Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0

I too wanted a military low vi VF-1D since it reminds me of VF-101m Grim Reapers tomcats. Not to mention I love 2 seaters.

i bet they could make a low vis Vf-J> With Tv hands and a inverted black skull to make it REALLY low viz! That would be awesome almost likea VF-101 Grim reapers F-14 Tomcat. Would it sell well? I bet your ass it would!

if he decides to make a VF-1 redesign, cool. As long as its not too out there like the macross 7 sound force valks. Loook what they did to the excalibur! I would much rather have him design them on par with a US teen fighter look. Macross 7 was too out there for me.

whos to say it will be pheneomally expensive? A lot of you dont remember that a the Qrau is cheaper then a 1/48 VF-1 yet a lot bigger. Not to mention the trasnformation mechanism on a 1/48 would make the size big enough for DURABle swing bars and at the same time make it easier to hide them somewhere. I am not saying it will be cheap But i tend to think it wont cost a whole lot more than the VF-1. Its transfromation is simpler.......has swing bars(easy to implement on a big toy and easy t hide as well and be durable), no internal heat shield just poop up and slide down over cockpit, and everything else is relatively the same., The transformation is EXACTLY like the 1/55 takatoku valk series with the exception of the swing bars on the potentially larger VF-0 hidden in both modes and the chest popping up and sliding down. that does not seem that hard at all and with yamato wantin to make a big name for itself and with the series fresh and still not done it would be a great idea to throw a FEW select fan fave 0 toys into 1/48 scale. I trust the transformation is always the hardest thing to figure out when designing a variable fighter toy but for yamato it shouldn't be that hard...especially with a big chunk of plastic to work with. So in many ways the irony is that it might be super easy for them to design and cheaper as well. Who knows its wishful thinking on my part but i drool for a VF-0.

eaxctly hurin exactly.....................Thank god you said that. We all know how big the thing will be why cant peolpe understand we like big robot toys? Noone complained about the freaking jumbo machines in the 7s and kids brought them to school~\!

naw an F-16 is the size of a VF-1. VF-0 is closer to a F-14 Tomcat's size. I believe the SV-51 would be close to S-37 Berkut size which is by far the largest fighter to be made in the last 10 yrs...actually its a technolog demonstrator but you get the point. OH i dont have the battroid measurements...every site i went to only had the legneth in fighter mode =(. You all knwo my vote. pwerfect transformation and BIG. 1/60+ 1/48 would be nice but hey as long as its perfect transformable kick ass

imode you rock! see i evben brought up the notion of 1/100=everything in mac0 and 1/48 =sel;ect ferw fan faves yet in the other thread i am labeled as a 1/48 tag along i want everyting in 1/48 including the world and everything in it not to mention sdf-1 in 1/487 scale AWESOME member! yes in a perfect world 1/60 and 1/48 would be excellent. Hopefully then we wouldnt have people saying" oh no 1/60 is too big...." since it would be the SMALLEST size available.

hey whta about height in battroid mode?

well to me not only is it biger than a Vf-1 but it LOOKS in some ways BETTER to me. Now of course VF-1 will always be my fav design btu VF-0 is jsut forking beautiful. Its like bridging the gap......still like aconventional jet powered engine and trasnformable.. F-14 VF-0 VF-1 get me? its lke inbetween. its also awesome.

that happened last year. Not like its gonna change just MORE stuff to buy.

we got the money so we also got the love!(actualyl i dont but like i siad time an time again i would starve for a 0..yea id be able to afofrd it but not any other toy for a dfew months but i love it!) Noone EVER said 1/48 was going to be the main line! I thought everyone knew that? its a collectors line high end that happens to be selling real well. A lot of us big robot fans are just clamoring for a 1/48 Vf-0 because 1-big robot toys kick ass 2-no excuse NOT to implement perfect trasnfromation 3-in scale with cream of the crop....1.,48 VF-1` 4-obviously more detailed than 1/100 I am sur ethe 1/100 line will include every variant possible. Hell maybe they will make that the cheap line. then a 1/72 to make a middleroad 6800 yen price range. then make a 1/48 line of MAcross 0 toys. 1/100 line has most selection., 1/72 narrows selection down 1/48 only has one of each variant.

maybe they are competing with tbhose char helmets that came out a few months back. But in truth I think these would look ridiculous on a bike rider.

and whos to say the price wont be the same as the 1/48 VF-1? Some of us want it in scale with teh 1/48 Vf-1. Look at the 1/60 qrau..freaking behemoth yet it costs less then the VF-1 1/48. Aint nothing wrong with hopeful wishing. I wouldnt buy the helmet thats too much. If you all have the same mentality for the Vf-0 than thats str8 hell we dont even know what scale the damn thing would be if its made in a higher end edition. Above all else I want perfect trasnfromation. Now that in fact is not too much to ask. If its 1/60 or 1/72 cool its still big. 1/48 makes it even more appealking. dont take it like im whining Im just saying itd be nice and yamato CAN do it. Whatever they choose as long as its perfect tranmsfromation I will buy it. I personally would love to shell out a lot for the thing as it happens to be one of myt favorite designs. Sure its big for 1/48 but i guess a handful of us including me would still want it in that scale. BUt like i said perfect trasnformation above all..give me that and i wouldnt give a damn what scale it is.

i remember graham saying there was a handful of releases for the 1;60 line and after that it was basically dead. I am guessing at the time there were 3 known"Vf-1 something, monster and qrau" and the rest were the GPS1 and armor add on pack stand alone set. YOu guys gotta realize the benefits of a 1/48 VF-0. it would be a lot EASIER to make perfect trasnformation in a 1/48 since its got more space for yamato to work with...1/72 only com,plicates this matter as yamato tries to figure out hwo the hell to make the trasnformation in a smaller toy. small no not SMALL i said smaller scale. and the poll resultws speak for themselves more people wnat this damn thing in 1./48. Imode hve the japanese BBS done a similar poll?Any of them bitching for a big ass 0 like i am? Also in this case bigger IS better.

Hmm now that i think about it the trasnformation as i noted above isnt really all that complex over the Vf-1...yamato just has to figure out what to do with the swing bars. and thats it. BY how ASTRONOMICALLY huge a lot of you thinkit is..the swing bars can be implemented and be durable at the same time. since in a sense they would be HUGE enough to be durable yet hidden. at 1/72 scale something the lieks of the 1./48 trasnformation has to be done.

nope im prepared to shell out 150-170$ for a 1/48 VF-0.

ya that 1/72 VF-0 hasegawa./...i remember when graham showed the comparison scan from hobby japan...thas be a big bastadd. AWESOME. Hey 1/72 or 1/48 hell 1/55..as long as its perfect trassncformable and big kick ass!

nope 1/48 holds gun just fine. plus ur comparing 2 totally different mecha and toylines

yea really guys COME ON! It probably wouldnt cost as much as you think! The transformation is relatively similar to the VF-1 and the internal heatshield is not internal on this one its merely slides down with the chest! Not to meniton at 1/48 scale do you know how much detail yamato would cram into the damn thing>? I know i said before im down with anytyhing perfect transformable but i think at 1/48 its the cream of the crop and i see nothing wrong with it. Watch i bet if it comes out we will all stop bitching nad unify in drooling. Not to mention i mean come on i think at most itll be 17000 yen.

if they make a 1/48 Vf-0 most of the work is already done for them... there is no need to figure out "oh how in hell do we make a chestshield internally and make the chestplate flat with the fuesalage unlike on the bandais? hmmm" the chest this time merely has to be pushed up and slid down over the canopy. The only potential obstacles I fear are the swing bars shown in the anime,. yamato sort of broke rules with the 1.48 but in the end in battroid mode, the leg and hip joints are accurate to the line art...sure the swing bar on the Vf-1 implemented on the 1/48 toy never existed in kawamoris original linearts but does anyone care? most likely no since THe result is the most accurate Vf-1 toy not to mention thee best aesthetically. I have a feeling the Vf-0 swing bar system for the potential 1/48 toy is actually a piece of cake for yamato. If they make it 1/48 scale now that i saw how HUGE the thing is compared to a VF-1...I dont think we have to worry about THING Swing bars. If anything they might be the only diecast pieces on the toy and for that matter on a 1/48 scale toy they would be pretty thick. ANd knowing yamato, hidden as well. The swing bars i feel can be done canon wise on a 1/48 toy VF-0 toy with no compromises...the size lets it be done. Everything else like the arms and such and the backpack transform exactly like the VF-1. If they make a removeable nose cone for radar maybe they can make 2 nose cones...one short and one long..in other words for those who are anal on accuracy one for battroid if you wish and one for fighter. With the amount of money yamato will potentially get form the 1/100 line and the sales of the already successful Vf-1 /60 and 1/48 lines, I am sure yamato has enough cashflow to makea 1/48 full variable 1/48 at a decent price(150-170$). The argument of being too costly is almost out the window since its not catered to children...after all who was the dancougar catered to kids? nope adults my friends people our age.

though i preach 1.48....as lonmg as the toy is big and has perfect trasnformation later on then word i shall buy. I am a college student too i know that my buys have to be very very selevctive btu i would shel out for a 0. its jsust so awesome of a design

hell they migh even make one in 1.55 scale to piss bandai off. NOw that i think about that, that would be pretty cool. Stand alone V f-0 big enough for people lke me mechamaniac and blaine, and at the same time can fit in with chunky monkeys! it would also be awesome if bandai contered by making a VF-0 in 1/48 scale., let the competition begin!

actually no dude i have beebn presistently wanting that damn thing in 1;/48 but it turns out we are in the minority...mostly evertyoine is scared this thing will be too big or something. Hell even if it was i dont imagine it being over 200$...i am thinking more lke 150$

graham that would ROCK in 1/48 scale. Definitely not the suck! however i am primarily perfect trasnfromation so as long as its big and can transform with no swapping than thats cool with me.

guys i can understand you guys saying "oh this thing woul be huge in a biger scale etc etc" but in reality thats what most of us want! If yamatos CEo can say "hey lets makea big ass monster in 1/100 scale..o wauit freak iut lets make it 1/60!" and lave his workers saying "wtf?" and then hee says "no it shall be done!" and then froating head comes out of nowhere and satys the same thing...and price it at 45000 yen...and thenn makea 1/60 qrau bigger than a 1/48 VF-1...can you guys really think its IMPOSSIBLE to makea Vf-0 in 1/48 scale? Its jsut length guys! Its LONGER in fighter a little wider and a bit taller thna teh Vf-1 in scale...but come on! Its not a giant like you all think! Hell I think it can be done. For me screw 1/600if they make it perfect transformation in that scale its a must buy but i really see no reason why they CANT make the jump to 1/48. The only thing TOO big for that scale is an SDF-1. come on people if we can accept a qrau and a monsterous monster why not a 1/48 VF-0?
