PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 It looks great, but it already appears that the booster needs to be removed for gerwalk and remounted for battroid or fighter modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 A bunch of Japanese fans are already asking for a 3000 now too. I chimed in praising them for making the obscure stuff the true fans want, then suggested a 1/3000 SDFM Macross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Holy crap, this is the best kind of surprise. One noteworthy point, you can see the tires in the legs rotated to lay flat. Nice to see them taking that step after all these years. Definitely in for a pair, depending on pricing, but I hope they dig up a few alternate schemes to milk the mold with, since the stock one never really appealed to me.

wmkjr Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) @Tage If your still here, are you gonna get one of these to go with yours? Edit: Seems T-Rex is involved in this project. Since it's got the supers, why not throw in the variant head and speakers? Edited February 6, 2022 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the VF-5000 is about the size of the VF-1, here's hoping but likely wishful thinking they won't price it much higher than the VF-1... Size isn’t the only determining factor in price though. This looks like a VF-1 but the transformation is more complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I'd definitely buy all these variants as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) The VF-5000 always looked like a cross between the VF-1 and VF-19 for me, but it's got a few unique bits to the transformation, especially how the arms fold up. And yeah, I would personally prefer all of those variants to the default scheme, but that's not going to stop me from buying the first release.

From Macross Mecha Manual. That's not bad. I don't know if I like it as much as the blue on white though. The blue on white harkens back to classic Max. The extra beige highlights on the nose and the joints do make a nice accent that isn't present on the white and blue/red versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 The blue striped and red striped variants are Max and Milia’s from Macross M3 which make them extra nice. Here’s a cool custom scheme from Maester March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurance Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I always liked how the lower arm missile pods fold up from fighter to battroid. It’s a bit more unique than the later “put a shield there” transformations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's use official stats in Fighter form since there's no available stats for Battroid and Gerwalk mode for the VF-5000. Based on Macross Mecha Manual, the VF-19 Fighter length is 18.47 meters. The VF-5000 Fighter length is 14.03 meters. The VF-1 Fighter length is 14.23 meters. I'm guessing in Battroid mode, it will stand or close to VF-1 or VF-11.

Macross dialect/colloquial/accent is what makes the macross world go round... Ma-Ma... Just bought a valk......took out the card and couldn't wait, pressed F5 and now is paid... Yup, its as if we could travel to the future to see how easy/hard it is. The whole arm folding on to itself is a sight to behold..(although am not sure if thats how its actually supposed to turn out?) A different type of transformation always brings an added dimension to so-called valk magic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
