David Hingtgen Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 I prefer the F as well. The S has *5* head lasers. Yeesh.
VF5SS Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 VF-19S was total hotness. Look at that head. damn son.
danth Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 VF-19S was total hotness. Look at that head. damn son. Agreed on the head, but too bad about the wings.
Uxi Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 I love the whole thing... I'd probably prefer a different paint scheme... low-viz?
General Chaos Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 S type Blue and Gold all the way! We are getting ahead of ourselves here though.
Ivan Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Yamato are aiming for the end of the year for the 19Kai, so it will probably be a while before we see and prototype pics or CAD lineart. Graham hmm.. nothing new until end of year? So I guess 2010 will mostly consist of reissues and re-paints Edited March 4, 2010 by Ivan
Uxi Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 And spring next year probably wouldn't be absurd, if end of the year is just a target.
bluemax151 Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 VF-19S was total hotness. Look at that head. damn son. "I'd buy that for a dollar!"
UN Spacy Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 Oh how I wish there was already a preorder link at Ami Ami.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Well it's a good bet it will be shown at Wonderfest coming up when you think about, showing us something to drool over then making us wait 6 or so months! Gonna see this thing while i'm over there i hope!!
thankheaven Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 I wonder how they are going to do the antennas/head lasers in fightermode. The HI-Metal version had to remove them since there is no room for those tall antennas to be completely covered up. Or perhaps they will change the design so they do poke up. I hope they find a way to make them completely hidden and still PT.
Uxi Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 There would be room in the YF-19 sculpt if they turn the head around backwards, probably (so that the fins point into the body). It would be better if they came up with a better covering mechanism, though.
areaseven Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Knowing that the Fire Valk is bulkier than the YF-19, I'm sure Yamato will pull off more tricks in their 1/60 version than we expect. I actually could care less about the Fire Valk (as Basara is one of my least favorite characters in the entire Macross universe), but I'm really hoping for this model to influence Yamato to make the VF-19S Blazer Valk and the VF-19P.

Dobber Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Funny, I was just thinking that this was the first year in a while that there wasn't anything new comming out in the summer at all or that i wanted from yamato. Looking forward to finally seeing some progress pictures of the VF-19. Hope the sculpt is a big improvement over the YF-19. Chris
eugimon Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 much more interested in that production version 1/2000 SDF-1
CF18 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 much more interested in that production version 1/2000 SDF-1 ++ Yamato's page don't mention anything about the scale though.
Ignacio Ocamica Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 much more interested in that production version 1/2000 SDF-1 Let's hope it will be affordable!!
boyarque Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 As for me, I've never liked the Macross7 series or movie...to corny for me... But, a YAMATO 1/60 VF-19!!! I say bring it on baby!!! Will be selling my remaining TFs for this one....lol!

That's what I thought when I first watched a few episodes 5 years ago, but now that I've started watching it in earnest, it's actually quite fun if you're a fan of Gamlin. I'll still wait for a blazer or a repaint though, since I dislike gaudy coloured valks (also a reason why I collect CFs). Edited April 29, 2010 by raptormesh

I'll still wait for a blazer or a repaint though, since I dislike gaudy coloured valks (also a reason why I collect CFs). I hated mac 7 the first time i watched it. but it being part of macross, i decided to give it another chance. boy, i'm so glad i did! before i knew it, I was cheering on Basara everytime he went out singing! When u reach the last 5 or 6 episode, the whole series goes into a climax of epic proportions! Call it a silly series for kids with goofy bad guys, but basara's belief in the power of music won me over and i even listen to his songs now. not everyone's cup of tea i know, but give it a chance and maybe u'll be surprised
boyarque Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 believe me, I did give the series a chance...and still the only thing positive for me are the mechas, heh....can't wait for teaser pics of vf-19 and vf-17! owh, btw, this is just my personal opinion...not intended to offend Mac7 fans out there....

Twoducks Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 We got CAD! From: http://ngeekhiong.blogspot.com/2010/05/yamatos-160-fire-valkyrie-others-from.html Is is me or do I see a nice thin neck (as in "no gullet") or did they just drop the nose like the Bandai 1/100?
thankheaven Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Head looks exposed in fightermode like YF-19. I hope they add some sort of cover to put over it like the HI-METAL does. The head on the Kai is supposed to be completely hidden in fightermode.
Chronocidal Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 I don't mind a bit about the exposed head really.. I leave the cover off the Hi-Metal anyway because I don't care to swap all those tiny parts. That CAD though... bothers me. Severely. The views of the nose don't look too bad on their own, but that top view is very, very wrong. Not quite Bandai 1/65 wrong, but close. They may have dropped the nose, which I like.. but the LEX should NOT extend ahead of the canards!
Actar Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 but the LEX should NOT extend ahead of the canards! I apologise, but what does this actually mean?
CF18 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 but the LEX should NOT extend ahead of the canards! Are you sure? Line art: http://www.macross2.net/m3/macross7/vf-19custom/vf-19custom-fighter-fulldetail.gif
Chronocidal Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 True, I admit I was looking at the Hi-Metal when I said that, and that version has the hip joint fairly far back, pushing the LEX further behind the canard. (btw, LEX= leading edge extension, the upper portion of the hips above the main intake) Maybe I should rephrase what I mean... the nose just looks too short. The space between the canards and the head looks really compressed, and it pushes the top of the hips clear up to the canopy. Even that line art shows the front edge of the hip plate falling under the canards, not ahead of them (on the top view anyway.. yay for line-art ) Eh, I'm just paranoid. I just hate these "wait and see" bits. Hopefully we'll see a bit more CAD work soon like we did with the YF-19.
kanedaestes Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Looking at the line art the nose doesn't seem too short either.
Knight26 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 There is definitely a droop to the nose, but the gullet also looks slimmed somewhat, not sure about the LERX, need to check the lineart, but overall it looks promising. If it pans out wait for YF-19 V3 with the improvements made here, lol.
VF5SS Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 if you look close the VF-19 will have the opening Battroid cockpit gimmick.
