look what I did!

I'd buy 19 FP from someone who just wants a fold booster...

I hope so. I hate the green dildo, so I customized it to match the 25th aniversary YF-19 in hopes that someone wants it.

I wouldn't have jumped into doing this if I didn't break him first. Once his tailfins broke off, I said to hell with it. Now I'm thinking of doing my YF-21 when it finally arrives!

1/72 = sold 'em all!

1/60 = 8 pcs.

1/48 = 6 pcs.

I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but here's some pics of my airbrushed and weathered 1/48 VF-1J with GBP armor. I broke the backpack off this figure, so I decided to paint and glue the armor parts on permenantly, to make a sturdier action figure.

It took such a long time, I'm wondering whether I should sell it, just to help me pay for the upcoming YF-21 (and possibly a VF-11B)

well, I make 7 figures... and I commision robotics and aeronautics engineers to build fully functional valkyries... just kidding.

Seriously though, It's all priorities. I decided to only collect Macross Valkyries from Yamato (but I still kept my old Diaclones and Binaltechs). It came down to me realizing that, sure, 1 large Valk costs as much as 13 standard action figures, but what looks better on your desk? A handful of valks or hundreds of action figures. Another bonus is that your wife (girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever) will probably apreciate the less is more deal too (so long as you can convince them you're not spending any more money than normal)

If you mean the really large blocky ones, you're probably thinking of the ones that came with the GBP armor sets. All my valks have those hands on them now.

Is it just me, or is there a general consensus that Kaiyodo will be making some regults to go with this line? The old kaiyodo gashapon were almost the exact same proportions, and these revoltechs seem to be a bit smaller than the other Revoltechs. (Does anyone have comparison pics next to other Revoltechs?)

I took my 1/200 nichmo Scout and customized it onto a kaiyodo gashapon (you can see him in the back row). The detail on these models were great, but i like the exagerated proportions on the Kaiyodos, so it was a perfect marriage (of parts).

Just wanted to sahre an idea for a Macross Playset for Doyusha's and Kaiyodo gashapon. I was going to customize this motorized (with electronic lights and sounds) into a Prometheus from Macross, but I just don't have the time. If there's some good customizers out there you should take a crack at it. wouldn't be much work. I'll probably let mine go on an online auction if i get the time to list it.

You know guys, if you take the original version and just do a few details like paint the chest intake thingies, it looks pretty sharp.

I love my stealth more than all my other valks (waiting on the YF-21), because the design is classic and the colors are awesome. And with just a little customization, it looks way better: GBP armor hands, paint the eye translucent green, and touch up the shoulders and heat sheild.

Very cool. I love the Stealth VF-1J, have 3 of them. I'd so buy at least one Stealth Revoltech to go with them!

I've decided to list this one on ebay, but I'll definitely have to make myself another one.

I was bored with my VF-1J so I came up with this guy. Still thinking of whether I should keep it or sell it.

I use the hands that came with the 1/48 GBP armor for all my valks. I just painted them

Finally got my pair of SV-51's!

Dude! Those are awsome! Where did you get them? Are they still available somewhere?

They're the Kaiyodo gashapon from about 4 years ago. The scout is a custom I made out of a kaiyodo one and a nichimo model set.

Does anyone know where I can get a hold of this kit, or at least pics of this kit?

I never cared for the Glaug. Maybe is the color scheme, dunno.

I'm all for a Regult with all the accesories to make all the different versions including the Reckon Regult (I don't know it's official name, but I'm a sucker for reckon mecha). I'd buy multiple Regults to have all the versions on display if the price were reasonable.

I agree with you totally.

I'd buy multiple regults, but I wouldn't even care if the prices were reasonable. And knowing Yamato, does any one of us seriously think they'll make an affordable Regult? The price of the Mac Zero Ghost alone is about what most of you say you would pay for a Regult, and you know that'll never happen.

I'd be a sucker (when it comes to Yamato, I think I have battered wife syndrome, even though I'm a dude and Yamato and have never been married). I'd get multiple Regults, just like my mini set:

It's a nice match for the stealth valk. Would go nice next to any future non-canon black yf-21 (close to black vf-22 gamlin) that yamato might do in future and next to ivanov sv-51.

Yeah. I'm a sucker for semi-flat black. The Stealth VF-1J is my favorite (even though it never existed... as the other ones did in "reality"). I also prefer the Ivanov over the Nora Type, ad I would kill for a stealth black yf-21.

In order to make money for those future purchases, I might have to sell my 2 new custom armors on ebay too, but never the Stealth-1J

harry

I made a few of each so I could keep one, and i still have another set that I haven't put stickers on yet

weren't those armors on ebay recently?

Here are some of my latest customs: The low viz and stealth GBP armors and a custom Stealth VF-1J. The VF-1J just had some simple touches. I painted the shoulders, the eye lens and the heatsheild, but it looks way better IMO

did u repaint the monster....looks realy cool in black!!! great stuff!!!

yeah, the monster is a repaint in semi-flat black.

here's some pics from my collecton, but I've only included those that have been customized in some way (the GBP armors are on ebay right now)

OK all

I have a bunch of GBP armor sets for the 1/48 line and I was hoping for some help in ideas for customization. I'm going to do another stealth version (i'm thinking black and 2 shades of gray like the stealth vf-1j) but I haven't decided on any other possibilities. Any ideas? Also, you can PM me if you don't want to clutter the board.

I have my detailed Urban Camo GBP on ebay right now because I decided to attempt a batch of custom GBPs
