physioguy Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 My only complaint before I saw the latest pics was the glossy finish, which... from the new pics, seems to be more of a semi-gloss, satin-like finsh, which is way better IMO.
Kyp Durron Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Bring on the repaints! Only if Yamato has the M7 license... Otherwise, they'd have to get creative. -Kyp

Kyp Durron Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Stealth! That would be awesome if done right. -Kyp
Beware of Blast Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 This pic here looks great, i'm happy enough with Battroid mode. I had been waiting for a side on pic... http://ga.sbcr.jp/mgangu/010020/27.html Can't see much with that only pic of the battroid side. I hope his nose cone & head hood can lock securely. Because on my 1/72 YF21, I swear everytime I try to pick him up, it can't decide if it wants to stay a battroid or change into a jet & flyaway! And when I put him down to relax, he simply collapses and pass out everytime.
Alex Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Saw the 21 on display in Akiba yesterday. Sorry, no pics. It looked to me to have a matte finish. It was only in fighter mode. The stand looks nice in clear plastic.
Dante74 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 REALLY!?! Can you snap a pic of here next to a 1/48 VF-1 for me in Battroid and Fighter modes and post them in the Macross Pose thread? I would love that! Here's a comparison pic for ya. the SV-51 is even bigger than the YF-21. Back to the YF-21.
Mog Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Such a beautiful bird!! Please tell me that head turns. It'd be awesome if the whole head and cowl can turn. But I'd be cool with just the head moving just a bit. Two YF-21's for this kupo-spouting moogle! .......All 1/60 scales, right Dante74? Edited May 26, 2008 by Mog
Alex Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 So, it's either out tomorrow or the 28th. I've been to a few stores which all say tomorrow (27th)
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Everyone wants Macross 7 paint jobs, I think a low viz grey 2 tone scheme would be perfect for the YF-21.
eugimon Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Everyone wants Macross 7 paint jobs, I think a low viz grey 2 tone scheme would be perfect for the YF-21. Given the obvious design inspiration, don't you agree that it's not only perfect, but mandatory?
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) this is the best looking plane ever, no questions on that. The robot mode though, i want more pictures, with the feets being straigth (not bent knees) and facing straight, with the fps on, as well as the air intake part on chest being open. Hope people who are getting this shortly will take those pictures for us. If this turns out to be great, then i can certainly understand why some people are buying two, cause the is just no way one would keep it in robot mode when the plane mode is the best looking plane ever, and thus to have it in robot mode, a second one is needed . lol.. actually i'm getting it for Fighter Mode with FP's and straight wings and the all cool el-diablo De-Limiter mode!!! Of course i will change the De-Limiter mode into battroid every now and then, this thing is too damn good to only have one in your cabinet. AND COZ IT'S MY FAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV!!!!!!!!!!!!! KICK ASS YAMATO! Edited May 26, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
MaveRick Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 i am torn between buying either a SV-51 Nora to compliment with my VF-0A shin with ghost and this one with my YF-19.. seeing the latest pictures, makes it more difficult to decide!!! arggh!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Nah, a second one is needed for customizing. Paint scheme? VF-22? I want that kit.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Can't wait for the reviews. Sure looks great in fighter mode. About the only complaint is the feet, but since it destroys the 1/72 and that is its only competition out there, that can be forgiven. Repaints: Gamlin. The VF-22 from one of the ovas that he appeared in. Thanks. It would fit in nicely with the 25th aniversary stuff I would imagine. I don't have any money to buy this right now though. I blame all the hasbro transformer stuff I bought. (I should have not bought leader class brawl movie. It ate a chunk of the yf-21 money But good thing yamato delays releases. Not for those who want it early of course. Just saying it's a busy period right now for transforming robots) Edit: oh yeah almost forgot I just bought a mz23 garland too... Whatever the repaint is, I hope there is a looooooooong time (wallet healing period) before it comes out after the canon yf-21 colour release. Edited May 26, 2008 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I was always going to get the early bird YF-21 release, just that i downgraded from 5 to 2. Yes blame that on other purchases. (Mospeada most of all u greedy b^tch!)
Dante74 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Some Pictures. http://ga.sbcr.jp/mgangu/010020/ We know. That link was posted 3 pages ago.
Golden Arms Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 That's my big concern as well. Will the feet be ablt to support it weight, and will the backpack lock into place in battroid mode? But otherwise the 21 looks gorgeous and I can't wait to get it. Bring on the repaints!!!
thankheaven Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 WOW! Still wish they had gone with the glossy finish but thats just nitpicking, this looks great! Maybe they could release a glossy YF-21 and 19 later I wonder how secure the limbs are and how the system to detach them works for limbless mode.
peolesdru Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I don't have any money to buy this right now though. I blame all the hasbro transformer stuff I bought. (I should have not bought leader class brawl movie. It ate a chunk of the yf-21 money I don't see any reason to feel too bad about that. After all Brawl = Best Tankbot Ever. I know what you mean about it being a heavy bot season - I still can't decide if I'm going to get Animated or skip it. It'd be an easy decision if I had a chin fetish
misterryno Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Here's a comparison pic for ya. the SV-51 is even bigger than the YF-21. Back to the YF-21. WHOLY $HIT!!! The SV-51 is freakin HUGE! I will be picking one of those up...after I get a YF-21...which I guess I'll have to drool over everyone elses until I can afford one. Actually......my 4 year anniversary is coming up with my fiancee....and I know she won't buy me one.....anyone else want to ?!?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Given the obvious design inspiration, don't you agree that it's not only perfect, but mandatory? laugh.gif HELL YEA! Plus...had no idea that this and the SV-51 were that big in this scale. It looks huge in that gallery pic where that guy is holding in his hand!

Mog Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Paint scheme? VF-22? I want that kit. Just a paint scheme. The only major modding I've done on the mecha side of things is straightening out a gunpod's placement and fixing up some landing gears. <Glares at the YF-19> Most of my customizing and modding seems to be in the 3 3/4" scale.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 At first I was just thinking that guy has tiny hands....but no no no...it's gonna be big. YAY!!! Actually he's a circus midget, the YF-21 he is holding is a 1/144..... 4 years anniversary??? Like my missus and i only just celebrated ours (4th) last Christmas.

Cool, what colour paint scheme you want for it?
