This is really quite insane. I think since I've been around this is the worst QC issue I've seen on a macross product. Even worse than the VF-1 v.2 shoulder issues.
-
That's probably the easiest way to do it.
-
With all the extra accessories they're talking about, expect VF-4 level price.
-
I'm just hoping they don't wind up with some sort of weird hinge compromise in the wing root in order to pull off High Speed mode. The last thing we need is something getting gouged/cracked/etc...
-
Is it a wonderfest limited item maybe?
-
Interesting they're looking at fixed pieces like this, especially the Zentradi versions. The DYRL version is definitely more interesting looking than the SDFM version so I can see why they chose it. I wonder if they have plans for other fixed posed capitol ships on both sides? This is probably to test the waters. I still have my Exo Squad Regult and Glaug this thing would look good sitting next to.
-
It's a good photo. Maybe use a tad bit of processing to make the panels appear a little more reflective. Unfortunately there's no way to cover up that giant hinge Yamato put on the neck.
-
With that array of weapons, if there's a way to attach a fold booster (or two... getting speculatively greedy now) we really could deck this thing out like in some of the Master File photos.

As an add-on for Battroid that looks cool but I cannot see how they could ever make it work in fighter on a transforming toy. There's no room back there to fit it. The more I look at the lineart for the 19's Gerwalk the more I'm convinced the best way too keep it from being both front heavy and looking more like the lineart would be to actually have the intakes slide forward towards the cockpit. Obviously it's a drawing so perspective is skewed but the neck looks slightly shortened between the two modes. If it slid back a little that would move the center of gravity to almost the middle of the plane. I always thought, especially of the new VF-19 toys, that it seems like the neck is just too long. Actually implementing that... that's another story. Probably harder than my comment on the forearm cannons would be.
-
Fighter and Gerwalk look awesome... Battroid does not.
-
Sounds to me like he's only pretending he doesn't want it to be there. He sure seems to keep on finding it!
-
I think the white on blue is more attractive than the Yellow, but to be fair the blue on the VF-19's are not bright at all. It's a pretty deep blue actually.
-
It's funny how not too long ago people were speculating this was the end of the Golden Age of Macross toys... between the V3 YF-19 and sudden appearance of Bandai alternate schemes for the VF-25 and Isamu 29 it appears we may be getting a new round instead. Problem is we have all of these alt scheme visions in our eyes. Mr. K already said it's better to have a base color and let people modify as they like. I'm not sure if that means only one or two color schemes or that they're going to leave tampo off and let people paint or add decals for extra bits.
-
I'm in for Isamu and an Ozma if they make one (which seems more and more likely.)
-
Regardless if the fighter is a downgrade, that scheme looks pretty damn bad-ass and would make a sick counter point to the Low Viz 1S Yamato already made.
-
yeah, but considering those pics are at least eight months old it would be nice to see some updated info on the 30, if it still exists.
-
Well the CAD doesn't show hard points yet. I wonder if they've come up with some new way to attach the missiles or if the CAD hasn't been updated with that yet? Yeah, $300+.
-
I just realized that they're advertising it specifically from Macross 30. Maybe there's still a chance for a YF-30 too?
-
Hmm, this is kind of a bummer. I skipped the other YF-29's because I wasn't super fond of the color schemes. Now, this one comes along and it looks great but... it's the same as the YF-19. I don't know if I want two VF's with exactly the same scheme.
-
While I like the scheme, no web exclusive YF-30 while we're at it?
-
You considered that torture scene "homoerotic?"
-
Hmm, I hope it's just bad encoding for the video because I do not like the production on that.
-
What do you consider reasonable?
-
If they had taken the Hi-Metal, blown it up, and fixed some of the proportions for fighter/gerwalk it would have been the definitive VF-1 for me. As it stands the Hi-Metal Battroid mode is my favorite of any VF-1 I've ever owned.
-
Wow, how did they get Mendes back? He was pretty adamant about not doing another. I can't wait to see what they come up with.
