A well-funded fan film at best...

The green skinned jedi lady was about the worst character....it's like she was an even more wooden variant of Nebula...

Will continue watching, of course...

Looks like it comes with a small hand that fits inside the arm for transformation.

 

Saw a different video that shows height comparison with YamArcadia's 1/60 VF-1J in Battroid... errr... Battloid mode.

Nice...have link to this video?

Is this possibly the prophesied "DX" 1\60 VF-1?  LOL

Looking forward to seeing what it looks like next to other VF's....

Seems close to the KC in battroid height...

OK, finally got to see the video on my laptop....

Looks pretty good....looking forward to seeing how this looks next to a KC 1/72 and Yamato 1/60...

Hopefully KC doesn't decide to keep all of the PO deposits on their remaining unreleased 1/72 VF-1 toys and 'vanish'....

I took some box screenshots from the video link above.

Thanks!...look very clean...

First thing I notice is the lack of any "マクロス" logos....

For some reason the video does not load for me...

Any boxart pics yet?

Seems like Disney has lost it's laughing place.....

The ride mechanics are clearly unchanged....the re-theme just seems sort of dull...

I also still think a streaming series could work. My idea wouldn't be a 'street gang of the week' but showing how society collapses when the infrastructure (energy. water, law, etc) breaks down that eventually leads to wasteland road violence. 

‘Furiosa’ Box Office Puts Brakes on George Miller’s Next ‘Mad Max’ Movie

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/mad-max-the-wasteland-furiosa-1235911133/

So basically....The Walking Dead with the zombies replaced by psycho motor gangs?

I'd rather have more Mad Max movies with Max actually in them...

I hope that one of the resident Japanese translators would be able to start relaying some of these statistics for these Valkyries!

Google Translate does a good job for me...although I'm not really into knowing all about the stats

It could work if they plotted out the entire run of the show in advance, showing the final downfall of civilization.  Who am I kidding, your right - it would end up the biker gang of the month show eventually.

Still....goofy-a$$ pirates of the week seems to be doing well for the live-action One Piece...it's all about the actors and the writers...could be good....maybe if presented with Bezo's type money...George Miller would be willing to make a series....

I wasn't expecting this until later in the week.....DHL working on Memorial Day?...hope they are getting holiday pay....

Too busy for more at the moment....

That being said I think Mad Max could make for an excellent streaming series.

 

Until it just became the crazy biker gang of the month show...

Wow these where already being shown in 2017 when even Bandai was in there prototype stage with the DX series! and getting on to over eight years, that these have been teased here or there but still no concrete information on release??? Not sure what to make of the reliability! 🤔

Reminds me of the time Obi chopped off a dudes hand to end a bar fight. He was skilled enough to deflect blaster shots, yet instead of slicing the blaster, he went for the mutilation move to show who the real badass was

Civilized my arse! LOL

Interesting....so more black paint and less dirt? I didn't plan on seeing this at the theatres....can you spoil the context of their appearance for me?  I'm intrigued by this info...

 

Nevermind.....found it on the web...seems like just fanservice at best....

Looked to be in better shape than it was in Road Warrior and Fury Road. The car, that is. Max had short, dark hair.

Yes, Max and the V8 Interceptor do appear in the film. Briefly.

 

In what condition?

No, Toynami did DYRL superposeables and 1/100 way back in the day, and Popbox did the DYRL Hikaru and Max figures, but that was well before the licensing issues were settled and HG was left only with Robotech specific rights.

In hindsight, the HG/BW "deal" actually decreased the available options for consumers....BW isn't doing anything with DYRL outside of Japan and seemingly never will....seems dumb for HG to have relented on this issue....we probably could have had at least KC DYRL VF-1's had things remained "unchanged" or HG was smarter at negotiating....LOL

How much does a Kids Logic VF-1S bust go for now? I haven't been able to find anything.

Guessing MSRP at most....the only 2 I found were the VF-1J versions....
