Yamato 1/60 VF-X

[Bub]

Is the Roy Focker pilot the same as the Roy Focker in the VF-1S TV version? Thanks.

Max and Millia's wedding ep. (Virgin Road), he uses them to disable the battle pods when she says she doesn't want to kill any more.

After that just about the rest of the fight scene for the ep., every shot is using them too.

Those are technically animation errors. The episode was outsourced to Korea and they read the storyboards wrong.

I didn't say it was canon.

All I did was give him a scene where it was done which would make someone who didn't know the truth think otherwise.

I know they are not "lasers" and have known for quite some time.

Excellent color scheme. I just wish they had made indentations for the vents and not just paint applications.

Battroid pics?? Anyone???

well, the VF-X basically is completely different from VF-1. Making indentations on existing mold and tooling cost more, they might as well completely redo the new 100% non-tranforming fighther. That is not in their book though.

Again, VF-X was not meant to be transformed in the first place.

It's gonna look funny if this thing really transform.....

WHOA!!! BAD hair day! :lol:

[UN Spacy]

Hahahahaha...that qualifies as photo of the month.

[Cent]

That is the most intimidating head in the franchise. xD

[nightmareB4macross]

Ha, Ha, Ha.

Looks line an Alien Queen.

Still it would have been better for them to re-tool a few bits to make it right.

Thanks for the pics.

[Old Man]

Ha, Ha, Ha.

Looks line an Alien Queen.

I was thinking the same thing .

[Toonz]

HAHAHAHHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!! best laugh for the day!!!

[Vi-RS]

I don't want to transform it yet, in case I rub off any paint. I like the paint job!

dude when I looked at your picture I realize that you have the same problem as mine, the belly plate just don't sit flush.

I realize that both arms have to be pushed all the way forward. The shoulder hinge has to be 90 degree with the upper arm before you swing it back to its position in fighter mode. Most V2 come straight from factory in fighter mode didn't have the arms all the way in.

Once you get the arms in right position, it will sit flush.

Thanks for the tip! It would be a pain in the behind if the VF-X has a real flaw like that.

At some point during the VF-1's developmental career, shouldn't there have been a transformable prototype? One would think so. Yet I don't recall seeing any line-art for one.

Maybe they just tossed it into production and hoped it all worked out in the end.

I don't think any exists per se, but it does exist - in print.

Man, I've been out of it for a while. When did Yamato announce this?? Is this a limited edition? Looked on eBay, Amiami, etc. but not finding it anywhere...

Yeah, it was one of those japan-only exclusive deals.

[BlueMax]

Not just exclusive to Japan, but also exclusive to Japanese who buy/read Macross Chronicles.

[UN Spacy]

It's beaaautiful.

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering why it would not flush
