This time around though, I just let go and went for the ride and enjoyed it. Oh almost forgot, I will be getting this!

valhary Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 looks great to me the only think that dont like me is that the eyes are painted and no made of crystal clear and for come like a separated parts I think was very possible do it so i hope someone offer that option also worry that the vf 19s come with the paint visor thats would be a step back in the design of macross toys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that what we have seen so far is the resin prototype with a coat of paint. Resin prototypes never have crystal clear parts. Yamato’s site announces they will be presenting the real plastic toy in a month time, including its definitive colour. I don’t think the eyes will be an issue. As you said, that would be a step back in the design of Macross toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhary Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 maybe Graham can confirm us in case that eyes are painted I definitely will try to make it of crystal clear the only valkyrie that remember that not has the crystal visor was the sv 51 but in that case I justified for the design but not for the vf 19 and more when the eyes come as interchangeable part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 actually Id like the crystal eye salso, but they have done it for every other Mac plane so i think they'll do it for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae_productions Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You know what would really impress me? If Yamato where to design the missile bays in the legs such that there was space to put all of the extra parts like the face and neck/leg panels. If most or all of the spare parts/accessories can store on the toy instead of rattling around in a box somewhere, this will officially be the greatest toy ever. Seconded! I doubt it. But man, that would be awesome. I am just jazzed there are missile bays! This is AWESOME. I hope they v2 1:60 YF-19 now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 mmm... crystal eye salsa Huh? What's this about crystalized salsa? Are they including it with every purchase of the VF-19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hmm maybe the entire faceplates(eyes+mouth) will be molded in translucent green, but with the mouth parts painted? Only thing I'd worry about is paint scratching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy00z Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 If we will have extra parts, I demand two extra part for the back of the legs also And a set of bigger feet for anime accurate Battroid!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 And a set of bigger feet for anime accurate Battroid!! lol Considering the picture of the toy is taken from a higher angle and the legs are turned back there's no real way to make a fair comparison about the size of the feet in the drawing you posted versus how the toy looks. From that vantage more of the foot is obscured, therefore it will look smaller... and what's the the foot fetish on this board anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 IMHO the feet aren't too small---the ankles are too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Gerwalk looks the same to me. Fighter looks like they slimmed down the gullet and pushed the landing gear back a bit. Yeah, maybe it's just the angle in which the pic was taken. Then again, it could be due to the improved articulation on the ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s001 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yep, chunky ankles. But you have to admit that this valk already look as chunky as a mazinger z mecha in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 It's the whole lower portion of the leg that seems too be bigger than it should be. But then again, if the dimensions were slimmer we would be looking at it predecessor (YF-19) all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I was gonna hold off for a blazer, but after getting a really clean copy of Macross 7 (central anime) I am newly inspired. I will hide the mouth and pretend it shoots real bullets from its gun. The missiles will help add to the illusion that it is not an annoying singers plane, but a hot shot fighter pilot who had his VF done up in an ugly custom scheme. Ah the power of imagination I am really going to need some help to justify the sound boosters though, any suggestions would be helpful. Perhaps some sort of high intensity microwave weapon...yeah that's a good start I am looking forward to this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ask yourself the following questions: 1) How many VFs before Mac7 had mouths? 2) How many VFs talk? In the Macross universe, where the military is building the valk, the mouth seems silly. I try to give Basara a pass since it's supposed to be some sort of civilian glam rock valk.

What's so unattractive/detracting about it? The mouth hate has been around since the broadcast of Macross 7 Episode 1. There are folks who don't mind it and folks who detest it. The reason why some don't like it is because it gives the mecha a 70's "super robot" look than the "real robot" look that was popular in the 80's. Since Macross was/is considered the pinnacle of "real robot" anime, there was/is alot of rejection to the mawkishness of Macross 7 which includes the mouth and the Ronald McDonald colors of the Fire Valk.

Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wow, so much M7 hate. It's been 17 years, guys, get over it already. Not specifically M7 hate, just Basara "dislike". I cannot think of anyone in the Macross universe I like less; however, this looks like a great toy and since Yamato has given me the ability to cover up one of my least favorite parts ( the zombie/ geisha lips) it makes it much easier for me to get this one. I already have the other Mac 7 valks and I am a bit of a completionist so I am glad I can jump on the early adopter bandwagon. I did it with Bandai's VB-6 and the new SDF 1/3000 and I don't regret it. Besides, you never know, maybe having an awesome copy of his Valk will make me like him more? I do hope it sells well because M7 is still largely an untapped resource and high sales could get us some of the others things we have been craving VF-11C Protect, Blazer Valk (probably gonna happen) and VFs-17 super nightmare (probably gonna happen too), but maybe even a star mirage and VF-1 whale hunter too. I don't think an invader or VF-14 would ever happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that, I can understand. Perhaps it's because I watch a ton of Super Robot stuff (Brave Series and the like) that I'm pretty used to it. But then again, I see it as more of an ornamental/aesthetic design choice on Basara's part than anything else. Thank heavens it doesn't actually move. (^.^ Also, regarding the color scheme, I can understand where people are coming from, but I myself never really did get the 'Ronald McDonald' vibe from it due to the serious lack of white, stripes and a dominance of yellow. If the color scheme was flipped, yeah, I can see the Ronald McDonald. But as it is, it truly is the Fire Valkyrie in my eyes. It's kinda like how Optimus Prime and Spiderman don't remind me of the American Flag at all due to a lack of white, stripes and stars.

I dunno, Macross 7 in general struck me as Kawamori's way of saying " $%^&*()P)))))&^%%^& all of you, you want me to make sequel upon sequel for this brand when I want to move on? Alright HAVE AT IT, your Roy Focker is dead, you get VISUAL KEI INSTEAD!", so for trying to make an artistic expression, when I was younger I felt this was kind of a ballsy move for Kawamori and then,....pretty cool. Later I watched some of 7, meant to finish, still haven't, it's not so bad. With that said the mouthguard comes with the toy and for that, I'm happy. Just hope the toy is molded in crimson red.
