mister_e Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Wow! Awesome new pics. I had been trying to tell myself that I wasn't going to buy this, but I just caved. Now I'm looking for the cheapest (yet trustworthy) place to pre-order this thing from.
Sevket_Erhat Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Wow! Awesome new pics. I had been trying to tell myself that I wasn't going to buy this, but I just caved. Now I'm looking for the cheapest (yet trustworthy) place to pre-order this thing from. Yeah same here. I will buy it man. And is it true that customizable parts for YF-19 will come out in Summer 2007 ?
Aegis! Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Oh god! I´ll have to be honnest, I wasn´t expecting Yamato to come up with something this awesome and beautifully manufactured anytime soon, I had ZERO hopes of someday getting a new redesigned M+ toy but Gosh I´m happy I was so wrong. I remember the days when people praised the 1/48 blindfoldedly for its glorious design and engineering, now Yamato has proved they can excell even at 1/60 scale, blowing the 1/48 out of the water effortless. I´m wondering if they would consider realeasing the X-9 Ghost for a change, I know it does´t transform , it´s probably not very profitable but wouldn´t you like to have a fully 1/60 YF-21 vs Ghost diorama in your room ? The one thing I´m REALLY hoping for is that Yamato takes this opportunity to fully milk the VF-X2 license and release some of the obscure valks, like the VF-5000 for example
Sumdumgai Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Well hell, Aegis! Yamato is making a Ghost to put on the VF-0. I sure think that really opens the possibility for a X-9. Heck it should be somewhat affordable idealy, considering that the most gimmicks it could have are missile bay doors and things that pop off to throw out glowy orange things (I dont know what they were supposed to be, but I just remember it from when Isamu and Guld were dodging stuff). I'm up for a VF-5000, you can count me in. And a VF-4!
Garou Kuroryuu Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I'm up for a VF-5000, you can count me in. And a VF-4! Hell, yeah! Gimme a VF-4.... and a fully-FAST-packed VF-17. What about a 1/60 König Monster? That would be HUUUUGE!!! They can basically skip the sound-force variants, if you ask me.
kensei Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 No Konig Monster. My appetite is sated with the current one. I want the rest of the VFs done, including the Sound Force for completion. For the VFs that have Yamato scratching their heads for a bit, slip in some baddie mecha and some Destroids. In the Long term, I want a good Macross from them.

I know, I know... I was just pressing my luck "good Macross" being as in .... a 3ft-long Macross? With detachable main gun/carriers/ARMD's for ease of movement? ZOMFG!!!!! ... ... ... ... I'd drool to death about it ! Edited October 27, 2006 by Garou Kuroryuu
kensei Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 You guys reckon that Graham is holding back on us with its features?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) lol yeh i reckon there is more features to come still AND, i am not bought that there isn't enough room for a 2nd seat. Surely it recedes back there an has enough room? Should be able to fit a Yang in there! Edited October 27, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie
Nani?! Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) lol yeh i reckon there is more features to come still AND, i am not bought that there isn't enough room for a 2nd seat. Surely it recedes back there an has enough room? Should be able to fit a Yang in there! Why is everyone so into having yang back there?? He's a nerdy dude that'll look totally off sculpted in 1/60... I honestly like the yf-19 as a single seater because the two seater absolutely does nothing to change the overall look to it... doesn't enhance it and I'm sure a 1/60 micro-Yang wouldn't make it any sexier either... Keep it single seated, I say. I think as far as the big features goes, I think we got a look at all of them... The only things I think are maybe left are features like the slide up tail fin or double jointed elbow (features that contribute to the standard functions of the toy) but nothing like the removeable head visor or gunpod clip. Edited October 28, 2006 by Nani?!
Aegis! Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 the only thing I´d like to see the most in this toy is for the wings to swing all the way back for a high-speed configuration pose ( sorry if this has been confirmed or not already). I think this new effort from Yamato demans a full line of M+ toys, and by that I mean X-9 ghost, YF-19 , YF-21 and Renegade Power Armour ( and possibly the VF-5000 if they include the M+ game license)
eugimon Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 While I love the VF-5000... I would much rather see the Yf-21 or SV-51 next for yamato... of course, i wouldn't complain if it was the VF-5000... anything is golden as far as I'm concerned.
Graham Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 We're just about all gimmicked out now. Actually, that's not quite true, there's still 1 or 2 things, not revealed yet! Oh, and a correction from yesterday. There is actually a very small gap in battroid mode, between the curved middle part of the chest and the plane nose (uni-boob). It's not a gap that you can see through, as the inside of the curve has a straight horizontal bar across it. Graham

Graham Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Yeah he also probably has a sneak preview of the "big 2007 event"! Probably a VF-17 Nightmare!!! Ha.....I wish! Graham

Without Yang there would have not been a (or atleast as superior) YF-19 in the first place. Yeah of course i love the 1 seater best too but wouldn't it just WOULDN'T it be cool if there was teh 2nd seat. Edited October 28, 2006 by ruskiiVFaussie
Mog Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Thanks again for the pics, Graham. Don't worry about the elbow joint, it's not at all fragile. Graham This was my biggest concern in looking over the pics. I just hope the joint doesn't become floppy after a few transformations. And I agree with a lot of the other earlier posters: the kite emblems on the fuselage have GOT to be tampo-printed. Heck if Toynami can tampo-print a split kite emblem on its Fast Packs, Yamato can tampo the emblems on this bird. .....Oh and YF-21, SDF-1, or bust for Yamato's next releases.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Been a while since I checked back here for new pics. Looking good. Fighter mode doesn't look too bad from the side once you get used to it. The wings being able to sweep back would be a great thing to see. (I also want the wings to sweep forward like in the anime for the vf11 if they ever get around to this. You couldn't do it on the 1/72) Come on, let that be one of the hidden gimmicks! Oh and does that fold booster light up? Would be cool if they showed pics of it lit up. Would make a good christmas tree decoration. Edited October 28, 2006 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
Sevket_Erhat Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) I don't know if it was discussed before but three weapons hidden in the right arm might be included too. I noticed this while I was looking at my avatar. Just check the picture I captured from Macross Plus The Movie below. [attachmentid=37508] Edited October 28, 2006 by Sevket_Erhat

Dante74 Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) What scene was that pic taken from? I don't remember it. Edited October 28, 2006 by Dante74
aaajin Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) Here are the pictures so that everyone wont have to go back to page ...? to view them. Also, sorry for the big pictures.. and let me guess...will the extra features be fixed pose hands? Edited October 28, 2006 by aaajin
Sevket_Erhat Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 What scene was that pic taken from? I don't remember it. Around 22.20st minute of Macross Plus The Movie
isamu_dyson Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) It's in the OAV too ... when they are testing armament, isamu blow a monster away. Edited October 28, 2006 by isamu_dyson

eugimon Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 hmm, I wonder if the rifle will holster behind the shield ?
wolfx Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 hmm, I wonder if the rifle will holster behind the shield ? If anything it'll be the ammo clip, not the whole rifle stored behind the shield.
Chewie Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 (edited) On the very last picture on the bottom right. What is it showing is possible with the tail fins? I don't understand what I am seeing. Also, is all that stuff we see on it detail wise tampo printing or some sort of decal? Edited October 28, 2006 by Chewie
UN Spacy Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Looks like all decals again. The only tampo printing I see is the 19 insignia on the shoulder. Hopefully they'll tampo the intake too.

Also, is all that stuff we see on it detail wise tampo printing or some sort of decal? Looks like it's necessary to move the tailfins a little bit forward to transform this beauty to gerwalk/battroid, IMO. Manu
aaajin Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 I guess the tailfins have to be moved "upwards" if you want the toy to be able to stand properly. Else the fins are going to touch the ground. aaajin Looks like it's necessary to move the tailfins a little bit forward to transform this beauty to gerwalk/battroid, IMO. Manu
isamu_dyson Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 (edited) for the tail fins, graham explained it already The tail fins slide up, to prevent them touching the ground in Gerwalk & Battroid modes. Graham Edited October 29, 2006 by isamu_dyson
vlenhoff Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 OMG, this is even better than I expected! I blink for a couple of days, and wam new pics! Wow, I can't even believe this This is all I wanted other than the VF-1 back in 1994! This was a dream to me, and now it is just a month away! Thanks G for the info and pics, you're the best! Soooooo beautiful!!! I'm detailingthis baby! Now, if they could make the 11B(my other favorite) with accurately proportional Fast packs....
