Mr March Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 True, True. I suspect as much about the target audience, although I ain't that much of a fan of anime these days. Here's a thought: If Yamato is trying to sell the GNU line based on the posability of the figure, and to compete with Kaiyodo's Revoltech, then I think they still have a long way to go. IMO, what's the point of getting the GNU line if the 1/60 YF-19 can achieve the same articulation, or even better(Yeah, I tend to push the limits of the 1/60 YF-19 quite a bit back then, although I don't take as many pics as I should)? Sturdiness? That shouldn't be enough. So the target market is definitely old-school fans as mentions above as far as the GNU line is concerned. That has been one of my major concerns since this whole action figure line was announced. If I'm buying a non-transformable action figure that can't do articulation all that much better than the transformable 1/60 line, what is the point? I think a lot of us have been caught up in the Kaiyodo vs. Yamato comparisons and really forgot to ask ourselves that very fundamental question. I totally understand where you're coming from. Quote
renkenjutsu Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) If the tips about the Zero revoltech release is true, there's won't be a ghost booster adorning it I wager Seeing as how the ghost booster requires the backpack to be unfolded in the first place. If they can get around it like by introducing interchangeable backpacks, now that'd be awesome. Edited June 27, 2008 by renkenjutsu Quote

I'll say i won't be dissapointed if it doesn't have the Ghost Booster, only as long as it has the leg FPs. Quote
miriya Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 The zeros would be great. It is funny because I really like the revoltech VF-1, and the Frauleins. I guess if there were no GNU line then I would like the Mac+ ones too. I do welcome any more macross releases from revoltech. Quote
renkenjutsu Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Just got my 19 and 21 revvies. They are awesome! Though the fast pack pegs on the 19 is a little fragile and small imho. The 21 is much more better than I thought it would be. Quote
GogDog Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Wish they were bigger, but the more I play with them, the less I am disappointed. Terrific figures. Quote
Graham Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Damn, accidently knocked my Revy YF-19 off a 5' shelf yesterday onto my wood bedroom floor and the head laser snapped off. Was able to glue it back on, but still upsetting. I really hate it when toys break, especially when it's my fault. Graham Quote
Renato Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Mine fell off the shelf, and one of the shoulder FAST pack connectors broke off. Not a good week for toys, what with my SV-51 breaking right on the second transformation. Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Renato. How'd you break your SV-51? Is it repairable? Quote
Renato Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 The thigh just fell apart. I posted a few pics in the Sv-51 thread. Quote
Hikaru's VF-1S Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 well saturday i got a YF-19 revy from F&S. pretty fun figure, heres some pics i took for fun quickly. sorry for bad lighting, cell phone camera XP heres a couple of pics with my only other revy right now, gurren lagann: Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Just recieved my pair today! no camera on hand, later. Edited June 30, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Kelsain Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I'll say i won't be dissapointed if it doesn't have the Ghost Booster, only as long as it has the leg FPs. If they do make a VF-0, my only request is that it be properly to scale with the VF-1. But, since they didn't do that with the 19 & 21, I'm not holding my breath. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Nah,. we could only hope they make the SV-51 big ass, but even that won't happen. GNU's will probably be what we want to handle this for us, but meh i'll just play with my 1/60s if neither Revy or GNU can accomplish something so simple. Quote
Fly4victory Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 If they do make a VF-0, my only request is that it be properly to scale with the VF-1. But, since they didn't do that with the 19 & 21, I'm not holding my breath. If enough people in Japan say make them larger perhaps things will work out in the end. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I was comparing my YF-21 revy to my doyusha 1/144 scaled YF-21 and it's very similar in scale! I love these. Oh btw, it's incoreect to say the YF-21 has only '1' Gunpod. It has three to be exact. Just not removable from the Fast Packs. I hope if Yamato get a clue and make the YF-21 and YF-19 again with FP's that i can slot my YF-21 gunpods in the Fps. Pics soon. Quote
Renato Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Couple of shots to rival that "GNU balancing on the edge of a table" thing a few pages back". Quote
Mr March Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Hehehe, nice pictures. Looks like YF-19 and Prime are dancin' I purchased both the YF-19 and YF-21 yesterday, but haven't had a chance to take pictures as yet. I'll try to get some out in the next day or two. Quote
Kelsain Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Sorry, couldn't help it... Prime just looks so sleazy! Edited July 1, 2008 by Kelsain Quote

Nani?! Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Master, I seek your guidance in attaining Fast Packs! "Silly Yamato, Fast Packs are for Revoltechs." hahahaha Can the GNU hold that cross legged pose?? Quote
Fly4victory Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Nope! The GNU is missing the upper leg 360 swivel joint above the knee and below the hip that the Revy's have. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Master, I seek your guidance in attaining Fast Packs! "Silly Yamato, Fast Packs are for Revoltechs." hahah nice!!!!

Mr March Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Nice pictures ruskiiVFaussie! I really like the extra pin-point barriers on the YF-21. Your YF-19 pose is in a great spot because the dark roof of your display cabinet hides the stand attached to the Revy. Cool stuff! Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Holy Cheese and Rice, your cabinet looks like a fat guy wearing a small shirt anxious to bust at the seems for relief. Quote
