Excillon Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 a PG VF-1 Would need to be at least 1/48 for it to have room for all the detail of a PG kit. Aren't PG's 1/60? Yeah but a Gundam is much bigger than a valkyrie. Valks are like 30-35 feet, and Gundams are 60 or more feet. A 1/60 PG Gundam is about the same height as a 1/48 valk.

Chaos Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 The real thing is, aside from removable armors, what advantage would a PG 1/48th scale Valkyrie have over a Yammie 1/48? BTW, been here two days, and already I hate Graham.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the enjoyment of killing time to build the kit With Bandai MG/PG there's no need for glue or mass puttying unlike the hasegawa. Plus OOB electronic lighting kit. They could make lighting in the visor, wings, gun and even cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Along a similar line of argument, maybe those wanting an "SOC"-style diecast VF-1 Valkyrie are nagging the wrong company. Perhaps the best hope for diecast Macross toys lies, not with Bandai's SOC' line, but in CM's Brave Gokin line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM's are only just getting started in that arena but they do like Macross and they've demonstrated already that they'll do pretty much whatever they want to.

Macross73 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) If they start making a SOC Vf-1 that'd be great i know i'll still be buying the 1/48 b/c they're great. but to have a SOC version would be awesome. i understand that to have multiples of the same thing is redundant... sort of, but heck i already have these in 1/55 1/60 and 1/48 so to have even more doesn't bother me one bit. i say make them. and maybe they can make some of these too just so theres some variation : VF-xx zentran and the vf-2ss [attachmentid=38631][attachmentid=38632][attachmentid=38633] edit: pics taken from http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/macross.htm Edited December 4, 2006 by Macross73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, been here two days, and already I hate Graham.... First of all, it would be a model, as opposed to the toy. Other than the standard PG gimmicks (vents all over, LED's, etc.) it would have MAD articulation beyond anything Yamato can concieve.

Grand Admiral Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 just so theres some variation : VF-xx zentran and the vf-2ss [attachmentid=38631][attachmentid=38632][attachmentid=38633] edit: pics taken from http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/macross.htm Man I'd LOVE a VF-2SS. I know Macross II wasn't all that popular, but I sure do love that mecha. Also: VF-4 plz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightbat Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Here's a pic of the 1/60 MKII Monster. Image I guess you're right and the shipping would cost the same as a small car. Although this is about as big as a small car. I'm guessing €500 total (excl. taxes) With all the supports under the pre-production resin model I wonder how well the production monster would have stood? The total weight and the ability to support itself may have stopped development. If produced... I would fly to Japan and bring it back as luggage. If yamato is smart they would use counterweights and if they're really smart, they let you install nails/rings/whatever heavy- as such to keep S/H costs lower Holy Frak! I forgot that the Monster was that big. I would have no where to put it. Neither do I,... but who cares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yeah but a Gundam is much bigger than a valkyrie. Valks are like 30-35 feet, and Gundams are 60 or more feet. A 1/60 PG Gundam is about the same height as a 1/48 valk. Which Gundam are you referring to? From memory the PG Strike Gundam smokes the 1/48 in terms of size.

VF-2SS-BloodPhoenix Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I just hope Yamato has plans on finishing the 1/48 VF-1 line with the 0D, Elint, and Ostrich. I'm waiting on those babies to be born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I should know better, I have the PG strike. I was looking at my bookcase and I have the Wing Zero standing next to the Roy 1S. They're relatively close.
