Reïvaj Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 DX Queadluun-Rhea. And it's not an enemy mecha. Quote
sreichma Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 1/60 Queadluun-Rhea and Enemy Vajra. Gotta have enemy and a Rhea in scale with the VF-25 series. Quote
sreichma Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 It would be obscure, but I'd buy a Jessica Blanc 171 sniper. I'd only get it though if it was somehow specialized and not just a CF171 with a sniper rifle. Quote
aaajin Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Reissues of 171 with better plastic... or different color scheme for 171 with different plastic / better QC. better nylon, but not sure if they can control the parts tolerance with that material. Quote
aaajin Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Better nylon? better, use stronger plastic such as nylon instead of those nasty brittle plastic...or something of that nature. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 Better nylon? More silicone... oh wait wrong forum. Quote
Firefox Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I just hope they could revive the 1/48 VF-25 project. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 If this is purely a wishlist, then I would prefer some more new molds. Top of the list by far is a Battle Frontier and/or Battle Galaxy in 1/3000 scale. Followed by Tornado packs, then maybe a Q-Rea, YF-24, and YF-25. But really, all I desire from them is Battle Frontier or Galaxy. Everything else is just nice to have icing on the cake. Quote
amptor Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) snip Is this a useful addition to the conversation? I see you're from the bay area as I maybe I bought your Yamato VF-1A BNIB valk off ebay years ago for 25 bucks shipped Oh cool I see this site does actually have an ignore feature so that is in place. This kid is over 10 years younger than me so yep, another good example of bad parenting. Anyway, Edited January 20, 2014 by amptor Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) VF-25E Heavy equipment model The VF-25E is the craft that's set up premised on it being operated with the Armour Pack as it's standard load. As it can be expected to achieve fleet defence and the preservation of the front line, even when deployed in small numbers, the VF-25E is likely to be selected as the model that is delivered first when the fleet's carrier air wing plans to gradually introduce the VF-25. As the Armour Pack is assumed to basically not be operated within an atmosphere, there are no examples of it being used by emigrant planets. The head is patterned on the F model, and an additional ROV-127C laser turret is added to the calvaria. Moreover, the VF-25E uses a high-performance data-link system, which has a performance equal to the S model, and is able to do attack control to a wide range of targets (one theory states that with the cooperation of several E models and R models, it's possible to simultaneously control attacks to more than 300 individual targets). The E models basic stats are unchanged from a VF-25A/C/S that's simply equipped with an Armour Pack, as it's a setting that can only be used by increasing the upper limit of the FF-3001A Stage II Thermonuclear Engines output limiter. Below is an image to show you the different heads of the VF-25 with the VF-25E head being the first on the left in the middle row. Edited January 20, 2014 by YF-29 Durandal Quote
s001 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 YF-25 all the way! Easy, just new head and paint job. Kind of weird they haven't made it yet. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Technically the YF-25 is supposed to have a larger rear seat area than the standard VF-25's which means the cockpit, canopy, and top of the nose of the plane should all be remolded as well. Quote
s001 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Oh. You're right. Missed all those details. And it needs that antenna for the gunpod too. Quote
Newtype78 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 There is only one thing that is on my wishlist for Bandai's 2014 line up: A DX Chogokin compatible vajra toy. I know that hero designs are the most popular and so those are the go-to designs that make it to toy form but as great as it is to see all the Macross Frontier designs that make it to the DX Chogokin toyline, I would love to see some vajra in toy form. What good is having a bunch of hero VFs with nothing to oppose on our display shelves? I know the common counter to the notion of making toys of enemy characters, especially ones without speaking roles, is that they won't sell and that the toy manufacturer would lose money. However, making a vajra toy a made to order product would be a win-win scenario. Bandai would not have to risk as much money as they would with a regular release and toy collectors would have the opportunity to purchase something that could make their collection more complete. Now, a proper vajra toy that is in scale with the DX Chogokin VFs would be large and, thus, expensive, but if it was given the same level of design as the Renewal toys, I think it could be worth the price. As much as I look forward to someday having all of the Macross Frontier Skull Squadron in my collection, I would like to display them facing off against a vajra or two instead of flying in formation, which is boring to me. My VFs must fight enemies, not have tea parties in space! Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I still think it would be better/more viable for bandai to do limited articulation figures constructed out of blow-molded vinyl and then priced it around $60~$75. Quote
valid Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 i want an SOC SDF 1 tv series please!!! enough with the super robot... sdf 1 is the real super robot ,. it carry a city for crying out loud Quote
sreichma Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I would be all in for EX-Gear versions of Ozma and Michael. I think they need those two because they were in the animation of the Frontier Series. (Michael's was small and quick, it was when he was floating unconscience in space after Sheryl piloted the 25G from Galia 4) Quote
