Kyp Durron Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 YF-19 V2, please. Or at least a non canon, VF-1J. -Kyp
EXO Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 YF-19 V2, please. Or at least a non canon, VF-1J. -Kyp I'd say there's a good chance of both... except one is a non-paint kit already available...
Kyp Durron Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Fine, as long as they release it molded in light Grey or Grey. -Kyp
EXO Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 They really should do the unpainted in gray... 100% agree. It only makes sense, it's just a recolor of the kits and completists would buy it again. And I'd get my low viz skull squadron I've always wanted! lol.
eugimon Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 yup, I'd definitely be down for a squad if the kits were available in grey
Vi-RS Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Honestly all their kit versions should have been molded in some sort of grey. I don't understand why would they molded in white or official colors plus a sheet of decals on markings that they already released in toy version. If I wanted an official markings, I would have bought the toy. Edited January 22, 2013 by Vi-RS
Chronocidal Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Actually, considering the price difference, I think it still made sense to include the standard markings. Granted, the VF-1 wasn't exactly on the high-end of the price range with Yamato's offerings, but the kits were definitely cheaper than an assembled ones. While I would love them to release a VF-1 kit in gray, I'm not sure I care that much about more VF-1s now. If anything, I'd buy a couple gray kits and mashup the parts with my white ones so there'd be less painting to make a 1970s style F-14 scheme. I really just wish they had used the DYRL off-white for the kits so they wouldn't yellow so easily. I'm much MUCH more interested in getting kits of other valks at this point though, especially if they can make a generic catch-all kit for the VF-19 that includes both wing types with optional canards. I'd probably buy several, especially if they make them in gray.
Mog Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 SDF-1 TV VERSION FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND RIGHT!!! This, this, this. A THOUSAND times this!!
Lupin The Third Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 When does Yamato tend to announce things? Well Winter Wonderfest is Feb 10 so probably then. I do hope it's more than the VF-1A, 1D, and Guitar shown two pages back. It does seem rather quiet from them given that we already know Bandai has a reissue of the YF-29 30th, 30th Super Parts, VF-171 CF, VF-27, and Vajra coming this year and we aren't even done with January yet.
DarrinG Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Hopefully M&M valks and TV Super Parts. Phalanx Kit or full Toy. VF Lighting Flashback Version...
logos Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Hopefully M&M valks and TV Super Parts. Phalanx Kit or full Toy. VF Lighting Flashback Version... If that is all we got this year I would be happy. Yamato unlike Bandai seems to want my money anway. Edited January 23, 2013 by logos
GU-11 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I know I sound like a broken record, but I'll be happy if they announce a reissue of the VT-1 Super Ostrich with fixed (non-cracking) shoulder hinges this WonderFest. A VF-2SS would be a very unlikely but pleasant surprise.
Lupin The Third Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 This might be a dumb question, but is Yamato done officially with 1/48 scale? And if so, why? I kind of like the more substantive size compared to 1/60.
BoaRepublic Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I would love any of the following... Battle Pods Officers Battle Pod The Three Mospeda Alphas Invid Super Ostrich Re-Issue
jvmacross Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 This might be a dumb question, but is Yamato done officially with 1/48 scale? And if so, why? I kind of like the more substantive size compared to 1/60. I hope not...probably not regular releases though....with that said....I would like to see Macross Chronicle exclusives 1/48 VF-1S TV and VF-1D...
aceoftherebellion Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 It's been a really long time since they did any 1/48, so IDK. Seems kinda unlikely at this point that they'd go back, since 1/60 seems to have become the standard default for the series, even across company lines, since Bandai looks to have roughly the same stance... Stranger things have happened, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
jenius Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 If they go 1/48 again (or larger) it's going to be like an "Ultimate Deluxe" line or something, that's my guess. We'd see integrated everything, superior articulation, details we never dreamed about, at a cost of probably like 3x a 1/60 V2.
Vi-RS Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I think a 9" figure is the best size in term of handling, engineering capability within the price point. I never like the 1/48 scale, partly because of the size, poor fitments, and proportions, so they are dead for good.
Sandman Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I wouldn't mind more 1/48 stuff but like Jenius said i think the price point would be way more expensive even if they didn't include all the bell and whistles.
Valkyrie Magnus Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I would liked to see the super ostrich and the M&M valks rereleased. It seems though that VF-1's are disappearing from stores. Makes me think Jenius could be right about V3 coming out soon
Kanedas Bike Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I would liked to see the super ostrich and the M&M valks rereleased. It seems though that VF-1's are disappearing from stores. Makes me think Jenius could be right about V3 coming out soon Re: another VF-1 redesign, hopefully not, invested too much money in the v2 1/60 VF-1 to consider a 4th go round with Yamato (v1, 1/48, v2) for the design. Not including the recent Bandai offerings. Just give us some more non-canon schemes or something new. -b.
UN Spacy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 After looking at my M-Quarter and SDF-1 shelf I'll say it again. BATTLE-7
kaiotheforsaken Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I'd really like to see them revisit Macross Zero. I only ever bought a Nora SV-51 and I love it. But with all the great new stuff Yamato has been doing, Zero could stand to get updated. Hopefully then we'd see some of the things we missed the first go around. TV SDF-1 would be awesome too
Sandman Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Yes a new vf-0s and a would be awesome. Mainly because i could buy them at a reasonable price.
505thAirborne Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Was thinking about this one the last few days. A 1/60 scale VF-4 non-variable, Fighter mode only. Working cockpit & landing gear with a pilot. Why, personally I love this VF for fighter mode only and would easily get 3 or 4 of these. SDF-1 TV style and V.2 Mac Zero toys!!
valk1j Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 In this order: VF-5000 YF-19/VF-19A v.2 VF-0 v.2
ErikElvis Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Ill take a VF-0 with ghost, YF-19, or some decent VF-1 repaints.
Kicker773 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 How about like it was planned and not vaporware: 1/48 Monster Breetai 1/60 Kai valkyrie Speaker Pod
Reïvaj Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 How about like it was planned and not vaporware: 1/48 Monster Breetai 1/60 Kai valkyrie Speaker Pod 1/48 Monster?!! That'd be huge!!!
EXO Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 lol... there's only been one 1/48 line for Yamato and that's the VF-1. And I think that was just to get them to stand as tall as the other valkyries in your display. I don't think they ever even thought about an entire line of Macross toys in 1/48. That would make the YF-21 and YF-19 huge also. Though I wouldn't mind seeing it. lol.
Loop Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 I thought so, if they ever made that beast the only place I could put it is on my Sub Woofer. Sometimes I store my larger toys there temporarily. http://www.svsound.com/subwoofers/ported-box/pb13-ultra#.UQQ5qGdc49c
