Busted VF1A Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) The sample is made of....get this......Unobtainium. Yep. Name that awful reference. what the ship is made of in the movie "The Core" and yes it was a waste of 2 hours of life Edited November 21, 2007 by Busted VF1A
hevangel2 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Saw it yesterday in fighter mode, my jaw is still on the floor. Not sure what stage it's at, but it wasn't made of plastic. In the old 1/72 YF-21, the shoulders looks quite odd sticking out in fighter mode. How well the 1/60 YF-21 hide the shoulders in fighter mode?
eugimon Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 In the old 1/72 YF-21, the shoulders looks quite odd sticking out in fighter mode. How well the 1/60 YF-21 hide the shoulders in fighter mode? it looks like they hide pretty damn well in the commercial, but I'm interested in an eyewitness account as well.
gian7675 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) Saw this image from our local boards here. The poster saw it from toyskingdom.com.hk I hope I'm not double posting it. It shows the: 1/60 YF-21 a picture of the VF-25...the valk in Macross frontier? it oooks like a hybrid of the VF-0 and the SV-51...I like! So can somebody tell graham to post pics of is YF-19 now? Edited November 22, 2007 by gian7675
Ghostkiller Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 this vf-25 is so good looking I like it too
Ghostkiller Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I never been a fan of gerwalk mode of the 21 il looks just way too wrong IMO something wrg with the legs I guess but the plane shape is just outstanding
Twoducks Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Now that is a thin bird! Graham, can Yamato let you post hi-res pics of these three photos since they have now been officially released into the public?

Graham, can Yamato let you post hi-res pics of these three photos since they have now been officially released into the public? Yeah! All of us e-mail him the photos that's the YF-19 is revealed to the public so that he can now post his prototype 21 ! Just noticed that the wings fold too to mimic the gliding scene of the YF-19 and the YF-21 together. Edited November 22, 2007 by gian7675
gian7675 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) I guess this deserves a thread of it's own like the YF-21 Commercial It seems the YF-21 will come with a dislplay stand too? The wings will bend similar to the SC-51 to mimic the scene with the YF-19 gliding together Regarding the Macross frontier VF-25...I like it very much It looks like a crossbreed between the VF-0 and the SV-51. And the VF-25 will have Fokker's yellow and Hikaru's red stripes! Edit: Pic is from toyskingdom.com.hk...Graham probably has a copy also right now of the mag! LOL! Graham, psssttt...more detailed pics will be appreciated. Edited November 22, 2007 by gian7675
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 We need a bigger detailed scan!! Thank you very much though YF-21 is looking awesome!!!!
eugimon Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) nice find, thanks for the pics! Fighter mode is looking super sweet. graham, we've seen the TV spot and a magazine scan. can you give us the goods yet? Edited November 22, 2007 by eugimon
Hayabusa Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) I'm reading those TINY little characters, but it does say about the fast pack attacment, fold booster attachment and display stand. Problem is I can't read the tiny kanji next to it if it says included or optional. Edited November 22, 2007 by Hayabusa

Problem is I can't read the tiny kanji next to it if it says included or optional. Wow! What patience! And sharp eyes! It mentions about the fast packs and display stand but no solid details if they're included or not? The magazine got cut off? Maybe they're included like the Yf-19...at first not included and then included in a latter release!
Hayabusa Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I hope I read this right, price is 22800YEN, release date April.
gian7675 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 I hope I read this right, price is 22800YEN, release date April. Nice! ime to save! And then of course the traditional delays of yamato on a new product...so the release will be...May or June of 2008?
isamu_dyson Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 22800 yen .. it was the price for the YF-19 + booster & fast pack set ... so maybe fast pack + display stand will be included in the first release
David Hingtgen Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Nitpicky comment: Bending wingtips and tailfins on a YF-21 aren't really a "feature" nor optional---it's part of the transformation. A YF-21 toy HAS to be able to do "high-speed mode" to be able to transform.
Hayabusa Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 isamu_dyson Posted Today, 02:44 PM 22800 yen .. it was the price for the YF-19 + booster & fast pack set ... so maybe fast pack + display stand will be included in the first release Makes sense! The article does say the YF-21 will come with a lot of 'volume' so I believe it will come with the fast pack, stand, and the attachment for the booster. God I can't wait! Mecha Hawaii prepare I'm gonna get it !!!
VFTF1 Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 The Macross F valk looks fabulous! As much as I enjoyed M7, this is a step in the right direction... VFTF1
Fort Max Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 The new Valk looks fantastic, very modern, I look forward to seeing it in plastic from whoever.

Mr March Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Must have those VF-25 pictures in high res Oh yeah, the new YF-21 looks great too. What was the name of this thread again?
Graham Posted November 23, 2007 Author Posted November 23, 2007 They are not new pics of the VF-25 . They are the same as published in last month's New Type magazine and have been in the main Macross Frontier for quite a while already. Although these Hobby Japan pics should be a bit bigger. Disappointing, I was hoping for (a) some proper VF-25 lineart, not the same old CG pics and (b) some new of Macross Frontier toys. Graham
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Must have those VF-25 pictures in high res Oh yeah, the new YF-21 looks great too. What was the name of this thread again? Here you go, Mr March. To me the 25 looks like a summary of every "hero" Valk ever designed by Kawamory. In toy form, the shoulders of the Battroid will probably be more separated, which is good IMHO. I like Gerwalk the best. Back on topic: As for the 21. Fighter all the way. It's the best looking mode of this latest rendition.
malakite Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Ya knoe.... the more I look at it, the more I dislike the YF-21 and the more I love the VF-25......
s001 Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 OMG! Yamato rules! that´s all I can say. I'm stunned! I'm definitely getting all the M+ line.
ghostryder Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) Hard to tell from the CG art, but the VF-25 design looks like a bit of a throwback compared to the YF-21/VF-22. Even a bit more primitive than the SV-51. Beautiful nonetheless! I'm still a sucker for 4th / 4.5 generation designs, so I'm all over it's looks... also a sucker for swing wings Edited November 23, 2007 by ghostryder
jenius Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 The 25 still just looks like a VF-11 with an updated aesthetic and wonkier chest transformation to me.
