VF-19 1/100 at $60
YF-19 1/60 at $200
The fire valk doesn't really seem disproportionately expensive when compared to it's bretheren.
Or even better,
F-22 1/1 at $143,000,000
... and those don't come with any optional hands at all, though they did think to fit them with integrated landing gear.

variation of the VF-19kai Fire Valkyrie
<snip>
Blazer Valkyrie
<snip>
Macross Plus...
The prospect of a VF-19/VF-19S/YF-19 trio display just gave me inappropriate thoughts.
I think I might order the Fire Valk after all.

Is this a bad photo or does the face really sit that low? It looks like a good portion of the face is obscured by the chest?
It's doing the Yamaguchi-style "crotch thrust out, shoulder back, chest up, face looking down" pose.
If you follow the links people have posted you can see plenty of photos that show what the actual toy looks and doesn't look like.

I would say to the new fans that the MF design is cluttered and amateur by comparison - and they would tell me the original is dated and totally 80's I suppose . . .
I would say they're both quite accurate statements

Looks like one of the first blog reviews is up:
-
we have hit originality their has never been a fire fight in any Macross that I know of.
Original criticism do not steal!
-
Joking and mockery aside, I still want at least one of these toys so I can have something deliciously bad and swooshable without worrying about breaking something expensive.
Wonder how long it'll take for these to reach ebay.

This is not the greatest show in the world, no... this is a tribute.
Couldn't remember the greatest show in the world, no, no! This is a tribute!
This is a tribute, you gotta believe. Oh I wish you were there. It's just a matter of opinion. Aw yeah.
AHEM.
Anyway, supporting evil empires or not, I think I might have to get at least one of these little guys as a curiosity; perhaps a purple one. Because if you're going to get something gaudy and atrocious looking, you may as well go all-out, right?
-
Wholly F*! They have a huge line with even "normal" and "deluxe" versions!

DEFINITELY wasting no time... although it's a pity they didn't take longer because the toys are pretty rough around the edges.
Still, it'd be neat to get one of the bigger ones as a curiosity.
EDIT: Especially since, if I'm not wrong, at 65 yuan that makes the larger toys ... right around $10.

oh geez
NO THEY TOTLLY DO ALRIGHT?!

SD Ingram 1, this one is hard to resist.
Preordered, going to pick up no questions asked. I'm entranced with the recent SD figures coming out (SDX, ES gokins, etc...) so this is a total no brainer
-
well they look better engineered than the VF-25 DX's
Of course they do.
-
looks like the tailfin is supposed to split in two when the backpack folds up but it might not do that on the toy.
Nah, there's a clear seam down the center of the fin visible in the fighter photo, and hinges at the base, too. For some reason in the notwalk mode they just folded the fin to one side instead of splitting it.
The toy looks pretty big, actually. I'm curious to see it in nottroid mode. There's a different deco version in the background of the fighter pic, too, with yellow striping.
-
As a side note: hooray for original bootleg toys!
As a disappointed note:
We finally get a delta-winged "valkyrie" and ... it's this? Come on, Yamato. Pick up the slack, here. I can't wait for a 0D forever.
-
LOL.... YOU FOOLS! You pulled too hard transforming your toy. That's why it was broken in the box before you handled it!
Even the replacement arms I was sent, that were never put on a valk, were broken. Shove that in your "it's how you transform the toy" pipe and smoke it.
Intent is 9/10ths of the law. Since you were intending to transform it wrong, it pre-emptively broke itself to save time.
-
Wow. I'm flabbergasted. For one thing, Yamato must have been really sitting on a mountain of unsold VF-1J inventory to pull a stunt like that. For another, to just pop a bunch of old, known problematic merchandise into a new set... just ... flabbergasted, really.

hey i got my macross quarter yesterday. Its great. although i did not get an artbook. Can someone tell me if i'm missing anything if i don't have an art book. is the artbook even worth it?
thanks
It's only about 6 pages, and while the drawings are kind of neat it's nothing groundbreaking or critical, I don't think.
After glancing through mine I put it back in its little plastic wrapper and popped it in the Quarter box.
-
Unless they did an overrun of like 5-10k VF-1J's on their initial production there's no way these are back stock valks. The added costs of pulling figures out of existing packaging, repainting, and repackaging them would make that kind of practice anathema.
No, it's more likely a case (same with the old crotch lock) that the physical assembly design specs for the J were never updated for this new production, so they went right back to building it the way they were originally told when it was first made. They got new painting data, but for the rest were probably told "it's the same as before".
-
I thought this was the thread for the unpainted valk since it's a non-canon valk. The only other thread I could find with a title regarding the unpainted valk only had a few comments, one of which instructing people to use this thread.
Anyway, thanks for the info. Hopefully people will start getting theirs soon so we can see some pics.
I'm being helpful!
No painted canopy:

The clear answer is that you should build a Fast-packed Getter-O-Raiser.

how big is this figure and is it posable
Not poseable, no, and not really a figure either since it's a fixed pose resin kit that needs ludicrous amounts of paint and assembly. I don't have that exact one (I have the V3 with the bow, still waiting for me to put the damn thing together), but it's fairly tall... about 10" if my memory serves.
-
Completely unrelated to any of the discussions currently going on: the SOC Spec Dragonar and Falguen are beyond excellent. I would rate them among my top 10 toys of all time.
Nice diecast inner frames, excellent fit and finish, immaculate paint detailing, and just the right amount of accessories and poseability to make them near-ideal toys for both the display case and the desk as handling-fodder.

No, it's true! Just look at the tray of parts, they only include connectors! WTF, right?
Hee. Anyway. The base used is the Tamashii Stage3 base, they come in a 3-pack for about $14 and are pretty nice overall display bases. Great for Robot Damashii figs, revoltechs, and other smaller toys. I wouldn't try to use 'em for a 1/60 or anything, but they're quite versatile overall.
