drifand Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 … If Yamato included a separate cockpit/fuselage section which you can clip onto the arm of a another valk, just like in the TV episode? It would have to be a separate prop or accessory, no use hoping for the impossible. Who would pay a premium to get such an extra with the main toy? On the same line, how about a space pod for Milia's baby when her 1/48 gets released eventually? Complete with opening hatch and mini-baby fig? These are the kind of things they couldn't do for the 1/60s by the larger size of the 1/48s is perfect for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abombz!! Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 lol... we might as well wish for a fully automatically transformable toy while we are at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drifand Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 You really think so? Doesn't seem that tough to make happen if Yamato wants to make a really kic-ass product and thrill the fans... OTOH, with the kind of shortcuts Yamato seems to prefer taking sometimes, maybe you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I'd just be thrilled to get a 1/48 -1D in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omni Existence Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 ...nah, the 1/48 is already cool as it is. The FAST Packs will double that once they are released. ..now if there was a GBP armour with fully accessible missle bays, doors, and spring loaded micro-missiles, that would definitely make the 1/48 the "end all" Valkyrie toy for many years to come.

I've always thought this would be a cool feature for any valk release...often contemplated making a custom that would do that, just never got around to it... jwinges made one that clips on to the arm of a 1/55. He had pics of it and everything (on the old boards). He also mentioned he was planning on recasting them. If they make the orange 1/48 VF-1D, they should make a "brownie" or "low-viz" version too. It would be out of character for Yamato to not try and get more than one paint scheme out of a 1/48 design, especially since they'd have to redesign the nosecone, chestpiece, and scuplt a new head.

Hybridchild Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 If they did do the 1D in 1/48th they most likely do the SuperO and Elint to make it worth while instrad of doing differant colour schemes Hybridchild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane29 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I'd take a 1/48 Elint over a D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 I'd rather pick up a 1/48 VF-1D over the Max Jenius and Low Viz VF-1A. It's not just another repaint with minor upgrades, I guess you'd get a slightly different sculpt (new VF-1D head). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abombz!! Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 The 1D is ugly. There are plenty of other valks that deserve the 1/48 treatment better then the 1d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VT and VE's coming out have bubbley nosecones. Not the best sculpt, but certainly different than the VF-1D. Pic of VT-1 from Valkyrie-Exchange (www.valkyrie-exchange.com): Pic of VF-1D from Jawjaw's website (www.superjaw.com): If you notice, the back of the canopy doesn't even line up the same way.
