Black Valkyrie Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Wow, now we need the VF-1D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miriya Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I totally agree. I really want the VF-1D. I do not have one in any form in any mode and I have been wanting one for ages. The toynami one did not look so great to me although I have not seen it in person. The arii one was not detailed enough. I do like the yamato 1/60 a bit but I want it in Battroid mode and the 1/60s in batt mode are not my favorite (though if I can justify the funds I may get one at some point). What I really wanted was a VF-1D 1/48 but Yamato is not going to make the VF-1D in 1/48 (says Graham with certainty - over and over again). And since the small but beautiful Revoltech figures are nice and detailed and go into any pose really well, then hopefully this will be the vf-1d that will make me happy! SO MAKE IT PLEASE KAIYODO!!!! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I trapped myself... If they make a 1D... i will NEED a 1S. *re-create Roy's Valk school lessons* bloody hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 They better all come with Fast Packs. Unless one of them comes with GBP armour. If they did a GBP VF-1 then it would probably be a brand new figure from the ground up. Just like what they did with the Type F Eva-01.

miriya Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) I agree, the GBP version would probably have armor attached and not removable. It would be very cool and I would guess that they will do such a release if the first ones are successful enough.

Mr March Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Some of the later Valkyries would look simply amazing as Kaiyodo figures. Looking at many of the other franchise lines they've featured as Revoltech figures, the YF-19 and YF-21 would look so amazing in some of the poses possible. With all those angles and sharp edges it would look so dramatic and dynamic on display. Even some of the mecha designs that aren't as good structurally can be articulated into some amazing visual displays, like the Patlabor Griffon for example: Dramatic pose! I'd love to pose a YF-19 Revoltech into some of the shots from Macross Plus, like the movie sequences where the battroid is diving towards New Edwards Center or the infamous flying kick!

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Guys will Organic distribute these in the US, or do we have to get them via import by specialty stores like for Prime/Megatron? If thats the case, I'll pick mine up at a con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Meh. Looks like a big gashapon to me. Although if they made a GBP version I might pick one up, a GBP equipped Valk is not meant to transfom anyway, so I wont feel I bought a Valk that cannot transform , besides it would look cool suspended on the stand with all the missile hatches open.

sidearmsalpha Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 That's pretty cool! How'd you get that 1/48 to attach to that Yamato stand in Battroid though? Man, I wish Yamato would make it a standard to pack all 1/48's with those side covers and fixed-pose DYRL hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpaint22 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Great pic Mowe looks really cool. I never realised how much the side covers make a differece to the overall look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Thanks. The Yamato stand actually does not allow Battroid display but if you just let the bottom edge of the back pack simply sits on to the top connector, the VF-1S will just balance it self. See pic here.

UN Spacy Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Is all of the weight on the backpack? Seems dangerous. Nice pics btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) I was worry about that too, but it seems to be OK, nothing is bending. You can use your finger to try it first (let the valk sit on your figer tip), you will see what I mean. Also, you can rest the long foot on the floor to reduce pressure.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Brilliant pose Mowe!!! That's something i haven't thought of. Of course, that pose was really Hik's patened pose just before he goes off to assasinate boldozabighead. I shall be trying that with my 1/48 tonight!!!! Cheers for the inspiration.

Hikaru's VF-1S Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 btw, how big are these figures? im interested in getting into revoltech... be kind of cool if they made the macross II valkyire, they had some cool poses and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 All the other Revoltech figures, from Transformers, to Evangelions, to Patlabors are listed as 19.0-19.2 cm in height. There's no reason to assume the VF-1J and VF-1S Valkyries wouldn't be the same scale. At that size, they'd be about as big as a tall glass or roughly from the top of your index finger to just below your wrist. A little over half as tall as the VF-1 1/48 scale from Yamato.

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 So any news on if they will plan for more Revoltechs beyond the Vf-1 which is a transformable mecha that gets deformed as a result of being a figure-only? One of the reasons I enter this thread isn't necessarily to check for more pics of VF-1 but in the hope that there is some news on non-transforming mechas like the destroids and zentradi power armor getting done up as revoltechs (hopefully not too much deformity in the sculpt) One thing about these figures is they can bring out the toughness of the mecha more than a transforming one can. So big hands are allowed, shortened nose cones make sense, and all kinds of humanoid flowing motions can be achieved that you always see in anime but know wouldn't be realistic. (something that cg anime has problems with since the models are stuck to their strict shapes: no oversized ham fist or short nose cone when in robot mode for example) Transforming toys with accurate sculpt that look good in all modes still have to sacrifice something (hands looking too delicate for example) which may affect the look of it in a different mode to try to be realistic. (no space in the sleeve to store a giant hand when the thing has to transform) For me non-transforming znetradi mecha is where I'm interested in more than the vf-1 since these don't need to make as much sacrifice. Take the Qrau for eg: The claws, the bulbous body, and the limbs can still be the same basic shape and size relative to everything else without people saying "it isn't taking on a realistic shape." They should have started with destroids and powered armor first imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfPuppets Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Unfortunately, I don't think any of the Zentraedi mecha is iconic enough or would sell well enough to warrant Revoltech releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowe Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I got them from Eternal D and here is his original thread but not sure if he is in production mode. Sent him a PM or leave a post on the thread if you are interested in. I need two more sets myself. if he has enough interest, he might start production again. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...mp;#entry513436 Where would one aquire these so called Eternal D hands for display puposes?
