closetgeek Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 just placed an order for both of em through local seller for 135 USD each including shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I was thinking. the fact that these are getting a release/re-release almost guarantees an M&M re-release. Maybe a low viz and Elint release too. hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I wonder what the reason is for going with a full release for these two? Was there a big enough demand on the limited variety they decided it would be worth it to go ahead with a full release? Were they always scheduled to be released and they decided to have some "promos" (in the case of the VF-X being offered through that magazine) ahead of time? Are there other variants they might consider? They have already stamped out more unique VF-1's than pretty much anybody else to my recollection. Even with the amount of "not another VF-1" chatter we get on this message board it sounds like most of these sell through enough to warrant yet more variations.

Mommar Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I concur...bring on the U.N. Headquarters Guard and Dark Bird!!! That's about the only two schemes they have left to make unless they start branching out to VF-X (which they already started doing) or they feel like making a Macross 7 Milia with the black bands around the legs and on the wings.

I don't think that's another release for these two. Most likely these are from the same production run when they first did it for exclusive online mail order, but they have run extra to see the market demand or maybe balance from initial production run.

Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 That's about the only two schemes they have left to make unless they start branching out to VF-X I could be wrong, but if we were going to see video game schemes, we would have M&M VF-11B's, ravens 11B's (they have milked this mold the least) and a YF-19 (1/60) by now.

I'm referring specifically to any VF-1 schemes. Yamato seems far less willing to release other types of VF's in different schemes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I would have to check mine, but did the clear one not include him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidearmsalpha Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I got the clear one, and I'm almost positive it comes with Hikaru. By the way, since I don't have a 1/60 Angelbirds that isn't buried in storage, did these not come with the Angelbirds stickers for the legs like the 1/48 version? If so, did anyone make any custom stickers/decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, did anyone make any custom stickers/decals? Unfortunately Yamato dropped the ball on the decals and didn't include the "Angel Birds" for the legs, even though they provided a small replacement sheet for the white tail numbers later on. I'd also like to know if anyone made a custom set of decals...I'd be all over that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hayao Kakizaki made some Hasegawa style decals for the 1/48 complete with the emblem. I'm sure he can make some for the 1/60. The ones for the 1/48 were different. I can scan it and print it if anyone wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 dang. OK. I'll scan and clean them up tonight. Just to be clear this is just the leg decals right? Because I can't print white ink like Anazasi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Hey EXO--- messing around at work....I was gonna try and print my own this weekend..try Microsoft Word Font "Brush Script MT". When compared side by side with the Hasagawa 1:48 Box art...it looks pretty damn close to me!!! Edited January 3, 2013 by derex3592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Yes sir! Testor's Waterslide Decal Custom Kit. Printed the words out at work (Microsoft Word Brush Script MT--26pt font I think) on the laser jet printer (even though my decal paper is for inkjet--didn't seem to matter), brought them home, sealed with a couple of quick coats of the decal sealer spray and then cut, trim, dip in water for literally 2 seconds, wait about 30 seconds and slide right onto Valk. Smooth out with damp Q tip. DONE! That's it! Took me literally 5 minutes. NOW I need to find a way to print white so I can make the "Just Married" for the Virgin Road VF-1D!

derex3592 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) That's pure awesomeness...gahh! We gotta figure out how to do the VF1D Virgin Road leg "Just Married" decal. Same font works..but need the white ribbon behind it.....ohh and that cool one on the tail fin too! Lol!
