I nearly pulled the trigger on the Super Ostrich a few times, to double as filling the 1/60 hole in the collection. I hope Arcadia announces this for their next 1/60 VF-1 release. I still have all my Yamatos V.1. The first release of the VF-1S was my first Macross toy. If I'm not wrong I got it form Kevin Lam at Valkyrie-Exchange. I'm only missing the Toys R Us exclusive VF-1A CF and the VF-1J GBP bundle. The good old dayof the V.1's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froy Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Pic came from here https://macrossworld.com/macross/toys/yamato_vf1/comparison.htm I was looking for it for some time. I had it in an old drive I couldn't access any more. Wanted to recreat it with the new DD Focker and old Yamato V.1. but I don know what other old model I could use. Yamato 1/48 and 1/60 V.2. are still very good toys in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Those removeable diecast legs on the Yammie V1 make them a little tricky to pose, especially because of their weight. But it can be done: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For it’s time, it was alright. But those legs are brutal. A flexi/FlightPose stand can help. But don’t expect to do one legged poses or have the legs kicking out, without some support under it. Along with the issues of them being removable, those legs are practically Toynami floppy with how heavy they are. It’s nice to have the Yammy V1, and it was fun posing it with the Q-Rau (since they’re the same scale). But it will probably be the last Macross item I’d ever take down from the attic.

MKT Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Thanks for the compliment guys. It’s great the GNU-Dou exists, especially for the YF-21 to give us something more line-art accurate in Battroid. Just waiting for Bandai to release their 1/60 YF-21 now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Rounding off the 1/60 Mac+ VFs, is the VF-11b. I can imagine it being thought of as a very underrated design in comparison to its more well-known compatriots in the series, and probably still holds true today. Again, it is one of those valks whose Fighter mode just looks so 'right' to me with a very swoosh-able design. I don't know how much are the wings supposed to be tucked in for fast-mode. In the anime, they look to be swept back halfway (the somewhat early scene where Isamu chases after Guld to save him from crashing), but in the line-art, they tuck in fully.

Froy Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Design wise it is probably the best Yamato era toy. The only thing it misses is on the size of the horizontal stabilizers. If it is equiped with the booster it is pretty much perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing it misses is on the size of the horizontal stabilizers. If it is equiped with the booster it is pretty much perfect. You might mean the vertical stabilizers, and I agree, they could be much bigger. Handling these Yamcadia valks in Fighter, there's always a sense of occasion I don't get with Bandai's Chogokins. For example, deploying the landing gears is great pleasure in tactile feel, from the way the bay doors snap open / close and the just-right resistance you get moving the gears into position. But of course, there are some misses - YF-21/VF-22 rear gears being an example, and Arcadia's VF-0 rear bay doors are akin to fighting a very resolute clam in sealing itself shut not letting you get to the meat.

MKT Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Thanks @Lolicon Bandai's upcoming HG YF-19 kit looks to be also aimed at the toy audience as well, what with the play-friendly partsforming engineering & crazy articulation it provides. This will likely be the first Macross model kit I get. Meanwhile, the GNU-Dou YF-19 and its VF-19A variant here, in its base form will feel pretty outdated in the articulation department. But in-hand, I like the choice of mostly ABS plastics used and makes the whole figure feel very robust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Isamu does what he does best when not flying.. I like this figure, I wish there were more made of him. But more than that, I wish there was a corresponding figure of Guld as well. Even more than Guld, I wish there was Myung & full-size Sharon..
