That's really the main thing that comes to mind, the valks and characters look cool imo, but they are following the same line from Frontier. They are fighting a "Var Syndrome" with music, it might play like 7 and bullets will be kept to a minimum. Just watch Schwarzesmarken and Delta back to back! Killer pics btw.
So much HI-METAL. Gah I need to get caught up on Arcadia before the Bandai swarm overtakes. At least I'm only interested in (mostly) the classic Macross stuff.
Looks like a remolded/remodeled YF-30. Even has the weapons pod on the back. I quite liked the YF-30 so I'm glad its not relegated to game only.
Er....actually slightly bigger. Going by masterpiece Starscream, put a 1/60 Valkyrie side by side with a F-15, they are actually almost in scale with each other. I'd say masterpiece Starscream is 1/55. 1/35 is actually pretty huge. Imagine a 1/48 battroid. Add 10cms to it in height. That's probably taller than a combiner wars gestalt.
hey guys, the day just got better! new pic, of vf-2ss , vf-4 flashback, vf-0a phoneix hi metal, and 1/60 bandai dx yf-19, and firevalk. Am i reading this right?! BANDAI YF-19!! - Toys - Macross World Forums
Wow, what a merchandising onslaught! Is that a Flashback 2012 VF-4 Lightning III that Bandai is releasing? *mind blown*
The MP cars, Optimus & Magnus are all around 1/35 and those are the Masterpiece figures I was talking about - not the seekers. Using the Spike & Daniel figures from those gives one an idea just how huge a 1/35 VF-1 would be.
You had me worried there. The Bandai VF-4 will be in the HiMetal line, not the 1/60 line. The only two 1/60s will be the YF-19 and VF-19 Fire Valk. Honestly, I am not even sure where the previous Bandai VF-19 Advance fits into the VF/YF-19 family tree, as it seems to have the wings of a Y and even the store listings confused it and some called it a VF-19 while others called it a YF-19. There is a lot of stuff coming out, and the Delta stuff interests me more now. Looking at the 31, it almost looks like a step backwards in a lot of ways, as its more blocky and less organic looking, especially in the legs. But it does all feel like Frontier part II, which isnt necessarily a bad thing to me. I am very interested in the new SV, right now largely for being a new SV more than anything else, as I am a fan of the SV line in general. I like the more industrial and functional designs. At the moment, the only 'must have' is the HiMetal Elint.
So ummmmm these Bandai guys really want to put a hit on on this Arcadia guys. BECAUSE MAN Bandai wants to corner the market on macross don't they? I go away from the internet for 6 hours and we have confirmed pictures of more MAC 7, Plus, VF-4 and VF2SS from Bandai? Good lord. Is this endless ejaculation?
Sorry i thought you were talking about the seekers as they are also jets and a better point of reference. That said a jet is way bigger than a car or truck. So its easier to imagine how much more bigger a 1/35 valk is compared to a 1/55-ish Seeker. Yeap. I hope they DX 1/60 it eventually! Frankly don't need another YF-19 and VF-19 Kai. I guess they are just making use of the VF-19ADVANCE mold. Will see what they bring to the table though. I hope they do. This is my dream come true. Frankly very annoyed with Arcadia's lacklustre quality. But seriously Bandai.... produce enough for the international market (although you technically legally shouldn't)
No. I promise the single engine splits into two legs. Look closer at the photos. That engine nozzle is clearly made up of two feet.
I think he was joking. Although I would love to see Kawamori troll the fans with a pogo stick battroid.
Where are you seeing any VF-4? Oh wait. I think I finally see it. All the way on the right? I almost didn't recognize it.
So, judging from the pics from Tamashii Nations. I guess we're getting a dude pop group and a girl pop group going head to head? Seems neat, and all the girls getting Valkyries (at least it seemed that way from the picture) reminds me of AKB0048, which Kawamori also worked on. I kinda wished they switched music genres again, but J-Pop's fine, I guess. As for SHF Britai, Sheryl, and Ranka...I'm not holding my breath, I have a really bad feeling those three will be stuck in Figuarts Purgatory forever. However, if they DO get released, I will buy them, and I hope they do well, so we can get a Nekki Basara. I NEED an SHF Basara in my life!
