Yamato's 1/60 VF-1A Hikaru Ichijo Valkyrie


Yamato announces the next 1/60 Valkyrie is.... Hikaru's VF-1a from Macross: Do You Remember Love? Due in August.

The photos show the VF-1A with Strike armor though it only appears with Super Armor in the film. Speculation is the Vf-1A will be packed with both the Super and Strike attachment. Will let you know when we know more.

I doubt it since stands are going for about $35 each.

Yamato started packing in stands with their Macross Zero releases and the YF-21 (but not the YF-19) also came packed with a stand. These stands are not however the same as the aftermarket stands you are referring to that run between $35 to $50. Thus us wondering whether a stand will be included.... like I said we will soon find out.

What are the differences between these new 1/60 vs. the old 1/60 of a few years ago ? From the pics this 1/60 series looks more like the 1/48.

Yeah, Yamato has taken all they have learned with the 1/48 and applied it to the new 1/60. No parts swapping is the biggest thing. Yamato has decided on 1/60 for all of their Macross product so everything will be in scale (Meanwhile Bandai is making the new DX Macross Frontier toys in the 1/60 scale as well.)

Oh, oh my. The proportions on the newer VF-1 releases look fantastic.

This will look amazing when it is released in the brown paint scheme as the VF-1A Cannon Fodder.
