CoreyD Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I'm actually tempted to buy two VF-1A battroids from the Robotech Kickstarter project and paint them up like the M&M video game battle. Only makes sense that they'd be much smaller than the other 1/60 valks, right? Quote

Deadeye_281 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I'd love to see a 1/60 V2 YF-19 from Arcadia. I'd also love to see a 1/60 VF-2SS SAP Special at some point. I don't know why the poll above was constructed with the MacII valks in a separate header as if they were contagious or something. The VF-2SS is a beautiful valkyrie on it's own. Yeah the series was kinda junk all in all, but the design itself shouldn't be cast aside because of that. Just sayin'... Quote
xrentonx Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 The 2SS would give all of the others a run for their money from the looks of things. Plenty of Macross fans like the design well enough despite the vocal minority Quote
Deadeye_281 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I totally agree. MacII hate aside, imagine a 1/60 VF-2SS that had all the gimmicks of the renewal VF-25 armor packages, IE: flip open missile bays anyone? The VF-2SS is covered in them. It could be done and it could be made to look beautiful. Quote
Graham Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Where is my Spartan? This is Sparta(n)! LOL Graham Quote
Mommar Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Even more amazing, after the renewal YF-19 the other two Mac2 valks would get made before anything from the primary series. Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 i voted alaska base vf-1 since well the mold exists, easy repaint. It will sell. Easy one first time out and hopefully it will show them macross is profitable! other than that i guess i'd love to see a 1/60 glaug and regult. The V2 YF-19 would be a good play too as their are tons of macross plus fans and that V1 isn't up to par with the other recent releases. Quote
DarrinG Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 M&M Super Re-issue with Option Parts = lots of people world over saying "Here Arcadia, please take my money ( for a very low-risk, zero new tooling and new packaging product for you right out of the gate ) ..." Seems like an easy decision... Quote
Mommar Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Easy repaint doesn't necessarily mean it will sell. It took Yamato collapsing for Kaki to finally start selling out. Quote
jvmacross Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 I want VF-17S Millia type! Why is it not on the poll?.......Grrrr! And also want: V2. YF-19 V2. VF-0A/S VF-0D Fz-109 VF-2SS w/SAP Graham Because the dang thing only allows for 20 choices after each poll question.....thus why I added the MacII valks on another "question".... So no....it's not some conspiracy against Mac II...I don't want a Hello Kitty-Type!!! (well, maybe ).........I actually would want a VF-2SS before the YF-19 2.0 but we all know that won't happen.... So just base it on vote count rather than percentage.....either way it's just for fun guys/gals! Quote
Gian Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I love the design of the VF-2SS, it's so futuristic and sleek! I want one in 1/60 too! Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Easy repaint doesn't necessarily mean it will sell. It took Yamato collapsing for Kaki to finally start selling out. i agree some initial runs didn't sell well. i think it's accurate to point out some of these didn't come into demand until they were hard to find. i clearly remember the virgin road was not selling at all just sitting in angloz as well as the vf-1j mass prod at 79.00 usd. and still wouldn't buy it. and the VT-1 being on clearance for so long @ hlj at 50% off. now, that they are hard to find, the demand has been driven up. based on the market demand now it's fairly safe the max and miria's will sell fast.

No...the intent is just to have fun with it.....If Arcadia asked what the fans want next sort of thing.... Unfortunately, the poll limits you to only 20 choices per poll questions.....so I started off by listing VF, destroids, and enemy mechs that have not been made yet....obviously the 20 limit was going to cause alot of ommisions.... Then someone asked why there were no MacII valks...so the only way to add those was to create a second "question"....then the numbers started piling up for the MacII valks...but that was only because the "polling" feature forces you to vote on all questions and not just one.....so there you go.....Are Mac II valks loved...sure...more than other designs...maybe.....but probably not...or maybe so?

Dimis Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Excusez-moi... Where's the Metal Siren in the poll? Quote
Gakken85 Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Where is my Spartan? Exactly. One of my favorite Mechs of all time! I would love to see one but I doubt they will since the destroids didn't sell so well. It would make an awesome SOC too. Like 1/60 monster? LoL! Spartan and Phalanx first! Quote
jvmacross Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Excusez-moi... Where's the Metal Siren in the poll? Sorry...fixed the name.....but still only available as a Monchhichi paint scheme "collaboration" with Sekiguchi!!!!!!!! Where is my Spartan? OK...removed the VEFR-1 since apparently no one wants to complete the VF-1 line...and added the Spartan....make yourself heard!!! Edited May 10, 2013 by jvmacross Quote
Shaorin Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 I've never hated Mac II, but then I love all Macross animes. I'd love a 1/60 VF-2SS W/SAP from Arcadia. It's a beautiful design. Graham that'd be wonderful... so long as as the SAP is removable... Quote
jvmacross Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 No love for the VF-14 or Varuta valks??? ....Varutas would be hard to pull off in all three modes...but based on past Macross 7 valk work...I'm sure they would be nice... Quote
jvmacross Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 No option for a 1:1 scale 'real doll' Sheryl? Well, being Arcadia...only if it is an underage "angel" version.... Quote
skullmilitia Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Well, being Arcadia...only if it is an underage "angel" version.... Bazinga! Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Excusez-moi... Where's the Metal Siren in the poll? Indeed. two versions in the film! Quote
raptormesh Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I would love to have the VF-2SS but I think the Metal Siren is an abomination. I mean in battroid mode it looks like a body building VF-1(admittedly, the "sonic" attack mode is pretty cool) but the fighter mode looks like some gundam space ship made with leftover lego. (no offense to gundam fans) Quote
Murphy Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) ^ %100 agree I like the vf-2ss but the metal siren looked like scat. Ewwwwww. Image courtesy of macross mecha manual. Edited May 12, 2013 by Murphy Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Nope still want it, screw you guys im goin home. Prefer just the moon festival reveal color scheme though. Edited May 12, 2013 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I voted. .. for Kamjin Nousjadeul-Ger DYRL? WITHOUT QUESTION HE NEEDS CREATION! Includes head swap, helmeted, normal scowling non helmet and SPUUHH blood face expression helmet version lol Also as an exclusive bonus smashed Roy 1S head swap for v.2 1/60 pfffwwoooarrr. V.2 19 would be cool, it needs to be done, would like the master who created the 1/60 21 another crack at the 21 for a possible v.2 but he's pretty much achieved perfection but I'm a biased 21 fan that bleeds zentran blud.

anime52k8 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Am I seriously the only person who voted VF-14? I'm disappointed. I do want to show some solidarity with whoever bravely voted VF-3000 because would be my second choice after VF-14. Quote
miro79 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Am I seriously the only person who voted VF-14? I'm disappointed. I do want to show some solidarity with whoever bravely voted VF-3000 because would be my second choice after VF-14. I think the vf-14 is pretty ugly in fighter mode. Battroid looks cool, but the rest is just nah.. But my choice is also not very popular. Only 2 votes for the VF-9 so far. The Vf-3000 looks too similar to the VF-1 in my opinion, and for my part, i want something new, with a unique transformation. Quote
raptormesh Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I voted for the MAXL because the immature part of me wants a valk with boobies, just cause. Quote
