    Each DX toy has sold out so I'm afraid I can't tell you how to hunt one down. If you're looking for something from Robotech, Transformers, Acid Rain, or just about anything else, head to Big Bad Toy Store via this link to find a sweet selection and help this channel in the process! www.bigbadtoystore.com/?ScorchedEarthToys

    The DX is also the first VF-1 toy to have an anime-accurate shoulder sliding transformation mechanism where the arms slide back on rails to go from fighter to gerwalk.
    This was first done on the original model kit.

    These new Bandai DX Macross Valks are what I consider to be the Metal Build versions of their incredibly impressive Gundam lines. I've never been a fan of Gundam but, their metal builds are mind blowing. So, I'm happy Bandai is reviving Macross in this fashion.

    Having to buy separate missiles for the BanDai DX VF-1 toys is nearly a deal breaker, despite how nice they are and including that barley good enough stand. The "First Edition" special bundles with the "special banking display stand" ( or "Fan Racer" with VF - 1D ) is a definite redeeming quality add on.

    Outstanding review! I own almost all of the Yamato 1:48 scale including strike parts for each one and the separate stands they sold for about $50. The Yamato 1:48 version with strike parts was the pinnacle of all Macross figures at the time, but these new Bandai DX figures are just as awesome, if not better looking. The salute pose from Do You Remember Love at 25:48 was the selling point for me. I'm on Ebay right now and it appears you can find the figure for about $400, about $150 for the strike parts....and this is what kills me....another $110-$230 for the missile set! Wow Bandai! Over $600 for a complete set??? But for the die-hard Robotech/Marcoss fan, this is probably a must. I'm going to contemplate this purchase the rest of the day, lol.

    Oh nvmind 9:27 I believe they did that narrower shape on the bandai looks great... 11:55 aahhh looks so great, the proportions remind me of the 1/60 lines. i sold my 1/48 yams and passed on the bandai to keep my collection for 1/60 only but now i want one :(

    I was lucky enough to get a Yamato back when they were only $100 on ebay. Had it a week....and the backpack hinge broke. Still looking for a spare or for someone printing spares. I cannot believe how much they go for now. Had I known I'd have got a second job and bought a few dozen back then lol
    Also, the Yamato were clean white when unboxed but they yellow over time with exposure to light, that's why they look off white. It could even be the plastic absorbs things from the air, dunno, mine has held up pretty well but I've had it in a glass case in gerwalk since the backpack broke.

    • @ScorchedEarthToys
      @ScorchedEarthToys  3 года назад +2

      There are four components to this:
      1) A trick of the eye. The Bandai is actually a light gray that your brain wants to recognize as white, maybe because of the gray background, which makes the 1/48 look more yellow
      2) Possibly a white balance issue from the camera trying to do the same thing
      3) The 1/48 was always a slightly warm white. You'll see the same thing with Super Takatoku 1/55 VF-1S toys.
      4) The 1/48 toy is old and probably a bit more yellow than the day it was made.

    The lack of missiles as included accessories for the DX has got to be the lamest move that Bandai has done lately. Talk about disrespecting your fanbase. The included extra stand with the VF-1J was totally unnecessary. I'm sure everyone would rather have had missiles instead. I would have settled for just the 4 missile clusters.

    GREAT comparison review! Thanks for sharing with us. I am excited to be picking up my DX VF-1S this week from a friend who will be bringing me one overseas. I do have the Yamato version as well and, I still love it. But, Bandai (IMHO) has killed the competition. Theirs is the ultimate gold standard.
    Question, has your Yamato one "yellowed" due to age? I am noticing it a lot more tan than the one I have. I know Yamato has been known to have yellowing on their white plastics.

    • @ScorchedEarthToys
      @ScorchedEarthToys  4 года назад +1

      I imagine it has, but it's completely uniform in color so if it has it's due from age rather than sun light. Yamato also used more of a 'bone white' on their DYRL 1/48 VF-1 toys which is much warmer in color than the DX or Arcadia which makes it stand out more.

    • @lorcannagle
      @lorcannagle 4 года назад +2

      Rights around toys appears to be weird in Japan, it seems that licenses are handed out based on scale, type of toy, and sometimes sub-section of the franchise. So Yamato/Arcadia had the rights to do 1/60 scale detailed toys for Macross, Zero, Plus and 7, while Bandai have the rights for 1/60 scale detailed toys for Frontier and Delta.
      But Bandai did that 1/60 YF-19, and only a few years after Arcadia reissued their one. So that might mean that Arcadia has lost the rights to Plus, or there's some rights-sharing going on, or because Bandai's DX line isn't explicitly scaled there's a loophole.
      Because Japanese companies are so tight-lipped about their internal workings, we likely won't know the score unless Arcadia or Bandai release another Macross Plus toy.

It looks more yellow when you put it next to a cool white (a little blue) of a DX toy. That said, it's more than 15 years old so a little yellowing is certainly possible.
