The F-14 variant as many know already had the Transformers/Top Gun crossover. Seeing a vf-25 head with the Maverick Helmet and wording is just odd. Maybe it will grow on me after I get over my initial shock of 'why?' https://tfsource.com/hasbro-transformers/transformers-generations-collaborative-top-gun-maverick/

Hold on...just saw a transformation video of the Optimus Prime Fire Valk from Tomy...you know the people who made this new Legioss toy, and IT gets solid forearms but the Legioss doesn't? No one from the Legioss team ever looked over the cubicle on the Transformers side to see what they were doing and maybe borrow a really good idea???? come on!

Maverick helmet painted on the head? Air Force/Navy star and stripe on the wing. What the heck are the kill icons on the bottom of the cockpit? Does it say Pete Mitchell is the pilot? I feel this is a really really really strange crossover. Between the recent Transformers Basara toy to this, it seems Macross can't stand on its own so it needs to partner with a larger franchise. Guess that makes sense, the only show most US fans have seen was the original from Robotech, which isn't licensed here, and all the shows that are licensed have never been seen here, aside from recent streaming changes decades past air dates in Japan. Maybe these crossover items will get more eyeballs and fans into the franchise, which is really wonderful, just not sure this is particular valk is in my personal wheelhouse. (Not bashing this at all, just not my bag) Could someone do an DX Fire Valkyrie head with the mouth open and the Maverick helmet design?

ahhhh, NOW I know whey they call it a model, and not a toy! Its just like transforming my 1/48 Imai Legioss kit. I suspect all these non-permanently attached pieces allow future upgrades/parts swapping for some potential crazy combinations.
-
I like the new interpretation of the transformation, but not a fan of the hollow forearms, they really look awkward...sort of go-bot like. Having the cockpit glass directly under the head is a bit odd after all...it almost makes the pilot think 'get that head thing out of the way so I can see' Should have an option to move the head around like the missile packs...put it on the leg lol

Just found a video...auto translate ON
-
Nice comparison on sizes...and because I am super lazy this am to search, did they tell us the scale? Is it 1/55 or 1/60 ish? Or is it non-scale?
-
Maybe someone could create a 3-d printed leg-only GBP clam-shell type wrap option for this to display in G/B mode. With the lack of tampo, it is just a color match issue. POC it and post it on the Bandai twitter page. Bandai could then make one themselves for 5000 yen, market it as the Anime Enhanced release or some nonsense. When Graham lets go a VF-17 I know there is trouble!

How come Google translate says 'A 1/24 scale figure of Misa Hayase in her school uniform!' That is a bridge uniform aint it?? I need them to re-issue the TV Quead...I missed it, and it isn't available anywhere I could find!
-
Ah...true...so like the old HCM line
-
Looks like the TOYrise! , uhmm what to we call it, ok, how about "Mospeada Product" is out Cause I can't call it a Toy! (assume is says this is for Collectors or some nonsense)

In 2-3 years, we will print out all these pics you've shared with us for your first Macross Art book Just amazing as always, thank you for keeping all these designs alive.
-
Sorry just catching up in this thread...but I can't let that comment go unnoticed. 33rd!!!??? You are single handedly keeping the CF franchise going...I hope your purchases encourage Bandai to give me a DX CF soon! Thank you for your service. -
That one on YJ was secured by @xstoys ! It is wild we have a Takatoku 1/100 in model kit form (like the Yamato Assembly kits from many decades later) Whoever finds the 1/55 version will have the Ultimate Grail! Can't believe we can't find one in this wild world of interconnected web tubes. Here are some additional pics for the archives, if curious! The gun is detached on this one too...it seems it was common to pop off the sprue, in our 2 or 2 known samples.

4 year old resurrection! Someone did a proper Haneda Special Edition version of the scene, neat!!
