blackjek Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 U guys think yamato will ever be doing these? Quote
Toonz Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 i'll say yes! it's just a question of TIME... Quote
Valk-1S Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 i'll say yes!it's just a question of TIME... Yup in 20 years time when they re-issue Macross stuff again. But seriously, I do hope to see Yamato make them in the 1/48 soon. It's just that I don't think this will happen for a while as they are probably concentrating on the VF-0 for now. Maybe after that.

UN Spacy Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I always thought the Macross Plus Valkyries (in 1/48 scale) would require more than two hands to transform. Quote
hevangel2 Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Maybe they will do a 1/60 scale first. Quote
Wicked Ace Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 More BIG toy fans! If Yamato does a 1/48 scale Mac + line, where would you put the 1/48 VF-0 if/when it comes out? Quote
Göönk Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 when they release a new model, how many do they build? 1000? 5000? Quote
DrClay Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I don't think they will, but to me tha glass is half empty and OH! DO I WANT ONE!!!!! Quote
Graham Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 1/48 Macross Plus....dream on fanboys Ain't gonna happen, no siree, no way. Graham Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) Heheh.. oh well, that just means we have to make them ourselves... I'll get a 1/48th YF-19 if it kills me... even if I have to manufacture each part myself. K.. all I need is a completely transformable computer model.. and one of those hugely fancy rapid prototyping machines. Heck, I'll be happy if I can get a SOLID 1/48th YF-19. Btw, how many 1/48th's do you think you'd have to cannibalize to get the parts to make the Mac+ Valks? Edited February 3, 2004 by Chronocidal Quote

Southcross Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 What "I" want is a kind of M&M set but for Macross Plus... a Box set with a YF19 and a YF21... Quote
Southcross Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I want 1.2/1 Minmay !1/8 Macross !!! LMAO the 1.2/1 Minmay? inflatable with kung-fu action grip? 1/8 Macross? hmmm that would be over 1100 feet long, hmmm wonder how UPS ships that Quote
vibayo Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I prefer 1/60 better than 1/48,because they are too big to have them all in 1/48,so i'm sticking to 1/60's Quote
blackjek Posted February 3, 2004 Author Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) a 1/48 yf-21 will be about 1.4 times the vf-1 wouldnt it... big toys.... yes... 1/1 minmay with 1000 points of articulation and real skin and flash texture. oh ya not forgetting a wide selection of accesories. each sold separately.. haha.

Mechamaniac Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 1/48 Macross Plus....dream on fanboys Ain't gonna happen, no siree, no way. Graham Really, why not though? I mean, at least give us the VF-11B. It's not much bigger than a VF-1. Fighter mode: Wingspan: 11.2 meters - 36.75 feet Overall length: 15.51 meters - 50.89 feet Overall height: 3.49 meters - 11.45 feet Battroid mode: Overall height: 12.92 meters - 42.4 feet Converted to 1/48 scale Fighter mode: Wingspan: 9.19 inches Overall length: 12.72 inches Overall height: 2.86 inches Battroid mode: Overall height: 10.6 inches. The VF-11B isn't much larger (and actually smaller in battroid mode) than a VF-1, so why not at least make that one. IMHO, that's the best of the Mac Plus valks anyway. Honestly, the 1/48 Y-19 would be great in fighter mode, but given the limitations of the current toy design, the battroid mode would be clunky as hell. I never liked the YF-21 in Battroid either, I guess I just like the Mac Plus valks best in fighter mode all around. Quote
kensei Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 1/48 Macross Plus....dream on fanboys Ain't gonna happen, no siree, no way. Graham Hmm, sounds to me like ye olde Jedi mind trick. Let us rephrase this question: Larger scale Macross Plus toys? But seriously, how about a Ghost? When people think Macross Plus toys they think VF-11, YF-19 and YF-21, how about the ghost? Quote

mechaninac Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) The bigger the better, that's all I have to say. M+ Valks in 1/48 = ... Edited February 3, 2004 by mechaninac Quote
Anubis Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 (edited) No more than 1/60 for anything other than the VF-1 for me. Too big. Shelf space alreadfy too limited. A new VF-11 would be awesome. As for the YF-19 I'll just be happy to have the new 1/72 finally. If anything I'll worry about a bigger scale of that later. Edited February 3, 2004 by Anubis Quote
gnollman Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I would do many unspeakable things for a 1/48 VF-11B.... I think I'd be happy with a 1/72 YF-19, though... if they bumped it up to 1/60, though, I wouldn't complain. Quote
Aegis! Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 Although I normaly vote against 1/48 non-VF-1 valks I have to say a VF-11 and a Ghost would be small enough to be just like the current VF-1 1/48 toys so that wouldn´t be too bad at all. But the YFs...yeah right..I love them to death but they´re just too big for 1/48 IMO (no news there though). Thanks for making that small confirmation. I think we should´ve just listened more carefully when YAmato said the 1/48 line was for collectors and limited ti the Vf-1. Quote
Myersjessee Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 to big...to expensive....and if they ndid everyone would complain that they were to much and not nice enough...nut-uh! Quote

I dun think it's transformable... IMO it shouldn't have any points of articulation compared to the destroids... doubt yamato might produce those. Quote

I dun think it's transformable... IMO it shouldn't have any points of articulation compared to the destroids... doubt yamato might produce those. Well I think your right, but If I understand the explanation for the need of the yf19, yf21, and the Ghost is they were looking for a new surgical stealth strike aircraft. If thats true (my memory sometimes picks out things incorrectly) they really had no need to make the Ghost transformable (who knows that might have been the next "version" they were going to make). They were looking for a "Fold"able stealth strike vehicle for interdiction work. In anycase, I think I would like to see a M&M&M kind of box set... a YF19, YF21, and a Ghost in the same box 1/72 or 1/100 with very fine detail. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 naw they were looking for a Advanced variable fighter(aka air superiority) to replace the VF11. unfortunately the VF19 aint cheap so it slowly replaces it after the supernova contest. The VF17 was intently made for surgical strike Quote
FlyingPika Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 They are comming, have faith brother ^^!! Quote
Nani?! Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 ack... Let's not get too ahead of ourselves... We haven't even seen the new 1/72 YF 19 yet. .................... ehh... rub that... Dreaming never killed anyone. DREAM ON FOLKS! Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 I doubt we will get bigger versions of the line. yamato seems more gung ho on macross zero and the 1/48 Vf-1 series. as a matter of fact, I bet a 1/72 Vf-4 is more possible than a line of bigger macross plus toys. do I want it?course/ Will it happenm? who knows. But even now all we have seen is one small pic of the Yf19Fp sculpt..its been quite a while since the first FP macross plus toy came out and I would think that by now they would have told us something if they were making a big ass version of each. And since we havent heard anything. I think the 19FP will be the last they come out with macross plus for a while./ Quote
Nani?! Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) I think the 19FP will be the last they come out with macross plus for a while. I hope not... I'm kinda hoping yamato is secretly working on it as we speak or at least talking about it. Maybe they started making the new sculpt for the YF 19FP, realized how kick ass it is and decided to give the same justice to the 21 and the 11B. Maybe that's why it's taking so long for Yamato to mention anything... hmm. I guess I'm being wishful. I sure do hope there's a 1/60 Mac + in the works. Maybe even the Ghost (with it's own stand). Ah... how blissful would news of something like that be.... Edited February 5, 2004 by Nani?! Quote
Godzilla Posted February 5, 2004 Posted February 5, 2004 1/48 Macross Plus....dream on fanboys Ain't gonna happen, no siree, no way. Graham Someow I knew he was going to say that. All I want is VF-4 Toy. Any scale at this point. Quote
