505thAirborne Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 1/60 H.D.P Monster kit perhaps? Hehe... One can only hope.
Guest Courfid Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 DESTROID PHALANX VF0S ARMORED (it's a dream, it's amazing for me) Now those two I could definitely get behind.
caslon Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 One can only hope. There is always a hope for us..look at the bright side of the "Y"...keep praying for it and it may come true..LOL
David Hingtgen Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Well the VF-5000 did appear in MD7. And it's got a lot more animation/screen time than the VF-4, for sure.
caslon Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Not so fast!! Make one 1/60 VF-1 low viz for me first!!!
Isamu Dyson Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 With all these beautiful VF-19s coming out isn't obvious what deserves another revival?.....Drumroll.......dumdumdumdum "YF-19" version 3 or version 2 for the 1/60 purists. No contest - Proven seller, Hero valk, Fan Fave - Yamato make it happen. I'll buy 4 of them and I bet Kicker would purchase 10.
connor99 Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I hope they re-issue the standard color Tomahawk. I missed out on the first time and would like to get at least one for my collection.
Busted VF1A Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I know it's been said, but a YF-19 v2 would be nice.
David Hingtgen Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 All non-canon schemes sell poorly. Yeah, like the Fokker-style YF-29 which was so easy to get.
Astralith Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I was really impressed with those poseable 1/60 Zentraedi soldiers. Some enemy forces would be cool. Of course, scale IS an issue to be officially resolved I think (see Klang Klan)... of course, however, I'm a noob.
VF5SS Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Yeah, like the Fokker-style YF-29 which was so easy to get. バンダイ is a funny way to spell Yamato Edited September 11, 2012 by VF5SS
Kyp Durron Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 All non-canon schemes sell poorly. I don't recall the Low-Vis VF-1S and the VF-X selling poorly, nor do I recall the 1/48 VF-1A Low Vis languishing on the shelves, either. Sure, they might not have ALL sold well, but they certainly didn't ALL sell poorly, either. I want to see a T.V. SDF-1, I don't care what scale it's in, 1/3000, 1/5000, what the Hell ever scale, I want to see one get made. And if for some reason that's just not doable, then give me a 1/60 VF-1J Stealth! -Kyp

AT DAMNED NEAR $500 A POP?!? i wish i was half as LOADED as you fellows seem to be... I know it's been said, but a YF-19 v2 would be nice. indeed it would be... but at something considerably less than near half a kilobuck a copy... Edited September 11, 2012 by Shaorin
Kyp Durron Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 But the VF-X is a canon Valkyrie. D'Oh! I forgot about that, but it's still a very unusual scheme though. -Kyp
Chronocidal Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) I guess then the kit version was made to appease all those fans who wanted non-canon schemes? If that's the case, they need to start issuing kits of everything. I don't get it though. They have to know what the low vis 1/48 goes for now. Maybe it didn't sell well to start, but there's a certain portion of the fanbase who'd be selling off spare organs to get military scheme releases of everything. Maybe it'd make more sense to make them web exclusives, but I have a hard time believing there's no profit to be made on them. Edited September 12, 2012 by Chronocidal
jenius Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 The 1/48 LowVis DID languish on store shelves. It was a long time before it sold out and then eventually became a collector's item. The Low Vis VF-1S Focker is just a darker version of a canon scheme... I'm pretty sure that's exactly because of what stinkers the 1/48 LV, LVII, and Stealth were for Yamato. If you want a non-canon scheme maybe you'll get a Hikaru VF-1J LV that's a dark gray but I'm pretty sure the reason Yamato keeps releasing "no paint" versions is so that people can make their own non-canon schemes because Yamato doesn't want to risk getting burned by them. Maybe Yamato will prove me wrong though.
David Hingtgen Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 バンダイ is a funny way to spell Yamato I had figured about a 50% chance it'd be you to bring up that point. (the other 50% would be jenius)
Chronocidal Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 If they're going to just release kits then, I wish they'd consider releasing some in different colors. There are so many white valks, they all blur together. And it's not like it'd be a massive undertaking to release them in colors they've already released. The VE-1 and VF-X were already in gray, all they'd have to do is prep the molds for more of those types, and skip the tampo and assembly processes.
RazgrizRezel Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Would be cool for a 1/3000 Megaroad-1.......
myk Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I'd like another shot at a 1/60 Low 'Viz, without paying a kidney and a lung on ebay...

A lot of the non cannon schemes from the Master File books use gray as the primary color, so all Yamato would have to do is put a gray unpainted valk out with some 1/60 squadron decal/sticker sets (or a 3rd party could source them) and we could go nuts. I was actually thinking about using one of my version one VF-1A cannon fodders to try the tan skull squadron scheme that's in the Space Wings Master File. Didn't seem like there was a whole lot of extra detailing needed on that one. Worth a shot for my first "custom" .
M'Kyuun Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I'd like to see them make the Variable Glaug. Whoever said Dorvack, I'll second. I missed out on the previous Calibur toys, and I'd love to see Yamato's take on both Mugen's Calibur and Oberon's Gazzette. As far as obscure Macross designs go, I'd love to see the BG-5C Fatman, from the Macross Designworks, realized. I'd be happy to have it at a smaller scale as long as the engineering was still on par with Yamato's current designs. Smaller would, I hope, mean less taxing on the wallet.

And due to the size difference, a lot of 1/72 F-14 stuff fits a 1/60 VF-1 well. (and half the master file etc schemes are modified F-14 schemes anyways)
Vi-RS Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 And due to the size difference, a lot of 1/72 F-14 stuff fits a 1/60 VF-1 well. (and half the master file etc schemes are modified F-14 schemes anyways) yeah...love this for now.
Mommar Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 yeah...love this for now. Holy crap, do I need to hurry up and paint one of my extra VF-1's like that!
David Hingtgen Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Hmmn. Wouldn't work QUITE as well on a VF-1 I think, having no tailplanes.
505thAirborne Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Would be cool for a 1/3000 Megaroad-1....... That sucker would be huge!
ultraman zoffy Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 That sucker would be huge! We'd probably all save on shipping though since at that size it would probably fly itself to us.
