baronv Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I just finished watching Macross II and while it may not be the most exciting story, some of the enemy mech Marduk designs looked real well done. Has there been a toy or models of the enemy figures every sold? How about the updated destroids as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 There are two that I know of. A 1/100 Gigamesh (what's-his-name's powedered suit) by B-Club, and a 1/72 Marduk battle pod, which came with the Musasiya 1/72 VF-2SS 'Vs. Set' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myersjessee Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Thats the only two I have seen as well...never saw the Destroids.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 The ones that come with the VF-2SS I don't think are 1/72 though, they look out of scale to me compared to the fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Was there ever a kit or the VF-2JA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain america Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 There were two kits of the VF-2JA made by B-CLUB: one fighter mode, and one battroid, both in 1/100 scale. OK sculpt, nothing amazing, but definitely nice subject matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 The VF-2SS kit's Marduk battle pods are about 1/200th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronv Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Any body have a link to images of the Gigamesh or the battlepods? I'm guessing that they're very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwwmwww Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Well here are the VF-2JA kits: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/b-club/b-club.htm And the best picture I have on-line at the moment of the battlepods is here: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models...musa_v2_box.jpg Its not the best picture though. I don't think any pictures of my Gigamesh are on line at the moment. I'll fix that if I can find it. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myersjessee Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 if anyone ever wants info on macross models, games etc. please look at macrossworld im sure you'll find what you're looking for unfortunatly, in this case the Gigamesh is not there, and there are not really any good pictures of the Marduke Pods...Grayson or someone had a picture of a diarama with them...but I can't find it.

wwwmwww Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Still no scanner guys or I'm sure I could get you better pics. I hope that'll change after I find a job. Anyways here are all the Macross 2 resin kits that I'm aware of. I think this is it anyways. It took me about 3 hours of digging to find the Gigamesh so its possible I've still got something burried someplace. Enjoy... Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwmwww Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 The kit on the top left is the VF-XS Valkyie-II. Its 1/144 and made by AlucarD. It was an event only release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwwmwww Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 The kit on the top right was another event only release I got off Yahoo Japan a couple years ago. It had a very simple stylized drawing of the VF-2SS on the box cover that I really liked though I don't think Shawn cared for. Anyways when I got it there was no box. The seller had said he'd lost it which I had a hard time buying as he had the box to take the picture for the auction but what could I do... he was in Japan. I'm also sad to say I've since lost the picture from the auction too. I believe it was on my PC at work which I lost access to when I lost my job. If I had a copy at home I either can't find it or it was lost in one of the PC crashes I've had in the last couple years. I don't think I ever had any information on who the maker of this kit was unless it was on the box art pic which I don't think I have any more. [shawn, if you are reading this do you think you saved that picture?] I believe this is a 1/100 scale VF-2 battloid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I hate not knowing where something is I just went and dug it up too. Here is the new group shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
