Fatalist Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 So whats with the dry spell of new Hasegawa models? Did they let the license run out and not renew it? Whatever happened to a VF-11 etc?
Kylwell Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Besides the just released armored VF0 Bat'roid?
Fatalist Posted October 23, 2006 Author Posted October 23, 2006 Besides the just released armored VF0 Bat'roid? Fighter mode stuff prefferably, and the completion of the Mac Plus/Mac 7 Line.
Noyhauser Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 umm, maybe you don't get it. they just released a VF-0 Armored Battroid. given its size and complexity, IMO (which may be very wrong) I think they are doing quite well.

The Hasegawa VF-11 was never anything more than rumor and speculation. Though I am curious what they're going to do next, now that they've finished sucking Macross Zero dry...

sketchley Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Did they ever have the Macross Plus or Macross 7 rights? I don't think so. What they did have is the rights to the VF-X2 game. There are a couple more kits that they could release from that - but the chance of that happening is slim, as they have probably already felt that there won't be enough market demand to justify the investments needed to produce the remaining kits. Which kits am I referring to? VF-17, VA-3M, VB-6, etc..
Fly4victory Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Yes, Hasegawa produced the YF-19, YF-21, and the VF-22 Max "limited edition". The first two can still be found for sale and the 22 was rereleased about three months ago. Did they ever have the Macross Plus or Macross 7 rights? I don't think so.

darklord4 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Though I am curious what they're going to do next, now that they've finished sucking Macross Zero dry... Since they just released the VF-0S Reactive Armor, maybe a VF-0A version?
Penguin Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Since they just released the VF-0S Reactive Armor, maybe a VF-0A version? "New VF-0A Battroid... now with new hat!"
baronv Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 They havnt done a SV-51 Battroid.....YET Oh snap, I hope they do make a battroid. I was thinking of getting the fighter version of the SV-51, how hard is it to build? I'm only used to MG Gundams so everything snaps into place, are the Hasegawa straight paint and gluem models, I'm really bad and gluing.
big F Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 May be Hasegawa is saving all its plastic for a SDF1 kit.
Fly4victory Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I think it was on starship modeler referring to Hasegawa kits “just and glue and paint, shake, pour out a finished modelâ€. I really like building their aircraft models plus the paint charts are excellent. I doubt that there would be any problems. Oh snap, I hope they do make a battroid.

I'm only used to MG Gundams so everything snaps into place, are the Hasegawa straight paint and gluem models, I'm really bad and gluing. The SV is a touch harder than the VF-0 but still a very easy build. The worse seam issue is where the fuselage halves meet up with the nose cone halves. Here's a build up review.
Valkyrie Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Actually, I forgot, they still need to made a VF-0D battroid A set of Macross Zero missiles would be quite welcome too...
