    I do see the VF-1S Hikaru and Focker 1/60 V2 on that list. They're the anniversary versions but I find it unlikely we won't see more of those should demand exist. Of course, if we see more of them they will be the clear canopy new crotch variety. I wonder if the same would be true of other V2 toys on that list. The tinted canopy original crotch types are done being serviced but I doubt that means you should lose hope of a clear canopy new crotch version being released eventually.

    Anymoon has reviews of all existing legioss and alpha toys... including videos and line art comparisons.

    Does anyone have an opinion on what would be the best Votoms book to buy for line art purposes? I have the DVD set that has some good line art on it but I was thinking there are probably some good books out there that can be acquired inexpensively that would be better references.

    I gotta say, the NSX looks a tiny bit sharper than that Lotus. The Esprit has something funky going on with its back window but the bright white might be making it difficult to sense depth.

    Wasn't bandai the funders behind macross frontier?

    That's how mine looked out of the box... not sure this helps. The toy comes with a set of alternate head spikes. I can't tell from my pics (too small) but maybe the previous owner swapped out the head lasers. Check to make sure you have extra head lasers.

    Vf4 is a long ways off... I'm guessing q4.

    A 171 is going to be made some day and I'm gonna buy it. That's my bold prediction. If Yamato is doing the VF-4 anything is possible... even probable at this point.
  9. jenius
    But he said it was a release not by yamato.
  10. jenius
    Ooh so the other release comes before the VF-4G huh? Good news.

    It really doesn't cost very much to make a repaint of the toy. Yamato's done the hard work releasing the first two toys. A simple repaint made in a very limited quantity could pretty easily break even... make a lot of money? Not so much. Actually, the MSRP on these was ridiculously high so they might be right to think there's not much audience for a limited release repaint.

    Because the factories are going to be too busy spitting out VF-1 reissues???

    Oh wow, someone talks about a straw man, then says they don't go to manufactcurers websites to complain about defective merchandise so people shouldn't go to a macross forum to complain about toys they think could be better for the price. That was a neat read.

    anybody else having issues where pictures will get chopped up in frames? I've noticed this on my phone (Android) and on my home computer on fairly pic intensive threads. One of the pics will inevitably get cut off by the next post and in order to see the pic I'll have to click on it. Not a big problem, just something I've noticed (most recently in the 1/48 Regult thread).

    I don't have mine yet but don't the legs already feature a mechanism in th knee for extending in fighter and retracting for battroid? If there's already one way the legs shrink going from one mode to the next, there's almost certianly a way to design them shrinking more... the question is, as always, what would need to be compromised to accomplish this. Maybe they could have tried some crazy contraption like CM's' approach to the Legioss leg... but in reverse.

    I'd give it to the V2 VF-25 for the combination of broader appeal and much lower MSRP. While the Yamato 19Kai is sort of in a league of its own, it's still a 19Kai toy at the end of the day and it's at a price point where you realize you could have bought an Xbox360 and games. Sure, if the 19Kai was flawless it still might win out but it too gets loose joints and the Gerwalk joint proved fragile. I call it a darn fine runner-up... but a runner-up none-the-less. Of course, if you're comparing the 19Kai to a $500 Durandal all sorts of stuff gets skewed and the 19Kai starts looking like a much better buy... but I think I paid $180 for my Durandal and VF-25F V2 each and nearly $300 for my Kai.

    Someone should convince toynami to make it as an appendix.
  18. jenius
    I dunno... i love it but i paid msrp... that's a lot of scratch
  19. jenius
    it ahould probably be considered last year's macross toy of the year... and that should be the perception of it... although i prefer the 29.
  20. jenius
    Well that's the thing, you could build it as a Fuke or a Shinobu, it would be up to you. I suppose that's not how things work in the real world though since Yamato doesn't include the other heads in their unassembled kits.
  21. jenius
    Or one kit with an extra head and camera right (assuming it was resin)? Rumor was that Shinobu (LOL, Shinobi gear... ninja outfit and throwing stars?) was going to be an exclusive (head for your fire and pitchforks!).
  22. jenius
    It does depend on the lighting though, I have some lights where the color match on both valks is very pronounced. Generally though, it looks good to me and even when you can see the mismatch the parts that are painted are such where it almost seems like the second tone parts ought to be a different color as part of the scheme.
  23. jenius
    I'm optimistic that whoever picked up the prototype when the crash and burn occurred will produce a resin kit.
  24. jenius
    Yes, capitalizing on a animation error where a 1A was drawn with additional 1J lasers.
  25. jenius
    Hard to say right now... I'm having a hard time justifying owning all three of those 22S toys. Maybe I'll sell off the M&M and replace them in a similar pic with a 19F and a 17S.
