Larger Scale VF-0

[Valk-1S]

Hi all,

This is my first poll. I decided to make one up as some of us are hoping for a 1/48 scale VF-0 and some of us just find that won't happened due to it's size.

Actually I was thinking of a poll more in the lines of what scale you think Yamato will release, but decided to stick to this.

Hope I set the poll up correctly.

[NERV]

not another poll! i picked null vote because i dont care about the scale as long as its well detailed but i also dont care if it perfect transformation or not

[miks]

the bigger the better

[Angel's Fury]

Ideally, I would like it in a bigger scale that's well detailed.

Let's just wait & see for the pics, if they're comin'. (crosses the fingers & toes)

The VF-0 is actually significantly longer than the VF-1 as this picture of the Hasegawa 1/72 scale kits from the March 2004 issue of Hobby Japan magazine shows.

According to the magazine article, the Hasegawa VF-1 is 19.8cm long, whereas the VF-0S is 27.1cm long.

So, if you pretend that the VF-1 in the photo below is a 1/48, you can imagine that a 1/48 VF-0 toy would take up a lot of shelf space!

Yeah, the 1/100 VF-0 is gonna be a little smaller than the 1/60 VF-1's are already.

I don't mind that.

For a bigger scale though, I think 1/72 would be nice. 1/48 would be just way too big. And we know Yamato is ditching the 1/60's after the Monster and Q-Rau.

Both the 1/72 and 1/60 should be about right.

WOW! That's one big toy!

Bigger scale: 1/72 (I'd say that would be just about right.)

I didn't know that they were goin' to ditch the 1/60's after the Monster and Q-Rau! Thanks for the 411.

Great picture Graham! Since there was no 1-1 option, I choose 1/60. I like this as a "Masterpiece scale" as it will match the scale of a large chunk of my Yammies...and end up being close to the size of a 1/48. 1/72 would also be a nice option.

[newca]

I'm stick with 1/48, 1/72 even 1/100, those scale are common in modern military jet models. since it'll be so huge(and very expensive for sure) in 48 scale, I definately vote 72!

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

graham that would ROCK in 1/48 scale. Definitely not the suck! however i am primarily perfect trasnfromation so as long as its big and can transform with no swapping than thats cool with me.

So........where's the problem??

I guess myself and Blaine23 are the only ones who like big ass toys.

I for one would love to see one in 1/48, but 1/60 will do too.

actually no dude i have beebn presistently wanting that damn thing in 1;/48 but it turns out we are in the minority...mostly evertyoine is scared this thing will be too big or something. Hell even if it was i dont imagine it being over 200$...i am thinking more lke 150$

Kewl, another giant toy lover.

I just want them to do all the valks in the same scale, whatever it is. I would like to be able to display valks from all three of the good series next to each other in battroid mode in the same scale.

Is that too much to ask?

I guess so, because chances are, we'll never see a Mac Plus valk in anything but 1/72, and I am sorry, but they all look too stubby to me in 1/72. The scale just isn't big enough to put in any detail. That's how you wind up with the chewing gum left on the bedstand overnight Guld pilot fig, and the fact that they have no internal cockpit detail at all.

And if the VF-0 is so freaking huge, the largest they will probably go will be 1/72, or perhaps 1/60, but hey, this is Yamato, they'll probably pull one off in a completely different scale!, who knows.

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

hell they migh even make one in 1.55 scale to piss bandai off. NOw that i think about that, that would be pretty cool. Stand alone V f-0 big enough for people lke me mechamaniac and blaine, and at the same time can fit in with chunky monkeys!

it would also be awesome if bandai contered by making a VF-0 in 1/48 scale.,

let the competition begin!

[Ignacio Ocamica]

1/60 will do for me (to display with all of my 1/60´s). I´d also buy a 1/48 version.

[Sumdumgai]

1/48 scale, regardless of what everyone says about size and about cost. I know that it would be big, but I honestly don't care. I don't mind dishing out a lot of money for something big, detailed and cool, and also being in the same scale as my nice VF-1 Low Vis.

[Caufield]

1/48 please! If it's to be made, make it big and detailed.

[Sturmvogel]

Count me in for 1/48. The bigger the better!

[Mr March]

I prefer the 1/72 scale. As much as I love the 1/48, it's big and anything bigger would be way too big. Although I'm not a collector of Gundam or a big fan by any stretch of the imagination, I prefer the sizes of the Master Grade models. Just big enough, but not too small.

I'm glad the VF-0 is going to be in a more compact scale. A 1/48 of the VF-0 would be ridiculous.

[007-vf1]

the bigger the better

Yes, and then we realize is too big for shelf space and then every one goes:

" there's no way I'll pay that much for a toy that size", bla, bla bla....

[Dangard Ace]

[insert diety] Too many polls. I'm re-instating the two polls per page rule after this one. Any others will be automatically deleted.

As for size, the vf-0 is about the same length as the Mac+ planes, which translates roughly into twice as big as a vf-1(in Battroid if that CGI in the 20th Ann. DVD is correct). If they ever do make it (VF-0)bigger I'd prefer the 1/72 or 1/60 scale. Don't like the designs enough to fork over for 1/48 scale but until then the 1/100 scale will do me just fine.

I still want my Monster coffee table....

[buddhafabio]

i am just happy they are making one. i plan to get at least 2 Roys and Shins. and i am sure my bro will get one

[Blaine23]

1/60 would be fine for me... I don't really care about relative scale, I just like my toys about 11"- 14" inches tall. They're just more fun to me.

[Dampiel]

I'm glad the VF-0 is going to be in a more compact scale. A 1/48 of the VF-0 would be ridiculous.

And the 1/60 Monster or the Queadluun-Rau aren’t???

Why is it that everyone loves the idea of those two but the moment someone mentions a 1/48 VF-0 or YF-19 or some other large valk it’s oh no that would be too big I mean seriously a VF-0 is not that much bigger it’s about the same size as a F-14 and companies make plenty of 1/48 scale versions of those.

Btw Mr. March i'm not trying to pick on you. You just happend to sum up what the anti 1/48 VF-0 people almost always say.

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

yea really guys COME ON! It probably wouldnt cost as much as you think! The transformation is relatively similar to the VF-1 and the internal heatshield is not internal on this one its merely slides down with the chest! Not to meniton at 1/48 scale do you know how much detail yamato would cram into the damn thing>? I know i said before im down with anytyhing perfect transformable but i think at 1/48 its the cream of the crop and i see nothing wrong with it. Watch i bet if it comes out we will all stop bitching nad unify in drooling. Not to mention i mean come on i think at most itll be 17000 yen.

Or, maybe a nearly foot and a half long toy that costs as much as my monthy rent is a little excessive....

Not all of us are made of money or have GOBS of space alotted to toys.

And for the last time, the 1/60 MONSTER is NOT being produced! It was shelved for retooling/scuplting DUE to its perilous size!!

[GRAND CANNON]

I gotta go with 1/60 to comply with my 1/60 obsession. (due to cash flow ) Heck I only have 3 anyway!

This would also statisfy the 1/48 lovers with the "don't care about the scale - like the height" issue.

I'm also disappointed at the notion of discontinuing the 1/60 line (wherever this was derived from). That would stink for the possibility of common scale enemies and/or destroids and non-VF-1 valks.

BUT,

if they can settle on 1/100 detailed versions of whatever they want, this may not be a bad thing......especially for my budget!!

er.........umm..............I mean "my wife's"...............well, you know what I mean.............

[JValk]

i can imagine them releasing a 1/48 vf-0 only if it is done jumbo-machinder style - go giant shampoo bottle! huge and inexpensive!

Greenguy where did you hear that about the monster?

[hellohikaru]

hmmm....all the 1/60 valks look weird to me due to some production limitations so i guess 1/48 would give a more accurate looking valk. Besides the VF-0 is not much BIGGER than the VF-1 like some people put it.

[GreenGuy42]

It's been in various topics for a while.... Do a search. I'm too lazy to find anything at THIS moment.. lol...

..pretty sure Graham said something...

[Vostok 7]

For a bigger scale though, I think 1/72 would be nice. 1/48 would be just way too big. And we know Yamato is ditching the 1/60's after the Monster and Q-Rau.

BTW, this IS true last I heard... Graham said about 6mo. ago that after the VT-1, VE-1, Monster and one other 1/60 (which we now know is the Q-Rau), the 1/60 line was dead. I know this because when we first supposed/asked that a 1/60 M0 line was in the works, Graham said that there wouldn't be any 1/60 M0 toys.

Frankly, I'll be suprised if the VF-0 is made in 1/60. More than likely we'll see a 1/72 version. POSSIBLY a 1/48 but I wouldn't bet on it just yet.

Sorry all you 1/60 lovers (which is suprising since everyone chants 1/48 around here) but it looks like 1/72 is gonna be the way. Besides, a 1/72 VF-0 is already going to be as big or slightly bigger than a 1/60 VF-1.

ya that 1/72 VF-0 hasegawa./...i remember when graham showed the comparison scan from hobby japan...thas be a big bastadd. AWESOME. Hey 1/72 or 1/48 hell 1/55..as long as its perfect trassncformable and big kick ass!
