Yamato GN-U Non-transforming Macross Action Figures

[Fly4victory]

had a hunch that new one's were gonna come out... guess that's why the non-weathered one's went on sale...

might just get the repaints...

Dude, where's the sale?

Link Please. HLJ still looks like full price.

There will be VF-1S (strike pack) and VF-1A (fast pack) for 2009.

[Al Bundy]

The repaints of the YF-19a Excalibur and VF-11B Thunderbolt are up for preorder at HLJ.

YF-19a Excalibur and VF-11B Thunderbolt are Yamato Friend Shop Exclusive like how the VF-1A Max Revoltech was.

[Sumdumgai]

It's a VF-19A Excalibur, HLJ got the designation wrong. It's a nice alternate color scheme for the 19.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

sooo... all fast packs in one box?????

and ooOoo VF-1S GNU... that should be interesting... kinda.... well no, boring really.

I just love my GN-U YF-21. The plastic quality does take it into a whole new level compared to the Revy. You really could make a partsforming fighter with some work!

It would be perfect but the articulation wasn't up to what the real GN-U frame shows possible. Just a little swivel joint in the middle of the hips (where you see the black line) would free it up a lot.

This little toy has shown me that I like the 21's anime magic robot mode over fighter. I'll probably dump my 1/60 YF-21 since its Battroid hasn’t grown on me and I just find the toy too expensive to just keep in fighter mode. Yamato's cute 1/200 fixed pose gasapons can satiate my fighter hunger a lot cheaper.

Yeah me too, from my observation, these gn-us are made based on kawamoris sketches? I realised that the vf-11b with its big arms and nearly oval legs(unlike its 1/72) is based on these sketches/illustration. If you google vf-11b, these illustration can b seen in steelfalcon compedium. Even so for vf-19 and 21. These illustration is really detailed for macross zeros especially sv-51s. Does this mean macross zeros gn-u will be unimaginably detailed? I really cant wait for vf-1s gn-u, will it look like the revoltechs.

[Graham]

I certainly hope not. IMO, the Revoltingtech VF-1 toys are absolutely horrible looking.

[Valkyrie addict]

so Graham, the GNU line sold pretty well then for Yamato to start making the VF-1S, will they be making other lines from other macross series!? wink wink

That's the plan, or so I've been told.

Graham

[miriya]

I would love to get GN-U

VF-4

VF-5000

VF-9

[Graham]

Definitely buying the VF-19A and white VF-11, they look great.

Graham

[David Hingtgen]

Eh, give my a GN-U Mylene's valk---my Bandai battroid kit just doesn't cut it any more.

Graham

I have the yf-21, getting the yf-19 for comparison since the arm for my yf-21 gn-u is loose but it does not affect overall poseability and playability, the molding inside is fine but not quite fit/loose? Anyone notice this?

[David Hingtgen]

Anyone tried parts-swapping? Can you mix parts between GN-U and Revoltech? (not just Revoltech valks, but ANY Revoltech figure?)

[Kelsain]

The VFX recolored 11 looks pretty sweet actually. I may pick one of those up.

Yeah, I'm loving the VFX 11 scheme, as well. I preordered that bad boy. But I've never been a fan of the "easter egg" 19. Yuck.

[Spiff]

So Graham

When is Yamato going to make the VF-11 Full Armor? Now that would get me into the gnu line...

That's the IHP resin kits.

Its ok Radar, I got the pun.

Anyways, I went into ToyTown in Eastwood City lastnight with the intent of purchasing the VF-11 GN-U, but they wanted 1999P for it, which is about $44. So obviously I passed, since 44 is way overpriced for 1 GN-U.

I do really want an 11 for sure though, as well as the new one thats coming out soon. Beautiful!

if you're still in manila, try looking for the gnu at greattoys goldcrest makati , i got mine for 1,100P. if they're out, there's a store near them that sells it for 1200P.

GN-U　improvement of FAST pack and movable new inner frame (Hobbystock article)

yeah the vf-11 is too detailed to be a gn-u, but of course the gn-us are sufficiently detailed dun get me wrong

[Valkyrie addict]

I can't read japanese so I'm not clear on the inner movable frame, is it the torse that will now be able to pivot up and down and sideways like the Revoltechs?? will they improve it on their existing macross line or will it be available for other lines

that's what really limited the GNU poseability... I hope it is... cause this is the reason I didn't buy this yet and I don't like the revoltech finish and size... sweet, guess I save myself by waiting and will be getting a more articulated toy with FP... yes!

[jenius]

You're forgetting that the GNU frame isn't implemented in whole on all GNU toys and that the parts of the frame that are implemented are often blocked by the outer shell of the toy. I wouldn't expect future versions of the YF-19, YF-21 or VF-11 to be any more poseable than the current batch.

[Californium]

I'd love to see some destroids in the GNU Dou line. Hell, all of them. It'd be a great way to get a MkII Monster that's both affordable and light enough to hold more than just a few poses without toppling.

[Lethalzero]

saw this at a local shop

[EXO]

are they gonna sell these?

[Black Valkyrie]
