IXTL Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I've always preferred the DYRL 1As over the TV ones (except for the optic, TV ver. just looks better in that department) but the 1/60 Kakizaki actually looks really good. I like it more than the TV 1A Max in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Although personally - when people post large amounts of pics - like those promo pics for the VF-1s - I prefer the small thumbnails. I don't want to wait to load 10 pictures - even if their size is reduced My personal opinion of course Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The chest white is off compared to the rest of the white plastic. Just the proto I guess. The DYRL heads or colors compared to the TV versions never enters into consideration for me thank God. I swore many moons ago to keep my collecting to only the TV series. This has kept my collecting at a somewhat sane level and has allowed my family to eat from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logos Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 If anyone finds some closeup pics of the TV version head can they post them? I want to see how that, what appears to be, a seam line looks going down the middle of the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) I have not gotten ANY 1/60 v2s yet! Will get all the TV versions soon. Going to get: 1S (re-release, shoulders better?) 1J with fastpack (switch fp to roy, and a set of TV hands slightly dirtied up) 1D, 1A Max and Kak I skipped on the previous 1/60 line, then skipped the 1/48s and am I glad I did. I can't believe all the posts from so many who wish they had waited. BUT - would still like to know if they're going to come out with weathered versions of each of the 1/60 v2s though?? I have the weathered Tomahawk and have a line on the weathered Defender now too. I like to wait and get the ultimate so I have no wish-I-wouldas. Although things are coming out so fast I'm not sure I can afford that luxury! Edited January 27, 2009 by DarrinG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danth Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Jeez, so they will do a TV Kakizaki. They really are going to do every damn type of valk there is. I still hope for an Angel Bird valk, but I fear that Yamato might have gotten burned by the 1/48 Angel Bird release. Also wondering where the VF-1A Cannon Fodder is. And of course I can't wait to see the GBP armor. Do you guys think they'll make a space booster? You know, the booster Max and Milia used to blast their way into space to attack the Zentraedi Factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javabean Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) I believe the VF-1A CF & other variations should be out soon after Yamato is done with the all characters releases. Not forgetting Yamato hv yet to announce the Max/Millia 1J, which should be next after TV Kakizaki or so, if i'm not wrong. I am hoping for a TV & DYRL VF-1A CF. Also a TV Focker 1S.

rowlund Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Woohoooo!!!!! V2s RULE!!!!! a tv vf-1a kakizaki? hehe, finally, yamato looks to be making every darn valk out there which is what I hoped to see in the first place with the v2 line By the way, I am aware of the v2 valks they are to roll out, however, does anybody know the schedule for the release of each valk? I know the VF-1d is coming out next but outside of that, I don't know when the others are coming out. Anybody out there have release schedule?

Valkyrie23 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Anybody know how much Over-Drive generally charges to ship one of these 1/60's without the armor parts to California? I just pre-ordered the VF-1D from overdrive which is the same price (w/o armor), and shipping to Cali came out to $33.40 I think that's for EMS as its similar to HLJ, but overall its cheaper b/c overdrive's list prices are less than HLJ's prices.

Folka Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Honestly try to avoid Sal shipping as much as possible, as I know all too well that it takes far too long to receive your beautiful gift from yamato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javabean Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) just copied this from the SCOOP thread c/o "sturmvogel's poking around IXTL's link"... Did you guys notice the 2 tones white on the chest areas? Even the wings hv it too. Quite different fm all-white on TV Max. Even the magazine exclusive 1/48 does not hv this features. Showed that Yamato really put great emphasis & details on the 1/60, & not just a straight repaint. Edited January 30, 2009 by Javabean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0n5t3r Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 most probably a prototype... i like it nonetheless... they just wanted to put it out there ASAP so we'd all pee our pants from all the excitement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin3060 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Two tone white is not a good thing when its supposed to be the same! This is a prototype though so I'd expect the final product to be better in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) The off tones are almost certainly done because Yamato made the prototype by using a chemical to rip the paint off the parts in question.

danth Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Did you guys notice the 2 tones white on the chest areas? Even the wings hv it too. I think you're looking too hard. Come on, do you really see two separate tones of white, or just artifacts of jpeg compression or even surfaces reflecting light at different angles?

Javabean Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) I thought i saw 2 tones there . If you look at the fighter & Gerwalk modes fm Yammy website, it does seem to imply that. As some members pointed out, its cud be juz prototype sample & actual one will be all white like Max. Edited January 31, 2009 by Javabean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, do you really see two separate tones of white, or just artifacts of jpeg compression or even surfaces reflecting light at different angles? That's what I was thinking as well. But it does seem to be 2 different tones. But as Jenius said...it's prob. because it's a proto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowyunskinny Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Are they not doing a DYRL 1A bundled with Fast Packs? Standalone only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Was there ever a DYRL 1A fastpack for Kakizake? I don't remember - and if there was, then it was even less prominent than the VE-1, which at least got an ass shot and a couple of lines for the pilot... From what I know - the VF-1D and the VF-1A Kakizake and Max TV colors are ONLY being sold as standalone. And good. Cheaper Valks are nice from time to time. Besides - this way there's no "how to display" dilema - you can have the VF-1s with SS parts displayed in their booby ducks, and the ones without will show the beauty of the Yammie without boobies.

Folka Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 At the beginning of DYRL the entire skull squad is using fastpacks, including kakizaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakizaki's 1A in DYRL had way more screen time than the Elint. Blink and you miss the Elint, but you had to have been dozing off for the first 5 minutes to miss Kakizaki's 1A. Well, yeah it makes sense that the TV valks you listed don't have fastpacks bundled because they were never featured with them. Yeah Cheaper valks are nice which is why I want a bundle. I think it would be cheaper on shipping than paying for two boxes (valk plus separate fast pack). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atreyu2112 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Damn, I really want to pre-order this one... but after that steak last night and the fact I just pre-ordered the VF-1D, Max TV and ordered a Destroid Defender, my disposeable cash is zilch for the time being.

(see below) Funny that you would mention that. Everyone swears that a two-seater VF-1D was used during the Max & Milia ceremony, but in fact it was a two-seater VF-1A that was flown during the entire episode. Yet a lot of people would rather have a VF-1D than an anime accurate two-seater VF-1A. It's all relative to your own interpretation of what is and is not anime canon or lineart canon.

I thought that the fact that the Virgin Road Valkyrie had a -1A head was an animation error? How would a two-seat -1A work anyway considering there's only one 'head camera'? I think Yamato really needs to start including extra heads with their fighters. How cool would it be to have the Virgin Road two-seater including both a -1D head and a TV -1A head? That way it's accurate BOTH ways. Vostok 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Chaos Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 So it's the 21'st and Yamato have today still listed as TV-1A release. DYRL-1A just says May which we all know means the very last day.. So have they slipped on the TV? Are we going to see any of these this month? It's been nearly a week since I got my last Valk and I am starting to get withdrawal symtoms!!
