Hayao Kakizaki

Hayao, are your Valks coming directly from Japan supplier?

I am just hoping that some of these defects are bootlegged Valks that have yet gone through QC and sleaked out to HK for sale...is that possible??

hello everyone,call for a help here,

I need a full yamato 1/48 series product release date record,

can anyone help me ?

thankyou very much

Hello,

I have a few queries concerning the MACROSS PLUS Yamato transformable Valkyrie figures.

Except for the obvious colour differences and packaging, what other differences are there between:

1. VF-11B & VF-11B Fast Pack

2. YF-19 & VF-19A

3. YF-21 & YF-21 Fast Pack

Are they all the same quality and size of 1:60 scale or are they 1:55 scale like the Bandai Valkyries?

I want to buy the VF-11, YF-19, & YF-21 but I’m not sure if I should go for the “Fast Pack†editions, the standard ones or the “A†VF-19A instead of the YF-19?

Any info will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

the offical release day in Japan is 28 april,

also have Stealth VF-1J stand & DX set, and the repaint display stand Black ver.

I keep reading about folks clamoring for "Focker's Grey VF-1S TV version" of the 1/48 Yamato Valkyrie, but I honestly don't remember any differences between the TV version of the VF-1S and the 1/48 VF-1S Focker toy that I own.

What are the differences, if any?  Was my TV's brightness just turned up too high all this time?   

Are Yamato's 1/48 scale Max, Milia, and Hikaru Super VF-1J's faithful to the TV series' designs? What about the Cannon Fodder?

367644[/snapback]

the different between TV & MOVIE of ROY VF-1S not due to the body color,

is due to the marking on the body and the palm design,

1. head arrow on tv is black,while movie is yellow

2. lower leg have a "VF" mark in TV version

3. the "001" on the leg little fin is bigger than movie version

4. the "001" on the tail fin is in the middle top, while movie version is near the edge

5. this point I'm not sure, I suppose TV version haven't a little skull mark near cockpit

6. cockpit panel and layout design are different

7. flight suit of pilot are totally different

8. this point I also not sure, I suppost The TV VF-1S is belong to the "prometheus" while the

Movie is belong to "Armd-1" (maybe two of it also is belong to "SDF-1"...)

9. palm design are different

then why I choose light grey instead of white is just because the impression that the TV series given to me, also the takatoku 1/55 toys

Great pics.  Haven't posted here in a long time....

Anyways, I pre-ordered the GBP armour from HLJ quite a few months ago.  I still haven't got an email notice that they are billing me or shipping it to me.  Anybody else in the same situation??  Or should I be concerned and contact HLJ?

YOU MUST CONTACT HLJ ASAP

Thanks for the great pictures Hayao - I can see the great efforts you took to put all that amazing stenciling stickers on, it looks great!!

All you need is a little dark wash to pick out the recessed details and a light dry brushing with a little chipping here and there to pick up the highlights and you've got an amazing looking toy (no need for an entire re-paint!) - possibly a flat coat over the entire armoured pieces to tie the stickers into the background a bit.  I love how the missles are painted and the little nozzles behind the foot areas are even done in a dull red.

I can't believe Yamato didn't tempo print the stencils after all this time (see the Gundam FIX figurations) - well Anasazi... you've got your work cut out for you to get us some water slide decals for this beauty - and I volunteer to be your first ginuea pig customer!!

THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ADVICE~!! I will try it later~

Has anyone wondered how the GBP will look like in a MAX or MILLIA paint scheme?

356162[/snapback]

you mean that? or you want a fully repaint of GBP-1S?

Ah yummy. Thanks for the detailed pics. Those new hands look really nice. Could you get a pic of a valk with the hands but not wearing the GBP armor?

Thanks. I wish yamato made these the standard for the non-gbp valks. Maybe include those chicken hands too. The tv valks get clown hands plus the chicken, so the DYRL should get chicken + GBP hands to be even, I say.

355981[/snapback]

ALREADY HAVE IT, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT?

THIS TIME THE BALANCE VERY WELL~!

How is the range of movement for the arms and legs with the armor on? Is it able to scrunch up like it is getting ready to fire all the missles at once?

355938[/snapback]

the movablity are decrease, but still can move and got stiff,

and you said that action, I think it can, but maybe not 100% as your imagine

You are gonna make me cry.... I want mine so badly now.  I'd also like to know if the forarm missiles come out, and see some more shots of the waist area.

And Zero-Mare, i'm with you, the stickers do look alot better in these pictures.

Hayao, are the stickers for this different from Yamato's usual stickers?

355926[/snapback]

just the same, but always good~!

Thanks for the Pics.  How well does the armor stay on?  Esp the cod and hip pieces.  Is there a detailed sticker guide in the instructions?  Speaking of stickers we need custom stickers for the GBP.

355922[/snapback]

VERY STIFF~!! forget the 1/60~ yes, it have detailed sticker guide, I just follow the guide to put it on, and have large amount of sticker for you to put it on as you like.

god, that looks awesome, the new hands for it are a definite improvment. by the way is it just me or did they seriously improve the stickers for this toy?

355921[/snapback]

the sticker are the same quality, but I always feel it's good~

You rock my socks Hayao Kakizaki! Thanks!

EDIT: Can you give us a pic of the crotch area with the removable piece? 

355918[/snapback]

IS that the following post fullfill your's ?

Have to pick up my jaw from the floor...

One question, are the blue missiles from the forearms removable?

355917[/snapback]

YES, IT REMOVABLE~, all the MISSILE/ GRENADE you found canbe removable.
