Yamato Macross 7 1/60 VF-11C Thunderbolt III Preview

Posted on February 23, 2010 at 2:43 am by Shin Densetsu under Macross Toy News

CdnShockwave has posted images of his recently acquired VF-11C Thunderbolt from Macross 7! This 1/60 version was recently released by Yamato, after a few delays. It follows the release of the various VF-22S’ which started last year when Yamato acquired the Macross 7 license for 1/60 scale toys.

Known as the cannon fodder of the series, the VF-11C features a design similar to that of the VF-1 Valkyrie; which is quite fitting considering that the VF-11 is considered to be the true successor to the classic VF-1. Despite it’s cannon fodder status, the VF-11C was a highly anticipated release, featuring retooled parts to make it more animation accurate and distinguish it from the previously released, VF-11B.

With the announcement by Yamato that they are making a 1/60 VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie, what other Macross 7 releases could be next in 1/60 scale? Could the heavy armor, similar to the VF-1’s GPB armor parts, be released for the VF-11C later this year? Click on the title bar to see Yamato’s new VF-11C Thunderbolt III!

    This toy got damaged the 1st time I transformed it. I demanded for a replacement or service but I was redirected to a shop that specialized in fixing toys. My initial quote was 80 SGD for a fix. A parts replacement would cost 100+ SGD excluding shipping. I said screw that!

    Here's the damage and how I fixed it.

    The Problem


    Locking tab easily broke on the 1st transformation. My hunch. Because the flashing on the plastic was not trimmed properly, there was excess tension on the tab causing it to lock tighter. With the plastic being brittle, it easily broke off during release. Note that this tab is molded on the fuselage which is the most important part of the toy. To replace the part requires disassembling the main body of the figure.



    The consequence of that small locking tab breaking off is a nosecone that easily bends on the slightest push.

    The Fix.


    I used grade A non fast drying industrial steel epoxy for the job. I initially roughen the part where I applied the epoxy. I had the epoxy shaped to resemble the broken-off tab.


    After 24 hours, I trimmed excess epoxy to accurately replicate the original tab's proportions.


    It locks perfectly, securing the nosecone.

    The "Fix" was a success. The epoxy holds well and feels more resilient than the plastic.
