Desram Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Maybe I need to brush up on my search skills but I was unable to find any mention of this. Does anyone have any info on the yamato 1/100 scale vf-0D. Is this vaporware or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 The VF-0S is possibly coming out the end of summer, beginning of winter this year. Yamato has not said anything about this toy for quite a while, so your guess is as good as anyone elses. twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 There is no Yamato VF-0D toy. That is likely just a typo on Yamato's site. Yamato have so far only made sculpts that we know of, of a 1/100 VF-0S and VF-0A toys, which they have displayed at several Japanese toy and hobby shows. However, no new pics of the toys have been seen for about 4-5 months now, leading many peple to think the toy has been cancelled.

Desram Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 any idea why they would go with 1/100 scale anyways? Is the vf0 much larger than the vf1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 VF-1 14 meters and change VF-0 18 Meters and change so, a 1/60 VF-0S would be around the same length as a 1/48 VF-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 any idea why they would go with 1/100 scale anyways? Is the vf0 much larger than the vf1? I have it from reliable sources that the 1/100 Macross Zero toys were originally planned as a lower budget mass market line, which would proceed a larger scale perfect variable 'collector grade' line of Macross Zero toys to be released at a later date. This is basically analogous to the 1/60 & 1/48 VF-1 marketing, where you have the smaller, cheaper and generally crappier toy line released first and then after selling multiple variants you come out with a larger more detailed version, forcing fans to buy the same mecha (only better) all over again . Unfortunately, it looks like the 1/00 VF-0 toys may not even get a release, which does not bode well for any future collectors grade versions.

Guest Bromgrev Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Ah, it's difficult to get a good shine on 1:100, anyways ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 That's terrible. Even though I had no interest in the 1/100 scale VF-0, I'd love a larger scale collecters grade version. Be it 1/55, 1/60, or 1/48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 i've said this before but i'll say it again...possibly our last hope for any macross goodies is bandai...and we all know they won't do jack with their license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
