Uxi Posted September 11, 2010 Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Is this a ground up redesign or the basic 1/60 YF-19 with different sized/shaped components? Most of the gimmicks (leg missiles, shoulders, etc) seem doable on the current design... Edited September 11, 2010 by Uxi

MacrossMax Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 wait and see this piece...may be i will buy it if the quality is ok...
Graham Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Graham---any news of Mylene's? Or even more importantly, a new YF-19? An all new YF-19 is actually a possibility for the future (say 2-3 years later), but far from confirmed at this stage. More in the 'we're just starting to consider it' category. Mylenes - no. Graham Is the prototype you are going to handle made out of resin? I was wondering if they are far enough to have a plastic prototype. It would be cool if they let you man handle it so they can iron out any issue before final production. That way we don't have a beautiful design tarnished(V2 1/60 VF-1 shoulder hinges on many of the initial releases). Also can you ask them if the Blazer will be released by summer 2011? Fire Valk is cool but I want Blazer more. I will most likely get the Fire Valkyrie too, but maybe after the Blazer. Resin sculpt only at the moment. They are still a long way from having anything in plastic. Blazer will definitely come. Graham

Graham Hmm...I think it will be fitting if Yamato makes an a V2 YF-19 for the later half of 2012; 30th Anniversary of Macross, with 1/60 VF-4 during the 1st half...fitting for the fighter that debuted in Flashback 2012 My reasoning for the 19 is that unlike the VF-11 and YF-21 in 1/60 scale, it looks dated compared to all the recent releases. Anyways back on the Fire Valkyrie, I hope the toy feels very solid and durable. Ratchets/detents on joints, et al. Yamato has improved a lot when it comes to making more solid toys.
AlphaOne Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Hi Graham, any word on how did the handling of the prototype go? Any updates on this valk?
Jasonc Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 No Mylene??? Awww, I would definitely go for that as well. But, priorities. Let's see this, then a VF-2SS
Arthurius Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 i guess we wont see any news on the fire valk till next year, as the sdf-1 is yamato's priority.... well, i guess that is ok now for me, since i have finally decided to buy the yf-19 BOP, and should give me enough time for next years toy: Blazzer. I guess that will probably come in the later part of the 2011. as for the vf-2SS, one can only dream... i have not seen any confirmation Yamato would be even considering that is a serious project they want to do in the short term...but if you think about it, there sure is alot of variations in the color scheme. I think everyone is also awaiting to see if Yamato or Bandai will do the vf-17 / vf-171, which is a macross 7 / macross frontier.
MR_Hyde Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Hi Graham, any word on how did the handling of the prototype go? Any updates on this valk? I'm wondering too- pretty much sitting on pins and needles. Honestly, the DN YF-19 is pretty damn good to me as far as articulation and transformation, my toy's joints are doing amazingly well. I do transform a lot. What I'd like to see is the mold lose a few pounds visually. The nose and main body just seem either a touch too short which makes it look fat in the neck or it's too fat in the neck making it look short. I'm not sure which one, but visually that's how it looks to me. Either way. . . I'll buy it. Hook, line, and sinker, yessiree.
Graham Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 The swivelling pilot seat on this is amazingly well implemented. The whole toy rocks the socks off the earlier YF-19. Graham
David Hingtgen Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I so want to make some sort of VF-25 Urkel socks comment...
m0n5t3r Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 The swivelling pilot seat on this is amazingly well implemented. The whole toy rocks the socks off the earlier YF-19. Graham we need pics!
Dobber Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Yes REALLY looking forward to more pictures! Chris
azrael Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 we need pics! So who was the one who took their stalking stake-out eyes off Graham? We keep telling you to keep those eyes on those monitors and watch when Graham goes out to dinner with Yamato.

ae_productions Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 You get to be one of the first to actually handle the prototype. That is pretty awesome.
kanedaestes Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 He usually is, he has connects at Yamato, so Graham is not just part of the duo that blessed us with this site, he's the gatekeeper to yamato lol.
AlphaOne Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Hi Graham, can you confirm if the prototype has some sort of chest lock for gerwalkand battroid mode? Thanks!
GRAND CANNON Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/iam-cybergundam/article?mid=60540
UN Spacy Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 LOL. This is gonna be so much better than the YF-19 it's ridiculous.
Kicker773 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Does the foot/ankle retract up a bit like the VF1's or is it just suppose to be like that?
Actar Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 You mean to say that we can finally get the VF-19 Kai in an awesome kneeling pose?!!
Twoducks Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Yummy!! And it looks like the SDF-1 is still planned for a December release (haven't seen much promotion of it in the hobby mags as Yamato usually does).
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) I'm so going to give the 19 a Guitar..,.. who needs a gunpod when your a rockSTAH! Edited November 9, 2010 by ruskiiVFaussie
m0n5t3r Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 looks great... the prospect of having different VF-19 models in 1/60 scale is pretty exciting...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Where can I preorder?? Not my favorite but it looks like it's going to be a great toy. It has all my support. I'd really like a YF-19 v2
hutch Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Curious...what does the card say about release date?
ff95gj Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Curious...what does the card say about release date? It only says 2011 release.
