vf 2ss 1/60

If we ever live long enough!!! If people has more respect or love for Macross II. we would have a lot more VF-2SS products!!

Welcome to Macross World!! Your a lucky man!! We should all live long enough to have GF's or wives who are that into Macross as well!! Any pictures of yoru combined collections? Take care Bro!!

Hey Hikuro, sorry to hear that bro, I've had that happen a few times to me as well, you wish you could take the people who create these viruses and flush them out an airlock!!

Well I hope things work out for you with the new Macross Zero episodes, Keep up the hard work! I'll be one of the 1st to watch them and give you a thumbs up!!

Not yet. I'll post some pics over the next couple of days. Though now it looks like I won't get the SD finished before I head back to work, it should only take a couple of weeks after that though.

We'll be waiting!!!

Macross Zero models that are either variable in 1/72 scale or at least other modes besides the Fighter. A VF-0D, 0C, 0A, 0S and 0B in Gerwalk mode would be awesome. Especially a 1/72 VF-0D. All by Hasegawa since their models are super detailed!!!

These 1/72 figures are fantastic!! may have to get a few!!

Misa! Misa! Misa!!!!!!

Since this thread opened, I've tried to vote and yet it is so hard to decide which is the better one.... I know its an evil curse word here, But I originally grew up watching the Macross saga of Robotech. (I warned you of foul language) and that was in 1985, that same year I got to see Macross DYRL. And in one short year my eyes exploded, my mind opened and forever a connection was formed to these Characters. Though the story lines of RT and Macross are apples & oranges, Its still Hikaru, Misa, Minmey, SDF-1 and the rest of the cast. You still go through their adventures, triumphs, struggles and losses. For an anime series, either way its an emotional ride. And is still my all time favorite series. And yes I own both RT & MACROSS TV series on DVD. Every time I watch them, immediately I am back in time to 1985 as a child and still amazed by what I see, its that powerful for me. Though the animation can be rough at times or pure amazing, its something to behold. And nothing in my opinion has reached such a level.

Then we have the Macross DYRL movie. How many ways can we say Wow, Holy Sh_t that was awesome!! Between the redesigned uniforms, everyone is part of Skull squadron, the new style of the SDF-1, everything is just even more amazing, special and deeper than before. The story is good, not as in depth as the series, but hey its only 2 hrs long, not 36 episodes.... The CGI, the music and of course Minmey's love song in the final battle are just true brilliance. Its all more than words can describe, however if you have not ever watched the original TV series, and this is just my thought, may not be yours. The MACROSS movie is impressive, but lacks the energy if you have never seen the series 1st. Its the connection we make with these characters that bonds us forever. They are anime characters yes, but after watching the whole series start to finish, they become more than anime figures.... its as if they are people we have come to know, respect & care about. Not many anime series can accomplish that. But either the TV series or DYRL are equally emotional.

Sorry for the long ramble, but Macross is very very special to me.

I've been following Macross for ever & ever, well since 1985. But I still learn new things about the galaxy everyday. Amazing to know that many fleets are out there!!!

Holy cow!! Are there really 55 different colony fleets!!?? Thats a lot. Although is 55 based on the series or does that also include the Alternate universes & video game time lines. Either good luck on your project, will be interesting to see it when its done!!

I think the VF-4 is amazing in Fighter mode, Its gerwalk mode is ok, but I must agree that the Battroid is not one of my favorites though. If they make a 1/60 I want it mostly for the fighter mode. But its fully variable.... even better!!

I always wondered since you only see the VF-4 for like 10 whole seconds in FB 2012, was it ever even ORIGINALLY designed to transform, or was that a later thought/concept on how it could be made as a variable Valkyrie?

I dunno, No Step stickers are not so bad, half the fun is finding the missing dropped one! (check under shoe first)

Its the first place I always check!!

Hey Hikuro, I noticed you took all of the Macross Zero episode 1 clips, will you be releasing them again to watch until the others are finished. Its the best way to enjoy Mac Zero for me, its better than my #^#&@*!! subbed dvd's.

Hope all your other projects are going well!! take it easy!!

Thats awesome. I did one of my VF-0B's as a MARINE squadron and the other in a F-14 VF-2 Bounty Hunters color scheme!! Although I need to get some weapons kits (missiles & bombs) for them!! I have the pictures some where.....

Thats a bummer, those are a pain to apply. Oh well, its still an a amazing looking VF-1A. My Book shelf will have it one day. Thanks for the info guys!!!

glaugs and regults in 1/60 scale please Yamato!

You never know, just a few weeks ago, most agreed that a TV version of a Max VF-1A may never happen, Now there will all 3 of his combat Valks made. So with that in mind & 1/60 being the scale from now on. I'd say that Enemy mecha is on the way, sooner than we think I would say!!!

1/60 VF-2SS + SAP for the WIN!

ohh sorry,

VF-4 ftw!!

If they ever make a 1/60 VF-2SS + the SAP, I'll die a happy man!!!!!!!!

And yes, Come on Yamato, make the VF-4!!!!!! You know you want too!! The VF-4 is like Grace Park from BattleStar Galactica, simple, awesome & sexy all rolled into one!!! VF-4 leads the way!!

One question/comment. Kind of a dumb one maybe, but i do not have any of the 1/60 v.2 valks yet.... waiting for the VF-1D. Are the NO STEP markings & UN Spacy logo stickers or are they tampo printed on? I got lost in the old thread, Thought I'd try here.

I was curious cause the makings on Max's VF-1A here do not look like stickers.

See i was right, On the older thread i made the comment that Yamato would do the other Max Valkyries, and though I was told NOT to hold my breath.... The air is sweet!! An affordable VF-1A TV series max, that is too sweet. This switch to all 1/60 is paying off!!!!

I Hope the Spartan is next, that was always my favorite design. Just think, for once a Spartan toy with working missile bays, its gonna be sweet!!

I'd rather have the VF-4G from Macross M3, and the VF-14 from that game, and the VF-3000 and the variable glaug wouldn't be bad either...

who has the licence for that game anyways?

:edit: and just to be really rediculous, I'd also like a stampede Valkyrie

Are there any major differences between the VF-4 & the VF-4G? Any pics? As to Macross M3, I think Yamato could or has the licensing to that, I might be mistaken though....

What I'd really like to get is the VF-22 M&M set from M7. That would be bad @$$!!

Now your talking!!! Although Bandai holds the licensing to Macross 7, So it would be Bandai making them, Not yamato.....

However, we should stay on topic with the VF-11B. But good choice!!

Mine is shipping from HLJ as we speak. As soon as it arrives I'll post the box art some pics of the contents

-John

Well John, when you get this kit, keep us posted with WIP pictures, and your opinion. My wallet is on strike right now, but the VF-0C is a definite on my list. Also get the VF-0B if you don't have one yet, I have 3, their amazing!!

I like this look more than their other newer Mac 0 kits. I'd rather have an 0A rerelease though.

Well your wish is coming true as the VF-0A 1/72 kit will be available next month though www.hlj.com!!!

Lovely.

It's a shame this was never made in larger numbers.

The bigger shame is that it probably never will be, since its from Macross II, not many have love for that chapter of Macross, Not the very best animation scenes at times. But the mecha designs were amazing and the VF-2SS & VF-2JA are proof of that!!!
