The closest in scale would be the WHAM SDF-1 in 1/5000....it comes in "movie color" and "a blue chrome-like" paint scheme....you can still find it on auction sites like eBay and Yahoo japan Auctions....

For the TV VF-1J? Today...4PM JST...based on past pre-orders... http://tamashii.jp/item_announced/
-
Found the rest of the Doyusha 1/144 valks... Max and Millia.... Next up....Roy and Hikaru....

Bandai should immediately stop allowing Tenjin to deface the covers of these otherwise 100% perfect toys! (quick! make some room behind that dumpster for me! )
-
Cool...looking forward to your finished work! BTW...it may have been planned for actual release by Bandai back in the day....sadly, it never happened...
-
Sure...next you'll be telling us these are "Super Real Models".... Wouldn't it be funny if Bandai just rolled with Tenjin's illustration? It's Tenjin's fault!!!
-
It would be an awesome gesture to the fans...heck, toss them in with the upcoming TV VF-1J and call it a day! If I recall correctly, a similar situation happened when Yamato released their Macross Chronicle exclusive 1/48 VF-1A Max TV type....they forgot to include the TV style clown hands.....to "correct" the omission, they included an extra set of TV clown hands with their Macross Chronicle exclusive 1/48 VF-1A Kakizaki TV type....of course, to get the correct hands you'd have to buy the Kakizaki...but still, they actually did something to correct the issue....
-
That's just it...it was a mistake....not even sure Bandai has ever owed up to it....I'm guessing Japanese fans aren't that critical so they probably won't....the fact that Bandai is releasing a VF-1A with both TV and DYRL parts means they are totally aware of the differences between both versions.....the same can now be said with their upcoming TV VF-1J..... So, the current HMR GBP is 100% a DYRL release that went into production with the wrong color missile tips.....we forgive you Bandai! Keep those HMR's coming!!!
-
LOL....if you're still convinced the recent HMR GBP was not a DYRL version release, then I guess the horse in that gif must be you.....go ahead and drink the water, Mr. Ed....it's safe!
-
LOL....do you also go by Treatment?
-
Are you referring to the recently released GBP-1J? If so, it is 100% a DYRL version....Bandai simply messed up the color of the missile tips.....in DYRL it is indeed operated by an unknown pilot as during the same battle Hikaru is actually piloting a VF-1A (Skull Squadron type)... ....knowing that there are more than enough Macross completists out there, Bandai may still end up releasing the GBP-1J version piloted by Hikaru in the TV series...in fact, Bandai would have us believe the fans actually "voted" for one to be released... I do agree that the Super VF-1J Max and Millia that they are currently teasing has no basis on anything seen on either the TV series or film....it is basically a scheme Bandai came up with during the marketing of their model kits for these two Macross characters....however, since they apparently have no intentions of actually doing TV-style fast packs for the HMR line, I can live with it...
-
Nice....and just as accurate as the HMR version! With Bandai's willingness to release a separate TV VF-1J....is it safe now to assume they are going all out on HMR VF-1 variants? At this point, how easy would it be for them to release a VF-1J TV Mass Production Type and every TV and DYRL VF-1A type ever thought up for both? Th Bandai HMR lineup will easily surpass Yamato's DYRL line soon and their TV line soon enough.....going 1/100-ish was a stoke of genius for Bandai.....HMR(espect)!
-
Almost looks like a swappable head visor....that would be cool and they wouldn't need to release a separate TV GBP bundle....but then we'd never get yellow-tipped missiles!
-
Can't tell from the pics, but I'm guessing this one is a lighter shade of white? Also, will Bandai go for the double-dip by releasing this TV VF-1J once again when bundling it with their teased TV GBP-1J?
-
hadn't seen the chest cover pieces before...looks even better now! Would be nice of Bandai to offer those for the other VF-1's released so far, perhaps in some future mail-in bundle....

NSFW!.....

You have expensive tastes in valkyries.... That one is easily $400+...I

HMR FEVER!!!!
-
nonsense..... You still have the opportunity to truly capture what really happened during that confrontation between Hikaru and Quamzin! ....but it won't count unless both toys lose a limb!!!
-
Yep....
-
LOL....Funny how the Doyusha 1/144 YF-19 still has more tampo printing than an Arcadia 1/60 YF-19!

Thanks guys! Yes, I forgot...it does have lighting built-in....I took pics with my cell phone so I could not get good low light pics.....maybe later when I find the rest of my Doyusha valks and add them to the deck.....
