Cent Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Is it just me, or does the center pic looks like a Bay-former face? ... omg... he's right!

Excillon Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 I really hate the orange one. The other one is nice though.

blacklotus Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Huh??? I guess it flew past my head... XD I guess it's a Decepticon. I will treat the face dropping as a bonus. At least the VF22S is a better looking 'Transformer' than the official Hasbro stuff with all the fibbles. Edited August 26, 2009 by blacklotus
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Ohh... you meant that thing. Yea its the crappy fodder version of Sideswipe from the HA line. Notice how it's just sitting in the pile of stuff. My valks get plenty of standing room, no matter how much they fall apart on me. LOL

Notice how it's just sitting in the pile of stuff. My valks get plenty of standing room, no matter how much they fall apart on me. LOL Oh, I didn't notice the Transformer in your photo. I was just commenting on the new line of Transformer toys from Hasbro: how even after having transformed to a jet plane, it doesn't look like a jet plane from the underside. The topside is good. But turn it over and .... Tis too bad, cause I really like the SR71A Blackbird and Jetfire in the movie. Edited August 26, 2009 by blacklotus
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Ahh okay... yea you were referring to Jetfire from the TF line. Yea that thing is unfortunate.
Knightdramon Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 So has anybody actually acquired the supposedly "fixed" repaints of the YF-19 and can comment on them, or are we going to babble on for pages about bayformers and how a headless VF-22 resembles them? For such a small community with so little variations\releases of modern toys compared to other franchises, you people surely couldn't discuss less about the newest offerings.

For such a small community with so little variations\releases of modern toys compared to other franchises, you people surely couldn't discuss less about the newest offerings. Yikes. Some would respectfully (or not respectfully) disagree - take a look around the forum to see the multiple discussions on other new toys. Even ad nauseam... Re: your specific question, you're probably not seeing much news on the new YF-19 repaints because as most have opted, or at least stated, they would not buy them because they weren't interested in the new paint schemes. -b.

Graham Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Here's some pics of the white & blue YF-19. As promised, Yamato have definitely tightened up some of the joints in battroid mode and the toy no longer feels like a floppy mess, unlike the original Macross Plus colors YF-19 toy. The main improvements are where the wings join to the hips. As you can see from the pics, both wings can now hold a horizontal position in battroid mode. I left the wings like that overnight and they hadn't drooped at all by morning. Another improvemnt is the locking of the shoulders. On the original YF-19, when you angled up the shoulders, even glancing at them the wrong way would cause them to drop down. On this lastest version, the shoulders lock very positively in the angled up position. The small shoulder flaps aslo feel much tioghter and don't pop out all the time. Likewise, the arms and leg joints also seem a bit tighter. Graham
ff95gj Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I want to add too: On day 1 when it was out of the box, the wings could not lock to the leg slots. I was puzzled then because the 25th anni version does not have this problem and we are talking about the same mold. It is now verified to be the assembly worker's problem; when I tranformed it back to fighter mode, the wings can now lock properly.
Negotiator Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Great pics guys! The white plastic looks so good. Any stressed plastic inside the fusal lodge? How well does the chest hold together in battroid?
Foblander Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Wasn't the white & blue YF-19 suppose to have red stripes in it instead of black?
eriku Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Oh man, the beauty of that blue & white 19 is almost overtaking my logic and reason....must resist!
nightmareB4macross Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Both of the new YF-19(s) look great. I'll have to get these when I get the chance. I'm really digging the orange w/black scheme. Perfect for HALLOWEEN. Can anyone of you two, please take a pic of all 4 variants (side-by-side)? In all modes? Thanks,
kung flu Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I like the blue version, are these models cannon or are they yamato exclusives?
azrael Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I like the blue version, are these models cannon or are they yamato exclusives? Yamato exclusives.
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Wasn't the white & blue YF-19 suppose to have red stripes in it instead of black? The red was changed to black some months back.
honkhet Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 hi guys, js wanna ask is the pilot for the new YF-19 the VF-11B isamu or the old YF-19 isamu? also do the shoulders lock in gerwalk mode? thanks
ff95gj Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 hi guys, js wanna ask is the pilot for the new YF-19 the VF-11B isamu or the old YF-19 isamu? also do the shoulders lock in gerwalk mode? thanks Old Isamu Sorry that I don't really understand the shoulder questions... They have to lock in gerwalk mode?
valhary Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 what..... ....old isamu!!!! only for that i dont buy it that is like one step back shame of you yamato
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Does anyone have a blacklight and the orange -19? I really wanna see if that orange reacts like everything orange in my room against intense UV. Man... When I do that, everything NERF, Nickolodeon, and Airsoft lights up.
MacrossMan Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Meh...I'd rather have the white and blue version which sounds to be tighter painted in its original paint scheme.
sidearmsalpha Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Not repainting the Isamu figure to match the YF-19 scheme is so lazy. Not a big fan of the -19. The regular one will do it for me unless these go on clearance at some insane price.

derex3592 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Oh man, the beauty of that blue & white 19 is almost overtaking my logic and reason....must resist! SAME HERE!!! Somebody help! I don't have a 19 yet!! Not my favorite mecha by any means, but my 21 and 11B are SO lonely!!
SchizophrenicMC Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Looking over at my bookshelf, that blue and white YF-19 looks a lot like Transformers Armada Series-2 Jetfire, in terms of colorscheme.
vf_1s Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Can someone please take pictures of the sticker sheet of the orange yf-19? I was wondering if Yamato features the deco seen in the original design (as seen in hobby japan a few years ago) ? The orange looks a bit plain to me, and I am hoping that some deco would spice it up! Thanks

The regular one will do it for me unless these go on clearance at some insane price. They did repaint it, for the bird of prey. And give it a new name. Ms. Amy Cunningam has a grey flight suit.
Chindenathus Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 BEWARE!!! The Headless VF-22S! LOL I was in mid transformation back to gerwalk mode and the face just unclipped itself... Those images have me thinking my VF-22 should be be piloted by LEGION... (It was the mask/face in hand that had me thinking of the image below.)
