Lolicon Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Knew about the space whales, but never bothered finishing Macross 7 so I had no idea there was a whale hunting valk. Japan sure loves whaling! Quote
seti88 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 If greenpeace had mechas to protest against space whaling, wonder what would it be.... Quote

Xigfrid Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Woah! I never could imagine the accurate movements could be done at 48’ or 60’ scale. Amazing Quote

Graham is the Hunter and Maria was his wife (co-pilot). Hence a civilian whale hunter custom VF-1A with a harpoon gun. Quote

ScrambledValkyrie Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) @nightmareB4macross, that is some impressive work, especially the movable seats! And didn't Basara pilot the whale hunter valkyrie at one point before he got the VF-19P? Can't remember right now... Edited April 24, 2019 by ScrambledValkyrie Quote

I wonder if these two are about the same size: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/64861 This is painted, but no articulation. Seem to have good detail but hard to be sure. If you have $1.5K to spare and the space to display it. It is out of stock at BigBadToyStore. Quote

The Gerwalk is listed at 400mm tall and 600mm wide (according to the box sitting on my coffee table). Kit is stupid expensive, cost almost as much as my PG Phenex, when you include the $150 in shipping. Edited April 25, 2019 by Sanity is Optional Quote

Already have a huge backlog. But it is surely nice. "Presence"! Especially with Anasazi's decal. Quote
