PLAMAX 1/72 VF-1 Valkyrie

I checked Yodobashi-Shinjuku on Wednesday and Nakano Mandrake yesterday hoping to see the VF-1J fighter on the shelves, but no luck. They may still be processing shipments. Left Japan today, so I’ll have to order it online.

Oh yeah! That is some great box art. Nice idea to remake the intro scene.

Right? Imagine if they used that kind of art to completely redo the opening into for SDFM?

Just the opening? I would love it if they redid all of the animation for the entire first series. Keep the vocals/soundtrack, but redo the aged look to it.

Yeah, they could digitally clean those up and even use AI (with permission of course) to rework some wonky dialogue.

Apparently, no one  aboard the Macross  ever heard of "washing your plane"....

Nah, the dude just kept getting shot down or crashing and the crew just had time to do the minimum to keep up with him

Vermillion Squadron box art released. 

I can’t say that’s the most inspiring or exciting artwork I’ve seen lately…

Looking forward to a couple of these kits though.

Very different from the movie version box artworks. I wonder if these TV edition boxes are meant to evoke a retro feeling?

I dunno ... these pictures look super toy like. Not sure if I wanna buy one. I have two plamax VF-1 fighters already.

It will probably look a lot better with some paint and weathering

Exactly what i was thinking.

Maybe it's the colors or something, but I do feel like it's very toy-ish compared to hasegawas.

I think it’s the lack of riveting, but also the lack of any weathering. It will definitely look better with a bit more attention
