Your absolute favorite Macross toy you own...


Recommended Posts

The only rule?

You can NOT -under any circumstances- list more than one absolute favorite toy.

Pour moi?

My Takatoku hands down:

And thou?

If I can have only one...

It's a tough choice between my 1/48 and 1/60 VF-1S. I choose the TV 1/60 VF-1S then. The 1/48 loses for its chicken hands.

And the TV 1S can serve as Focker's valk or Hikayu's valk.

But if I REALLY can have one valk, I may as well don't own any. Valks are best in squads.

1/3000 SDF-1 Macross DYRL? version

It's the figurehead for my PC named "MACROSS" it just looks glorious displayed like that.

I think I change favorites from time-to-time.

Having said that I still go back to my 1/48 SKULL 001 with strike pack as my all time favorite.

I change favourites, too. I really want to say the 1/60 Fire Valkyrie because it's such an excellent toy, but I'm just so afraid of touching it because it's so expensive, that it actually takes a lot of the fun away.

Maybe the VF-11C?

I think I'll wait until after I own a V2 VF-25 to answer this. :)

It really gets close to v2 VF-1 this time. For me.

Still, I chose VF-1 if I can only own one.

though i'm REALLY loving my new YF-19 1/60v.I, neither it, nor any other Valk could ever usurp my 1/60v.II VF-1J Hikaru T.V. as my no.1 favorite MACROSS toy.

it's simply the finest iteration, to date, IMO, of my favorite variant of what i consider to be the finest Mecha design of all time, variable form or otherwise...

Yamato 1/48 DYRL VF-1S Hikaru with Strike Packs.

I only have the one 1/48 and that's it. I have about ten 1/60s which I also like a lot. But the 1/48 was such a milestone. And its bigger despite its few faults.

Changes from time to time. Currently a joint tie between the Yamato 1/60 VF-19Kai and the Bandai 1/60 v.2 VF-25F.

In the past it has been:

Yamato 1/48 VF-1S Hikaru with Strike Packs.

Yamato 1/60 VF-11B.

Yamato 1/60 VF-0S.

Bandai 1/65 VF-17D DX.

Bandai 1/55 VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valk.

Something nobody else has. :p

(Well, technically, the stickers and scheme are what make it unique.)

1/60 YF-21

I love the shape of it in fighter and battroid mode and i like how it transforms so differently to every other valk.

Collectable toy I would say the Yamato SDF-1 hands down.

As to one I am actually not afraid to screw around with any day of the week I would say any of my VF-1 1/60s cracking shoulders and all. Hands down they are my favorite toys period. Now I only need a 1/60 Max and Mira to complete my collection......whenever/if Yamato ever re releases those. :(

Takatoku 1:55 VF-1S Super Valkyrie [recent Bandai re-issue]. Essential. No Macross toy is more fun.

Gotta be the 1/60 VF-22S Gamlin version. My fave VF in cool colours.

Posted

1/48 Roy Skull Leader w/ Strike Pack. Yeah the v.2 are more solid, but everytime you put down the v.2 and pick up that big mofo, it's just pure valk ferocity. VF-1 FTW for me.

Posted

I don't really have a single favorite, but I'd have to say the YF-19 and YF-21 are tied in first place. MacPlus was the first Macross anime I watched as an adult, and as I've said many times, was my reintroduction into the Macross franchise.

But nostalgia aside, the MacPlus designs were a huge leap in design style from the VF-1, especially the YF-19.

In terms of looks alone, I'd have to go with the VF-22S Gamlin. Sleek and deadly.
