I don’t think they’re allowed to do the DYRL stuff anymore. I get a little lost now and then on these rules though now that I think about it, it’s possible they may not be able to do a lot of the odd squadrons that didn’t show up in the tv series. They can easily do the cool Alaska base ones though Edited November 26, 2023 by Big s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I'd be down for that; even in metallic green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they can do his green Skull Squadron 1A, the brown is ok, but I guess since the green is the DYRL color then it’s a no no as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladykins Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Alaska Base seems more logical than this. Someone told me this might represent the major "colors" of the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers (Honda Red, Suzuki white and blue, Kawasaki green, Yamaha yellow and black.) but that would be a weirder niche to go after.

Radioguy Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Speaking of yellowing, it would great if KC could get around any licensing issue by issuing a color that would turn the just right Kakizaki DYRL green if you just left it in the sun.

Radioguy Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Also forgot to say earlier: Despite those odd colors, KC does seem to have learned the visor color is better matched to the body color or being clear than being green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 As long as they keep the visors green for all canon VFs...they can use hot pink for any other valk...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) While I have no intentions of starting a 1/72 VF-1 toy collection, for those who are, has KC attempted the following yet: Alaska base, Minmay Guard, Cavaliers, VF-X, VF-1D, Low Vis NAVY? If they haven't, these seem like better options than the 3-Ring Circus they're teasing. Though, I'll admit... their Angel Bird looked good, almost went for it.

The closest to a low viz Navy was the recent Focker Special paint edition... They are running out of TV canon schemes for VF-1A, J, and S....still need Cavs, Alaska Base, and the VF-1D, which would require some mold changes...and if they do that, they may as well do a VEFR-1...surprised they haven't released any "design your own" VFs...like the ones Yamato released...apparently their ability to do that on their own clearly is not working out...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioguy Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I remember when old BBC licensees like Dapol and Product Enterprise exhausted all the Dalek liveries that had been (up to that point), and just went crazy with odd colors, glitter, and then got graffiti artists to do paintjobs. Both moves were at the end of their licenses. I see CCP milking their molds for Godzilla (Hedorah even getting a graffiti version too), but like sofubi, there's more precedent of success in sales in that genre. Maybe now it will be with Macross too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spark-O-Matic Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 One solution is they could get a license from Bic West(Big West) or they could sell any Valkyrie they want, just you would have to assemble it and add labels/stickers? think about it they could have a parts generator with a picture of a Valk and broken down into its factory parts . you could piece together any valk you wanted in over a dozen defderent colors/styles and you would have to put it together after you receive your vanilla white box. everything would be sold just as parts and custom DIY Parts. you could just order 1 one oz part but they would still charge you full shipping for whole thing to avoid abuse . it would be a work around to get DYRL, Ostrich, Elitseeker, the whole series. they could open a brand for stickers/labels called StickerConceptz and sell them exclusively on ShowZ for every macross valk ever made or dreamed of to avoid legal issues with BW/Bandai. remember they are just selling replacement parts and DIY custom parts in a white box. no names and no labels. it falls under the right to repair and upgrade laws.

Spark-O-Matic Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Ok Bandai has 1/48 Scale, 1/90(100) Scale and 1/55 scale in the closet. what if KC created 1/35 DX type Scale with 100x more detail? why not add a new more desired scale? something even more premium to directly compete with Bandai. I would like a bigger DX type toy that includes everything in the box with no expensive add-ons . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
