azrael Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Old thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26580 Last post: Hoho... i totally missed this page thanks for the info. yeap by size it's nearly as big as the yf-21 n yf-19.. though a little short.
505thAirborne Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Wow, the old thread got that big already? Dam!! I hope I'll have enough spare cash to get this one, truly on of my favorites!! Although from the pics I've seen, maybe its just me, but Isamu looks awfully big in the cockpit, what I mean is the figure seems like hes rubbing on the cockpit. Are there and better pics to show a better view? Edited March 4, 2009 by 505thAirborne
MacrossJunkie Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Even in the 1/60 YF-19, it's a very cramped fit also and they had to remove part of the feet to get him to fit. I think the 1/60 Macross Plus pilots seem to be proportionally bulkier overall compared to the other pilots they've made. Though I guess Guld is excused since his flight suit was kinda bulky to begin with, especially his BDI helmet. Comparing them to the Macross Zero pilots, the helmet, arms and legs on Isamu are way thicker. Isamu seems to have gained a lot of weight when he scaled up to 1/60 from 1/72 And here's the better view of the cockpit taken from Yamato's site. Edit: Attached the close up of the VF-11b escape pod. Edited March 4, 2009 by MacrossJunkie

arrow Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 They should just get back to using hard plastic for the pilots like the original 1/48. so that they are forced to scale the cockpit properly or the pilot will not slide in.
MacrossJunkie Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 The cockpits seem fine in size, as they seem pretty much in proportion with the rest of the plane. It's just that the pilots are sometimes too big or wide.

edwin3060 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Cool thanks for the pics!!! So I'm not the only one who thinks Isamu needs to lay of the Ben & Jerry's Ice cream!!! It's the Hippocow soft serve ice cream that he needs to lay off
Spiff Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Nice! So when are they anouncing the full armor version?
David Hingtgen Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Heatshield's kinda like I thought it'd have to be, didn't think of the Z-fold hinge though. Interesting. Still haven't seen any pics of the back of battroid mode. (the one we've seen has the boosters on it, which hide what I want to see)
Scream Man Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Very impressive work on the HS. Depending on how easy it is to get in and outm, that could be the most ingenious yet
505thAirborne Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Very clever heat shield design, and the Gun pod is great with removable cover and exposed magazine!! I am getting this one!!
miriya Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 This is looking great. I just hope that the paint does not get scrapped off of the heatshield in that situation. Hopefully that piece will be moulded in orange plastic.
sidearmsalpha Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 A Full Armor Version would be so sweet, but I would settle for a GN-U type figure of that for now.
505thAirborne Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 This is looking great. I just hope that the paint does not get scrapped off of the heatshield in that situation. Hopefully that piece will be moulded in orange plastic. Hopefully Yamato made sure there was enough clearance space to avoid that possible situation!!
Renato Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Thanks for the pics! The one with the text on white background confirms that the red and white UN symbols are a mistake on the sample, so the real blue/grey symbols should be in place of those in the actual product! Yes!

OMG! Thank you very much Graham! Also much thanks to the person who first looked at the Macross symbol and thought-- thats weird. I certainly didn't detect it until it was pointed out here. Gerwalk mode looks awesome. Edited March 7, 2009 by edwin3060
Ghostkiller Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 This is looking great. I just hope that the paint does not get scrapped off of the heatshield in that situation. Hopefully that piece will be moulded in orange plastic. Hello Miriya Yamato is going to use colored plastic it does not look like a painted heat shield
Ghostkiller Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Gerwalk mode is my favorite Also : do you guys realize that it is the only walk that can have the heat shield on all the time fighter mode entering atmosphere with Isamu not burned WHAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
505thAirborne Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 The VF-11B, its a thing of beauty!!! Can't wait to get one!!
chanti09 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 overall the valk is awesome.... but i dont get the detachable cockpit..why?
Renato Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 overall the valk is awesome.... but i dont get the detachable cockpit..why? Macross Seven.
sharky Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 overall the valk is awesome.... but i dont get the detachable cockpit..why? It's serves as an escape pod if you need to eject.
David Hingtgen Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 And presumably saved hundreds (or even thousands, depending on how often they reused that same exploding VF-11 footage) of M7 pilot's lives.
Uxi Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I've always preferred the VF-11C, but this is looking very very nice. I'm thinking I'll get 2.
Radd Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 I am going to buy this so HARD. "So hard there will be a CRATER and I'll have to buy it TWICE!"
badboy00z Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 This could be my 1st Yamato toy/ valk. Not too crazy about the color scheme though. I would prefer the Jamming Birds color scheme of gray and blue or a stealth/ low vis.
Radd Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Ja, I was never a huge fan of the plain Macross Plus colour scheme. Or the Mac7 CF colours. A Jamming Birds variant would be extra awesome, but there's that licensing issue. It won't happen. I'd love a VF-X2 version, though.
Slammer Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 This could be my 1st Yamato toy/ valk. Not too crazy about the color scheme though. I would prefer the Jamming Birds color scheme of gray and blue or a stealth/ low vis. making a low viz 11 is easy, just repaint the orange parts a diferent shade of gray.
badboy00z Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 So is the top part of the HS stored in the hollow section after the canards?
Temjin Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Can you see the mecha face in Gerwalk mode? edit nvm, found the answer. Edited March 9, 2009 by Temjin
