Kaiyodo Revoltech VF-1J

[Graham]

Yawn...........I have no interest in yet another VF-1 toy, especially as it's non-transformable.

But I'd definitely buy some Kaiyodo Revolvotech Destroids or Zentradi mecha if they made them.

Although I'm opposed in principal to non-transforming VFs, I might pick up some Macross Plus & Macross 7 battroids if Kaiyodo made them.

I, too, would only be interested if Kaiyodo made Revoltech Destroids and Zentraedi mecha, specialy if they end up in scale with Toynami's 1/100 scale Valkyries.

[drifand]

Hmm, exaggerated proportions on Real Robots... these are not for me.

[kensei]

Yes...."real" robots.

[Veritas]

Granted, Revoltechs aren't transformable, but the amount of poseablity they have is just down right insane. Some more than others. All in all i think a Revoltech Valk would make a great office display piece, if some of you aren't looking to add em to your main collection. I know i've got Prime and the Ingram at my office right now, just waiting to pick a fight with Megs and maybe the VF-1 now, heh.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Any bet 1S is straight after.

I'm also with you guys that want Destroids. They would be unbeatable!

Enemy mecha might be harder to do, besides male and female power armor.

Would love a Glaug! But i just don't see it being done, anyone else thinks so too?

All of Revotechs are strickly humanoid form aren't they? From what i seen... nothing fancy like a Glaug.

The line is still young so it's hard to say, but it seems to me that Revoltech is going for the basic mecha of each series at least for the time being. I seriously doubt we'll see fancy mecha as ruskiiVFaussie said. I can see Mac+ battroids being made after they milk the VF-1 mold since that's the most popular series after Macross Saga and DYRL, but that's a looooooong way off.

I also don't care for non transforming VF's, there's too many cool stuff on the way, I just wish my 1/48's had Revoltech joints

[Black Valkyrie]

Told my friend about it cuz he`s a Revoltech fan, he said as soon as they are available he plans to get them and sell his 1/55 and 1/60 collection.

Oh BTW Kaiyodo :

Battle Pods !.

Looks interesting but I have nearly all the other Gashapon type Vf`s made and the display cabinet is bulging. I may get one or two just for the sake of it but make some destroids and enemy mecha and Im all over them.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Everyone should get one, you can't compare the posability of the Revoltechs... with anything.

[promethuem5]

This is true... while non-transforming toys of transformable designs are kinda goofy, they fill a different spot in a collection, especially where the RTs are concerned as they are soooo very playable and fun.

[Graham]

The photo on page one of this thread makes the VF-1J look like he's disco dancing.

Graham

[promethuem5]

Haha, but if you watch the beginning of the series, that's about what the 1J always looks like

[RDClip]

Oh, I think I got into Macross toys in one of the best times for collecting in history.

[Valkyrie addict]

we just put the yamato foldildo on the sealing to light things up with it's groooooooovy colors and let the kaiyodo vf's disco all night long!! haha!

Mate! You got it!!!

[Fly4victory]

Theres something odd about that gunpod grip, it looks like it rotates seperately from the trigger...?

Yeah whats up with the gun pod???

Looks like the waist chest area pivots forward above the cockpit.

Like the old superposables... hope these new ones are about the same size just more posable.

While that seems the plan IN GENERAL - they have done Dougram AND Soltic - multiple EVA's AND Multiple Patlabor Subjects are in the works.....

Soooo.......healthy precident in place........crosses fingers........crosses fingers........

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

True. I hope Kaiyodo can handle several lines at the same time, so the Macross franchise gets a serious follow up and we end up seeing Destroids and Q-Raus

[Scream Man]

I'm witht he "If it doesnt transform, Im not getting it" crowd. Sides i think Revoltechs are to small for what u pay for em. Its why I skipped Rev Labors.

[Duymon]

1/35 MG Labors FTW! Still very poseable and cool..cept for the very limited line of just ingrams and griffon. I wanted to see Ingram Econs, helldivers, etc

[Vermillion21]

I have both the Convoy & Megatron .. these are sweet.

I'll definitely be getting one of these ... kool!

[The Nighthawk]

I have a Revoltech Griffon, and frankly, I don't care if these don't TF--Revoltech is an awesome line! I hope for a YF-21 and a repaint as Gamlin's VF-22....

YF-21 sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[Black Valkyrie]

May be Bandai will strike with In Action!! Offshoot Valks.

[Bub]

Speaking of Bandai. I still never get tired of saying this: BANDAI should reissue the 1/55 Hikaru Strike!!!

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

Will revoltech ever make non-transforming mecha from macross. I think if fans all bothered them for it, maybe it will come about someday?

For me if the transforming valk can't transform I'm not going to be interested in it as it is just a super posable figure. But for all the non-transforming stuff like the monster, glaug, regult, spartan, tomahawk, qrau, zentradi male power armor, I'd be very happy to see.

I want a small qrau to pose doing all kinds of cool actions. It's one of the more agile mecha in the series so it would be perfect. It needs bendy legs for crouching.

[CF18]

With fast pack!

[kensei]

man..... i want to see it posed!

[mister_e]

That is awesome. I had no idea that it was going to be released with FAST packs. I was already planning to buy it without them. This is just icing on the cake. Thanks for the pic CF18

[Black Valkyrie]

Oops I`ve post it in the other Revo theard

[ruskiiVFaussie]

They already have a box for it???? Why isn't it listed for early boirdy in HLj yet>????

I WANT! : D Sweetness!

[Black Valkyrie]

It would be nice if they too VF-1A Max TV.

[ShadowerV2]

Yeah. Max TV 1A and Kakizaki 1A. Now I'll just wait for the inevitable Max and Miriya 1Js. And it looks like the wings can move too judging from the missile packs.

[eugimon]

gonna have to get me one of these. Looks so cool. I'm hoping they do a q-rau.. I'm still disapointed by yamato's lackluster effort.
