NSJ23 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Since it appears that Yamato has not given up on Macross and are even making more Macross Zero Valks and are going to finally release a new YF-19. Do you guys think there is any small chance that they might try and release a Transformable DYRL or TV SDF-1 Macross? I know it's on a lot of fans want list and hell they are going to release a Angel Birds VF-1A so IMO anything is possible. Sorry, I have been away for awhile and the new releases have me hoping for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermillion21 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I hope so and would love to have an SDF-1, problem is - Yamato would only be able to milk the mold twice (Macross and DYRL versions) ... so I doubt they'll make it. A shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw these marvel toys with the regular figure and a PART of a much bigger Galactus figure with it as well that you can put together... Collect them all and you got yourself a huge Galactus~ It was one of those Guiness "BRILLIANT!" moments. Eventually I came to the realization that although it would be cool, that 1, yamato is not anywhere near as generous, and 2, most of the 1/48 are already out.... and their rate of production is no more than 2 at a time so... Sigh.... One thing is clear for me though.... if they're making one, I atleast want it to be around twice the height of a battroid 1/48.... and something like that'll cost an arm and a leg...

D_Unit Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I missed a chance to purchace a 1/3000 sdf-1 complete in a box from a Collector's store 10 years ago for $80 US. Would love to get a Yamato version at any scale. But not at any price... to me, unless it's a size of a room (impossible), it's just one big non-articulate brick (too much BRICK trauma from collecting Transformers, old & new).

Graham Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Sorry to burst everybody's bubble, but I currently know of no plans to make an SDF-1. Or if there are plans, they haven't told me. Lots of other great stuff tho. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent-GHQ Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) I believe at this point, anything is possible.

glane21 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 If they don't make a DYRL SDF-1 then they're really missing an easy win in my opinion. It would sell big and the xformation is quite simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Has anyone ever made a good SDF1 toy ? I know that matchbox did and the Taka one is ok. None of them are that detailed. If Yamato make one its gonna be very well detailed compared to the 80`s stuff. If its anything bigger than the 1/48 be prepared to sell any spare relatives you have to fund that purchase.

Onimusha-shin Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 it just makes me ponder, with Graham's bubble bursting, that we could actually speculate about the valks that might be made. and since Graham will feel an obligation to burst bubbles since it wouldn't be good to let our expectations build, then those valks whose threads don't get a response from the G-man may actually turn into reality! *wondering out loud* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Graham, can you please enlighten me as to how anyone at Yamato felt the Koenig was worth making yet they wouldn't dare bother to put together a toy of the actual Macross??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyesonme78 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 i think it would be possible since all sorts of items regarding to macross has been released by macross, thus i think nothing is impossible.. though it might be possibvle that sdf-1 might not come out at all but i think chances are higher in it coming out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I don't check out the toy section much, but when I saw the thread, I thought I'd check it out. If any of the toy manufacturers out there are smart, they'd make one. It all started with the SDF. Time for the toymakers to go back to our roots! - - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_e Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 To be honest with ya, I wouldn't be very interested in a SDF toy. That's not to say I don't want Yamato to make one, I don't want other people to not get what they want just because I don't want it. I just think it would end up being too expensive for basically a brick. I can force myself to believe that the price of a 1/48 is worth it because it transforms and is rather complex. But even that requires some convincing. Somehow I figure the SDF would be a big hunk of plastic that has an extremely simple transformation (really not much of a transformation at all, it just kind of "stands up") and it would probably cost $150+. This is all speculation/assumptions of course and, like I said, if the other fans do want it then I hope Yamato does make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt.actionjackson Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 It would be pretty tragic if Yamato didn't consider producing a super detailed transfroming SDF. Even if they did it in the same 1/3000 scale as the Matchbox, I'm sure they'd put that one to shame. Hopefully, they'll get bored of repainting vf-1s one of these days and get around to this. The yf-19 will distract me....for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I would buy the DYRL? version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermillion21 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I really hope destroids are in the works at least. Yes, Destroids would be nice ... but you know you can probably easily find some of the "Exo-Squad label" re-issues on eBay for relatively low prices. They're pretty good IMHO.

big F Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) how come nobody has ever made a largish scale resin kit of it bigger than the 1/3000 ?

kensei Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) Hey G, I'm banking on them making destroids and enemy mecha. Nothing else would make Graham more pleased. Edited August 1, 2006 by kensei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 i hope they make it but seeing as they can't release multiple varients, i doubt it. i hope i'm wrong but i doubt it. if they do make it, i hope it'll be bigger than the 1/3000 scale. it doesn't have to be the size of my house or anything but big enough that beats out the matchbox/takatoku versions.

Dante74 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'd like it at about twice the size of a 1/48 in battroid mode with lots and lots of detail. Don't know what scale that makes it and I know it'll be expensive, but i'll just have to make choices and/ or save up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 It's a small market they are catering to here, but no one else is making the SDF-1 so why not? Throw in a DYRL? and a Macross Plus version too. Somehow...make it different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
