Yamato 1:100 Scale Toys

[Macross1111]

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and glad to see that there are others that share my interest. I have a general question. Does anyone know if Yamato is going to produce a 1:100 scale line of toys. I thought that they were going to do this for "OVA Macross Zero". I could be mistaken. Does anyone know if they are going to make a 1:100 VF-0S Fokker Valk? If so what will it be made out of metal or plastic? When will it be released? Finally how much would it cost? Anyone who has answers to these questions please reply.

Thanks Everyone,

Mac11

Yes, Yamato are making a 1/100 scale VF-0S toy. It should be released sometime in June or July (no firm release date has been announced yet).

The retail price will be somewhere around ¥4,000.

The toy will be ABS and PVC, no die-cast metal. It will also require parts-swapping in order to transform as it comes with different noses for Fighter and Battroid modes.

This toy has been discussed in-depth on these forums in several topics and if you do a search on the toy forums you can find more info.

You should be able to find the answers to your questions in this thread: Yamato 1/100 VF-OS. ....You can also find pics of the VF-OS in the convention threads. Hope that helps! And: Welcome to MW!!

I don't see it as that bad at all. For a small, fun toy - I think it rocks.

All of the design compomises made on the 1/100 will just make a bigger one that much better, if they ever make one.

Sure it is noce but not perfect transformation? I dunno if I will buy it. Sounds like a poll. I know I will buy the VB-6... That sucker is just too cool not to have.

The retail price will be somewhere around ¥4,000.

How much is that in dollars?

Does that tailhook move?

This is useful to convert currency: http://finance.yahoo.com/currency?u

Or you can just divide by 100 to get a very rough yen > dollar conversion.

(The actual conversion comes to $35.50. The yen has dropped quite a bit since its March highs.)
