Loop Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Ah, that would make sense. But is there a reason for the awkward leg positioning (sans forward knee bend)? All I have to say is 1:05 - 1:08 I see forward a forward leg bend...... I have no doubt that Yamato will incorporate a proper leg bend. Pause it, rewind it a hundred times if you have to, but it's there. Edited June 14, 2011 by Loop
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Never cared much for the 17s head or red mecha in general, but I gotta admit that the 17s in red looks pretty bad ass.
Uxi Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I'd probably lean on the VF-17D over the VF-17S, but think I'd like a complete Diamond Force, so two VF-17D and one VF-17S
wintermute Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Surprisingly, I am way more interested in this toy than the Fire Valkyrie. I can haz VF-171 plz?
badboy00z Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I wonder if Bandai will try to reverse engineer Yamato's VF-17 to make their own VF-171. lol
LOW_ALT Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 ^ ugh I hope so, I've been waiting for the VF-171 EX for too long'' I just really hope they get that leg joint figured out for gerwalk mode because that whole falling forward look just makes it seem like it belongs in the special olympics for valks
Loop Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) I just really hope they get that leg joint figured out for gerwalk mode because that whole falling forward look just makes it seem like it belongs in the special olympics for valks Are you referring to the Macross-F DX VF-25's Gerwalk mode?

UN Spacy Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Yamato didn't have anything to show at the latest Tokyo Toy Show?
kanedaestes Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Well seeing as how the last thing to show was a CAD design, unless it is more CAD designs I don't see why they would have anything to show just yet. They are still working on it.
Graham Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Anybody want to hack or steal my phone, then u can see full CADs as well as rapid prototype pics......LOL. Graham

CF18 Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Yamato didn't have anything to show at the latest Tokyo Toy Show? 2nd year (or longer?) that they are not wasting time on a kid's toy show.
mickyg Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Concerning the gerwalk leg thing and proof of a proper forward bend-it is there and it's episode 35 that you'll want to check out. Has it quite obviously for most of the episode even.
Twoducks Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Anybody want to hack or steal my phone, then u can see full CADs as well as rapid prototype pics......LOL. Graham AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaahhhhhhh! Hack IT NOW! (Soooo, when can we expect to see hem? When is the next toy show room?)
Ignacio Ocamica Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Anybody want to hack or steal my phone, then u can see full CADs as well as rapid prototype pics......LOL. Graham Can you at least confirm it's well proportioned and absolutely beautiful!!!
Actar Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaahhhhhhh! Hack IT NOW! (Soooo, when can we expect to see hem? When is the next toy show room?) Wonderfest in August maybe?
Graham Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Can you at least confirm it's well proportioned and absolutely beautiful!!! Yes. Graham
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) So no tiny feet or tiny hands for bot mode then? (I'm not skeptical about the feet but what of the hands?) 1/48 vf-1 all about fighter mode. Clown hands were provided but were not perfect transformable ie did not fit into the sleeve) extra big hands had to be used for gbp. 1/60 vers2 hands are more normal. Robo mode is fine. 1/60 vf-11 everything looks fine in bot mode. 1/60 yf-19 people now want fat legs after seeing vf-19 1/60 vf-22/yf-21 shrunken feet and the lower legs lack calf muscles like in the lineart. 1/60 vf-19 short and stout and good bot mode. I'm thinking the hands need to be beefy just because it is a fat robot. But you never know with yamato. They gave 1/48 a big chest, and skeleton fingers. It's time these robots ate a few burgers now that people are sick of skinny look. (I'm not against skinny robot look since I believe fighter mode is the main one though. If they are 3d cg objects they should be skinny in bot mode. 2d drawings in bot mode which are fattened up = not the true real world proportion imo. valks should be all about a skinny guy lightweight armour and dodging unless they have add-ons like gbp) Edited June 20, 2011 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
Actar Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Yes. Graham I'm dying to know if it'll be the D or S first! (^o^)
Frogze Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I'm not worried for the VF-17. After releasing the VF-19 Firevalkyrie Yamato has made it clear that they have some of the best toy engineers out there. Preparing to be amazed again

m0n5t3r Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 guess the wait will be a little bit longer for us D lovers...
EXO Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I'm sure you'll get it soon. Yamato is pumping out this stuff at a breakneck speed. I haven't even gotten my VF-22 M&M yet! I can't believe the Firevalk is out. Seems like last month when they posted the autocad of it.
Actar Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) S, thought I'd mentioned earlier in the thread. Graham You did hint at it, but nothing definite from what I recall. Anyways, I'm glad that they decided to release the S first, as Gamlin really did see some awesome action in it. I can't believe the Firevalk is out. Seems like last month when they posted the autocad of it. Tell me about it! Looking at it now, I can't belive it has already been more than a year since it was announced. Edited June 21, 2011 by Actar
ff95gj Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 We'll get a Millia 17S, right? I won't mind Yamato coming up with a Max paint. Really. That is okay. Do it if they wish. Give it to me, damn it.
kensei Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) The VF-19 was so good, I might prepare to buy all four of these when they get released. Like EXO, was very late to the party ever since the V2 VF-1s toys were so good since then from Yamato. Hope plenty of re-releases get sent our way for all of them. Who would have though such justice would have been done for the Macross 7 line by Yamato? Edited June 21, 2011 by kensei

blackconvoy_D01 Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 The VF-17 will most certainly be my next purchase for my Macross collection. Any potential word on a rough sale date?
kanedaestes Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Be awesome if it were the end of the year, but it will be next year i am sure. Since we saw the CAD designs for the VF-19 last year and it was released this year.
Graham Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 They are aiming for end of the year, but it will still likely end up being in Q1 2012. No reaction missile bays confirmed. I was told that if they had sacrificed the rear landing gear, they may have been able to fit the bays, but there is just not enough room in 1/60 scale to fit everything. Graham
Uxi Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 They are aiming for end of the year, but it will still likely end up being in Q1 2012. No reaction missile bays confirmed. I was told that if they had sacrificed the rear landing gear, they may have been able to fit the bays, but there is just not enough room in 1/60 scale to fit everything. Will they consider a partsformer? IOW, "standard" mode is perfect transformation without the room, but we could swap out the leg panels or whatever and sacrifice the landing gear with the appropriate parts to have the bays? Kinda like the VF-1 detail version or the DYRL with the destroyed guns.
Reïvaj Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 They are aiming for end of the year, but it will still likely end up being in Q1 2012. Graham That's actually a very long time, I'm really looking forward to it!!! Thanks for the updates, Graham.
