That armor is very cool! Makes me want to pick one up!

[Valkyrie Magnus]

I want it too! Looks great

[Murphy]

Is this a official release? If so awesome!

[arrow]

I would love to get a yf-25 but I have to prioritize the frames I don't have such as the 29 & 30

[The Old Man]

Judging by the pics, it looks like a fan made repaint of existing super/armour parts?

[Kanedas Bike]

The Paladin parts are cool (like them more in Battroid than in Fighter) but I'm quite sure those are custom made and not official.

-b.

[jenius]

C'mon Bandai! DO IT!

[Shukenzero]

It's custom made, but never rule out Bsndai. Usually the model get's scratch built, and later down the line, the model/toy gets an official release. I'm sure this one has a very slim chance, considering the obscurity, and it's connection to Macross the Ride.

[ULessa]

Thank you so much for sharing that, I think I bought the last one. For those wondering what the big deal was, it was priced at just $91.63 with free shipping.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical that the seller is going to deliver, because that price is just too good to be true! If it arrives though, I'll definitely be back to thank you again, ULessa!

Well, no harm in trying. If anything happens you'll get your money back anyway (fingers crossed)

I did get a YF-29 30th Anniversary for $110 on Amazon so I'm damn happy with that (THINK its new, didn't transform to check joints)

[007-vf1]

We are going back to the gundam swords..??

[jvmacross]

Well....they already have knives...and the VF-11B had a bayonet...

[Sildani]

And you could argue the VF-27's blade is long enough to count as a shortsword.

[Jasonc]

Glad the new pics in Dengeki Hobby confirm what I had though. I'll need to recast the rear armor piece to hold the lance. I'll need some rework on mine.

[master of macross]

but it's prototipe or bandai tamashii production?

[Gakken85]

Fly me closer, I want to hit it with my lance!

[technoblue]

I haven't read Macross the Ride. Is the YF-25's lance anything like Captain Harlock's gravity sabre?

[Jasonc]

Is this issue out now? I may need to get one to see how they did the left knee.

[Aye Aye]

I may be off here, but isn't Macross the Ride sponsored by Hasegawa, and wouldn't that make it essentially improbable for the pally part set to come out for the DX YF-25? I hope I am wrong on this and this actually comes to light. Well, guess Bandai also sponsors the series and Shoji provides editorial supervision....hmmm

[jenius]

It might make one more person that'd need to make money off it but it wouldn't be more than that (I'd think).

Question for those that have both: how does the blue on the YF-25 compare to the blue on the VF-25G? I'm wondering how the 25G tornado parts would look on the YF-25.

[The Old Man]

I think they'll look good. I haven't got the 25G tornado parts yet, but Saburo took some pics of the YF-25 with the 25G super parts.

I can take some pics of the YF-25 with the G Tornado Parts once my parts arrive.

Thanks Old Man, I had forgotten I had taken those shots.

[Scream Man]

On our podcast this week I asked my buddy who live sin Japan to translate these. He says it is just an interview with a guy who made the custom armor. So not coming out anytime soon.

Quick question- did they forget to put on the right knee armor or does it only come with the left knee armor? Sorry, I never watched the shows so I wasn't sure.

[fairchild22]

the colors are kinda an eye sore, but still pretty.

[wmkjr]

Maybe it's supposed to look like a jousting knight where it armored on the defensive side. Didn't read the novels but maybe it's used for the capture the flag portion.

Yes, wife translated the entire article. Custom build, where the builder is basically taking you through step-by-step on how he created the kit. Nothing official, other than he used an existing super armor pack, which he paint matched for the YF-25.

Oh yeah totally, Yogurt is milking this one, but I kind of think it is cool if they did an armor add-on for the YF-25 in some shape or form. Its an obscure valk to sort of begin with in the Mac:F series, so its existence, while not necessary from a toy build standpoint, is still pretty freakin' cool.

Where da real money from da movie is made!

[mog_kupo]

Its back on HLJ

[Shanban]

It's showing discontinued in hlj.

[mog_kupo]

Well it was up for around 20 minutes

[Jasonc]

Got the issue of Dengeki Hobby. That's one sweet work. Not much of a fan on this color for the armor, as I think Macross the Ride had the armor in a more shiny look, to mimic the look of armor a "Knight" would wear. This one doesn't seem to have that flare.
