Yeah, unfortunately. That stand is really stupid too, it puts all of the pressure on the neck while all of the weight is at the aft in fighter.

Except in the original Television series the tips were red and (the one place you see them in Plus) This is Animation book the tips are colored red. The red tip makes them look more menacing to me.

It looks like they based all of their colors off of the This is Animation books... except for the yellow tips on the Reaction Warheads. I'm not sure why they always favor yellow.

Antibioctab's video makes it look more brown. But back on topic, Isamu's look bad-ass. Not sure which mode to keep it in.

Hmm. Man, I really hope that isn't the color. I don't like it much.

That always makes me think of this song because of the giant breakdown with the Oppenheimer quote.

I'm hoping it's just the lighting there. If it's more olive then brown I'm not going to be happy.

From what I've been reading this is actually the teaser trailer originally shown at SDCC in 2012 so it's very likely they've changed how Godzilla looks by now (if that rumor is true.)

I'm surprised Bat uses a zoom lens of any kind. His pics are so clear I always assumed he had a fixed length. In other news, I've been pouring over various pics and I'm beginning to think they did actually change the way the ankles work compared to the VF-19 series. It looks like it might be a bit more like the VF-4 in terms of ankles. If that's the case I'll be ecstatic. I'm also wondering how the leg packs attach. Hopefully it won't be too fiddly to get into fighter with all of that on.

In addition to the camera type, you also want to consider what lens he may have been using. They make a big difference. It's likely if his camera is 100 times more expensive then yours, the lens could be 200+ times more expensive.

Not getting into politics here but is that Consumption Tax a National Sales Tax?

I didn't realize you had taken a video for us anti! So cool, thanks!

But it's not on the lineart you posted. Nor is it on the lineart of each of the three modes posted a few pages back.

Somebody is going to have to circle this spot for me because I still don't know what everyone is talking about.

I specifically have a beat up V.2 1J and 1S I keep around in case my nephew ever wants to play with any of my Valks. The rest are "don't touch" but he's usually pretty happy with just the 1J and 1S. My ex-girlfriend's son too, though he REALLY wanted to play with my 17's.

I find it interesting that so many web shops are limiting sales to just one. I thought this was going to be made-to-order. Unless they're really worried about someone ordering ten then cancelling all of them it's a little odd (then limit to three or something.)

Doesn't have to be Ravens...

Except for the 1J all of Arcadia's new releases are Web Exclusive only. I think they've figured out what everybody was doing here and shut that right down. Now everything that isn't sold is going to be rare and $500+ unless it's reissued.

I wonder if that means there won't be any other versions of the YF-19 too? Also, Olive Drab Gun pod looks sick!

The close ups of those intakes are interesting. They definitely hold together/transform different. Hopefully they hold together well. Love the missiles attached. I wish we could see some pics of the 19 right side up with the missiles but I imagine they're a bit heavy for the resin prototype (or maybe they'll trickle more out over the next few days.) Seeing some on in Gerwalk (maybe Battroid?) would be interesting too.

You're wrong. I've had a 19F sitting on my shelf in fighter with the gun pod attached since release and it's holding fine with no sagging. I'm not sure what the issue is with the gunpod. Really, the best complaint you could make is that it doesn't point straight ahead on the fighter, but hanging low in fighter won't affect it in any way.

Good price, but they don't ship Fed Ex.

I think you're off base. In most of the pics it's obvious the wings aren't swept all the way, likely due to being a loose resin model and not the finished product. You can see the gap. The VF-19P and Kai had the wings swept properly, why wouldn't this be the same?

Oh crap, just in time for a furlough too.

Guys, we go through this every time. Except for the shape of the leg/intake that entire section is exactly the same as the VF-19. There's no gap on the VF-19. The YF-19 in that photo is a resin prototype and doesn't hold together well. The thickness of that intake edge won't change, though once it's all sewn up it may look better. The gap in the knees is much improved over the VF-19, at least there's a sliding door there to cover it a bit. The VF-19 series doesn't have that at all. Unless you're looking at it from right below it'snot easy to notice anyway. I'm not sure there would be any way to fully cover that gap but I'm glad they've given it a shot. Between the VF and YF 19 they've specifically tried to improve the mold as much as they can (except for the ankles...)
