Graham Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 The cat is out of the bag (finally). The first CAD lineart scans of the upcoming Yamato 1/60 scale YF-21 are being shown in the new September issues of both Hobby Japan and Dengeki Hobby magazine. The same fighter mode plan view is shown in both magazines. Attached is a scan of the Hobby Japan article. Release is due for first quarter 2008. The CAD art actually tells very little. Trust me on this when I say it looks great. Graham
eugimon Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Can I be officially recognized now for my startling prescient abilities? oh. and. WOOHOO!
UN Spacy Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Thank you VERY much for the GREAT news Graham! Bravo Yamato. Bravo. IBBOB.
buffalobob77 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Whoa! My wallet actually just jumped out of my pocket and slapped me in the face. Oh well still won't stop me from picking this up.
Dante74 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Trust me on this when I say it looks great. Graham Meaning you've allready seen a prototype right. Bastid!!!1 Can I be officially recognized now for my startling prescient abilities? You, my friend, deserve a custom title. Where do I sign up for my pre order?
isamu_dyson Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!! Finally the 'll make it now all my wishes goes to a 1/60 VF-11B
Bub Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 ... yet another cycle begins.... fanboys excited about the news, until the release of the toy, fanboys disappointed with quality. I used to be in these cycles. I'm just fed up with Yamato's quality control issues... it's just too early for me to celebrate.
eugimon Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) not too early for you to start the "cycle" though. Edited July 24, 2007 by eugimon
RDClip Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Sweet news. Gotta start my YF-21 fund now. (Dang i'm gonna have to get a 1/60 YF-19 then to complete the pair) Oh well. Anyone wanna buy an old beat up 1/72 YF-21 in a next year for a very overpriced amount?
David Hingtgen Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hey wait--is the Sv-51 even out yet?!?! There has to be some sort of "wallet recovery time" between releases...
eugimon Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Hey wait--is the Sv-51 even out yet?!?! There has to be some sort of "wallet recovery time" between releases... sv-51 should be out soon, and the yf-21 isn't coming out till 2008. so that's plenty of recovery time. unless you're planning on getting the nora type as well.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 omgomg omg omg i haven't even looked at the info yet just the title. WOO HOO!!!! Thankyou Graham man! 3 Cheers for Graham! *raises glass 3 times*. mateeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) 33 cms oooooooooooooooooooooooo *starts multiple YF-21 purchases fund* Make it perfect Yamato! I'll buy 5!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAD tells little? lol hows the side on view look G-Man? nice and sleek??? I don't care, you haters hear me now! YF-21 is coming!!!!!! Bring on the bulge! Edited July 24, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Macross73 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 glad to hear the news . Now that its confirmed will it come with a bunch of accessories or am i going to have to buy 2 or 3 different versions? and there better not be any QC issues .
Sorata Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I wonder if they will make a fast pack set for it too with a cockpit attachement or replacement pieces to convert it to a VF-22.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) I wonder if they will make a fast pack set for it too with a cockpit attachement or replacement pieces to convert it to a VF-22. Yeah VF-22 conversion pieces would be sweet but doubt it, a VF-22 would get it's own separate release, would be nice tho. FP's should be released with it from the get go. With '2' Gunpods! Fold armor Pack could include '1' Fold (with connector housings) and Defence Sattelite debris for supriseisamudisplay. Prefer them to release a Fold + YF-21 pack around the same time. Get one of those combo packs and just buy multitudes of the standalone YF-21 release (with FPs). Edited July 24, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Fort Max Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Ah finally, now I can stop waiting and get a YF-19 & FP's set asap. Thanks for the news Graham.
recon Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Can I be officially recognized now for my startling prescient abilities? oh. and. WOOHOO! All hail eugimon the prophet!! Could you at the same time do more probbing into graham's mind? Tks for the great news graham, as again will wait for the 2nd version before getting it. Think the Gman, did not only see the YF-21, he may have also saw the VF-11*..cough cough Edited July 24, 2007 by recon
David Hingtgen Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 sv-51 should be out soon, and the yf-21 isn't coming out till 2008. so that's plenty of recovery time. unless you're planning on getting the nora type as well. Due to my Fei-Yen collection, I believe I have more pink mecha than any other color. I actually plan to skip Ivanov and only buy Nora's. PS--excluding Transformers, they don't count.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) Your assuming FP's as a separate release, i hope your wrong. David- I actually plan to skip Ivanov and only buy Nora's. But what if it's QC problem free? I'm torn between getting Ivanov's and waiting for Nora's, as they both go off in the OVA. Edited July 24, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
dodgethis Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Woohoo! Now I can do the YF-19 x YF-21 combo attack pose! *does Hardo-Gay signature hip thrusts*
Auto Pilot Off Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 yeahhh... finally.. come on guys its just the line art lets talk about qc issue when this baby is on our hands... hahaha.. Yeah YF-21...
Fort Max Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Every month will be a long painful wait for the next set of pictures...
Fort Max Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 The FP's for this design aren't that big so I see them being included unless Yamato have something suitably impressive to bundle with the FP's in order to justify a seperate sale. My wish would be for a ghost fighter, it's non gimmicky but would be cool as hell to have.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) The X-9 Ghost packed with the YF-21? Interesting, But i'd rather have te X-9 by itself, or packed with the heavy arms platform the YF-19 uses... but meh. The Ghost X-9 is more of a YF-21 thing. Just how big is the Ghost X-9 compared to the MZero's Ghost Drone? Isn't it larger? Even the non-canon MZero Ghost Drone got it's own box, and i am sure the X-9 is larger than that. What about the YF-21's Fold, i can't see anything else being released with the 21's Fold. I spose they could always do the Heavy Arms Platform up so it can fit the YF-19 AND the YF-21! That would kick ass. And why not, why would the 19 only get to play with the Heavy Arms. Edited July 24, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Fort Max Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I've seen M+ a number of times and I don't remeber the YF-21 having a fold booster, did I just miss it?
eugimon Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I've seen M+ a number of times and I don't remeber the YF-21 having a fold booster, did I just miss it? it isn't shown on screen, but since guld follows isamu to earth, and since the yf-21 doesn't have an on-board fold booster, we can assume it can also accept the fold booster. I'm hoping yamato follows its own lead on the SV-51 and just releases the yf-21 with FP and fold booster.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) How else did Guld Take off after Isamu and arrive before him with shredded defence sattelite remains ready to pounce? Who's got a pic of the VF-22 with the Fold from M7? Edited July 24, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie
Valkyrie addict Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Woa!! nice!! I hope they really do a good job at it... here's a pic of the VF-22 with fold booster
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Cheers mate! Yeah, i can't wait to have that baby in my display.
Grand Admiral Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 We all knew it was coming, but w00t nonetheless.
