Wouldn't Alpha's and Beta's be really tiny in 1/100 scale?

Where did the VF-22 appear? Does it share enough parts with the YF-21 that it can be released as a repaint thereof?

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.

Was that a Yamato 1/48 repaint exclusive to the magazine's contest?

This has always been my view as well. I keep trying to look for a grey VF-1S in the TV series, but I haven't seen one yet.

What is that white thing on top of the Ghost repaint?

I seem to recall this paint scheme from pics of a model kit. What's it supposed to be?

That's OK. I probably would've saved up to get the CF and Shin-type eventually anyway.

Did that Wolf Pack squadron appear in the anime? Model kit box art? Just wanna see a picture of a Valkyrie with that decal set.

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.

This thread is useless without pictures of VALKYRIES.

Has it been confirmed whether this will be released on its own or bundled with a Vlakyrie?

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.

Canards? Those are ducks, right?

I like the one with the original GBP. The colors match!

Do any of the anime-colored GBP Armor sets already have the reinforced chest piece?

Hi, Graham. Did yoyu ever post that scan of the credit card Valkyrie?

I've always been curious about this combination. How about some pictures?

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.

I, too, like the Gucci black boxes.

I would've figured this would be the easiest thing in the world to come up with. Just get your typical 1/6 scale action figure, slap a nice Zentraedi uniform on it and presto - 1/48 uniformed Zentraedi figure! You can just vary the skin tones and head sculpts for Kamjin/Khyron or some generic Zentraedi soldier. Better yet, Zentraedi foot soldier battle armor can stitched to a body suit like the way 1/6 Batman Begins figures are done. That's two Kamjin versions right there! Of course, it would be nice if bigger base figure body were used for Britai/Breetai or Bodolza/Dolza, say 13," and maybe an 11" figure body for Exedore. Of course, the purpose of all of this would be to have some Zentraedi figures that will look great disolayed with the Yamato 1/48 Valkyries. Sure there'll be sticklers for detail who are going to argue endlessly about the proper height of a typical Zentraedi in 1/48 scale. But I think action figures that are approx. 12" ought to look close enough to look convincing.

As long as the transformation mimicked that of the 1/48, I would buy them.
