The latest issue of Hobby Dengeki features new images of the following Macross items by Tamashii:- DX VF-27 Lucifer
- DX VF-25F Tornado Messiah
- VF HI-METAL VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie
- VF HI-METAL VF-1J Valkyrie
The 1/60 DX VF-27 from Macross Frontier features significant improvements over the DX VF-25's. These new improvements make it more appealing to fans. Shown also is the DX VF-25F Tornado Messiah from the recent Macross F movie. The 1/100 VF HI-METAL Fire Valkyrie will be released in early 2010 and is a significant improvement over the 1/65 DX VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie from over 15 years ago! Could the improvements shown on the HI-METAL Fire Valkyrie be carried over on a new, 1/60, DX Fire Valkyrie? The new images also reveal, for the 1st time, the swappable parts on the VF HI-METAL VF-1 Valkyrie! It is a perfect transformation VF-1, however the following parts can be swapped:- Hands
- Heatshield/canopy
- Landing gear
- Rifle parts
Note, the aforementioned parts are not necessary to swap for transformation(except for having to remove the landing gear). The heatshield or canopy, like the original 1/55's, can remain on. There are also significantly less removable parts compared to the 1/100 VF-1 Valkyrie toys from Toynami. Being that the hands shown are the rounded, TV style hands, the 1st release will most likely be the VF-1J Hikaru Custom. What we have seen is a move towards less and less swappable parts for the VF HI-METAL series. If, let's say a YF-19 Excalibur or VF-4 Lighting III is ever released in the line, could they completely do without swappable parts? Click on the title bar to see more! |
