I am completely ignorant about and devoid of any ability to make recast parts. I am however the proud owner of a few custom resin recast pieces (and soon a JM from Rohby) from members of this community and am happy with them. I do however see the flaws in them when compared to the original toys they are installed on or next to. Such as more fragility and being more brittle compared to the original plastic. Well my wheels were turning here this evening and I was wondering why nobody makes recast parts in plastic like the original toys? I'm sure there is a reason but I was wondering why? Is it just not economically feasible or just too difficult to do out of one's garage? I'd love to make custom toys so I wanna know more! Can any of you expert recasters enlighten me?

Tried to order a few but looks as though the only way to order is via credit card and their unsecure server (authorize.net?). At that point I aborted. Caveat Emptor....

Conratulations.

I'm interested in one if the offer is still good.

Not sure, here's the translation:

Super spatial-temporal fortress マクロス/ミリア 639 PVC figure

With new modelling limitation 3 body set ミリア 639 appearance! With the same scale as 1/60 クァドラン low/row embarkation possibility. Pilot standing version and ウエディングバージョン belong other than クァドラン low embarkation style. The pilot at the time of helmet installing and reproducing the state of the bare face with head replacement. Long hair of green - as for び く form gorgeousness itself!

* Manufacturer: And mark

That helps... Right?

In case link doesn't work.

Looks like Yamato is making good... Now that is Niiiiice.. Looks like she can even be inserted into the Q-Rau.

Well the VF-22 and the VF-17 where both in VF-X2 so could there be a chance they produce them without interfering into Bandai's license?

Then again I remember that when Yamato released the YF-22 FP the sample sent to Graham had the VF-22 face plate swap option which did not make it to the final production (but you can see where the face plate would have been in the plastic tray). Graham pointed out the possibility of licensing probs with Mac 7 mechs as the reason for it's exclusion if I remember correctly. So was the VF-X2 license a new acquirement for Yamato or maybe they are afriad to cross that bridge? Hmmm... If so then too bad because that would pretty much be Carte-Blanche to make any mech they want.

Pardon my possible ignorance but if the Koenig appearred in VF-X2 and hence Yamato can produce it. Can Yamato then produce any mech appearring in that game. I read long ago that the Macross 7 license was still being held by Bandai but we've already seen a game color VF-19 and now the Koenig Monster. Could this be a loop hole to produce others like the Nightmare or VF-22?

Better pic. I think that this is going to be too expensive! I refuse to buy it! Should have been cheaper for what you get. Not poseable enough and while I'm at it, where is the posable pilot figure with a nice round butt?

Customs? I wouldn't even wish those paint schemes on a Joons or Space Gandam. Ugh... Those look like variable transvestites.

Payment SENT! Thanks again!

Whether the Koenig Monster rumor is true or not I'd just like to say that I hope Yamato continues on with the trend started with the Queadluun. I LOVE my Valkyries and all but MAN does the Q-Rau spice up the shelf. We NEED more non-Valk Macross! I'm perfectly willing to "pay too much" for it too! I'm the proud owner of 3 Q-Raus and I paid full price from HLJ (oh and one from TMPanime) baby! YEEEAH!

I think I'll save my opinions for after she's in my hands... I never thought a 1/48 was worth over $100, until I owned one...

HLJ has 2 new pics. SWEEEET!

Here's a new pic. Now make with the review! ........ Please

Hey Graham if you're allowed to disclose, is the Millia pilot just a static plug in figure (and if so is she a full figure or just a bust like the Bandai kit) or poseable? I'm dreaming of posing this piece with Millia sitting atop the Q-Rau's shoulder... Aaah the anticipation... I'm not worried at all about the price, I've got 3 on preorder. I will whine about the release date however.. I want her NOW, NOW.!!! WAAAHH..

Payment sent!! Thanks again, ALOT!!!!!!! You're a good space monkey...

How do you unlock Hikaru's VF-1S and Max's VF-1S?

Wow.... I have not bought anything from the 1/60 line since the release of the 1/48 VF-1A (and then of course all subsequent 1/48 releases). This will be a must buy for me though. I'd hope that if they sell enough (how could they not?) that it would mandate a 1/48 release!?

Wow, that's a beauty... Please add me to your waiting list.

Big enough to comfortably house my Macross collection and that is ALL that matters. . I can't wait to hear what Yamato has in store for us... I'm still DYING for the upcoming Millia QRau.. WOW!!!

I was SuperDimensionalDave B4, I am SuperDimensionalDave again.. I will always be SuperDimensionalDave. You probably never noticed me before as I was a lurker but with the new improved boards I'll try and be a little more "involved" in the Macross community. There's always time for Macross...

How about a 1/48 scale SDF-1? I probably couldn't afford to pay my mortgage after such a purchase but I suppose I could move into it.
