According to the VFMF VF-4 Lightning book, the VF-4A should have different dimensions compared to the VF-4G...PO cancelled!
-
Definitely more Masami than Kawamori! All Macross love is good Macross love...
-
Other ideas for 1/60 mods..... Swept forward wings.... Swept back... Spiny wings???.... Standard FP adapters?...
-
If FextHobby can steal the VFMF VF-4 strike pack designs with no impunity...I say go for a 1/60 version of it!
-
Fixed! More here.... https://ourstarblazers.com/vault/megaro/ And they fill in the spaces really well on Destroids too!
-
correct.... ....you'll need to take it up with the original illustrators...
-
I'm going to say the "engrish" is part of the overall nostalgia created for this release...regardless of whether it was intentional or not!
-
So I went and bought one of these. I can't say much about the toy that hasn't been said already....I probably will just leave it MISB as I am sure there are zero improvments to the actual toy...not sure if they tossed in pilot figs, but that would be the only thing I would want out of the box. I have another GBP from their "stealth" set, which I believe was another SDCC exclusive...and you would not be missing anything by not owning one. The only reason I or anyone else half-way interested in these releases would be the nostalgic factor...and by that I mean the obvious nod to the old-school Takatoku boxes and box-art. For the box alone, Toynami does go all the way and executes the look flawlessly. The box basically is a "what-if" look at what could have been a Takatoku 1/100 release of their 1/55 VF-1S GBP combo set... Anyway, it is an awesome recreation of the old-school Takatoku boxes...the illustrations, the text, the fonts...right down to the textured feel of the actual box. Again...this is pure 100% nostaligia heroin shot straight into your veins. With more similar packaging announced for the rest of their tired lineup of 1/100 VF-1's....I may be hooked enough to continue buying these...I'll definitely get the Retro VF-1S Super Combo set now... I have no idea where any of my HMR GBP's are at the moment...so hopefully someone else can see if they fit into these boxes.

LOL...thinking the exact same thing....afterall, this isn't the first rodeo for some of us https://suprememecha.blogspot.com/2014/11/arcadia-160-vf-0d-phoenix.html

Hope they also email folks...not everyone is on Fakebook
-
So looks like Toynami is re-releasing their 1/100 VFs with retro Takatoku boxes..... And Destroids apparently....think I'll wait and see what Kitz Concept does.

yep, depending on proxy used, you can get one between 250-300 USD. Hopefully that number will keep falling as we get closer to release day.
-
Yeah....still after proxy fees and shipping you are still looking at 250-300 usd....but still better than than what they spiked to immediately after the PO madness night

Link(s)?

Never liked the Lion Voltron.....I have always preferred the Vehicle Voltron, but more so for the sum of its parts rather than the whole....I like those funky vehicles and always kept the old toy separated rather than combined... This was the first non-Macross toy I PO'd in a while....hope it's worth it
-
What do your Fanky books say about the Asuka II?
-
.....enjoy the in-flight movie! -
Yamato 1/60 Zentradi Uniform....37,500 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/u288506590 Still commanding the Iron price!...

The MacrossManiac account was a way to hit the reboot button for his MW cel community online persona, since his elrdf account was outed as one belonging to what several here considered to be someone of questionable repute. The half-baked scheme almost worked.....if it weren't for some meddling kids!!!
-
I think it is all in the eyes, the closer they are to big "Disney-like" eyes...the easier it translates from traditional animation to 3DCG animation. So probably tons of Japanese Anime would translate well! Maybe even Macross!...preferrably the older Mikimoto style from 82-84....Macross is probably not lucrative enough for that kind of treatment though...but it doesn't hurt to dream...
-
make sure you encase all of your art in resin!
-
Interesting observation.....and apparently keeping the racial makeup of the main characters apparently only applies to the conversion from animation to live-action.....
