Did the angel birds appear in DYRL??

If they didn't, why does it have the chickenhands?

I don't recall seeing any in DYRL, but it still has the chicken hands for perfect transformation. As far as I can tell, all the 1/48s come with chicken hands for this specific reason. But hopefully Yamato will include the TV fat hands with these as well.

No it showed up in the TV series which means TV hands, I hope. I'd say this is a surprise and I think this is the most ugliest color scheme but I'll still get these for sure.

1D, Elint, Ostrich, 21, 11B, hmmmmmm Here we go!

Well if they are releasing the 19, Angel Birds, Kakizaki DYRL, and 3 non canon valkyries(LV1,LV2,Stealth), it should not be hard to believe one or all of the above could make it to production.

Wow, and to think I gave up believing I would get a bad@$$ 19, 21, or 11B.

I keep buying them, so they keep producing cool stuff.

Graham you're such a lucky dawg.

You're fully sick! Thanks mate!

is it me, or are the box designs getting somewhat better?

If they'd used Blue ANGELs blue and ThunderBIRDS red, it'd probably look awesome. Or just use all Thunderbirds colors---it looks like the original design did more of a 90/10 Thunderbirds/Blue Angels split than a mix of each. Here we could get into a debate about "intended" vs "on-screen" or whatever colors. Since it's so clearly (both visually and name-wise) imitating the US demonstration squadrons, my opinion is that it was always intended to be the deep red and blue used by those squadrons---not the lighter colors we actually get.

Kind of like I think Roy's valks should flat-out have Insignia yellow for their accents, as that is the shade of yellow the Jolly Rogers have used for some 50 years on their planes--and Yamato's is too pale. Match what the scheme itself is trying to copy, not old animation cels...

Ok, here's a quick recolor I did approximating Thunderbirds red and Blue Angel blue. I think it'd be even better with Thunderbirds/Insignia blue---the very dark blue you find on an actual fabric US flag.

i don't know about you guys but this thing is looking awful in battroid mode.  this will have to be a strictly fighter mode display piece for me.  :D
