Kyp Durron Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I loved the paint scheme on the 1/48 VF-1J stealth, but I've been waiting forever for Yamato to make a 1/60 V2 version. So since it was brought up in the 1/48 VF-1S TV thread, I felt it needed it's own thread here. So, if Yamato decided to make one, would you buy it? I know if they did, I'd be all over it like white on rice! Hell, I might even buy two. -Kyp Quote
Gian Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 If it comes with super and strike parts, count me in. And if yamato decides to make all those sweet GBP armor variations in urban camo, woodland camo, etc. For 1/60's count me in aswell. Quote
CF18 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Reissue the 1S, or make new 1A or 1J are all fine, but I want a stealth super/strike pack to go with it. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I would!! So yes, count me in too. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I personally wouldn't bother to buy one or at least it wouldn't be very high up on the "to buy" list. I still need to buy the Hikaru 1J before I would even consider the low vis version. And even then, the up coming current releases supercedes that and they are pretty expensive so that leaves little money left for yet another VF-1 with another paint scheme. Quote
Penguin Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Well, I've got all the 1/60 VF-1s except the "weathered" versions, so why not? It wouldn't happen, but it would be sweet if Yamato created a non-canon set of stealth fast packs, maybe inspired by the VF-17's, as a special for such a release. Or, the flip-top missile launcher packs that showed up in the line art sketches for the original VF-X game. Quote
jenius Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 not interested... I'm done with the v2s. Quote
Uxi Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I want them to do both 1A and 1J low-viz. I'd buy a full team of 4 birds. Quote
Fatalist Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I want them to do both 1A and 1J low-viz. I'd buy a full team of 4 birds. I second the "want" of a Low Viz scheme, and further approve of a new stealth variant and more variants that are non-cannon. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Last I checked, robot-kingdom.com had the Stealth VF1J with strike parts in stock for $300+ shipping Quote
Loop Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I'd bite, I have all of them except the weathered version in my collection. I really want an Alaska base color scheme though. I'm kinda wondering if the v2 VF-1S Low Vis Roy is the only one they are going to release though. Maybe they will release some other color schemes for the VF-1's during the anniversary. Quote
Raptor One Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I too would prefer a low-viz version Quote
Vi-RS Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 The V2 VF-1 is probably the most complete line out there for movie and tv, but I don't see any other custom schemes like they did in 1/48 except the low viz VF-1S. Quote
Javabean Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Yes I would get it, but must come with super parts, please! It must be come as regular release, not some exclusive website whatsoever purchase. Quote
Mog Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Nah, I'm perfectly happy with my 1/48 version : Quote
Agent-GHQ Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) I'll be all over this like flies on $hit$. Lots of potential paint scheme that I'd love to see done for the V2 line Edited November 5, 2011 by Agent-GHQ Quote
Jasonc Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Of course I would. I'm just happy that my 4 1/60 kits are coming in from HLJ. 1 of the A, S, and two of the J. Maybe a low-vis there. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I would love one. the Stealth -1J was my first 1/48 purchase, and it would be really cool to have a pair of them in both scales. Quote
raptormesh Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 Would get one, and it'll be my first VF-1 yammie . Quote
macrossnake Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 If it has the same paint scheme as 1/48 version, then -Yes. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I want a low-viz version first. but we already got a low visibility 1/60... Quote
Jasonc Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I'm not that into that shade of grey they gave the 1S. Personally, I'd pick up a v.1 1/48 low-vis scheme for a 1/60 in a heartbeat. I'm still under the opinion that Yamato should get the license to do the Minmay guard, and redo the low-vis. I know there'd be a lot of people into getting those tow. Oh, and re-release the Max and Milia. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) w/ SSPs, definitely. didn't like the color of the 1S low-viz they made for the v.2 1/60 (its like they mixed the 1/48 stealth and low-viz colors)... i prefer the color scheme of the VFX... a 1/60 low-viz with the same color scheme as the 1/48 would be hard to say no to, but make it a 1S or 1J. Edited November 5, 2011 by m0n5t3r Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I never fully saw the appeal of the LV1. To me It just looks like a monotone hunk of grey plastic with dark smudges all over it like somebody decided to handle the toy after doing a large charcoal drawing. I understand that it's a more realistic scheme than those seen in the show proper but it's Just so boring. if they had given it some sort of contrasting stripes and markings or used a multi-tonal grey camouflage I'd find it much more appealing, but as it is I just don't like it.

Kicker773 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Oops I guess that pic didn't belong in this topic.. but yes I think I would pick one up..sigh.. Edited November 6, 2011 by Kicker773 Quote
Uxi Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I'm not that into that shade of grey they gave the 1S. Personally, I'd pick up a v.1 1/48 low-vis scheme for a 1/60 in a heartbeat.

Oh, and re-release the Max and Milia. Darker than I like, but it's the yellow that contradicts "low viz" Quote
Kyp Durron Posted November 6, 2011 Author Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) Either way, other than re-issues, the only other thing for Yamato to do with the mold is to start making non cannon paint schemes. A 1/60 version of Yamato's limited 1/48 Low Vis would also be nice. I'd still rather have the Stealth scheme made first, though. -Kyp Edited November 6, 2011 by Kyp Durron Quote
Gian Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 It'd be cool if the low viz paint scheme were like the special forces squad's EX gear armor in Macross F - Sayonara no Tsubasa Quote
Omegablue Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Yes I would buy it!!! Though it must be the 1J!!! Not the 1S and not the 1A. As well I would also go for the 1A low vis!!! Yamato??? Quote
derex3592 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I'd go for a cannon fodder 1A in low vis i guess. Quote
CF18 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 So we are talking about 3 options: Low vis v1, Low vis v2 and Stealth. For the released versions, the Stealth 1J got the best attention to detail - even the UUM-7 missile box got matching color. Quote
