If you're planning to do piece swapping between the VF/YF-19s. The swap I linked was only the heel section and is apparently held in place by a 2mm pin so you'd need a punch tool.
-
A nice balance of the two would be the Arcadia heel but doing what’s different seems to be what got Bandai here in the first place so I guess that wasn’t going to happen. As it is, VF-19 heel for fighter and YF-19 for battroid/gerwalk but neither are particularly offensive to me now either way. I’ll still wait til I have it in-hand to really consider.
-
Whoops forgot to credit. Don’t have it now but it’s from a Japanese 2-chan poster I linked earlier.
-
A direct comparison of the VF/YF-19 heels in battroid. This guy is doing at least a 3-part in-depth review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqPGXDutSNY
-
Well this has privately been my plan for some time in the case I couldn't cope with the heels but it seems like it's an easy job to swap either the heel or the entire foot of the VF-19 over to the YF-19.
-
I think maybe I’ve only seen it attached to the arm cannon sideways in two instructional videos with no clear shot but it does sit much closer to the bird giving a lot of ground clearance. I couldn’t help but feel it looks weird being off-center.
-
Hmm... idk. It seems like the grip could fit in there pretty nicely if you rotated the gunpod tab. Whether the butt of the stock would clear the larger cannon idk.
-
It looks like it would work and it would be a lot going on with that arm but yeah another cool thing to pull off. If there is enough room to allow for the base of the gunpod grip you could even rotate it there to change the side it rests against and maybe still use the missiles or just allow for a more aesthetic position.
-
This shot seems to show the gunpod mounted vertically on the arm cannon in fighter mode and due to the angle it's dragging the ground so it's probably a good thing the gunpod has it's bendy gimmick to use here.
-
Actually, I wonder if you could deploy the arm cannon gunpod pin in battroid mode to hold the gunpod then. That would mean the lower missiles couldn't deploy but would still be very cool.
-
Well when I found out that Bandai designed the shield without that feature I dismissed the idea of stowing the gun in battroid mode so I'm glad it's still possible; not nearly as elegant but still functional.
-
It's obvious in hindsight but it just didn't occur to me until I saw it... or it would be dead obvious if it was sitting in front of me I guess.
-
Maybe this is obvious to someone who's owned the VF-19 but I didn't think that you could store the gun on the arm in Battroid mode like this as shown in the vid F360 posted.
-
Good find! This is exactly what we were talking about. I love how they did it so that it retracts it into the body in the process of centering it vertically but still brings it very close to the ground. It looks like it clears by maybe 2mm and might be better 'bent-dick' in this case depending on preference.
-
I seem to have almost hijacked this forum with my posts so someone let me know if I’m being spammy. I’m just excited after so long a wait (20 yrs and 3 since I first saw the VF-19 Advance). I’ve got another week until Premiumselect ships to Japan family then EMS stateside.
-
They don’t cover vertically mounting the gun there, only the horizontal mode covered in the instructions. Neither in the manual in the box or anywhere else has vertical mount been covered but there have been posts of it mounted that way in fighter mode that indicate that the tab that folds out on the other exposed piece of the arm cannon in fighter mode tabs in somehow. I’m not sure why it wasn’t in the written instructions or Bandai instructional video.
-
Most advanced ULTIMATE YF-19!
-
How did you remove the tampo btw...or is it as easy as a 2-second google search?
-
Yeah so far he's got the best review by far.
-
It's starting to land in many of the Asia destinations so I guess next thing would be to wait for English-speaking reviews. Here are some more reviews. https://ameblo.jp/un1c0rn-rx-8/entry-12406895484.html Youtube YF-19 vids: https://livetube.sumry.xyz/?et=recording&od=date&q=yf-19&ct= The reviewer from the previous 2chan thread continues to update his posting btw. The stand was loose for him and since the VF-19 and YF-19 have the same super stiff leg joints, silicone spray was recommended there to help prevent breakage.
-
You’re correct. I forgot. When I saw the gap on the upper wing tabs it just hit me that it seemed silly not to make cutouts for the wings in the fast packs. According to Anymoon (with the VF-19) you’ll likely have to untab the wings anyway so I guess I’d rather have them tabbed and eliminate the gap. It’s neat to deploy missiles like the movie but I don’t think I’ll be displaying fighter mode with leg fast packs showing that gap.
-
It may seem like blasphemy but I haven’t heard whether it seemed possible to cut space out of the leg fast packs for the wing tabs and that fix the gap and secure the wings too. It couldn’t be that easy or they would’ve made them that way right?
-
Another review with Arcadia comparisons. https://ameblo.jp/kanagawakenmin0217/entry-12406745374.html
-
I never saw it there. Is it in Akihabara? I must’ve missed it though I did see the VF-19 on display somewhere in 2015, I just don’t remember the shop.
-
Yeah. I think Bandai knows. In the anime they drew the feet to suit the form it was in so chunky battroid/gerwalk and smaller/slimmer for fighter mode. In this case it looks like they adapted the styling of the former two and neglected the profile in fighter mode. A lot of the marketing material highlights how well battroid mode looks with the new arm cannon and feet. Seemed to be the focus this time around.
