MACROSS VF-1J BANDAI DX CHOGOKIN 1/48 scale

[Tasuke]

to quote "Parker" from the movie ALIEN; "It's... -I Don't Know- It's just... BIG!!"

it is, without question, the VF-1 toy i've been waiting my life for. it's proportions are PERFECT. IN ALL THREE MODES.

oh, and WHAT A SATISFYING HEFT. that leg weight, supported by such a spindly hip bar assembly,
seems disturbingly delicate, but the metal throughout seems of top quality. hell, the metal feet are resonant, and ring when struck.

only time will tell, of course, but the quality seems positively peerless,
easily the closest to the rugged, reassuring quality of the TAKATOKU/BANDAI 1/55 Chunky any modern VF-1 toy has ever come, and, perhaps, ever will.

i don't know how BANDAI did it, but they certainly did, and how.
the proof of miracles is sitting right here, staring me straight in the face...

Those are awesome! I love seeing the different scales together, they almost look like they could be a little family.

I've only ever seen 'Robotech', so my reaction to the last picture was, "OH DEAR MERCY NO, NOT A ZENTRANI SIZE MINMAY!" lol

But that's an awesome mechha. Grats on getting it.

That's also what they based Generation 1 Skyfire off of... and they got in trouble for it. lol

I have learnt something new. Huh

I remember Robotech. I have a knock-off Veritch fighter and non transforminx Max and Miriya ones somewhere I think. Wouldn't mind seeing a proper unedited dub of Macross and Mosopedia.
