Sumdumgai Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 The VF-11C is my favorite valkyrie toy yet. I could have done without the pink head-stripe, but that's the fault of Macross 7 and not Yamato. I own the old 1/72 VF-11B from Yamato, and how they updated the VF-11 design just blew me away. The way they got around having to do shoulder bars, the arm/shoulder reinforcement for gerwalk/battroid, and how tightly fitting everything is nothing short of awesome. Hell, they even got the internal heatshield working in a method similar to what I had suggested in an ancient thread, where most people argued there was no room for a heatshield and cockpit. Hah! If you love the VF-11 design, pick one up. This is also the first valkyrie I've owned where it can hold the gunpod out in front of it and maintain that pose. Nice stiff joints! I was also pleasantly surprised it didn't come in a ginormous box with lots of wasted space. I normally don't care about super parts, but find that these ones give it character, and don't make you scared of breaking stuff off (*cough-cough* 1/48 VF-1 backpack hinge *cough-cough*). Quote
Mommar Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Agreed, the bayonet pwns all! As much as I love the paint scheme and look of the VF-11C I do wish they had the old style 11B rifles. The Bayonet does look much better. Quote
Radd Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 One of my favourite Valkyries, I absolutely love it. I have the Macross Plus version, and really, really want the VF-11C. Unfortunately, I'm currently between jobs (moving to NYC for an unpaid animation studio internship, unless I hook something better in the meantime) so toys got shoved to the lowest of my spending priorities when my freelance money became my primary income rather than my toy income. Get it, get it, get it. You won't be disappointed. I'm just hoping that we eventually get the VFX Ravens scheme. Quote

I don't have the 11C yet, but I have always loved that color scheme. That is one sweet looking Valkyrie. Quote
Loop Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Still waiting on boosters for the B. What do you mean? Mine came in the box.... Anyways this toy is awesome I personally think the engineering on this toy is great. I only have the 11B but plan on getting an 11C sooner or later. As far as a Millia variant in chili red..... Was this model seen in Macross Dynamite 7? AFAIK Yamato only has the license for all the Macross Dynamite 7 Valks. Edited August 15, 2010 by Loop Quote
Cent Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 I mean the flight booster rockets in Mac Plus, not the Fast pack boosters. Quote

Tking22 Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 I might get a VF-11B next, definitely not a VF-11C because I'm not into buying several of the same figure just in a different color, and the 11C pilot looks retarded. And I will of course never buy 2 or 3 of the same figure because, to me, that's a massive waste of money. Quote

It does have a pink stripe on the head also that is not very attractive, but I think it looks sweet in jet mode(how I would display it anyway). I also agree The pilot does look like he is a little mentally challenged Quote
Scream Man Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 The best transforming toy Yamato has produeced, bar none. Im still on the fence about an 11C, because it's ALOT of money, but i love the 11B Quote

Im still on the fence about an 11C, because it's ALOT of money, but i love the 11B I must be in the minority here. I do love the 11B, but the 11C just looks so much more...bad ass. Of course, if you don't look at the pilot. Ha ha! Quote

Ha ha! I think the 11C looks much better than the 11B as well. Pink head stripe and all. We're all in agreement the pilot looks like some horrible blob however. Quote
eriku Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 We're all in agreement the pilot looks like some horrible blob however. Mr. Snowman pilot says, "You don't like me? WHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!" Quote
ae_productions Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Mr. Snowman pilot says, "You don't like me? WHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!" Whose flyin' that thing? ET? Quote
ae_productions Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Good god the internet is awesome. I really found your reply humorous. Ha ha! Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Mr. Snowman pilot says, "You don't like me? WHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!" So awesome and cruel at the same time I won't be able to erase mr. snowman's face when looking at that poor pilot!!! Quote
Tking22 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 I went ahead and ordered a VF-11B from evilbay, I don't remember hearing about any bad releases for this particular fig so I should be okay, I'm not much for the 11C's white scheme and that god awful pilot. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 It was a good choice. It's best appearance is in mac plus when dyson is using it in battroid mode and the noob pilots are fighting rogue zentradi and he manages to stab one with the gunpod. Even though it's a average looking robot he makes it look badass in that one scene. macross 7 only memorable part for the vf-11 was when it apeared with the extra armour. Quote
Dio Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Hobby Link Japan has the VF-11C 20% off right now, if anyone's interested. Quote
Scream Man Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Gyah, dont tell me that, I'm still wrestling with getting/not getting one. $230 Aussie shipped is still a hefty price tag though, So i just don't know. 4 years ago when I had a bigger disposable income this was a lot easier. Thats why i have so many VF-0's! Stupid being married... Quote

The 11C is most memorable to me when (at least) half a dozen of them exploded in every episode. In the same footage. Quote
Renato Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 The pink paint on the sides of the head is scraping off on mine, because of the way the arms transform. Anyone else having this issue? Quote

One more thing to add to your list, eh? Sorry to hear that though. No paint has scraped off mine yet. *cyber knock on cyber wood* Quote
Shaorin Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 DAMN IT, I NEED ONE. along with the other two MAC PLUS Valks... Quote

Scream Man Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 My wife and I are trying for our first kid now. I'm getting what I can, while I can before my disposable income disappears Quote
eugimon Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 My wife and I are trying for our first kid now. I'm getting what I can, while I can before my disposable income disappears Good luck with that. That's what I told myself and we were expecting our kid... hasn't really slowed down much. Quote
ron5864 Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Was the VF-11 used in Macross7 as well? It's been a while since I saw it but it seems familiar. Quote
boyarque Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 Was the VF-11 used in Macross7 as well? It's been a while since I saw it but it seems familiar. yes, it's the 'C' type...white in color.... Quote
Twoducks Posted September 17, 2010 Posted September 17, 2010 I love my VF-11. Wish they did the armor... It would be a perfect excuse to get another one Good luck with that. That's what I told myself and we were expecting our kid... hasn't really slowed down much. Tell me about it! Quote
