I did something truely awesome with my Revos yesterday. I swaped the heads of the 1J with the 1A! And they both look much better!

Gotto Lova those Revoltechs.

K, now I'm confused...

There are the kits which are 1/72? (Do they transform?)

Then there are the DX in 1/60? Which have die-cast.

Now is there another lot of toys in 1/72?

That 1A is too sweet! But I'm still too scared of that white plastic turning yellow... I keep my hopes in a grey, blue or red 1J...

It's by no means bad at all. But when you look at the rest of his galleries (http://www.geocities.jp/climax_f/ Just click around you'll find em) you'll see that he tends to push his figures and Gunpla to the limits of their posability. If this is the best he can do with GNU YF-19, it just doesn't wow me as much as Revoltechs do.

Ditto...

The new 1/60 doe's it for me. More crisp and sharper in detail, and better proportions.

Though anyone else find the chest slightly too wide.

Mr March, ditto on your last three replies.

I will also add that if the Gn-U only need a base to have great poses, then why even without a base they still feel short against the Revo's without a base? LOL

Anyway, as I said I have nothing against the GN-U. Though I wish people's opinions towards the Revoltechs would not be so Anti without any visible constructive reasoning, because of their close affiliation or biased view with the Yamato company...

For me articulation in a toy and mulitple dynamic poses are of the outmost importance, hence my preference for the Revoltechs. Cause if I just wanted a stiff pose, and a pretty finish at a higher price, then I would be buying and building kits...

Revoltechs are toys, are they achieve that better than anyone else at this scale and price range.

Would I buy a GN-U? If they were cheaper and included a base, I probably would. But then again it's Yamato, who did a great job in making me buy expensive 1/48 that turn yellow, and have a fragility of a crystal egg. LOL ... But I will still buy their new 1/60 as they're the best in that scale, and as above my passion in toys, I love Macross.

IMO the Revy YF-19 face has a really squashed look to it.

If posed just right on the stands, the Revy's can look OK, but in standing pooses next to the GN-U's they just looked deformed IMO.

LOL... I totally disagree.

While I feel both makes have their pros and cons, I feel the revoltech version has much more of a stronger pose, regardless standing or fligging it's gunpod in the air.

The GN-U feel too stiff in any pose, like a late 90's figure, or a 80's Gundam kit. IMO

I like the technology in the GN-U, but the sculpt's capabilities are weak and rigid compared to the Revoltech.

Sheryl everyday. A woman that's beautiful, clever, doesn't whine like a child, doesn't measure her man's wallet, and knows what she wants is rare!

I really want to like them. I'm pleased with the non usage of PVC.

But...

Something about them that makes them appear a bit too static and stiff in poses.

Yeah, they appear to be better in the paint jobs compared to the Vf-1 Revos, but the Regult Revo is better over both in the paint IMO.

I'll probably go for one of this 'mini Yamys' if the Zero and Frontier lines are made?

And yes, I concur, no more VF-1's.

So this is wave 1? Any word on whats wave 2?

I really wish japanese Toy Companies would annouce the whole year's release line-up like the Western companies.

Is Bandai thus far the only one with the rights in making the Frontier Valks?

Only the 1J Valks me. With the GRAN hope that the VF-1j Hikaru will be in grey plastic! Not white. Grey! Please Yamato, my 1/48 1J looks pathetic is it's evolving yellowing of cheat white plastic!

I've decided. I'll hold out longer for the 0D.

Question...

What is the reasoning in dropping the 1J as Hikaru's Valk in DYRL?

I mean it is pretty iconic for the whole Macross saga?

Hmmm, if Bandai is making 1/100, then there's hope we're getting Fix-Figuration type of figures.

K, but now I'm a bit confused with those images. The grey prototype transforming is the DX?

And then I've seen some coloured ones of Alto, is that the kit or the 1/100?

I'm so hoping for a later release of a Milia. Saying that cause by Kaiyodo tradition they tend to re-release exclusives on a more mass market. As per the Trigun lines, Bomes, and etc...

Hoping for some Vf-0's and Qauds next.

Well. I was gonna order the Shin with Ghost, but now I'm having second thoughts...

Is there any word, or the slightiest of suggestion that maybe by 2078 Yamato will make a VF-0D?

No but seriously, is there hope for 0D this year?

We have seen cad or lineart of a VF-1A head, so it could very well be a Hikaru 1A or hopefully Max 1A (DYRL? i guess)

I'm hoping it's the max DYRL? VF-1A, or we might even be lucky for a CF-1A (cannon fodder).

I doubt Graham can say anything (yamato gag order), we rely on our scoop masters or from magazines/hobby shows.

Cool thanx... Yeah I understand...

Damn a 1A... ??? Not that I dislike it or anything, but I'm too much of a 1J Fanboy...

Where are the plastic pins located?

I got two SOC's eva 01 & 02). I'd like o know what your talking about so i'm careful.

Spec Eva 01 at the hips... Too scared to buy anymore from there...

I've been collecting Kaiyodo products for years, and the VF1's Revo qaulity finish is not to the standard of their other products!

They are great toys, great sculpts, better looking than those Yamato's, but the paint finishing is sloppy. However with that said, the Regult's are impressive, but mine have loose joints on the hips. Anyone else with this prob?

With that said, I still plan to buy more Revo's and strengthen my Regult army until the Qauds arrive.

Can anyone slap a link to where I can download art, wallpaper, and official images of Frontier please?

Thanx...

Big concern here for me, is it's first release will always have faults of tiny plastic pins break. AKA the Evangelion SOC were famous for this...

Graham, I have a couple of questions.

Firstly can we expect 1A and 1J next and within this year?

Secondly, will a future 1J be in a light grey plastic? I'm still rather upset my 1/48 1J yellowed... and is never in contact with any form of sun light...

Thanks and latero...

Well it's taken these Revoltechs and news of the new 1/60 to bring me back this part of the world.

Anyway, I can agree that the qaulity of the VF1 Revo's is not great, but the Regult are top notch. However anyone else having issues with slightly too loose hip joints on the Regults?

Also while browsing other forums, the Miriya VF1J might be offered later on through retail? Any confirmation on this?

Thanks.

I remember about over a year ago Graham said there could have been the possibility of the VF-2S from Macross II by Yamato... Any one knowing if this will be... ???

Been ages since I've seen that Valk mentioned here...

Hey Graham, how about your grand wise imput over here...

PS- Kaos, cheers no problemo... And enjoy those 1/48...
