thought i'd share this one to you guys. found over the internet. not so sure, if it's the real deal but it's a CM for the Yamato's 1/60 YF-21. if it's the real deal then this is the first time we saw the prototype with its colors. cool. 
but then again, how come there's already a CM knowing there's no official image of the YF-21 yet... hmmm...

I'll back you up with that report The New Yamato 1/60 VF-1S Focker type (Summer 2008)
According to Graham from Macross World The new 1/60 VF-1 line will be fully transformable (seems still need to take off the engine covers) and am improvement of the 1/48 line - It has been engineered from the start to allow for 2 seaters (e.g. VF-1D (vt102) , VE-1 elintseeker and VT-1 super ostrich ). - Improvements over 1/48 include shorter nose cone in battroid mode (uses VF-0 type transformation), non-splitting foot thrusters and propotionally larger hands than the 1/48. - No moving flaps or removeable nose cone, but it does have some other interesting gimmicks. also acording to some other fans in MW - Cooler head sculpt - Really smooth legs - No low hanging shoulder problem in fighter mode - Really nice nose shape - Looks like the canopy isn't smashed like the 1/48 - No chicken hands (well base on the pic below and some earlier line arts, at long last they manage to fix this very long issue, THANK GOODNESS!!!) they manage to fix the couple of instances I didn't buy the old series, no offence on the collectors who bought the old series also it seems the arms can bend 180 degree and I think it will be the same scale as the VF-0 Just you to know, the differece on the between the 1:48 and New 1:60 is actuallly the 1:48 scale is base on the anime' universe therefore its scale is far bigger since the mecha basis that time is more particular to the other super robots trend e.g. gundam, while the NEW 1:60 is base on the actual scale of F14 tomcat and this was the fighter plane that gave spark to Kawamori to create the phenominal series Scans for Hobby Japan   JUST PASSING BY X-MAS EVE IS COMMING BUSY BUSY BUSY ;D ;D ;D |

errr.....so which one is bigger??? the old 1/48 1S series or the new 1/60 1S series??? or will itl be the same size and height for both??? in that case it aint a complete re-incarnation of the old 1/60 1S series??? in that case....seems to me Yamato is just putting the fans a little twist to give them the sales again!!! geeeessshhhh what a marketing strat!!!
i bought the old 1/60 1S...but i sold it off due to the head sculpt....it look like a squashed 1s....but the die cast is really nice!!! a nice feel due to weight!!! :lol:

mojackoBro to make my point simple: -The old VF 1:48 and VF-0 1:60 is almost in the same height. -The scale of the old 1:48 and old 1:60 are base on the anime' universe and its quite bigger, like they scale on the other old mecha series e.g. gundams(Kawamori also worked on some of the gundams maybe the basis on his scale are contrasted to it) -The NEW VF-1 1:60 maybe as big as the VF-0 1:60 series even in terms of proportion, articullation and anime' accuracy. On some reviews the scale of the VF-0 are base on the scale of the actual tomcat.

@ lady..... if were gonna base it from ur guess then im keeping my hopes high....a new 1/60 having the same size as current 1/48...but its relatively cheaper than 1/48 is really a big big bang on ur bucks!!! :lol: BTW where did u get those info abt those anime universe??? geeesshhhh thats deep moja!!! its a blog featuring gundam designers its close right now I dunno why  they have this dicussion about gundam scale and other mecha series and since Kawamori also contributed some gundam design they dicuss how big really is a gundam compared to the other super robots during the 80's and early 90's 'coz they dont really have an accurate scale(look how Dendrobium Orchis became extremely too big) that time like always they only rely on the height of a 6' person in order to scale. Don't worry If I have time I'll seach for it again if its still existing Not all those are my guess some came form the forum. Regarding on all the feasible new features I hope they are all true I really got my HOPES sky high! NYAHA!! but eventually will just wait and see right |

the very reason why the 1/48s are quite expensive is it has the most small parts with molds are big and expensive, and making a mold for a big piece is a lot easier and cheaper than making molds for several small pieces which are integral to the 1/48s..
now if they are to implement it on an even smaller VF-1.. then we can only hope for a price slightly slightly different from the orig first 1/60s.. and for the budget conscious macross fans, i don't think this isn't that much of a good new at all..

i don't mind too.. who isn't budget conscious to start with??  1/48 being dead.. yeah, apparently 1/48 collectors would finally get their much needed rest hehehe.. |

they have this dicussion about gundam scale and other mecha series and since Kawamori also contributed some gundam design they dicuss how big really is a gundam compared to the other super robots during the 80's and early 90's 'coz they dont really have an accurate scale(look how Dendrobium Orchis became extremely too big) that time like always they only rely on the height of a 6' person in order to scale.
