xMaDxPeNgUiNx Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I happen to watch the entire series of Macross 7 this past weekend and thought that it would be cool to have Milia's red VF-21 in my collection. Has anyone made a custom of it? Imagine having Max and Milia's VF-21s side by side in your collections... *sigh* Quote
Graham Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Wow, you watched the entire Macross 7 TV series in one weekend? That is hardcore! Anyway, in Macross 7, Max and Miria fly the VF-22S (the production version of the YF-21). And yes, I agree it would make a cool toy. Graham Quote
xMaDxPeNgUiNx Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 Oops... Had to hold my eyes open long enough to remember that. Thanks Graham... VF-22s then... Would like to see them!!! Quote
Wicked Ace Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Milia's red VF-21. Has anyone made a custom of it? You might try searching the model forum. The Yamato toy would definitely be challenging, due to the die cast in the legs. Getting paint to stick (after removing the original) will require metal priming and lots of sealant/protectant coats to survive transformation, since there's lots of rubbing the way Yamato designed the toy. However, I'm sure somebody here has the talent to pull it off, no question. Quote

Has anyone made a custom of it? Imagine having Max and Milia's VF-21s side by side in your collections... *sigh* Shouldn't be too hard since its almost quite similar to the YF-21, but of course we'd prefer if they redesigned it abit to fix some of the problems with the YF-21. Colors for VF-22s include M&M red and blue, and dark blue for Gamlin's in Dynamite. Quote
Stamen0083 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 I wonder if Millia has more sense than Max and decide to fly the YF-19 instead. Quote
trueblueeyes Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Meh, the VF-22S is nice enough I suppose. But if we get another "Milia Red" paint scheme I'd prefer it be on a perfect transformation VF-17 from Yamato! (Can't forget Diamond Force too!) Not like that is going to happen though...Damn you Bandai! Quote

The VF-22's were also a perfect fit for Max and Millia with it's Q-rau attributes. Matching 22's of them would be sweet indeed. Edited March 17, 2004 by Anubis Quote
tetsujin Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Wow, you watched the entire Macross 7 TV series in one weekend? That is hardcore! Yah, I imagine if I did that I'd be staggering around, mumbling "ore no uta o kike... ore no uta o kike..." like some kind of spiritia drain victim. Quote
Powered Convoy Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 That would be really cool to get a Millia and Max VF-22S! Not that I need more to buy (just plopped $320 for the 1/48 M&M VF-1Js). I nearly cried though when Gamlin ruined Millia's 35 year old VF-1J!!! Now Millia knew how to fly that "relic" in that anime. Randy Quote

Randy I'm still surprized she let him live. She had it for all those years, Mylene piloted it without incident, then he wrecks it. At least she appropriated a VF-17 in compensation. Quote

Had to take a break from work for a while for that one!! LOL!!! Quote
Hoptimus Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Man all of the YF-21/VF-22 fans have asked for this for years now. I dont think we will ever get them. Which may be a good thing because that means less money I put out of my pocket into Yamatos. lol. Quote
Skull Leader Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Note that the head unit and the canopies are different on the 22-production variant than they were on the YF-21. Hasegawa makes a VF-22 kit, doesn't it? or was that one a YF-kit also? (although fighter mode would be easier to convert anyway) Quote
Blaine23 Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 Wasn't there a pic of a Bandai VF-22 Millia version floating around? I believe it was from a toy show or an ad... then it never got made. I don't think it was a custom, because I've seen plenty of those. Quote

I believe it was from a toy show or an ad... then it never got made.I don't think it was a custom, because I've seen plenty of those. Nope, Bandai have never made a VF-22 toy in any color. There are however pics of a prototype Bandai 1/65 scale VF-17S toy in Milia colors as well as a VF-19F toy that never made it into production. These prototypes were displayed at a Japanese toy show back in 1995. You can find these pics in the August 1995 issue of B-Club magazine. Graham Quote

I was wondering where that pic was - I kept looking in the Unreleased section. Thanks for the clarification, G-money. Quote
Anubis Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 (edited) THEY WERE GOING TO RELEASE THE VF-19F TOO??!!! Dammit Bandai. Why Why Why. I could have made Emerald AND Diamond Force. If they would at least reissue the VF-17D and the -19S which already saw release I would be happy. A Diamond force would be so nice to have. Edited March 18, 2004 by Anubis Quote

(although fighter mode would be easier to convert anyway) Not just the head and canopy are different on the VF-22, the panels that cover the legs in fighter mode are also different as well. And yes, Hasegawa have released both Macross Plus YF-21 and Macross 7 VF-22 models. Hasegawa VF-22S Hasegawa YF-21 Graham Quote
Uxi Posted March 18, 2004 Posted March 18, 2004 I would totally buy a Yamato VF-22S of any type. IT's all ready too, since they already sculpted the different canopy and face! VF-X, M7 (Max and Miria), M7D Gamlin... I'd probably want at least one of each. But then I'm one of the few total fans of the YF-21FP design. Course I got a ringer or something... I don't have any of the problems most of you seem to have with em. But even so I woudln't MIND if they ratcheded the hips and made the FP panels a bit thinner with folding landing gear (there's more room here than in the regular leg covers, Yamato!). Quote
lipkun Posted March 25, 2004 Posted March 25, 2004 lol yes all the mac7 stuff is a must damn bandai has to take off the gundam blindfold and rerelease the mac7 toys. They could make the protodevilins and id buy it lol anything M&M would be great. As usual. Quote
