fifbeat Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) You know, the problem with you MacrossWorld custom show-offs is that you do the same crap over and over again. Your customs are fantastic, but lack a certain "nostalgic" something I'm sure EVERYONE in this forum has been wanting to see -- JET FIRE! Afterall, most of us had Jet Fire as our first valk. Time to give it some props. (this post is all-in-fun; but hell, you gotta admit, it would be cool if someone did one). Maybe valkyrie-exchange.com can donate a 1/48 valk (hehe)...

zeo-mare Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 hi i asked for this a while back no one has done one yet, I was planning on doing one for myself and posting the pics. but I have been somewhat short on funds so i can not save up and get the 1/48 i need for it. hopefully we will see one soon, I always thought that this one would make a real nice custom Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Someone customed a 1/60 into a Jetfire a long time ago here. It looks very nice and some parts were changed to make it look better. I'm too lazy to dig it up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 You know, I always wondered WHY just WHY they called Sky Fire, Jet Fire, and WHY he just looked like a VF-1 rip off? Than I read one of the new comics and walah! 0_o it's armor, thank god it's just armor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawjaw Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Because it would be stupid to take a $200 valkyrie w/ armor and turn it into a cheesy looking knock-off. I know the Jetfire is legit but it's basically a bootleg. I like Jetfire's with the nostalgia and all, but I much rather have the real thing or the type of custom's the pro's are making here.

EXO Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I'm surprised there was none at Botcon. I was almost sure there would be. The 1/60 was by RTH. It's bootleg! Even though it was licensed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaine23 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I'm sure somebody archived the 1/60 Jetfire by RTH, which was really awesome. Basically we haven't seen any custom 1/48 because there has to be certain filling of requirements in that equation. Someone who digs Jetfire + And is also willing to sacrifice a $200 valk + And who has either the skills or money to make it = 1/48 Jetfire. Until you get those three requirements, it ain't gonna happen. We saw alot more "out there" customs with the 1/55 and 1/60's because they were pretty available and relatively cheap. It seems most of the custom 1/48's have been pretty reserved by comparison. And basically, that's a money issue. The 1/48 is an expensive toy to mess with.

I think many people wanted it when he posted it the first time. It'd be interesting what kind of hysteria a 1/48 would make at the TF2005 boards.

It looks so stock. I remember the first time I saw it my mind had to figure out why Jetfire had gotten so dern poseable. Took my brain a few seconds to realize it was a 1/60...
