1/48 macross plus series

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

I think a Vf-4 is a lot more possible than a biger macross plus toy of any kind.

I think a Vf-4 is a lot more possible than a biger macross plus toy of any kind.

I doubt it. Macross Plus valks have way more product recognition than that.

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

any news on new macross plus stuff ffrom the japanese BBS imode?

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Here's hoping that Yamato uses this forums to test the market, so here's my humble vote for more Macross Plus toys in larger scale. I have all the previuos ones and I'm waiting patienly for the new YF-19... Nothing yet?

By the way: Wher can I see that picture of the new sculpt?

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

picture got taken down but since a lot of japanese fans visit this and put info in their BBS, I am sure that yamato knows that the pic was shown here. SO with that I am sure the japanese fans saw it too and pressure is mounting. So I think maybe in like 1-2 months yuamato wil show us a fully painted sample of some sort. Its about time dont cha think? People know its out thjere so it aint no guarded secret no mo i tell ya. But for those who didnt see it,

1-it didnt have the eva like stature that the fire valk had and the Vf19A sort of had.

2-more in proportion

3-BALLJOINTED HIPS HELL YES!

4-didnt give any indication of swap trasnformation at all.

5-Did it look better than the last yammie YF19? HELL YES IT DID

[Southcross]

3-BALLJOINTED HIPS HELL YES!

ACK!!! That’s fine if its gonna just sit on display, but if you "play" with it a lot the ball will wear and the ball/socket will loose tension/friction making it hard to maintain a standing position. I'm always gonna be skeptical about "ball joints"

If you do get one with ball joints, you MUST use a silicone lubricant on the joint (a fly fishing water sealer like "Fly Float" is ideal, 100% silicone and does not attract dust). You can disbelieve me/scoff me now, in a few years you will find out.

not really....the Vf11B and the 1.48 have ball joints and i dont feel anny looseness....i also play with them a lot,

In case of an emergency, where can I get the "fly float" stuff? Is it better than coating the ball joint with nail polish?

Use "fly float" as a preventative measure. It can be purchased in a fishing supply store, in their Fly fishing department. Now it might go under different names, but it’s used to "water proof" fishing flies. Only use Fingernail polish as a last resort (after its worn out), the problem with fingernail polish is that is chips and eventually will bring you back to the problem at hand.

not really....the Vf11B and the 1.48 have ball joints and i dont feel anny looseness....i also play with them a lot,

My question is how long have you been playing with it (LMAO, sorry it just sounds funny the way it reads ). I'm not saying that they wear out in a year or two, I'm talking 5, 10, 15 years. I don't know about you, but I want mine to stay display perfect. Bear any acts of god, in which case I am fully willing and capable of suing said god for restitution

Now I know plastics have come a long way over the last decade but I too have had toys with ball joints, crap-crap-crappiest ones. I feel that if I cough up $100+ for a Yamamoto, I'd like it to stay "like new".

Thanks fo the tip Southcross. Do you know other than "fly float" that can be used as a preventive measure?

There are tons of manufacturers, I only know of the one product name: "Fly Float"

Its 100% silicon and has the consistency of Crisco.

Don't use petroleum products as it can melt or soften plastics, clump, and attract dust.

Oh BTW, you only need a little and just work it into the joint. Too much and you'll be wiping it off every time you play with it (LMAO, sorry still sounds says bad every time I proof read it).

Also don't use any of the "thin" silicon lubes, doesn't "stay" where you put it.

i play with it a lot. The only yammies with loose hips to my knowledge are the 1/60 series an the YF21. the 1/48 and VF11B are good cases with good joints...

[Angel's Fury]

...the 1/48 and VF11B are good cases with good joints...

Do you think that is what they used for the redsigned YF-19? Were there any hip joint problems with the previous versions?

Do you have any pics to substantiate this? If you were warned by the.........not to reveal it, then I understand.

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

I didnt save the pics. The original YF19s that yamato made never had ball joints The only macross plus toys with ball joints are the YF21 and the VF11B, THe YF19s had standard rotation joints. So ball joints are always good things aesthetically.

Oh that's too bad! Do you know where I can those pics?

[Anubis]

Just don't actually post the image, otherwise this thread will have to be deleted too. Copyrite issue still.

[sil80jdm]

IF anybody has a pic of the yf 19 fastpack could you throw it my way too, thanks guys!

Marc

[FlyingPika]

i am also dying too see it, i been holding off all these yrs for it, email me please please ^^

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

Ya know I would just wait for it to come out. Yamato knows it got leaked and a lot of fans saw it...SO I think in a notehr month or 2 we will see pictures.

[Nani?!]

If any one has a pic of an earlier build of the YF 19 FP, feel free to email me.

[Nani?!]

Every month or two or so someone says this.

Those words my friend, no longer have any merit here.

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

not really. think about it. LAst time graham spoke of it the Yf19FP was almost done with its REVISION that prevented it form being released in july. HIs post was like in december. I dont think its too far off.

[DrClay]

Yamato is waiting for the 20th anniversary of Macross plus to release preview pics.
