Twoducks Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Love that shade of red Reïvaj! Kawamori, please use your color altering retcon powers to go more pastel and less happy-meal.
Frogze Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Actually I'd really love if the final version was done in the same kind of glossy plastic that the Ingrams were made of, that would make it look just like it did in the show

M'Kyuun Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 The mold is looking great, but I'm just not crazy about that red and yellow color scheme, nor the face. If anybody's feeling frisky w/ Photoshop, it'd be neat to see a Blazer scheme.

Hope it's not going to have some evil weakness embedded! (crossing my fingers). (OT alert) If Yamato can pull off such a cool toy so many years after the show was over, I can only dream what VF-25 , VF-27 or VF-171 they can make in the distant future. (/OT alert) I was thinking the same thing. But would rather buy a "VF-19A Excaliber" from "VFX-2" build. Although I am seriously considering buying this. Edited November 20, 2010 by DARKWIND
UN Spacy Posted November 21, 2010 Author Posted November 21, 2010 DAT KNEELING POSE. I know I've seen it in an episode before. I can't wait to see how they implement the flight controls.
Arthurius Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 man, i am halfway through macross 7, and i am now liking the vf-19 kai, cant wait for it to come out, hope it will have tight joints.
Vic Mancini Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I had some free time today to mess around in PS, so I slapped some Blazer colors on the Kai prototype.
valhary Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 i edited the head i hope dont care Vic Mancini

Kanedas Bike Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Apologies up front if I missed this explained earlier, but why is the Battroid mode so...stubby? Is that how the VF-19 looks in the line-art and animation or is it a product of the prototype pics we've seen? -b.

It's just all the toy got the legs wrong until now

Reïvaj Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Hi guys! I´ve just seen this TwitPic by Yamato_Toys… Do you think it could belong to what I think?
Arthurius Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Graham, can you pls talk with Yamato if the can include a special stand with either the vf-19 kai, or with the sound booster set, similar to one made for the yf-21, to really help with the batroid mode with the sound booster (or even without) to be like it was floating. The standard yamato arm stand just doesnt cut it, and i find the stand included with the yf-21 to be superior as it can properly hold the valk in all modes, and is transparent. I havent seen this mentioned (maybe i missed it), that's why i am worried it wont be included. Also, Graham, pls ask Yamato to make sure joints are tight. I do also want the basara figure with the guitar to be included, as you already mentioned. All this said, i was planning to originally only buy the blazzer only, as it looked nicer. However, after finally watching macross 7, not only did i like it more than the other macross series, but i thoughed Basara was my favorate character in all of the series, and am now planning to buy first the vf-19 kai, and if i have money and still really want it, the blazzer. The sound booster is a must for me!!! And i really would like a proper stand.

The bottom left and right are a tweeter and parts for the shoulder speaker. http://www.macross2.net/m3/macross7/vf-19custom/vf-19custom-battroid-shoulderpods.gif
Reïvaj Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) It looks like there will be a lot of really nice details on this toy! I’d being working on a Blazer colour scheme but Vic Mancini has already made a very good job with it. So just let me share with you all a more detailed version of my previous Kai prototype. Edited November 27, 2010 by Reïvaj
Jasonc Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Looking pretty awesome. Can't wait to start seeing real colored pics. Great work on the Blazer valk too. Looks like that would be very promising.

Cool...thanks guys. My mental image of the YF is that of a more slim profile so that's why this is in such contrast in my eyes. If both are supposed to be bulky/stubby then Yamato's emphasis on B mode comes through loud and clear. -b.

Actually, I'm hoping that Yamato revises the YF-19 eventually with these proportions and engineering. That'd be the definitive 19 for me.
00Geass Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 OHH boy can't wait till this is released so we get the VF-17D, as soon as it's announced i'm selling my VF-1S to get it
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Can't wait for this baby................

Uxi Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Limited exclusive? Not possible... high price? Certainly less than the SDF-1... but maybe more than a VF-22 MSRP?
jenius Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I find it highly unlikely this toy would be an exclusive. I just heard a rumor that the MSRP hasn't been determined yet but to expect it to be the most expensive valk to date (and that's before we even consider the better Yen:Dollar times). Maybe that means it will come packed with lots of goodies though.
