Here is my current Frontier 1/60 Valk display... still a WIP though, not entirely satisfied with the positioning and poses... but the damn joints are so loose they are really hard to pose : Another view:

Maybe some merchandising rights.... but not the rights to make the toys.... yet.

Please don't let this faceplate or whatever-happened-to-the-face-after-it-gets-jizzed-by-the-whale issue degenerate into another silly argument. Bottom line. The "clean" VF-19P should not come with any face, period. Whether later down the road the red 19P gets an exclusive or gets a face or not, that is totally not a concern of mine. Totally do not care for it.

QFT

This picture was from many years ago....

Those focus on the VF-1 kits are not... the VF-1s. look at the pictures carefully: You have the Ko-Millia baby Pod, Battroid mode side-covers and the elevated pilot seat under the neck.

The point was: There is a character tied to the CF 27, in this case Grace, who is pretty substantial to the plot. So the point still stays, if purely cannon fodder with no character tied to it.

When I saw the Regult as part of the promotional banner, i was pretty excited, but turned out to be a measly 10% off...

Likewise

Very nice! I especially like how you used different forced perspectives. I can imagine those pictures as images used on posters

Yes, in Graham's mobile. He was challenging people to break into his phone... Lol

that looks pretty much like my room Except mine is a little more messy

Nice! Thanks for the tips!

Good job on the interview!

Re-do the 27? Isn't that where the improvements started and generally people are happy with them?

Nice!

Looks good. Might be picking one up, but I'll have to read the reviews to see if its worth it to pick one up

The discussion is not whether there should be landing gear: We all agree there is a need for landing gear. However, the difference is about whether they should be integrated. What you are suggesting is somewhat akin to saying: Since you guys don't transform your valks regularly anyway, why don't Yamato simply sell non-transformable VF in each of the 3 modes in a package, might be more convenient since it takes the hassle out of transforming them. Simply swap the display piece in the desired mode when you feel like "transforming" them. While this might not be wrong. but this doesn't really sound acceptable does it? Likewise with the pop-off landing gear. Just personally, I think having the reaction missle bays is as necessary as the Yamato V2 VF-1 having the small robotic repair arms coming out of its forearms, whereas having integrated landing gear is as important as having a correct Roy figure sitting in the cockpit of his signature valk(s). Anyway, we are all entitled to our opinions but i think it just just plain rude to call whoever who doesn't agree with you here pussies.

I disagree. I think proper integrated landing gears are critical to the 1/60 Valkyrie toys and is a hygiene factor as far as satisfaction in the line, or the particular valk is concerned. Landing gear was always meant to be part of the valk in the series, even though it wasn't used much in the case of Macross 7 valks. Not having it integrated makes the toy incomplete in my opinion.

As far as valks afe concerned, Yamato use 1/60 scale almost exclusively ever since the release of the macross 0 stuff. Bandai produces in 1/60 for their dx chogokin line and also 1/100 as well for their hi metal line You might want to checked the pinned thread chronicling the release dates for the valks and their scales too.

got mime yesterday, but will have no time for it til later in the week. Really fast shipping too! Paid last Friday, shipped Saturday and got it Monday
