Max1984 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) I just saw these photos, it is a D style transformable SDF-1, and some D-style VF-1 figures are included. As I also saw the pre-order of very similar D-style VF-1 figures (Toymani) on Bigbadtoy store http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TOY10617&mode=retail, maybe this SDF-1 is also from Toymani?

xrentonx Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 That's pretty awesome but I doubt it's anything to do with Toynami. Quote
Max1984 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 That's pretty awesome but I doubt it's anything to do with Toynami. I also doubt Toynami's competence to design it, it looks great from the photos. But the VF-1 figures in the third photo are so similar to Toynami's figures, just coincidence? Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 just coincidence, they're clearly a different sculpt from the toynami SD figures. given the weibo.com water mark I'm guessing it's either a one off custom or a super limited resin kit. That said it's friggin' adorable and I would buy one in a heartbeat if bandai made a toy like that. Quote

Renato Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Seems like the third party craze has spread from Transformers to Macross. Let's wait and see if BW and/or Harmony Gold are as lenient as Hasbro/TakaraTomy. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I doubt there's much HG could manage to do about this, as for BW and/or Bandai, I sincerely hope they don't come down on this like the fist of an angry god, because I'd love to get one. Quote
chyll2 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 wow third party, hopefully it is cheap! SD SDF-1 that transforms! Quote
Mommar Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 It looks good in Attack Mode but that giant melon on the Cruiser looks... wrong. Quote
DarrinG Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I hate D style stuff but these look very well done . . . Quote
VALKYRIE ACE PILOT Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I hope this one appears in market soon to encourage Bandai /Arcadia to produce the stuff we really want !! Quote
charger69 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Arcadia would be pissed off for a SD SDF-1 from a third-party company just before their mini SDF-1 scheduled for this year :rolleyes: Edited June 17, 2014 by charger69 Quote
jvmacross Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Arcadia would be pissed off for a SD SDF-1 from a third-party company just before their mini SDF-1 scheduled for this year :rolleyes: Is the mini sdf-1 still coming out? I'd be interested in the sd sdf-1 if it is a completed toy....or at minimum fully painted kit... But I'll wait and see what the toynami sd sdf-1 looks like...plus it may be a tv version? Quote
chyll2 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 i kinda remember, please set your expectations low. In the Gundam scene, third party model always look great in prototype stage but after release, there are some issues, some is gamebreaking while other is just minor. Quote
Mommar Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Show me some normal proportioned aircraft carriers and we'll talk. Quote
hevangel2 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I want the SD SDF-1!!! Where can I order it? Quote
EXO Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Those aren't Toynami version SD valkyries.. The Toynami SD VF-1's have the shoulders halfway inside the chestplate. Those are Metal Box aren't they? If that is, then that toy is pretty big. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) woah that looks cool. no way is that a toynami design at all...unless they hired somebody new. oh and obviusly i am buying the crap out of that! looks awesome.... Edited June 17, 2014 by Mechapilot77 Quote
eriku Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I don't have many needs in life. Food, oxygen, spending time with my daughter and this. Quote
EXO Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 HG/Toynami has merchandising rights to DYRL. The latest Macross Speaker Podcast talks about that too... http://www.macrossworld.com/6468/macross-speakerpodcast-ep-14-part-1-the-vf-1d-is-on-a-boat/ Quote
Tober Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Those aren't Toynami version SD valkyries.. The Toynami SD VF-1's have the shoulders halfway inside the chestplate. Those are Metal Box aren't they? If that is, then that toy is pretty big. And if that SDF is also Metal Box then they should be Wonderfest exclusives and really expensive... kits. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 And if that SDF is also Metal Box then they should be Wonderfest exclusives and really expensive... kits. its not metal box...its "Third-party brands, "Seizo Society" New product development: Q version MARCOSS SDF-1, gray mold production figure announced.

About September 2014 sale, please continue to focus on the micro-blog." it seems 3P world (ie unlicensed stuff inspired by your favorite franchises...the TF collector world is filled with them now!) is coming to macross! i want this BADLY. love that gigantic head/bridge especially in the space cruiser mode Quote
David Hingtgen Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I doubt there's much HG could manage to do about this, as for BW and/or Bandai, I sincerely hope they don't come down on this like the fist of an angry god, because I'd love to get one. Considering the zillions of utter exact clones of actual Bandai product that seem to thrive (Gunpla, mainly), a derivative work that is wholly their own sculpt seems "safer". How long did Joons valks last, with nothing heard from Bandai AFAIK? KO's are far more infringing than 3rd party. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 as long as it's available and doesn't cost hundreds of dollars, I'll be happy. Quote
jenius Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Joons would have been an issue for harmony gold or matchbox. Quote
Benson13 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I typically pass on this stuff but this looks great. Let's just see the pricetag though first. Quote
Mommar Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I am curious about the price. I'm no SD fan but I do like the proportions of the thing in Attacker Mode. Quote
Twoducks Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Looks really cool but really, no TV version love even by 3P? Quote
Shukenzero Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-225616-1-1.html Is this new or old news? Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 ever so slightly old news, still adorable though. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41248 Quote
