Bandai Spirits SDF-1 TV edition

[Swoosh]

60cm in length!

From Google Translate:

　"In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the airing of "The Super Dimension Fortress Macross", this item, which is currently being planned, is a three-dimensional version of the TV version of SDF-1 Macross. It is said that it has achieved complete transformation from a ship to a strong attack type. Of course, it will be an action figure that can reproduce the impressive scenes in the play, such as the main gun firing and Daedalus attack poses."

[seti88]

Ohhh that would be a centerpiece at that length! 😍

[Knight26]

Looks awesome, can't wait to see it in robot more and how they implement the bridge move.

[nightmareB4macross]

Time to clear off some space. That is really a beautiful piece.

Bummer that it has no landing gear like the Takatoku.

I hope they fix that before actual release.😅

[pengbuzz]

Yeah...NOW they come out with one after I finished mine! O.o

I don't know, may be landing gear was just a toy thing, never saw it in any design art.

It’s a joke.

But I do believe there was an episode where the SDF-1 actually rolled.

[jvmacross]

It's a Macrossmas Miracle!....

....ok....Bandai can make me wait a little more for my HMR Tomahawk and Phalanx now...lol

[MacrossJunkie]

Oh my. This looks really nice. There's a lot of surface detail on it. I'm scared to know what the price will be for a 2ft long SDF-1.

[David Hingtgen]

Bandai will up their game and announce it's already sold out BEFORE they announce the price and date...

::edit::  Also merged threads before either got too big, and merged title.  

[derex3592]

I'll believe this one when I see the PRE-ORDER button and click it..oh wait, it'll be gone in .0000003 seconds, so nevermind.

[Reïvaj]

60cm!!??? What does it tell us about the scale? What's the length of the Arcadia one?

[Swoosh]

Though I am more of a DYRL SDF-1 fan, I really digging this toned down color of the TV Edition!!

[seti88]

The thrusters have a potential for LED lighting with those clear pieces.

Maybe a future direction in lighting toy releases for bandai?

23.5 inch for this one; 40cm (15.74 inch) for the Arcadia Movie version.

 

[sh9000]

Definitely buying 2 of the TV SDF-1.

[Chronocidal]

Woooooooah.  Yes, in for one.

Will probably just accept that I'll be overpaying, because this one won't be coming internationally.  

[Shawn]

Awesome!

and that looks like it opens...

 

And possibly some moveable elevators? Maybe not, but it would be a cool gimmick

[Mog]

Oh frak me!

I would hope it's a little more white instead of greyish-white.

But my goodness!  I'm already itching to panel-line that sumbitch!

EDIT:  Just checked:  no way this sucker is fitting inside a Detolf shelf.

I don't care how much this will cost. I wants it. I must have the precious.

[Mog]

And just because I’m a facetious ass, they better make sure this secures strong and tight and doesn’t tend to look like this:

If it flops or constantly misaligns, I’m gonna scream bloody hell murder.

PO canceled!

(Prepares to be yelled at)  Overall it looks good, very well detailed especially if you wanted to panel line it. My only real gripe with it this is the length of the main guns, needs to be longer IMO, just like the old 80's versions the guns need to be extended. Otherwise looks good, I can't imagine what this will cost though... pending it's actually produced. 

[Shawn]

This looks like you can open the leg and see the little people inside

Hmm.

This will prolly look good alongside together with their previously shown/released 1/35 VF-1J.

oh, wait...

Looking at this pic, it's actually longer than the old Takatoku/Matchbox one:

 

On the custom I did a few years back, you can see where the original main guns ended.  And compared to my custom extension below, Bandai's main guns are just a smidge shorter (and probably accurate to the line-art):

[DewPoint]

So long as this thing hold together better then the Macross Quarter...

Meanwhile, 7 years ago at another Tamashii Nations shock and awe event....

over 60 centimeters (24 inches) long, or at least 1/2000 scale

That'll be in 2024 for the DYRL 40th

 

I wonder if they might consider adding this detail in an early version drawings like the taka has

But will the Takatoku still have one lineart gimmick to rule them all?....

I think we just ripped a neural fold vault across the time and space continuum...
