maximilian_jenius Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 O_O wait a minute, is the VF-X non transformable test type? VF-X, Raven type (like the canon fodder color theme)? or a new VF-X valkyries series? :S (19A, 11B, 17S, etc in Ravens color) if is the VF-X Raven type, this only will be the same valk desing, same color theme in a new box :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Ravens paintjob for the VF-11 perhaps? If so, sweeeeet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) cool. although i would prefer if it said VF-X2. also, price indicates that this could just be a VF-1/VF-1X(?)... still, it's pretty good news in terms of what could be next after this...

Jasonc Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Interesting, indeed. I'd like to see it when pics are available. Either way, it's pretty cool news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I really do hope it's original VF-X shown in the background during repairs to Roy's VF-1S. I just updated my gallery today, and then just noticed this post. I really hope Yamato makes every single Valkyrie scheme ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGemini Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 A dumb question.. What is the MF blog? The link on the Macross F website on the left hand side that says "blog". It takes you to this page: http://www.macrossf.com/blog/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks! I couldn't relate VF-X with Macross Frontier so I didn't think about that... And I feel sad to see Macross Chronicle ends... When the 2nd part of MF movie hasn't been released yet. So it has been 2 years already...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yes... it has been 2 years since Macross Frontier 1st started airing (2 1/2 if we consider the Deculture edition as well)..... and guess what? The year after next will be the 30th anniversary of Macross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 IIRC, should be non-transforming VF-X prototype. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vostok 7 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hmmm, could Yamato be testing the water for a series of non-transformables? Interesting, though, considering it costs as much as a normal V2 with FAST packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 IF it is the non-Trans prototype, for a lower cost I would love to get it, otherwise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'll buy it if it's a new/altered mold. If it's just a non transformable VF-1 fuggetaboutit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0n5t3r Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) nice! liking the colors... if it does turn out to be non-transformable, maybe *somebody here can convince Yamato to change their mind about this.

UN Spacy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The VFX-1 almost had the same amount of screen time as the VE-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormesh Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Would be great if it has removable panels to show the internal frame and workings just like in the video. Otherwise not worth the money unless you really want a piece of Macross history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 VF-X: Non-transformable variable-wing flight test version. VF-X-1: Transformable prototype developmental version. The VF-X is non-transformable predecessor of VFX-1. I am wondering how will Yamato do a flush intake on the existing mold. Ironically, many people will pass I guess. If this valkyrie is announced as web exclusive in HDP kit version for 200,000 yen, then people will start screaming how much they wanted it in a toy form.

dizman Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Thats pretty neat, as long as it has removable armor that reveals internal details I don't care if it transforms or not. It better not cost as much as a transforming valk but knowing Yamato its a web exclusive that costs $300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Wasn't the VFX just a VF without a head and a smooth underside? I'd have to dig the DVD's out of storage to watch the episode/flashback again. I am glad it is being made just wish it wasn't by Yamato since it cannot transform and will be overpriced. Seems like it would be a better project for Hasegawa's 1/48 and 1/72 VF series of models. It a bold move but think it will end up being a bad seller.

Cyclone Trooper Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hmmm, could Yamato be testing the water for a series of non-transformables? Thought Yamato already did that and didn't sell very well...they were called Destroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabidweezil Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 People keep saying the destroids didn't sell well. Is that an official statement from Yamato or just an assumption? If it's an assumption I'm not sure where it came from. Sure HLJ had them on sale. But they have had lots of Valks on sale too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 That's why it's a made-to-order exclusive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 The main body should still be transformable. It should just have a few new parts such as the curved belly plate that covers the head area and possible (not sure), new forearms.

nightmareB4macross Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Hey, look what we've got here It seems to me it could transform Only major issue I have with this is that the two blisters at the nosecone should not be there at all. While the underbelly has not been seen yet, there should be no arms, head, or knee joints as this should remain non-transformable. The only piece attached to the underside is a curvacious plate from the back of the cockpit to the thrusters. The paint scheme is rather nice, and overall it is a very welcome display valkyrie. Good job, Yamato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 love that VF-1A whale hunter custom! ...i'd rather have that one in 1/60. plus the "view attachment pic upgrade" is a very welcome update to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Thanks. But to stay on topic here is a very crude correction of Yamato excellent photoshopping skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
