Teasers for HMR vf-2ss, vf-4, 0A and 1/60 VF-19 Kai, YF-19, and SHF Britai too... If that VF-19Kai DX figure comes into fruition, I wonder if all of the members here will buy one? Count me out.

seti88 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hehe will have to see how "powerful" the bandai hype machine is, if bandai decides to produce it. I didnt watch M7 back in the day, so effects on me might be a tad bit muted... From collection point of view though, the kai being a principal character valk, it should sell well, especially if you want hero valk representation from every macross show...

no3Ljm Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Come to think of it, Mac7 is the only Macross show I totally ignored. I'm not sure why. But one reason I remember is that after I saw a commercial of it in some of the Manga Entertainment tapes back then, I didn't like it after I saw the Kai's having a face. I find it weird.

Chronocidal Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 2 hours ago, sh9000 said: I don't know if I'd spring for the Fire Valk (oh who am I kidding, it's a 19), but I would buy the crap out of that mold in VF-19F/S/P/K/LMNOQRTUV format. Just so long as they keep the hardpoints on the YF-19... Not that Bandai would bother making any of those.. but I can dream. I've been begging for some low-vis 19s from the Master file since Yamato's first Fire Valk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I like Basara, but we have multiple iterations of his ride already... What would really sweeten an official DX Kai announcement is if Bandai revealed they also have plans for Ray's VF-17T and Mylene's VF-11 MAXL—to complete the team. That would help set their iteration apart from the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Nice pictures. I wish there were some with better close ups. Thanks to everyone who provide more detail on the DX valkyries. I could have sworn that whole display was for HMR potential releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Let me float this idea. If (when?) Macross became a property that could be marketed world wide do you think we would more likely see some of the more obscure/odd variants both design and livery wise? I’m not sure Bandai would change much but I feel like Arcadia would jump at the chance to make non-cannon variants. They seem aware the western audience appreciates real world schemes and some of the more obscure Valk designs.

With an online app to custom design it, and then they build it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sildani Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Nice. They did a pretty good job with it. The nacelles are almost always out of whack, no matter what ship it is. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be able to heat it and adjust it. You know it probably should have been one of their bonus-style ships that's made a little bit larger. The size that's between the regular models and the XL models. LIke the REefit NX or all of the JJ-prise ships are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podtastic Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 DX Chogokin vf 1j came. I love how each digit on the hands is articulated. I want a vf 1s to go with this. Zentradi power armours at this level would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you like the look of the new suit more or you just GOTTA have the giant Ant he comes with in the US release he's pretty much the same figure as last time. Given the color palette and metallic content of both suits the original suit actually looks better next to Wasp than the new one does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tking22 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Got more stuff in. I broke my no Mafex rule after several years, I really liked Kingsman though so I had to get Eggsy and Harry. I've been on a board/table top game kick lately, I picked up Fallout and the New California expansion by Fantasy Flight Games. Highly recommended, like everything else by FFG, it's nicely paced, and a fantastic translation of the Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas experience in table top form.

It's the result of a contest to design the new Enterprise for Star Trek Online from a few years back. The Ent-E is lost in the late 24th century to an Undine rift and the ships that come out of it while captained by Data. The Odyssey class is a next-gen ship and one of the early members of the class gets made into the Enterprise-F and is captained by an Andorian.

That's all well and good but he never said he'd never heard of the F. Only that he didn't know the model was available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
