Draykov Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Yamato will milk the 1/48 line as much as it can. Wishful thinking? Maybe. But we shall see. Which of the above would you be most likely to buy if it were released as a 1/48? Edited October 6, 2003 by Draykov
Draykov Posted October 6, 2003 Author Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) Hey, what about a VF-1D? I thought about putting that, a VT-1, and a VE-1...but I wanted to limit the poll to the most likely candidates. I think the VF-1D might give them design trouble (especially with the clamshell heat shield), and the VT-1/VE-1 might be too much to ask. I think it's much more likely that they'll release various versions of the existing molds. Edited October 6, 2003 by Draykov
UN Spacy Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I'm tired of seein the same ol' VF-1's. Been there. Done that (not that there's anything wrong with that). Yamato needs a breath of fresh air. I think the VF-4 is the perfect choice......... B)
Nightbat Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) Useless Fantasy Macross Poll, Your top pick of likely candidates. damn,.. and here I was thinking this was a "who's most responsible for the continueous lame What if...? polls"-Poll Edited October 6, 2003 by Nightbat®
ewilen Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 You're right, they are useless. Oh well. I voted for M&M as the most likely ones I'd buy out of that list. But since I'm not even planning on getting the 1/48 VF-1J Hikaru, I highly doubt I'll get a 1/48 M or M.
rsvictor1976 Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I would probobly buy them all if they came out. I was a bit late with my Macross toy collection and I'm now commited to collecting all the 1/48. The only ones I wouldn't buy is the VF-1J Hikaru without a FAST Pack since I would already buy the verion with FAST Pack. This includes any other future release where I have the option of buying one with armor and one without.
Omni Existence Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I'm tired of seein the same ol' VF-1's. Been there. Done that (not that there's anything wrong with that). Yamato needs a breath of fresh air. I think the VF-4 is the perfect choice......... B) VF-1's are still okay by me. I want to get my hands on whatever VF-1 I acn come across. Although, I would like to see them make a sleek and sexy Armoured VF-17 S/D in 1/60 scale. That would really make me happy!
Godzilla Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 M&M with the TV fast packs. I like them. Of course, the cannon fodder and vf-1A TV max would be cool too.
Uxi Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) I bet we see most, if not all. Well I'd be really surprised to see Kakizaki but think TV Max -1A could be possible. Max 1S in low production volume is extraordinarily simple as it's just a minor repaint of the head. Plus it doesn't look like poor ol Max is selling well... I could see Yamato maybe do a buy-back, a head swap, and then repackage. I'm kinda trying to play hard-ball to get a good deal at Frank & Sons (as well as watching ebay). B) But I think the Hikaru 1J is only a precursor to other TV valks, including Max and Milia and the CF, at least. Edited October 6, 2003 by Uxi
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 VF-19S, VF-19S, VF-19S, oh yeah a Kakizaki VF-1A. (DYRL Version) But I voted for the Max/Millia VF-1J
Draykov Posted October 6, 2003 Author Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) I'm tired of seein the same ol' VF-1's. Well, once they've released the VF-1J GPB armor in 1/48, they're gonna release a super-duper 1/32 VF-1A Hikaru (DYRL colors, of course). And then repeat the process until the 1/32 VE-1. Then we'll see a 1/24 uber-super-duper VF-1A Hikaru (DYRL)...then Yamato will buy Harmony Gold, Warner Brothers, and Bank One and we'll all become indentured crew members on the set of the Macross movie. Edited October 6, 2003 by Draykov
VF-18S Hornet Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 A 1/32 VF-1 Valkyrie would probaly cost $224.45. If tha's going to be the case I am not ging to get it I'm happy with my 1/48.
Uxi Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 A 1/32 VF-1 Valkyrie would probaly cost $224.45. If tha's going to be the case I am not ging to get it I'm happy with my 1/48. That's what they said when the 1/60 came out.
Radd Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I need a 'DYRL?' Kakazaki to finish off my Skull Squadron!
Manji Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) My pick would be a VF-1D also...Oh well... As far as the choices go...DYRL Kakizake (c'mon give the guy some love...it would be pretty bad if Toynami could go on record as being the only company to produce a Kakizake <_< ) *edit - spelling* Edited October 7, 2003 by Manji
kensei Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I'm tired of seein the same ol' VF-1's. Been there. Done that (not that there's anything wrong with that). Yamato needs a breath of fresh air. I think the VF-4 is the perfect choice......... B) Let them finish the VF-1 line first. Then let's move on to stuff like Flashback and Mac+! And for Graham, the Macross 7 line!
Weaseldancer Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I'd probably get them all being the completist that I am.
TheLoneWolf Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Max and Millia 1/48's are on the way. Do you think Yamato would spend money on a 1J head for Hikaru only?
mark-1s Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I say Yamato should just give us the GBP in 1/48 and call it a day. I'm personally getting tired of all the re-hashes, but at the same time can't stop buying whatever is released. "Collectors' bug" I guess! -1s.
kensei Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Voted for the Cannon Fodder. Are they gonna make a connon fodder? It wouln'd be too hard to do, so they just gotta! No Macross Line or collection is complete without CFs of the A type!
Draykov Posted October 8, 2003 Author Posted October 8, 2003 Are they gonna make a connon fodder? It wouln'd be too hard to do, so they just gotta! No Macross Line or collection is complete without CFs of the A type! I couldn't say for sure, I just put the Valks I thought had the best chance of getting made anytime soon on the list. If the enthusiasm for the 1/48 line stays at the level it is, I'm sure we'll see the "brown bull's-eye" at some point. I'm kinda surprised the Max VF-1S is gettin' no love to speak of.
Jolly Roger Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Probably all, if funds don't run out. But if I have only one choice, it's definitely M&M.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 if they didn't make Kakizaki's in 1/60 what makes you so sure they'll make it in the 1/48 scale? then again, it could be sold as a limited edition much like the low-vis...and same can go to all the other vf's you put up there
hellohikaru Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 I hope they released the TV Max/Miriya VF-1J together in a combo pack. Now that would be a good deal.
Graham Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Although I haven't heard anything from Yamato yet, my guess is that the 1/48 M&M with FP is probably a done deal. I mean, it makes good financial sense as Yamato already has the tooling for the VF-1J, so they might as well milk the molds more and release other color variations. Personally, I don't think a 1/48 VF-1A CF is likely as firstly the 1/60 CF was not such a hot seller after the initial 'Limited' hype blew over. Secondly, many fans are getting tired of DYRL stlye VF-1A and I doubt Yamato would be willing to invest money to sculpt a TV type VF-1A head. I also think a 1/48 VF-1D is unlikey as it would require resculpting of several parts and color variations are not possible to help recover costs. Even though people are getting a bit tired of the VF-1A, I strongly suspect that we may end up seeing a Kakizaki VF-1A 1/48 from Yamato as they included his stikers in the FP set. Graham
Rob Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 me wants the VF-2SS also. but if i have to choose from the ones above id choose the m&m 's as i still dont have any(yup the others escaped me) and offcourse if i have the funds. Hey graham is there any change that yamato makes this a giftpack? maybe then they will be just a tidbit cheaper to get.

Graham Great, now I can reenact the whole scene when Kakizaki dies. Hmm, I wonder how I should go about blowing up his valkyrie. <_< Edited October 8, 2003 by rsvictor1976
TheLoneWolf Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Good grief! A Max and Millia giftset with FP's? That box would be as big as the 1/60 Monster box!
