PSA @Shawn Just in case you come across a bootleg that carries a blue, dark grey, or white GU-11. It actually belongs to an oversized 1/100 that is in similar scale to a 1/72.

I wish someone would oversize the 1/55 to 1/20 scale. And retain it’s full transformation abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Been wanting a mega-sized original style 1/55 VF-1 PT for decades...had a little hope when the wave of super-sized Transformers started being released by 3P companies...but it never materialized...it seems original Macross 3P creations started and ended with the SD Makurosu....although the 3D print entrepreneurs are very active...but I have no time to build and paint....unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be amazing if someone like Fanstoys would take a stab at the VF-1. After all most of the wanted characters have been done. Once FT s done some other 3P and supersize it with slight improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 I recall a long time ago, on a MW thread long forgotten....someone had started to work on one...guessing the project went nowhere...I think there were actually two guys taking a stab at it...one was doing it in wood and another using metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t recall ever seeing pics of the VF-1. Do you have any to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvmacross Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Not sure...don't really follow anything related to Mospeada....but this would have been longer than the site currently goes back to...tried to search on thecweb...but came up empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 I want to say the guy doing the upscaled 1/55 was from Mexico....those old post are long gone...maybe I can check on Wayback Machine's internet archives for the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm gonna say Mari signed as Minmei That M and the I at the end sure seem the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Wow, if so, that must be worth a pretty penny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 oh..there is a misunderstanding. Those boxes are all pre-signed-it is part of the artwork I threw out a theory that all the names on the sides were signed by their actual voice actors So Mari Iijima signed Minmei for the box art design I'm sticking to that story!

Bolt Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 But is it a printed signature or a hand written sig..? Looks hand written. Wouldn't that make it worth more ? You mean they were ALL done that way, so it's not very rare ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 All pre-printed on the boxes. I just like the idea of their sigs on them all, gives it an extra sense of reality. And the face that they used some pre-prod looking Hikaru art, the 1/100 line is very unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boxes use the same art between both the 1/100 and 1/55...including the early lineart for Hikaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
