More about the color scheme than the character. 😅 Kakizaki was a fun goofball, though. I appreciate the breath of levity he brought to the series. That is a sick paint job! Wish I had the skills.

Truly! Even Yahoo.jp auctions go for a hella markup. I was beginning to think that I would never get one. Now my little Kakizaki corner is looking great!

Finally got one of my holy grails thanks to @Chokinzoku81!! It's so amazing!

This whole thing is ridiculously cool!

Hands down the best VF-1 toy ever. Wish they'd do a 1/60 scale. These DX are some big toys!

Got my copy recently too. It is SO nice to finally have this in HD. Love this movie so much! Congrats on your buy!

Dude! Where on earth did you find these!?

😄 Where were you a week ago when I got this one!?

An oldie, but new to me. My first YF-19. 😍

For the premium finish with SSP, the Roy version is going for about $200 on bababobo00712 toy store and in that neighborhood on eBay as well. Hikaru is going for more. I was impressed with what I'd gotten. Too bad it was the wrong character. 😅

It's not like I've got the market cornered or anything. Just observing that I've only shared the art with about 4 people and now it's being sold for profit. Shame, cause I'd just give it away. The point was to share with fellow fans. No skin off my back, I've got an original.

I'll save you some time. As you can probably tell from the first post, I vectorized most of the elements in the marquee already. They'll need some work if you're going for perfect re-creations. The half-tones are a PITA. I'll reach out to you when I get back in front of my computer. If you're just looking to reprint and sell on eBay like some of the others I've shared with, the high res scan is probably good enough.

Hey! Welcome to the group. I think we're going to be meeting up again pretty soon here.

Hell yeah, we had a great time!

Sounds good. See you then! I'll DM my number so we can coordinate.

Alright, so tomorrow or Sunday? Millennium Fandom Bar. What time are we getting together?

We still planning on this weekend? I know we're masking up again cause $#!+ is getting bad here, so I wouldn't blame anyone if they wanted to take this outside or postpone it. Just let me know.

Absolutely 😁

Sounds good. We'll be there.

Sounds good. If we make it a weekend day, I'll have my buddy come with me. He's another Macross fan.

Yeah, I'm feeling like I can give this a go. I did an outdoor work outing last weekend and it was nice to see people. Let's try and make something happen.

@RHunterVF1SI PM'ed you an imgur link to a high-res scan of the Marquee. It's the only part of the arcade I've got.

Got my first shot. One to go!

Kakizaki. He's the Baloo of Macross. Big, fun-loving, and laid back. Liked to give his buddies crap. That's me all the way.

If you decide to go that route, let me know. I'll happily layout this work to fit your cab.
