ScrambledValkyrie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 That was a good read. Nice to have the inside perspective. Thanks to @nautilus for posting. A large TV SDF-1 would be very tempting. I wonder if they would try to make it in 1/3000 like the Yamato DYRL version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amptor Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Well a few years ago Harmony Gold was suppose to get a contract with Bandai to make some 1/55 but that fell through. We would've had some quality stuff then. They were going to release the 1/55 VF-1D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Weren't they supposedly the 1/55 Origin Valks? There was never a 1/55 VF-1D in the Origin Valk. Only the Super-1A Hikkie and Max, and regular 1J Hikaru and 1S Focker were released in the Origin line in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big West stopped those releases, according to this article: http://www.collectiondx.com/article/nytf09_toynami_bandai_tamashii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That toynami/tamshii partnership, did that ever happen? I know tamshii stuff get released here minus macross of course. But i didn't know toynami had a hand in that. Reading the comments on that site, there's an interesting tidbit about Bandai being the ones that created the new heads for their 100s reissue but never used any other than the 1S. This is funny because I remember toynami touting that as being their enhancement for their planned reissues.

It did happen but ended with the Rekka no Ryu rerelease from Armor Plus Edited September 21, 2017 by Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
