It needs to have a button on the display stand that plays 'Sunset Beach' on demand
-
I've always wanted to have a VT-1 like this (The old Orange Collection models)
-
I wonder if the Ostrich uses normal size tailfins and does some other geometry magic with the rear hinge, or if it uses the shorter tailfins like Yamato did (that always bugged me, I like a full size tailfin)
-
I wasn't sure if the light was playing off it, but it does look like it could be clear plastic-the wing stripe seems to be peeking through
-
So the VT-1 might come with 4 figures? HIkaru in Flight Suit + Minmei and Hikaru and Misa in the escape aftermath?
-
So is that an all metal DX?!?? And some more pics https://hjweb.jp/article/1243752/
-
Oh heck yeah...for the 40th Anniversary of DYRL 1984/2024, so maybe middle/end of next year? We should see some more pics in the upcoming Tamashi Nations show this weekend-cannot wait!!

Lets tone down the 'pisswaffles' type comments please, you can criticize in a less crude manner here. I'm looking forward to seeing this in person! I like the details I've seen so far, and the different interpretation of the fast pack internals vs Yamato. I think we have 4 unique versions now...Club-M which looks like the Gold Book Poster, the Yamato, which went with individual missiles, the Yamato/Arcadia 1/60 which changed the engines a little, but kept the individual missiles, and finally the DX, which returns to the missile tube version, but adds the little engine details (like the little spheres)

Thanks for the link! Love the box-wish they would do mini posters again like they did in the beginning, that would look sharp.
-
soooo close...come ON I just want to see the actual BOX already 😛

I know its a little unorthodox to cross post from another forum, but for the lite-lurkers who don't dig into the other sections, @ImChris5115 is making their own transformable valkyrie, proprietary design. I'm just floored at the skillset involved. Take a peek if you haven't checked it out! -
That is straight out of Heinlein's Starship Troopers book, where the women were the better pilots due to their ability to sustain a higher G load, too funny! We know Miyatake was a definite fan of that work
-
Love the art on these, its so dynamic!
-
Don't remember if posted before so sorry, but I found or refound the Mechanic Edition Instructions for a sneak peak at the armor. I'm old and forgetful and this thread is 767 pages long https://tamashiiweb.com/images/item/item_0000014582_LxbF0B89_300.pdf From the pic it looks like the "100" is the optional Tail Fin and the "001" will be assembled. Its coming in fighter mode
-
Wrap your holiday gifts with it of course! Kaneda!!!!
-
I had no idea that even existed, incredible find!!! Super Styling Indeed!
-
what an awesome photo!!
-
More pricing if curious what you'll be getting into 😛
-
Dang it...I temporarily forgot the cardinal rule of Macross Collecting There are ALWAYS Variants.
-
Did your Type01 ever make it into the physical world? I love the sleek design of that one as well I feel like I'm seeing a Type 01 vs Type 02 Macross Plus Alternate Universe competition and love it. We need to find you a toy manufacturer and get these into production!
-
I've been monitoring the YJ prices for the upcoming Mechanic Edition VF-1 (release Nov 17th 2023) With the current Yen to US $ conversion its not terribly bad ($310-$350), considering you get the valk + armor. The normal releases of those 2 pieces combined regularly exceed that. Wonder what the market $ will be once the release is official
-
The Tamashi Nations show is on the 17th, so in just 11 more days we should hopefully see some more pictures from the displays and see the current version in development.
-
oh.....so I'm the only one that uses Chogokin gloves? 😛
