Clearly you mistake me for someone else.
I just continue to wonder if it's possible for Yamato to do anything right in the eyes of the fanboy. I wonder how many Japanese fans are complaining about Yamato's move away from diecast. Obviously, the Japanese are favorable since in Yamato's eyes, that's the only market they care about, and rightfully so.
Personally? I think the move is an excellent decision. Why? 1) Price. 2) Balance. 3) Detail. Some people can't afford fifteen 1/48s of the same type... Some people can't even afford the 1/60s! So I think this move is great because it brings it down to an affordable level. And as Graham mentioned, there's better balance and detail. Don't look at the YF-19 and tell me it's a detail and balance marvel. Or even worse, the YF-21.
So it's plastic. It's more VF-0 toy than we've gotten so far, and that's good enough for me.
