Yamato GN-U Non-transforming Macross Action Figures

[do not disturb]

You know, seeing how perfect the YF-21 is, i'm feeling a sense of completion, i'm feeling i could actually be done with collecting! I don't care about these poseables!

i'm with you!

no transformation = not a good macross toy

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Yeah, maybe for a Gundam toy, but we ani't talking about lame Gundams here.

Weird feeling, after the 1/60 21, i could be done spending my hard earned dosh.

So you really think Yamato will just let you walk away after the YF-21? Well think again my friend because after the 21 there will be the VF-11 and your 21 will desperatly need some canon fodders to shoot out of the display case.

You won't be able to resist I tell ya! You try to take one step out of this hobby and they'll pull you right back in! :lol:

Or near the end I suppose. That is great news. Finally a rest break from spending!

[ruskiiVFaussie]

We will see. ;D

Your right it's coming to an end finally for most of us. 21 is the Fav,

can't beat that feeling of your Fav Valk being made for ya finally.

Well, as far as big buys are concerned, the 11 may be the last.

IF Yamato gets a go ahead to make the VF-25 i may be sucked back in.

I'm mehmeh on getting the reactive armour. Which means i'd have to get a VF-0S... (if it's gonna be made)

Ghost will come out, if there is anything i want to shoot down it will be the X-9! Won't be that expensive.

I still need to get my projector/surroundsound system yet, that's some big bucks, all these toys and not having a high end home cinema to watch the anime!

And i want to save up for my billards table, that's a must have. All this before the stalk comes in the near future. ~_~

[Dante74]

And after the Reactive Armor there's the VF-0D.

And on and on it goes...

[sqidd]

We will see. ;D

I agree, I am getting to the end too, thank god! I still have my eye out for soe old vintage stuff that can be put on display in the box, but aside from that all I want that is coming out is one 21 and a 25th VF-1S. Aside from those I don't have a burnin fire to get anything else.

I'm kinda sad

[lechuck]

Looks like the GN-U line has already started. While surfing on the toyboxdx forums there is a thread

discussing Yamato's Braiger offering. In that said thread there is a link to someones site with pics of

the toy and future offerings. And lo and behold a pic of the YF-19 and YF-21...

It's getting ridiculous that we have to constantly scour the internet for some pics instead of getting

this from Yamato first hand with the somewhat close connection we have to them. And no I AM NOT

BLAMING OR AIMING AT GRAHAM with my comment. It's Yamatos "secret agency" approach on

everything that's getting on my nerves.

[Twoducks]

Thanks for the pic!

The YF-19 and 21 both look really nice as far as I can make out. Big feet on the 21 and a big gunpod on the 19

there could be a simple reason for this. It could be argued, that if yamato did grace this site with news and information on their macross toys, that they are ADVERTISING their products in the USA market... which would put them in legal trouble as they don't have the rights to do so.

Speak for yourself. There's a lot more thing I wanna get, and I'm glad that Yamato is finally calming down with the releases. I wanna start spending on nice clothes, a new car....

[Guest sh002]

looks like the 21 has a gunpod as well. damn but they'll be too small with my loose 1/72 collection. hmm i could keep them unopened.

[promethuem5]

Look fun to me... can't wait to see some more pics.

[Black Valkyrie]

I really don`t care for them, I only wish if yamato would release Macross character action figures.

[Guld]

Nothing about the release date?

[Kicker773]

Here's a pic. This truly is a Monster with a capital "M"

I seriously had a dream last night that these were produced and i bought one...

[Mr March]

Thanks for the pics lechuck. I agree it is certainly frustrating not getting this information from the horse's mouth as they say, but at least you found something. Import toy news is 99% word of mouth at best.

[Smiley424]

I'll have to see some more detailed pics, but they look pretty good so far. Bring on the Destroids Yamato!!!

[sqidd]

Yeah, thats the cool thing about non transforming toys. They can be made more cartoon like. I like the Revoltechs for that reason. Hell, the gun pods arte about half the size of the figure!

[sqidd]

I would buy one without hesitation!

[Mowe]

Just browse through Yamato's GN-U line line page. It looks like the GN-U line is divided into 3 categories:

1. GN-U Action Figure

2. GN-U Metal Figure

3. GN-U Transformation Figure

The new Macross stuff falls into the GN-U Action Figure line. I am more impress with Yamato's other two line in which they re-venturing back to big metal super robot figures.

[jenius]

Does the site say those toys are going to cost $150 or am I missing something about converting Yen to dollars?

[Guld]

Yamato wrote "YF-11B"

[Guld]

Does the site say those toys are going to cost $150 or am I missing something about converting Yen to dollars?

1. GN-U Action Figure = 25cms / ￥ 18,690

2. GN-U Metal Figure _ 20cms / ￥16,590

3. GN-U Transformation Figure = S (11 cms), M (13 cms), L (15 cms) maybe ￥1.600

[miriya]

So does this mean that these will not be cheaper than the current line of Yamato Macross valks? Does it also mean that they will be transformable? What does this all mean?!

don't worry man, they are yamato releases but they are not macross toys.

[miriya]

Oh, OK. Thanks.

[miriya]

I WOULD LOVE FOR YAMATO TO MAKE A HIKARU FAN RACER! Perhaps a 1/48 scale one to go with our 1/48 VF-1 collections. That would be non transforming and quite small and very cool IMHO. However a 1/24 or 1/18 scale would be cool too.

EDIT: The accessories (included) would be a minmei figure to sit on his lap in the cockpit and a giant Maguro Tuna Fish that floats next to it.

I do not know if anyone has posted this yet but from the Yamato site.....

[Ghostkiller]

the vf11 looks GREAT THKS MIRIYA !!!!!!!!!

[miriya]

Yeah, I think they look great. From that small photo it looks like I will be getting all three if the price is not too high.

[kensei]

They look quite robust for their size.

[eugimon]

oooh, they do look pretty good. The exagerated bell bottoms on the yf-21 are almost comical, imo.

[MaveRick]

defintely looks way better than the revoltechs.. i wonder if their articulation could decently keep up with the revoltechs as well..
