Rogueload Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 That xigfrid ghost x-9 looks awesome!! Too bad I came late to the party on it. Maybe one day someone will sell their copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa that thing is huge! Is that 1/60 scale? For some reason I always thought the X-9 was smaller, like Luca's Ghosts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhary Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The X9 has almost the same size of the VF-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) Xigfrid did his homework on the scale with the help of others from this site I believe, so I gotta go with yeh, it's that big. Here's a pic with the Arcadia 19 and the Yamato 21. If Bandai did a YF-21 new from the ground up in DX, I'd most likely bite!

sh9000 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I’d buy a DX VF-11B and X-9 Ghost as well. I’d also buy a HMR YF-21, YF-19, VF-11B, and X-9 Ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shizuka the Cat Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Wow, I am surprised that ghost is as large as it is, in comparison to the valkyrie. I would have imagined the ghost to be significantly smaller... especially since it does not need to accommodate a pilot, both in terms of cockpit space and the G-force design considerations of having a person on-board. While it could be argued that the pilot-related space in the Ghost is replaced with AI-computing, I would actually argue that the ghost's on-board computer is not that large, since we have seen from Macross Plus that the Ghost is networked, and from Macross Frontier that jamming can disable Ghosts, which could imply that much of the AI's computing might actually be hosted separately and the Ghost's internal computer may be just a small terminal or node. More armor maybe? Bigger engines? More numerous or larger maneuvering thrusters? I really wonder now why the Ghost is so big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the engines taking up most of the space to generate power for the lasers and thrust. Might be a early generation design thing (Pre Mac Zero). The QF-3000 was pretty large too I believe.

Shizuka the Cat Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I sort of wish Bandai would do a 1/60 scale version of the Hi-Metal R valkyries entitled "Hi-Metal Large". An exact scale up of their HMR counterparts, but with integrated landing gear, better hard points on the wing, cockpits canopies that open up, and integrated heat shield. I wonder which would be considered the better toy... the Arcadia/Yamato v2 valkyrie, or the proposed Hi-Metal Large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will vote for your proposed Hi-Metal Large concept if Bandai will add an ab crunch and more shoulder joint articulation. So I can display it like this.

seti88 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) that might be the aim for bandai's new vf-1 dx. Improved articulation. i mean how many more ways can you improve on it... Edited May 3, 2018 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder which would be considered the better toy... the Arcadia/Yamato v2 valkyrie, or the proposed Hi-Metal Large. They are prob going to skip 1/60 and go right to 1/48 for maximum win. I was hoping it would get released this year but my wallet has already taken such a beating hehe Edited May 3, 2018 by spacemanoeuvres wrods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Still the same wish for bandai in terms of the dx line 1) YF-21/VF-22 2) VF-11B/C 3) VF-2SS/VF-2JA 4) M7 VF-19 A/S 5) M7 VF-17 D/S Last but not least please reissue the YF-30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Well, as long as we're reaching for the stars.. My DX wishlist: 1) Vf-4 (FB) 2) VF-2SS 3) VF-9 (Delta) 4) VF-14 (M+) 5) VF-1 (in the styling of the Tamashii Nation 1/35) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardlyNever Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Might be a little a early for this but may as well start the speculation now: http://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_comic-con/ This is obviously comic-focused, but is there a chance we see anything Macross? More HMR news? DX VF-1J? Armor parts for VF-31S? Anything? Nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yea I have been trying to find out if this is going to be a pure comic franchise event or something else. Maybe someone will be able to work out the event map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardlyNever Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 http://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_comic-con/exhibition.html It says "and more," but what that could be is anyone's guess. Macross obviously isn't big enough to get its own Tamashii Nations event, but shoe-horning it into this comic-focused event might not happen. I'll expect nothing, and if we get anything Macross related, I'll be pleasantly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 kinda doubt there would be macross related news at this TN event. The release schedule for macross from bandai is kinda packed already for the remaining half of the year. If any news, am expecting the next HMR announcement or perhaps a p-bandai super parts for the 31A. That being said am not sure where bandai can slot in a HMR macross release after the ostrich in between all the DX releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 we knew abt the 31f from mag scans b4 the event. so technically, not only nothing new, but practically nothing macross related from the event itself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
