    I haven't seen them posed with Transformers very often. I only have a selective TF collection myself consisting mostly of Alternators/Binaltechs, Masterpieces, Alternities and some Classic/Henkei pieces. I only have a webcam for photos currently too... but I can snap anything you want to see.

    That is indeed the Yamato VF-1S (version 2) due for release soon. The swing-bar that attaches the legs to the hips is fiddly and prone to breakage if you're not careful, otherwise it's a great toy.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    If anyone is interested in acquiring Toynami Masterpiece Veritechs or the original V1 Yamato 1/60 valks, gimme a PM as I'm looking to trim and streamline my collection of Macross valkyries/veritechs.
    If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you

    I only asked for pics with Transformers so I can get a sense of scale. Any pics with Classics will be fine if you can do it.

    From what I have seen, I will probably get a 1/60 but mostly focus on 1/100.

    I still like the Revoltech Kanzen Henkei so I will still get them and I have found the Revoltech Regult which should fit in perfectly with them.

    What are your opinions of the Bandai VF100 series? Does it fit in with the Toynami 1/100?

    Your help has been invalueable

    Here's a pic with TFs for scale comparisons:



    From left we have 1/60 version 1 Yamato VF-1S, followed by Bandai 1/55 VF-1S, Toynami 1/55 Masterpiece VF-1S and then Henkei Prime.

    Thanks. Thats what I was after

    So what size was G1 Jetfire? 1/55?


    Ha, this thread has gone from being about the Kanzen Henkei to a general Macross/Robotech thread

    Yes, Jetfire was a 1/55 Takatoku/Bandai Valkyrie. And there's a general Macross thread here:

    Raider: Sorry to nitpick, but I've noticed that you've twice mispelt "Kanzen" as "Kazen." Just be a bit careful cos as you know "Kanzen Henkei" (完全変形) means "Perfect Transformation", but "Kazen Henkei" (果然変形) means "Unexpected Transformation." Like perhaps if a Battroid were to transform into a giant wooden badger.
