This thread is for discussion of all Macross toys that have been made for nearly three decades - from Takatoku's 1/55 VF-1 Valkyrie "Chunky Monkey" to the current toys made by Bandai and Yamato Toys.

If you have pics of your Macross collection, post them here, but NO quoting of images on replies - especially multiple images. We want to make this thread convenient for all fans without forcing everyone to scroll through the same pictures over and over again.

First off, here's my small collection:

1/60 Macross: Do You Remember Love? VF-1S Valkyrie / Strike Valkyrie (Yamato Toys, 2001)

More than 16 years after Bandai released the lackluster DX 1/65 scale toy, Yamato Toys will finally bring out a proper replica of the VF-17 Nightmare from Macross 7.

That's nice! I do wish they release a Armored and Tornado combo pack for Robot Spirits VF-25F. (NOT web exclusive, I'll be mad if they did XD)

You heard wrong then. They're not meant to attach to the new ones at all.The problems with the old ones were that they caused breakage on the figure. The new figures and packs take into account that the figure will be equipped with extra weight, so hopefully that means Bandai solved all the breakage issues.

The version 1 armor parts fit the Renewal Version units only if you do a lot of modifying to them. And once you do that, they cannot be used in the version 1 units anymore.

Also, one of the key complaints about the Armored Messiah version 1 was that on Gerwalk mode, the back of the fuselage would cave in to the weight of the armored parts. There are pegs that support the weight by attaching between the fuselage and the back of the legs, but this further restricts leg poseability when it already cannot do a proper A-stance. The Renewal Version has a swing bar that attaches to the pelvis to support the fuselage and hold the gun pod in Gerwalk mode without hindering leg poseability.
