I wouldn't mind a TV coloured Super FP for the V.2 HIKARU 1J. I'm gonna end up using it on a ROY 1S, of course! But it would also be nice if the V.2 FP's can hold the gunpod in place like it should without any tinkering from any of us whatsoever.

Ditto !!!!

Not really. But I've been waiting (just like most everyone here at MW.com!) for a fast-packed Valk that wouldn't be too damn heavy to play with.

Nice, he-he !

Sweet! Now how 'bout some box pics, guys?!

Actually, I think they should include both. I mean, for the price that they're asking for it !

I like it because out of all 3 MAC+ mechs, it closely resembles the original VF-1.

Me and you both, but here's hoping YAMATO's not going to limit the STRIKE CANNON/TIP for this 1/60 version to the 1S Variant, just like they did for the V1.

Not to get off the subject or anything like that, but from this particular comparison pic and the angle it was taken, the lower leg portion of the 1/60 V2 looks similar to that of the HASEGAWA BATTROID model (the one with the TENJIN HIDETAKA box art!). Very interesting!

I don't know much about toy mass productions, but wouldn't this be a rather simple task for them to do. I mean, it's probably as easy as a simple re-paint of the 1A HIKARU. I can understand that YAMATO wanted to test the waters with this particular V.2 release, but c'mon, if the 1/48's and the crappy 1ST EDITION 1/60's are of any indication, this baby should sell real well.

I really hope they do come out with both. Would be nice to have a 1S MAX in both scales.

Looks like YAMATO's cranking out the 1/60 V.2 sooner than I expected (although, it's probably not soon enough for some folks here at MW.com, he-he !).Those 1A pics just looks awesome. Time to start saving up for a HIKKY 1S !

The price tag on this particular release is just plain ridiculous, but I can't say that I'm surprised . Still looks awesome though, and will probably end up getting one.

My updated inventory : 1/60 = 1 1/48 = 5

For me, it's gonna be a coin toss between the 1/48 GBP/VF-1J Combo and the 1/48 HIKARU STRIKE VALK. Which ever one is closest to me physically during a fire or an earthquake would be the winner .

I agree. In episode 27 during the final battle with BODOLZAA's fleet, every VF-1 in orbit around the earth was outfitted with FP's. There had to be at least one pilot during that particular battle that was flying a 1J, besides MAX n' MILIA.

Now this I think would've been a good marketing ploy !

Nice! Thanks for the linky, CHOWYUNSKINNY!

Can we at least find out from GRAHAM if there'll be another re-release of the 1/48 FP's ? I've got 1 more set that I have kept aside for my lil' boy, but if YAMATO's doing another release, then I'll just open up this one and use it on my MAX 1A.

!! Nicely put!

Nice pics, SQIDD! Thanks for sharing. I'm one of those folks whose not too thrilled about how the SV-51 looks in BATT mode, but the those images of it in GERWALK just screams AWESOME! I'm actually having 2nd thoughts about having to pick one up now .

The VF-1S and the YF-19 are basically just going to be repaints (I think!). Can anyone confirm this, please?!

Issues #3-5 are my faves, where they talk about all the OP toy incarnations (up to about the BW era) in detail and like you folks, I can't wait to pick up on the new issue .

Yup, gotta agree with this one. I think it's the "bestest" Valkyrie in toy form that I have 2 outfitted with FP's .
