I hope the pics start coming fast and furious now. Now that we've seen an official shot from Yamato is there anything else you can let us in on about them Graham?

It also didn't appear like that in the animation either.

Just like it appears in the CAD image, this thing is going to have MONSTER shoulders.

Just to add, Yamato's website says this thing us due out in November.

I'd be really surprised if that gun fit in it's leg now.

Where'd you find this pic? I guess from those slits we know where the super packs are going to attach.

I guess the Antenna will not splay?

Side-by-side you are right, it does look longer. I guess we'll find out how that winds up working out. Unless Graham wants/can chime in on this.

Really? I'm not seeing that the nose looks much longer at all. I do think the fighter mode here looks magnificent. I think the Battroid is not represented well at all though.

I'm one of those boring people who hardly transforms them. Maybe every six months or so. Mostly I tend to keep each Toy in their own configuration and only play with different poses/angles/etc... I do usually keep one around I mess with more than the others. Max being my favorite I tend to keep in one pose or another so there is less chance to breakage, but maybe the CF I'll fidget with a lot more because there's less loss if that breaks. I also have a weird tendency to keep one of each type of valk in one of the three configurations. So I've got a clean VF-1 in Fighter, one in Battroid, one in Gerwalk. Then another set with Fast Packs in Fighter, one in Battroid, on in Gerwalk. Everything is usually balanced like that, so if I want to play with a fighter, I pick up the one in fighter mode. Gerwalk, grab one in Gerwalk. It's odd and I have no honest reason why I do it but it works for me. Back when I only had my VF-1 DYRL Hikky (first edition) I used to transform it more but now I have the option to not do that and I figure it saves me many broken shoulders/tabs/etc that way. The 19S/F/P will be easy for me (not my Wallet!) because I can pull the same sort of triple configuration scheme there though I do really like the longer wings in both Fighter and Gerwalk.

We've already seen the actual mold, other than a few cosmetic changes, on the VF-19Kai. I think this colored CAD looks horrendous.

Compared to the old wireframe CAD I think this colored one in Battroid looks horrible. The VF-19S next to it on Yamato's blog also looks horrible and we've already pretty much seen how good the actual sculpt is on the VF-19 Kai. Why bother releasing these images, they don't do the VF-19 any favors so I'm assuming (hoping) the 17 also isn't represented well here.

If it's around late October/early November then HAPPY FREAKIN' BIRTHDAY TO ME. V.2 VF-25 and VF-19S at the same time!

I'd take what's left of a box.

I like the fact you made the wings of a 21 fold upwards in Battroid mode instead of down.

The 19 is in fighter collection 1, not 2, isn't it? It looks like I might be thinking of the wrong fighter collection.

Has anybody tried attaching them in Gerwalk?

While it's an unfortunate reality we have to be much more careful with our money that doesn't necessarily discount what Eugimon has said either. I think the other improvements to a YF-19 would be a HUGE deal. It's pretty much my least favorite of the valks I own because it's so unstable/floppy in Gerwalk/Battroid.

Nice! That's one day faster then I've been able to get it from Japan to Albuquerque.

Nah, Max is just leading a Volcada.

Thanks for the pic. Unfortunately due to the angle it makes me wonder why he even bothered with the packs.

Any idea which one? I'd like to see it.

Interesting. Obviously Yamato had to come up with something since Kawamori asked for it after the fact. I was hoping there would be a way to use these to rig up some extra fast packs from one of my VF-11C's like some of the pics in the Master File but it looks like the attachments are a little too far back. Oh well.

That's interesting. I'd like to see this mechanic.

So does the sound booster attach in a different fashion between Fighter and Battroid or is my reading comprehension getting worse and worse? Also, how does it attach (if you're allowed to say.)
