ghiblione Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hi, does anyone know this SDF-1? It's not the yellowsubmarine SDF-1. But it's what? It can transform. slam_sdf_1_dyrl.01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 looks like one of our members (Kishimoto's?) customs off the taka 1/3000 scale. (same as Matchbox and recent bootlegs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghiblione Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 maybe someone repaint and reconstruct a Takatoku SDF-1? slam_sdf_1_dyrl.06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escaflown4 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 (edited) I'm surprised someone brought this up, but EXO is correct that it's Kishimoto's very first custom off the taka 1/3000 scale SDF-1. I bought it off him a few years ago on ebay and flooded this site with pics if anyone remembers back during the days when I was a moderator here. Anyways I still have this in my possession and I still think it's the best representation of the DYRL SDF-1 out of all the customs Kishimoto did. I also sent these pics to the valk factory to keep for archival. Unfortunately I could not capture most of the details with the digi cam. It just comes out mostly grey after the flash.

Escaflown4 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I forgot to mention that this also came in a well made customized box. Kishimoto did an outstanding job on this custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 It is definitely one fine custom. I don't think there was DYRL transformable SDF-1 toy made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 That thing is cool. I wish Yamato would make one... but then I think about how much $$$ it would be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I found these pics half year ago, I didn't know what it is, yesterday I just remember it again, so put it up here. It's a great surprise to me. What does Kishimoto do now? Does he have a site?

Die, Alien Scum! Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 They pop up on eBay every now and then. I don't recall the actual price, but I think it's somewhere around $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great surprise to me. What does Kishimoto do now? Does he have a site? I haven't spoken with Kishimoto ever since I bought the custom off him a few years ago. I remember facing heavy competition with Jerry (VF1-X) to those that remember him. As far as I know, Kishimoto does not have his own site. Lately, I have been thinking of selling this SDF-1 along with some other Macross valkyries to pay off my student loan. However, the more I look at the SDF-1, the more harder it is to part with. The details are simply amazing, but if I do decide to sell this, how many of you would be interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hevangel2 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Well... it depends on how much are you asking. If you want to sell it, you better sell it at the tax refund season where everyone has more disposable money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghiblione Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Me too, would like to know your price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escaflown4 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I'll be willing to let it go at the price I bought it for which is $450. This will include the custom made box and a detailed step by step transformation instruction manual book made by Kishimoto. If you need reference, I am on the straight shooter list and my ebay id is "Escaflown4". Link Here I have sold some Transformers and a bunch of comics and have received alot of positive feedbacks about how I package my items. My packaging style is pretty much bullet-proof.

ghiblione Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 wow... $450, it's high for me in these days. Maybe I couldn't realize it... But I really like to see more photos of it, also the custom made box and the instruction book, if Escaflown4 would put them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 i would also be interested in seeing some more pics of this work of art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know $450 sounds alot, but it's the price I paid for it back a few years ago and a deter for me to let it go at a loss. I think this SDF-1 is worth it tho. If you really like the it and want to discuss the price with me, you can email me at Escaflown4@earthlink.net. I'll see what I can do. I'm at my girlfriend's place right now, but I'll definitely post more pictures when I get home tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escaflown4 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thought we were talking about the SDF-1 here, but I wouldn't mind posting pics of my g/f that is if she doesn't try to kill me if she finds out. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Waitting for your pics. I assume SDF-1 since we should stay on topic. Well you could have your GF hold it while you take a picture of them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escaflown4 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Sorry, didn't get the chance to get some nice poses and pics of the SDF-1. I'll try to get them within a few days. In the meantime, here's a quick teaser pic I just took of the SDF-1 inside the custom made box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escaflown4 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Some of you might know about this, but to those that don't, I just listed this SDF-1 on ebay with massive amounts of new pictures. Ebay link Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
