CF18

Come on only Ranka can fit Mylene's outfit.

I may actually get the SD Minmay. It looks similar to the unpainted fig from the SD Joke Machine VF-1S, and should fit with any VF-1 display very well.

Continue from old thread.

I don't collect non-mecha figs, but the new stuff coming from Banpresto are just wacky.

2012 September Macross ~歌姬Collection~

Macross F DX Figure Shenyl ~Fire Bomber Ver.~

Macross F DX Figure ~Nurse Ver.~

Was an MSRP for the 25G even announced yet?

14,000 yen, or about US$180. Tradition shops HLJ/Amiami/AE/HobbySearch gives their default 10% to 20% off discount.

New price is still way higher than the original IMAI 3200 yen.

Will the preorder for the VF 25G renewal be in June or July?

The official listing of VF-171 was posted on Tamashii web on Feb 29, and Amimai/HLJ etc started taking order the next day on Match 1st 3AM EST. Well I already setup my web update scanner but I don't have a bot that can auto buy from those shops.

I don't know... they haven't show if they fixed the biggest fault of version 1. I need to see fighter mode with land gears out and the gun not touching the ground. Although it is suppose to be from the same guy designed the 1:72 model so it should be fine.

That's mostly IShop2go's fault. Bandai HK has long history of under-supplying med range to high-end toys in the HK market, although in this case they have to get them from Japan anyway since only HG in has official Macross distribution license in HK.

Someone knows if the release date for the VF-25 G is September?

Thank´s.

Yes the magazine say September, 14000 yen

Dengeki Hobby scan

1:60, which you could have seen in the post above if Reïvaj didn't hotlink from site that don't allow hotlink.

Graham asked us if we want some more VF-1 base on the Macross the First manga too.

MB23 is VF-1S with fast pack. Amiami has listing of most Metal Box model, but oddly HLJ and Hobbysearch don't list them.

It's suppose to have lots of green:

Also shown by Yamato: MB23 VF-1S

Don't know if it is model or completed, but I am more excited about these possibly coming:

But the most crazy stuff is this thing at Yamato's booth:

1/72 Macross VF-1S etching Model Kit??

GK Collection is what various blogs calls it.

First bit of Macross news:

http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36890

Don't expect to see any Bandai toy. Only the model department show stuff at Shizuoka.

Shown at 51st edition of the Shizuoka Hobby

The original IMAI page:

For some reasons, it seems like the Hikaru's VF-1S will have more tempo printing? Even the "No Steps" are all over the wings.....

Nah they just reused the photo from the original release:

http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1246

The reissued VF-1D promo photos also has "no step" marking on the wings. Do they have them painted on the actual product?

Wait whats the difference with the DYRL CF vs. TV? is the head slightly different? Is that the only difference? Also do i see a backpack hook on teh Vf-1S hikaru (ala a 1/48 design?).

Head and extra fixed pose hands are different between TV and DYRL versions. Paint job should be like this:

but we are probably not getting that. The hook is on all 1:60v2 VF-1, but unlike 1:48 you don't have to use it.

Edit: The 1:48 CF VF-1A was also missing the black strips, so Yamato is just sticking with their color scheme.

Just got my super pack - surprised to see a full set of stand adapters. Don't have any real trouble with the intake cover, other than they seems to slightly conflict with the fighter mode stand adapter. One of the missile cover like to pop out because the sliding part is a bit too tight.

New review from Gamu-toys, but his site is very very slow.

Better version of the test unit scan.

Shield should be mounted on the underside of the forearm.

No, this is not VF-11 or Nu Gundam.

V1-T (trainier) for 5000 Yen each is a good price???

Sound s like a 1:60v1 instead of 1:60v2. Mandarake know their market and would normally not sell a 1:60v2 VT-1 for so low.

doesn't the 1/72 model kit fast-packs come with the same dull grey crotch piece?

It got stickers for coloring the left and right side.
