recon

Think i will skip this due to its size and price..and maybe cos yamato would do a bigger/better detailed version for e.g. 1/2500 ..not forgetting more EX! Maybe the Gman knows abt this already..haha Cheers

think it should be around the height when displayed in battroid (erm did i get that wrong) along side that of the 1/48 VF-1 (w/o Fps), 1/60 Vf0 and 1/60 YF19.

or it could be on a heated surface for e.g. CPU, TV Monitor, Hifi etc Cheers

Now the question due to the statement that its a model, so do we have to paint it or does it come prepainted. If its prepainted, taking into consideration that it's of diecast and abs construction, then i would say the price is just about right for me. Cheers

And Ex too! Izzyfcuk, never show pics of your customed cabinet filled with 1/55s, 1/48s and carebears etc. Cheers

my guess is that the yf21 and vf11b are probably in the works, and so does many variants that we dunnoe of, but only graham holds the key to the them all.

Big? remember somewhere it was mentioned that in fighter mode, the YF19 is slightly longer than that of the VF0S but in battroid mode its shorter Btw Graham, hows the paint work and joints holding up? Is it a fully painted post production piece, hows the tone of the beige base and red stripes...would prefer it to be a light beige with deep red stripes. Guess i wun be able to get an answer from the faz man himself cos his lips are sealed

what review? dun see any in the toy review section? could someone kindly post a link to the yf19 review?

Tks for the info jenius, guess i would wait it out for the 2nd ver VF0S, which maybe cheaper.. Tks to wolfx for the insight, guess i would have to live with it if there is really a loose joint on the shoulders, wouldnt want to risk having a stress mark on it seams. Havent open mine up as i just managed to sneak it back while she was having dinner with her friends

Tks for the insight Graham, dun really mind if there is a delay for the YF19 release even if it next year, as long as any problems in the fittings/joints/parts are ironed out before they really go into mass producing this piece.

Strange cos noone brought the 2nd ver in locally. Ahh..oh well, guess will have to bug my retailer to bring some in when the ghost boosters are released ;(

Millia in her flight suit!

just to bump this thread, recalled that the 1/60 YF19 would be out sometime in november or december. Is there any pics of a mass production piece as of yet? tks

Could anyone who has did mods to the shoulder ball joints, please post a pic indicating which part to cut...dun wish to cut up the wrong area? tks Just got my vf0a yesterday, really love this colors/tones as compared to vf0s, felt that the vf0s should be of greyish white base instead of beige. Hopefully we get to see a shin variant with ghost boosters as well as a 2 seater vf0a/0s seen in one of the 1/72 hasegawa models (red/white/black scheme), not forgetting a vf0d Graham what are the odds of yamato reissuing a 2nd version for the vf0s with all the fixes? Tks Cheers

i would love to have a new 1/60 VF-1 which incorporates all the features/improvements of that of the 1/60 Vf0 and 1/48 Vf1 given the mark improvements seen in the VF0 and YF19 using cad Seriously graham, would yamato consider doing a few of the popular variants for the 1/60 Vf1 line. Monsters and Destroids would fit nicely as well

haha okie david, tot you were refering to the hairdryer method. always love low vis colors Anyways i wouldnt mind paying abit for tampo printing all the details/warnings/symbols, but leave the pane lining to us. Aside from the plasticky look abt it, it a cool valkyrie to have especially when you dressed it up...hopefully i wun have to spend 15 hrs in doing do. Erick, Devin where are you guys? We need some decals and stickers for this babe Cheers

I think heating the stickers wouldnt be a good idea as there is no telling what the heat might do to the plastic in the long run. Maybe an alternative solution is to try decal solutions like Microscale Micro Sol or Micro Set, not sure how well these work on regular thick film stickers. think i would rather wait for devin or erick to churn out some awesome alternatives. Cheers

Tks for the pics hayao. Are those decals/stickers from the sticker sheet that yamato supplied or custom ones from takatoy or anasazi37? 15 hours thats really pure dedication and devotion, but its worth it once the plane is done up. Cheers

I would have to disagree with you graham, be it G1 TF, gundams, chogokins or macross, they are unique and beautiful in their own way. But my personal favs are macross and G1 TF cos they can exist in multiple forms vehicular or robot, even though yamato does have the edge in terms design and looks. speaking of which any news of the VF-0A being released locally? Cant wait to get this and maybe a 2nd ver VF-0S when it gets released again Cheers

Defintely will get the VF-0A with the ghost boosters, now the question is that wether yamato would do two versions of it, i would have prefer them to issue the ghost boosters as an optional set. Well only the Gman knows. Cheers

Tks for the info graham, the YF-19 looks everybit as gorgeous as it could be. Pass the msg to yamato on a job well done, do hope they take note of the swing bar and tab problem in its predecessor by reinforcing it. Btw graham, any hints of any alternate schemes for the YF-19, would be hoping along the lines of Super Nova schemes if you could so kindly suggest it to yamato.

Remembered that there was the mention of ghost boosters being done for the 1/60 VF-0, was there any prototype pics being shown in wodnerfestival or charachobby? Tks

Thats a scary thought in rgds to the pricing, hopefully it would be priced around that of the VF-0S/A, if fps/fold boosters are included, pricewise should be around that of 1/48 VF-1 super. Everything looks great, hopefully yamato does learn from its previous lessons in rgds to the 1/72 ver, and reinforce certain parts like the swing bar and tabs. Cheers

The sculpt/design is indeed very impressive for the fighter, gerwalk and battroid mode. Very proportional in terms of shoulders, wing span, legs and head and arms. My only discomfort is the gap btw the hips, which is okie as its needed to accomodate the nose area. Hopefully the swing bar will be of diecast metal instead of ABS plastic. Nose/head optics are of clear plastics as predicted. This looks like it will be the Macross Toy of the Year Just a thought, since yamato has been able to release some info to saverobotech abt the 1/60 YF-19 and VF-0 accessories. Maybe graham could explain to us more abt the YF-19 and VF-0 accessories? Tks to robotech for the excellent scoup..! Cheers

I just hated the wings clipping against each other. As they can't be dispalyed till the VF-1S Max comes out ;) or rather I just don't have a shelf. These will do alright, they are not that congested. My VF-1 collection is coming to an end! Yay! NO more to buy soon! 426155[/snapback] haha dun be too sure kensei, there maybe more to come as the Gman himself said. Really i must admire you and that of godzilla amazing huge number of valks...you both combine could really rule the world with the huge airforce in your hands.
