Question regarding Macross 7 Model kits

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to the comunity but not to Macross. 

I want to start collecting, at least one example of each of my favourite Valkyries. My favourite desing by far is the VF-19 (doesn't matter which one). However getting any transforming well proportioned toys for this means expending exhorbitants amounts of money.

However I can get the Macross 7 1/100 VF-19s for about 50 bucks, which is more than reasonable. I know it has a little bit of parts forming (not Ideal as I'm a perfect transformation nut) and I also like the look of the three modes. 

However I cannot find a review ANYWHERE for it. And I would like to know how is its articulation, especially in the legs.

On another note: The bandai 1/72 kits and these macross 7 kits are the ONLY transforming kits, right?

Thanks for any info!

I built Basara's VF-19 not long ago (the Bandai 1/100 version). It was a fun build. Parts are molded in color, so I didn't even bother painting it. Just snapped the parts together and applied the included stickers.

Yes I do. Can you comment on the leg articulation? Is there any which way?

There are some older 1/100 and 1/72 transforming VF-1 series kits as well. And the Bandai 1/100 transforming VF-2SS from Macross II. Nothing from Hasegawa or Wave transforms that I know of.

 

I didn't know about the 1/100 Transforming VF2SS. Can you provide a link so I can know what I'm looking for?

The legs are doubled jointed at the knee, so you get these positions:

It also has articulation at the ankles, and the arms are also double jointed at the elbows.
