Wrong. The "bubble" canopy isn't a creative license. It's not like an act of faith, things aren't what you believe they should be. Shoji Kawamori -who as the actual designer of the VF-1s is more important than you and me- revised his SDF-M designs for the DYRL? film and guess what, he came up with the "bubble" canopy among other things. I don't think it's safe to say these snapshots are just "current renditions":

The more I look at it the more I like it!

Not too far away from the pics we all want to see. Mr-K is takink good care of everything.

Mmmm, I don't understand. It's $153.98 at HLJ vs $141.69 at NY, obviously not including shipping. Did I miss anything? http://www.hlj.com/product/aca82018 http://www.nippon-yasan.com/lang-en/macross/5554-1-60-vf-1s-roy-focker-special-movie-ver.html

It looks like there will be a painted prototype. 塗装している方から入電!! 「YF-19」の塗装が未だ途中です!! 納品は現地で!! …大丈夫か?　俺!?

Sorry, wrong thread, I was talking about the Bodolza stuff

Sorry, wrong thread.

Good job, it looks great!

The maybe part. Only 20 of these produced? ボドルザー艦バッチ！！！ 軽くホラーですね！ですが弊社メカ担当「みすたーＫ」は嬉々として帽子につけております・・・ さぁさぁこのボドルザー、お値段は「\12,800（税込）」!そして販売数は20個となります！ 少なくて申し訳ございません・・・・°・(ノД｀)・°・ 欲しいというお客様はお早めに弊社ブースにお伺い頂ければと思います！

Preordered.

Guys, we need more Macross fans, it's time to come out of the closet and proselytize!

A Ghost X-9 toy wouldn't be a so basic if it included the ventral high-maneuverability missile launcher, super parts and the orbital booster. I guess it could end up being fairly expensive.

Exactly. Sometimes people are hard to please...

Great job, thanks for sharing it!

Wait, are we still talking about the YF-19? On the other hand, it's not exactly the materials what makes the difference.

Yeah, the fact you're not sure how they can make it doesn't mean they can't or that it's a big mistake. I'm pretty sure they offer the gimmick because they can make it so let's hope for the best.

No matter how bad one may think the 1/60 YF-19 and YF-21 are, the 1/72 ones are much worse IMO

Yep, it's entirely up to you

I believe you don't have a Yamato VF-19, have you?

I like it the way it is, including the gap. Also, I can't seen the neck cover getting housed into the fuselage. Actually, I think it's pretty much the same than the VF-19's ones.

... which also could mean that the gerwalk mode has been improved compared to the VF-19's...

I agree, it does look like two different pieces. IMO the rudder may need to fold a little to have some room in gerwalk mode.

Exactly.

1. You're bloody right! Just another simple but amazing improvement! 2. You can see the thigh fillers in the CAD drawings, don't worry about that. 3. Fortunately the gap doesn't look too bad nor too big. 4. I hope they will. Considering how the bay doors are hinged and that the FP could be attached to them I can't see why not. 5. No need for it, the shield doesn't change its shape between modes. 6. Interesting. 7. Unfortunately, no doubt about this. 8. I used to think it wasn't necessary but now... I love what I see so far. It looks like Arcadia's listened to their fans. I love the fact Mr-K is a real Macross fan. Stop buying Bandai kits you`ll end up throwing to the dustbin anyway and start saving for this one. You must have it!

It looks so nicely done I don't care about the price or what it might be lacking. I never bought the v.1 because I was waiting for this one so I've already saved enough. Indeed. Yet another improvement!
