MGREXX Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 (edited) In a post a few weeks ago, I asked what happened to the 1/60 scale Mk2 monster (from the Macross TV series) that Yamato was going to release last year. The general concensus was that Yamato scrapped the idea. Now I ask this........is there a conspiracy? Was the 1/60 MK2 monster scrapped in favor of the 1/100 scale VB-6 Konig? Did Yamato realize that the 1/60 scale Mk2 monster was just to big and too expensive of a toy to manufacture and did not relese it. I know a prototype existed because I saw pics here on MW.......and it was SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!! Anyhow, back to the conspiracy. Did Yamato kill the bulkier, bigger, non-transformable and more expensive (estimated +- $300.00) 1/60 scale Mk2 monster for the sleeker, smaller, transformable and less expensive ($150.00) 1/100 scale VB-6 Konig Monster? I lieu of the sudden dissapearance of the former, I believe that a conspiracy of Monstrous scale has transpired. I sure would have loved to have bought that big bad Mk2 monster. thoughts? .......hey, maybe Graham can give us some details since he is on a Yamato vengance crusade.

hirohawa Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 This should be Oliver Stone's next movie. Colin Ferrel can play the younger rebelious Konig Monster and Pacino can play the old Mark II Monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechatek Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Maybe Yamato has decided that they'll go with a 1/100 scale MkII Monster. So you can display it together with it's little bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechamaniac Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Actually, IIRC, Graham mentioned that the 1/60 Monster is still on. My guess for the 1/60th is that it will either never happen, or IF it does, I bet it will be a Dengeki Mail in Special like the Helmets and Shoulder Pads etc. It's already agreed upon that the thing is going to be spendy, I would say $300.00 is a very conservative estimate. So, I bet it turns out to be a Japan only exclusive if anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ido Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 What is that clip from? The Critic, I think. Yeah, from the episode "every doris has her day", Jay talk about a director's cut version of JFK with 2hrs of new footage ( 2 more hours of back and to the left!)

wolfx Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yamato has officially announced that the 1/60 Monster is indeed in the works, along with the 1/48 GBP Armour during Toyfest sometime last year. That's saying alot...compared to the elusive.... YF-19FP!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGREXX Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 (edited) Intresting. Since all of the sites I went to erased it from their pre-order or coming soon list, I thought it had been Axed, since the Konig came out of no whre soon after. Let's hope it still comes out. I want my Mac 2 monster (oops!!!! ) Edited January 10, 2005 by MGREXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
