Yeah, but wouldn't it be neat if it was in scale with all the new Macross stuff coming out? And at that smaller scale, a Beta may not be as difficult to make.
This is my guess as well. Easiest to do. They can just toss in a set of TV-style FAST Packs, along with repainted Roy and Hikaru pilot figures, and put them all in a box that says "Macross Skull Leader 25th Anniversary Edition." It'll sell.
Since, according to "canon," the VF-11B became the main variable fighter of the U.N. Spacy, Yamato could go hog-wild with non-canon 1/60 VF-11B repaints. I'm hoping for Low Vis., Low Vis. 2-Woodland, Stealth, etc.
I think it is unfair to refer to Toynami's 1/100 scale Valkyries as knockoffs of the Banpresto Game Prize Valkyries because objectively speaking, they share nothing other than comparable size/scale. They are completely different toys.
Subjectively speaking, I understand more people actually prefer Toynami's 1/100 scale Valkyries to Banpresto's Game Prize Valkyries
Was the YF-19 adopted as the mainline variable fighter AS IS or are the Blazer and Fire Valkyries the production versions of the YF-19 that actually went into active service? Didn't really get to watch anything beyond Macross Plus, so I was wondering if non-canon repaints for the then experimental YF-19 would make sense.
Wow. Now I regret putting off ordering your decals. Thanks for your contributions to our hobby. Hope you transfer the technology to someone else in the community.
That's the beauty of it. Even if they wanted to make 1/55 scale Zentraedi figures, I'm not sure if that'll translate to a 12" action figure. If they wanted to make a figure that was closer in scale to the MPC Veritechs, they might need to sculpt a smaller action figure body, which would mean more money spent for new molds.
What Popbox has now is a 12" action figure body. They can just use that for a line of Zentraedi characters. What's important is, regardless of what scale they call it, a 12" Zentraedi action figure is going to look good next to 1/48 scale Valkyries.
