Rick_Randy Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 someone earlier in the year mentioned that they frequent this page Again I'd like to thank yamato for the 1/48 scale valks, i am glad that you don't have to remove the legs and hands to transaform them.That is something i desired mostly on their smaller valks Also will there be plans to make a 1/48 vf1-J with GPS armor? a set is not complete without a vf-1J even if the pilot in it is "macross the series" version and more importantly a vf1-d two seater. that would be great with 2 figures included in the cockpit (one of hikaru/rick the other of minmay) I love the scale and hope to see more valkyrie types appear.(a vf 19 or vf 21 would be nice)
blackjek Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 yeah a vf-1d with minmay and hikaru sounds great.
hirohawa Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 I'd be down for two VF 1D'd in 1/48 scale. I love the Yamato 1/48's they are amazingly well designed toys that look incredible. I sincerely hope that they etxend the 1/48 line they way they have with the 1/60 line. They have truly made the most diverse collection of Valkyries to date.
Chowser Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 They probably will release the GBP depending on how well the 1/60's GBP sells. I'm buying at least 3 or 4 of the 1/60 GBPs!
FRED THE FRENCH Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 I really would love to see the Mac+ valks in 1/48 scale. But they would be about 50 cm long. Imagine one moment the size and weight of the packaging! But those would really be great and I'm sure a lot of us would buy these toys. 150 $ would be a good price for that.
FRED THE FRENCH Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 And by the way, welcome to Rick_Randy Have fun on this Forum!
Zentrandude Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 ill go for a 1/48 destroyed monster. i need a new car anyways. should be about that big.
Rick Randy Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Thanx guys,thanx fred I sorta lost my account awhile back in the older forums, I used to ask chris for replacement heads for joons valk copies. (still wish he would make improved replacement arms and legs) I still admire how robust of the old takatoku valks are. (the bandai ones still seem almost as robust.) heh, the monster would be a good idea, but maybe in 1/75 scale, ONE THING!!! The destroids have been neglected for awhile as toys.(remember the HG knockoffs that lack knee joint mobility) even just a TOMAHAWK destroid in 1/48 with pilot would suffice as a tribute as much as a 1/48 REGULT!!! I know people would buy more than "ONE" Regult for the sake of having their valkyries having something to shoot at rather than an imaginary battle pod. even without pilot! I don't care if I have to assemble 5 of them once out of the box!!! a valkyrie deserves a good regult or glaug!!! (I hope some one from yamato or knows them is taking some of this down for it would be a shame if HG came up with it!!!.) For now I will be content with all the different valkyries from the VF1 range to materialize, perhaps in a little while the VF11 to VF21 some day but then again I love their 1/60's. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I fear most about owning a 1/60 even when I am careful I dread dropping the legs by accident when I want to transform them into battroid mode. (has this ever happened to ANYONE?? even once?!) My brown vf-1a production type 1/60 paint scratched off easily and since then I became too careful with all my 1/60s!! I treat them like "the good dinner ware" use them as display mostly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wish they made the paintjob better if ever they release a 1/48 brown production version VF-1A Yamato has got the upperhand so far in the valkyrie war with the 1/48 and I agree, (if anyone could do better send us free the products:) ) but that does not mean that we may not expect anything more. So what sort of mod to the existing 1/48 design other than the head would they have to make if they do release a 2 seater VF1-d 1/48? (been dying to get a scale minmay figure to .er.......hold;) )
Göönk Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 Hum I wonder why they don't make annoucements. They barely speak about their upcoming products. Strange. Any one has an idea?
Zentrandude Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 if you want a 1/48 zentran or meltran soldier buy a barbie or ken doll
valkyrietestpilot Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 hmmm,a vf-1d would be awsome in 1/48,but the 1j IS being done in 1/48.the 1j hikaru is out now.you can get it either with or without t.v. stlye fastpacks(special release,different than the DYRL? strike/fastpacks)
Rick_Randy Posted December 29, 2003 Author Posted December 29, 2003 sorry for not looking first that the old VF1J is out, It has been while since I was here. (time to order the J ) but since they got the speical ed with the booster pack, why not the armored version as well.(with or without valk) If a brown vf1a is not much to ask,then a vf1d should not be too much problems.
brainiac_08 Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 this was mentioned some time ago, although farfetched, why not a 1/48 1d w/ remvable cockpit? that'd be nice. J.J.
Rick Randy Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 With a hikaru and minmay figure of coz. what other sdf products do they plan to release?
valkyrietestpilot Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 (edited) i remember seeing a model of the 1d w/ fastpacks(hagegawa?) i was just thinking how cool the 1/48 vf-1d would look with a set of those t.v. style fastpacks Edited December 29, 2003 by valkyrietestpilot
Draykov Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 heh, the monster would be a good idea, but maybe in 1/75 scale, ONE THING!!! The destroids have been neglected for awhile as toys.(remember the HG knockoffs that lack knee joint mobility) even just a TOMAHAWK destroid in 1/48 with pilot would suffice as a tribute as much as a 1/48 REGULT!!! Well, in case you weren't aware, Yamato is scheduled to release a 1/60 Monster some time this year. As for a 1/48 Regult...I wouldn't hold your breath.
ewilen Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 So what sort of mod to the existing 1/48 design other than the head would they have to make if they do release a 2 seater VF1-d 1/48? (been dying to get a scale minmay figure to .er.......hold;) ) Well, obviously the cockpit would have to be redesigned. Also, the break between the chestplate and backplate would change--on the 1D it goes straight across, while other valks have a notch under the neck. And there are four black thingies on the chestplate of the VF-1D that I can't identify--are they just painted on, or are they molded panels/vents of some sort? For a preview of what would have to be done, compare the Valkyrie factory pics: http://www.menet.umn.edu/~ngo/vf-1d_ya.html http://www.menet.umn.edu/~ngo/vf-1j_super_...a_battroid.html
Göönk Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 http://www.menet.umn.edu/~ngo/vf-1d_ya.htmlhttp://www.menet.umn.edu/~ngo/vf-1j_super_...a_battroid.html those pages won't load
Rick Randy Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 [ As for a 1/48 Regult...I wouldn't hold your breath.] -Draykov Rick_Randy holds his breath [icon8.gif] 1...2....3...4...BLEAH!! thanx draykov ewilen is see what you mean so how would they resolve the idea of removable cockpit?
blackjek Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 yeah and for the 1d, they need to conceal a bigger heatshield for the 2 seater, could be quite tricky.
