The 1/60 certainly looks nice, though the only offering currently are the VF-1S Roy Folker & VF-1A Hilaru type in the movie.

I'd love to get the TV version of Max and Milla VF-1J, or perhaps the Hikaru type with newly designed armored parts. I hate the 1/48 armored parts.

I hope I don't have to wait too long.

Looks good now that I see them next to each other. I was lamenting ordering one since I've got so many Valkyries already, including several in 1/48, one more just felt like overkill.

Don't fret, this is Yamato, you'll see the same ones done before, spread out over a year or two. I'm just hoping these don't suffer too much of the curse of Yamato when it comes to first releases.

I'm not really into valkyries/macross. And just like the transformers, they just don't give me the itch. I'm more into the old super robots-type. But after seeing these pics, with all the nice details, I must say that I'm impressed. Really impressed.

Oh, oh..its started again.:)

The 1/60 Valks are around 8 icnes high and the 1/48 are around 11 inches. The new hands for the 1/60 look a lot better than the 1/48. The YF-21 does not seem to have any first run quality control problems from the reviews I have read, so hopefully Yamato do the same with the VF-1S.

That is exactly what I am thinking and hoping for. Word is they have a new person in charge of Quality Control and it appears to be having an impact. Their last few releases have all been decent.

I hope they start churning these out so we can get the VF-1A Cannon Fodder, one of my favs and Max, Millia etc. I would also like to see some enemy mecha released.
