New Yamato Macross Items Including 1/60 Low Visibility VF-1S

Posted on May 15, 2009 at 1:51 am by Shin Densetsu under Macross Toy News

Yamato has several new Macross items on display at Shizuoka Hobby Show, including new additions to their 1/60 line, and the first public display of the GN-U Dou VF-1 figures.

The newest addition to the 1/60 line is the Low Visibility VF-1S. Depending on which episode of SDF Macross you watch, this is the closest thing so far to a TV-accurate Skull 1! It provides a significant contrast to the “hero” colors of Hikaru’s VF-1J. This is the first low viz VF-1 in the 1/60 line. Other VF-1 variants shown include the of the VF-1J production version(TV), and VE-1 Elint Seeker.

Also shown is Yamato’s Fan Racer model kit, made popular in the 1st episode of Macross. This model is in 1/60 scale and is the 1st Macross model kit by Yamato.

New 1/60 toys based on designs from Macross Plus & Macross Dynamite 7 were on display as well. Shown are the orange trimmed YF-19 Prototype #3 Bird of Prey, and YF-19 Prototype #4 Double Nuts. The latter differs from the version shown here on Yamato’s site, which shows faded blue trim as opposed to red. From Macross Dynamite 7 is the VF-22S Sturmvogel II. Yamato has stated that the YF-19’s shown will be of higher quality compared to previous YF-19 releases.

The GN-U Dou VF-1 figures on display include the VF-1S Super Valkyrie, VF-1A TV Max Custom, VF-1A production version(TV), VF-1A TV Kakizaki Custom, & VF-1J Hikaru Custom. These figures feature animated styling and superb articulation.

Lastly, Yamato placed their 1/1 scale U.N. Spacy Pilot Helmet from Macross Do You Remember Love? on display.

    Yamato showed a whole bunch of stuff at Shizuoka, the Macross Plus/Dynamite 7 YF-19's, & VF-22S, GN-U Dou VF-1 toys, Fan Racer Plamo, some previously revealed 1/60 VF-1 variants, and revealed for the first time, the Low Visibility VF-1S!

    Oh GOD YEAH! Low Viz Skull 1 looks like the TV version, I don't care if it's not completely accurate, it looks close enough and geez it looks great!

    Actually I prefer the low vis versions of the VF-1s over the traditional white ones....

    There is something more realistic about the look for me...

    Same here, I think grey suits Roy's character very well too. In grey, the skull1 looks more militaristic.

    I had a proxy buyer secure me the 1/60 Fan Racer kit at the show, now I just need some glue, paint and some time. So if anyone has the colour codes for the orange/red I need to use, I'd appreciate it.

    I can't wait for the 1/60 scale low visibility VF-1S!

    Not too sure if you guys know of it, and I can't quickly find an online free pic of it (box art by Tenjin Hidetaka), but there was a 1/72 scale model kit by Hasegawa in 2003 of a low vis VF-1A (numbered 003)? It makes me wonder if the gang at Yamato will follow suit and release "non canon" generics in their new one to sixtieth scale perfect transformation series...

    And whilst I'm wishing now I know it may sound a bit pre-mature, but what I really really want is (a new version of) the GPBS-1 Armour for my VF-1J.

    Well we can add that to the wish list...

    I think we'll see it sooner than later, the fins on the legs of the VF-1 toy already fold to accommodate it, there is no other reason for them to fold.
