What will Hasegawa do next?

[Chronocidal]

So since standard VF-19s seem less and less likely as a toy, how do we start a campaign to get Hasegawa to produce 1/72 and 1/48 kits of those?  

All I really want at this point is fighter mode models of the boring white VF-19 production models out of the Master file.  

I mean, an actual 1/48 YF-21 is hilariously overdue, and I'm guessing the lack of 1/72 sales drove them away from making it, but there are so many schemes they could sell more 19 variants in.

Edited, I had Bandai on the brain when I woke up.

You’re more likely to get Plamax to produce that in 1/72. Bandai is more focused on the hg 1/100 kits and probably won’t do larger ones while they’re still doing the occasional dx or hmr toys. I don’t think Bandai will do a full transformation kit again for a bit, but the did do  the 19 in hg. But who knows, maybe once the new series comes out and Macross hype picks up, they might get a weird adventurous streak going. I don’t mind being wrong about things if it ends up benefiting the community and personally I never thought we’d see hg Macross plus kits from Bandai or Zentraedi kits from Hasegawa. The future may hold some surprises

Hasegawa, Wave or Max Factory are more likely (and my preferred options) to do a VF-19 series in 1/72 fighter mode.

If it's Hasegawa, we can expect a full VF-19 set, as they'll milk those molds until the steel turns to ash.

I'm personally hoping for that outcome, as I want them all: Basara's Kai, the VF-19S/F of Emerald Force, and the VF-19P. Some of the other "less canon" variants from the Masterfile or Macross the Ride would be sweet too, like the VF-19EF.

I have spare YF-19s in the stash for those alternate White/Blue & White/Orange schemes. They're pretty!

I also eagerly await a 1/48 YF-21... they might even make a VF-22 in 1/48, but I'll keep praying for that and world peace and see which come first😇

Either way, I'm quite happy to have this particular addiction of mine fed, so here's to hoping!

Yeah, corrected that, I meant Hasegawa.  I really really want to see them make some solid aircraft kits of the entire VF-19 line.

And yeah.. I have a pile of 1/48 YF-19 kits to paint in various schemes, but I would be all over an official release in those Supernova paint jobs.
