    So odd question. I'm starting to set displays for each Macross era (at least for what I collect). I'm going for 2-3 Valks for each along with their Idols. Do you think we will ever get a Sharon Apple figure? I already got the DYRL Minmay and working on getting a Sheryl Nome figure.

    Sharon Apple was done in the Macross Heroines line up, not in the chunky square version.

    There's a wack of Sheryl Nome figures and I'll let @tekering share the spotlight as well (your eariler comment got vaporwared according to my emails as it got answered I believe).

    Or you can go into MacrossWorld and its under the "Macross Figures" thread.

    @OmegaTaco Supreme

    Good Smile did a little set of the Macross girls in this style in their ”Nendoroid” line.

    I don’t recall seeing any others when I was looking a while back.

    you can occasionally find this whole set for 4k-5k yen at Mandarake.

    Yeah I wish they would come out with one like a lot of the Sheryl Nome figures. SO many to choose of from her. Of course the one I want of her is one of the more expensive ones..lol

    There is a Shapeways 3D print of Sharon Apple in the clunky CPU unit as well @OmegaTaco Supreme.

    Edited previous comment as it was answered.

    If your still wondering about the eventual DX YF-21, @jackisking and @OmegaTaco Supreme, the shown pre-production sample is still going under changes from the time it was shown in the Tamashii Nation's Exhibit at Akihabrara.

    I've got a 3D printed one I designed on Shapeways of her Computer box, I know it's not exactly the same thing but it's scaled to size with figmas/figuarts :)

    Wanted a yf19, but if I can get a 1/48 vf19, which is basically a yf19, but now it's bigger. Really interested, wanted to own a macross figure since childhood but don't wanna pay out the ass.

    Then get the Hasegawa 1/48 VF-19 Model Kit like what @tekering mentioned before he deleted his post. I'm sure Fleabay has some of the model kits in stock.

    Nearly all options for a YF-19/VF-19 figure are 1/60 scale, @Meister61 . Unless you want the very first release 1/72 from Yamato. They're cheap, and not very good figures.

    Yamato 1/72 YF-19 (few variants available) (cheap and not recommended)
    Yamato 1/60 YF-19 "v1" (few different variants of this) (inexpensive, but later figures were notably better)

    The rest of these average about $300 USD selling price, with exception to the VF-19k and VF-19P, which generally go for a bit more.

    Yamato 1/60 VF-19 (four variants: Emerald Force VF-19F and VF-19S; VF-19k fire valkyire, VF-19P "Zola Patrol" variant from Macross Dynamite 7)
    Arcadia VF-19k fire valkyire (ridiculous expensive)
    Arcadia 1/60 YF-19 "v2" (great figure but be ready to fix extremely loose ankle joints)
    Bandai DX 1/60 VF-19 advance
    Bandai DX 1/60 YF-19

    There is also a 1/48 scale non-transforming model kit from Hasegawa, but it requires significant paint and detailing.

    With a budget of under $100 euros shipped,,,,,, your options are extremely limited. Just the shipping alone right now to the UK is is not cheap.

    so you are stuck with either Yamato 1/72 YF-19 , or maybe a used Yamato 1/60 YF-19 "v1" but even those will probably required more money due to shipping cost.
    shipping alone from USA to UK is around $40 to $70 USD for USPS.

    This pretty girl just showed up on my doorstep. I think it was from a ladies late husband's collection. She even included a Thank you card for the purchase. It will definitely be well taken care of in my collection.

    Aw, that is awesome if you are indeed adopting a late collector's piece.

    Loosen up the three upper leg screws on each side before you do the transformation to either battriod or gerwalk @OmegaTaco Supreme !! ;)

    Thanks for the tip. I'm going to mess around with it tonight after my kids goes to sleep. I got it for my Xmas present this year to open it up with the kids Xmas day, so i need to hide it after I play around with it.

    I would argue any 1/48 YF-19 is not a figure, but a static model plane.

    I cant imagine how big it would look next to a DX VF-1. The DX 19 is giant alone next to it.

    Forgive my ignorance, but I have a Kitzconcept VF-1J coming in the next few days and I don't really know much about it. Is it licensed? Or a bootleg? I only ordered it because it was so much cheaper than the Bandai and other companies' Valkyries and the 1J is my second-favourite Valk, after the 19. Well, maybe tied for second with the VF-2.

    It’s legit. But licensed through Robotech/Harmony Gold.
