David Hingtgen Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 How about branching off to other things? I still want my v2 Escaflowne...
Tober Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I can see VF-2SS as possible, and VF-0 v2 plus SDF-1 TV as remotely possible. How about branching off to other things? They can do a much better Legioss than the other 2 recent offers, but I think the world has enough Legioss for now. Brave Gokin showed a Orguss prototype 3 years ago and then absolutely nothing, so may be Yamato can take a crack at it. Some Mospeada love would be nice. Griffin (Flight type) from Patlabor would be nice too.
xrentonx Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I agree on MOSPEADA. I do not yet own a proper Legios and Tread. I only have the two Beagle releases. For Macross, it has to be the VF-2SS for me or pick up Macross the Ride license and do those.
NeoverseOmega Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Here's the mad list spitting out of my fevered brain: V2. YF-19 (It's gonna happen) Considerably improved VF-0 a, s, and D (likely I think) Considerably improved SV-51 T.V. SDF-1 (I think reasonably likely because of the success of the DYRL version - of course the Macross the first version would be easiest) Varauta Mechs (Fz-109 especially). I know they don't like doing enemy mecha, but these are pretty sweet variable fighters. . . . Battle 7 (someday I can see them completing the whole host of transformable Macross battleships available to them). And I'm sayin' it because no-one else is likely to: Variable Gluag! Another cool variable enemy to take on your collection. . . . Now since I've already treaded into the valley of the unlikely but not entirely out of the question: V2. Escaflowne Mospeada Legioss, Tread, and Ride Armors for Yellow and Fuke Orguss and Nickick VF-2S and VF-2J Just to delve into a level of stupid obscurity, I'm going to say Dorvak and Galvion. This is beyond never gonna happen just 'cuz I can go there . . . .
Mog Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 TV. Style. SDF-1. Is it too much to ask for an updated version of the grand-daddy namesake that started this whole damn franchise off?
ErikElvis Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I have a lot of likes but I do really want a Ghost X9.
jvmacross Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 - of course the Macross the first version would be easiest)
Mommar Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 TV. Style. SDF-1. Is it too much to ask for an updated version of the grand-daddy namesake that started this whole damn franchise off? THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
jvmacross Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! Next web-sclusive....
Guest Courfid Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Has there ever been a really good Queadluun-Rau/Rhea? I would love one of those as detailed as the VF-4G in 1/60.
ultraman zoffy Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Yamato has done the research and decided that making a TV SDF-1 or even a Glaug could never possibly have enough appeal among Macross fans to sell well and justify production. In the meantime, those same marketing geniuses just know THIS thing will be a massive hit and totally worth making: ... good looking out, Yamato. Pfft.
xrentonx Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 The aesthetics of a key-tar...which makes it sorta awesome?
ultraman zoffy Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 The aesthetics of a key-tar...which makes it sorta awesome? Haha... well, I think if we break it down into degrees of awesomeness, the TV SDF-1 and Glaug come out on top by a hair or two.
MacrossJunkie Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm all for variety. A VF-5000 or one of the varauta VFs would be nice.
VF5SS Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 In the meantime, those same marketing geniuses just know THIS thing will be a massive hit and totally worth making: ... good looking out, Yamato. Pfft. yes exactly because everyone wants a toy of a robot from 30 years ago and not say, a replica of the guitar used by this guy
3D-Brainx Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Someone said already, I guess the next in logic would be to complete the Macross 7 valks, there's still a lot to be done there, at least 3 vf-11, 3 vf-17 and the vf-5000. Personally, I would love v.2 Macross Zero valks and a vf-0D Edited August 23, 2012 by 3D-Brainx
CoreyD Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 It's been said on here before, but I'd love to see a SVF-41 VF-1 CAG scheme released. I'd probably be holding my breath for a long time though. http://www.1999.co.jp/itbig07/10070210a.jpg
jvmacross Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 No one for the VF-11C full armor? I believe an enterprising "nut" will make this happen.....
jvmacross Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 It's been said on here before, but I'd love to see a SVF-41 VF-1 CAG scheme released. I'd probably be holding my breath for a long time though. http://www.1999.co.j...7/10070210a.jpg I dunno....the VF-1 is Yamato's bread and butter "valk".......with the release of the Cavalier VF....using the Master File scheme rather than the TV "canon"....I feel it is a safe bet that we will eventually see more Prometheus and ARMD squadrons produced, maybe not mass releases though....
ultraman zoffy Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 yes exactly because everyone wants a toy of a robot from 30 years ago and not say, a replica of the guitar used by this guy Well... who knew the Japanese Jimmy Page was going to be rocking this thing. I can see your point after that.
Kurisama Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I believe an enterprising "nut" will make this happen..... Huuuur huuuuur derp - oh you, stop it!
jvmacross Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Huuuur huuuuur derp - oh you, stop it! Dude...I wouldn't even know how to start!!! That's where you come in.....
Kurisama Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I'd love an official Yamato release of it - means I wouldn't have to make it! My personal wish list would be all the things I intend to make as well as the X-9, VF-2SS VF-2JA and an Octos That thing is bad ass.
3D-Brainx Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Does someone ever made a list of "missing 1/60 stuff"?? Not talking about wanted v2, but actual unmade 1/60 toys.
Twoducks Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Vinyl figures of the last two Sound Force battroids anybody? Cheaper to make than a full transforming robot and a great way to finish the trio. Add vinyl fighter modes into the mix and you get two perfect twopacks!!! Hello?? Anybody?? Come on!!! I’m serious. CHEAP, fast and great for completists!!...
Mommar Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 COnsidering how little it would take to modify the current VF-17 I don't see why making a whole new vinyl version would be a good idea. Maybe the Maxl.
neoexcaliber Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 How about a vf-19 in vf-x 2 scheme? I think they did release one in 1/72 but a 1/60 would be better. A VF-0D would be nice too. We need more blue mechas!
Chronocidal Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Actually, I'm not entirely sure about the VF-17T. I still want one, but there's a bit of work to be done redesigning the nose section. The head will be really easy to replace by comparison. Now, that's not to say that there isn't already room in that cockpit area for two figures. They might be able to pull off some VF-1D style rearrangement of things, and wedge two seats into the existing cockpit area. But either way, the canopy and cockpit need to be changed a bit. Given the way the VF-17 is made, they might be able to get away with changing only a few parts, and not having to change the transformation at all. It'll need a new cockpit section and a new nosecone most likely. Whether it'd also need a new chest section with a lengthened center to cover the larger cockpit, I don't know, but it looks likely. I need to watch scenes of the VF-17T again though... I almost thought it used a VF-171 style nosecone fold, because of the longer nose.
BeyondTheGrave Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Probably stuff form Macross the first. One could easily milk the molds of the vf-1 and all that is needed is paint and head changes.
typhoon Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 How about a VF-25...that you can actually get.... I joke....no sersiously
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 And I'm sayin' it because no-one else is likely to: Variable Gluag! Another cool variable enemy to take on your collection. . . . I keep saying it but it doesn't seem like there are many fans of it here.
Mog Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) So, the series is called Macross. It's about this big, hunking alien ship that lands in the Pacific. The humans study it and repair it. Make a crapload of technology based on and in response to it. It has this infamous maneuver called the Daedalus Attack that was used umpteen billion times in the series. . . . . . .And yet we haven't had an official toy update of the iconic mothership in over 25 years.
