Maiden Japan Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) I began designing this for two weeks now. It is non- transforming fighter only display piece. It will come with display stand.(not the flex stand you see) It is still pending whether this will be an actual product or not. But I'd like to know any suggestion or comments.

ae_productions Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I had two suggestions, but it was only because the other pictures weren't loading. That was: 1) Order for different fighters (1S, 1J, 1A and maybe even a 1D). But I saw you did that when the other pictures loaded. 2) Cocpit. Again, this was resolved once the slow pictures (It's more like MY slow internet) materialized. Question. Is the canopy on the final going to be "clear" or painted plastic? And does the canopy close with the pilot still in the cockpit or does the pilot have to be removed from the cockpit? If the pilot remains in the cockpit, then a clear canopy might add a lot of feel to this toy. If the pilot has to be removed, then a clear cockpit would be awesome, but a painted canopy would work just as well. The stand is a great touch too. Size wise, are these going to be about 3 - 4 inches long? They'd be a great compliment to a display. I would buy several of these, depending which Valks you'd make. They look fantastic. Great work, as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool8or Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Sincerely, this is faaaaar better than Hasegawa version, even than Tanmen's. Let's see: Your version is more proportionate than the others, is more harmonic, and more cute!!. So I'm very interested in YOUR version!!! Please keep us informed!!

nightmareB4macross Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Looks really nice. I hope this materializes an actual product. The scult looks like an updated "Joke Machine". Now, if you could make this transform, I would be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I like it, great job so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'd be all over a new Jokemachine but I don't think I'd purchase this. It would kind of fall into the keychain/tchochke no man's land for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JET7 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 strike packs maiden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden Japan Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Super/ Strike packs and missile accessories in the work now. Possibly VT and VE variants. We still have not decided what material to use for this product. It can be in soft vinyl, PVC, Injection plastic, or die-cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoneWolf Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 The only things missing are the landing gears. To save money, plug-in landing gears could do. Other than that, the sculpt looks great! If the toy is going to come with a flight stand, I think smoke trails that plug into the feet would look cool. I don't think any VF toy has ever done that before. My final suggestion would be optional stickers. All canon markings should already be painted on the toy, but give the buyer some purely optional stickers if he/she wants. For example: a HUD sticker that shows a chibi Regult or Glaug, a UN Spacy logo with a kite line attached to make it a true "flying kite," or a chibi Misa sticker for Hikaru, or a chibi Milia sticker for Max, or a chibi steak sticker for Kakizaki. It's supposed to be a fun toy, so have fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapetang Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Very cool! Love the proportions & the sculpt SO much better on this! It'd be fun if it was the size of a beachball but then again, it'd way too expensive. Say, do the wings sweep? Looking forward to seeing more!

Maiden Japan Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 I made wings separate pieces and they're movable, but not as much effective. We might mold these in fixed position in order to save mold and production cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miriya Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I cant believe I missed this until now. Great work on this. I would definitely want an ostrich or elintseeker version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Warlock Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This is way cool. Great work on it. I'd really like to see the VT and VE variants. Are you planning on a single body design with the A,J,S, Strike, VT, and VE parts as options? Maybe offer the basic VF-1A kit and then an "options kit" with different heads, strike parts, VT, and VE parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
