jenius Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 While you couldn't pull off a giant flying jack o' lantern you probably could do a Jolly Roger on the top of a VF-1.
505thAirborne Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 We'd probably all save on shipping though since at that size it would probably fly itself to us.
Guest Courfid Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) I wish all Yamatos work was as detailed as some of Hasegawas/Bandais. I recently compared the 1/60 VF-0S to Hasegawas 1/72 version, and the difference is quite big. I hope the VF-4G is a start of them paying more attention to the finish on their figures, because that's basically the only one I can think of that looks less like a toy and more like an actual Valkyrie.

Murphy Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) I wish Yamato could get the rights to make Macross the Ride valks, then maybe they could poop out a YF-25 prophecy, it would also be cool if they continue with the VF-X nd VF-X2 line I would love to have a Ravens squadron.

Phalanix Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 yeah...love this for now. Fore pre-order at HLJ! http://www.hlj.com/product/hsgsp309
Black Valkyrie Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I think they should produce die-cast parts (shoulder joints) for the 1/60 VF1 ver.02 and sell them separate.
VF5SS Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 That part doesn't work if made out of metal which I why I have shapeways use polyamide.
Raptor One Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Did someone say VF-9!?!? Edited October 30, 2012 by Raptor One
MichaelS Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 It seems this last article did say Mr. K wants to do one and some of the other unloved Valkyries (VF-9,VF-14 and the like)
Mommar Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Mr. K personally wants to redo the ones made before he came on board. Also he wants to try SV-51 (his first product) one more time. Also if chances are given, he wants to do the ones never made before (VF-0D, VF-9, VF-14, Battle7 and Variable Gra..etc..) About user request. The most wanted are Macross-F items, but other company is making good products (Bandai), so maybe later if timing is right. And YF-19! He wants to make the YF-21 renewal version if they can solve some of the problems they had before (and with permission - by boss? or license?) Please keep loving Macross!!~ I was just re-reading this. Battle 7 is a cool idea but... SDFM version of SDF-1 first. Mac 7 version of VF-14 I'd buy. The M3 version I wouldn't do.
aceoftherebellion Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Does Yamato have the licence for M3? We know they've got the licence to do 7, obviously, so maybe we can hope there's higher chances for that version. I have to agree, I much prefer the simpler SR-71 look of the M7 version to the over-greebled M3 version myself.
Mommar Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 The farther down the obscure path they travel the more expensive these bad-boys are going to be as well though.

MichaelS Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Anybody need a kidney I got 1 I'm not using?
Sandman Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 The vf-9 is probably the valk i care about least. Ugliest valk not counting the metal siren.
aceoftherebellion Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 See, I'm all for getting these obscure valkyries done so that Yamato has nowhere left to go BUT to make a Metal Siren or a VF-2SS... A MAN CAN DREAM OKAY.
valk1j Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 The vf-9 is probably the valk i care about least. Ugliest valk not counting the metal siren. I agree, Yamato needs to make the VF-5000.
MichaelS Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 We should ask Graham whats up, doesnt he still have an in with Yamato?
jvmacross Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Now that Bandai announced some of their wares for next year... Really looking forwards to Yamato's announcement......still hoping it's a TV SDF-1!!!
VF5SS Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I would buy the hell out of a VF-9 and then stroke its smooth ventral trench all day.
Loop Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 We should ask Graham whats up, doesnt he still have an in with Yamato? Last time we asked for something, I think they did not e-mail him back. But maybe he and Yamato are still friendly.
MichaelS Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I would buy the hell out of a VF-9 and then stroke its smooth ventral trench all day. dude let's all count to 10 thou you may need to count longer. Lol!
wm cheng Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The VF-2SS!! That will be my last holy grail-money-is-no-object item... although I don't think Mr. K designed that, so maybe he won't want Yamato to produce it.
Mommar Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The VF-2SS!! That will be my last holy grail-money-is-no-object item... although I don't think Mr. K designed that, so maybe he won't want Yamato to produce it. Mr. K is the head guy at Yamato, not Kawamori.
wm cheng Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Mr. K is the head guy at Yamato, not Kawamori. Oh, I thought it was Kawamori - thanks for clearing that up... maybe there is the slightest thin glimmer of hope afterall... Something tells me that if the VF-4G box comes with a teaser about a possible Christmas 2013 exclusive, this thread will dry up pretty soon! :-P What do you know? Do tell!
skullmilitia Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I'd be all over the VF-9 or the Vf-5000. Bring it!
MichaelS Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Dimis spill your guts or we will do it for you with a dull bootleg copy of macross!!!!
MacrossJunkie Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Dimis spill your guts or we will do it for you with a dull bootleg copy of macross!!!! Fantastic! A good old fashioned ritual sacrifice. That should appease the toy gods.
M!CK Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 The VF-2SS!! That will be my last holy grail-money-is-no-object item... although I don't think Mr. K designed that, so maybe he won't want Yamato to produce it. Agreed! Yamato, do it!
3D-Brainx Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 was a non kawamori design 1/60 macross toy ever made?
VF5SS Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Yamato will make one as soon as Kawamori sells Macross to Disney.
Sandman Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 You know i don't love the Vf-2SS like i use to since they made macross plus and on. I think the nose bugs me. If the nose was shaped more like a real fighter plane or other vfs i'd probably like it better.
Mommar Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 I think we're veering WAY off topic. That being said, I only ever liked the Gerwalk/Battroid on the 2SS.
