BlueMax Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I prefer TV version or the darkest shade of red shown.
Renato Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Damn he just pulled another VF-0A! Wonder if the real color according to Kawamori is gloss crimson red. Who knows, it could even be green for all we know. I prefer TV version or the darkest shade of red shown. But the TV version was the brightest shade shown...
Andy NYK Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 You can see the colour samples here Hopefully they go with the darkest shade how about letting us choose the shade we want like a car?^^ that would cost u a bomb though, lol.
BlueMax Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) But the TV version was the brightest shade shown... Yes, to me, a TV accurate red is best, but since it has to be different, then the darkest shade available is preferred. Edited January 24, 2011 by BlueMax
Mommar Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Apparently, they took this painted prototype over to BigWest, who promptly said "That's not the colour, change it!" Even though Yamato had matched it to what appears onscreen in the show. Then they showed Kawamori, who said "Yeah, that's the colour in the SHOW... buuuuuut it's not the REAL colour, sorry!" So now Yamato is at a loss and has resorted to just displaying samples and asking for opinions from people like us. So, they bitched it wasn't the right color but didn't give Yamato an idea what it actually was? That's... the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I don't like what you have but I'm not going to tell you what I like!
Snail00 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 You can see the colour samples here Hopefully they go with the darkest shade Holly Crap I just saw an Orgas valk. Yamato is doing Orgus!!!!! holly crap!
eugimon Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Holly Crap I just saw an Orgas valk. Yamato is doing Orgus!!!!! holly crap! the white board is a wish list, so no such luck just yet.

Renato Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Holly Crap I just saw an Orgas valk. Yamato is doing Orgus!!!!! holly crap! Heh, I drew that. Yamato was like: "Oh...yeah. THAT thing." Then this other (non-Yamato) guy and I debated the transformation: "No, the arms are between the legs in Gerwalk and stowed in Flyer mode!" "Oh are they? Oh, yeah!" Then h whipped out his iPhone and started playing THE SHADOW CHRONICLES ON IT so I promptly left.
wolfx Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I love this beast. BOMBA! I was gonna comment on the horrible gaps on the knees until I noticed those are black paint. lol. It looks pretty durable and actually playable. I hope this is the case. Edited January 25, 2011 by wolfx
VF-18S Hornet Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Quinjester, You Rock! Thank you for the sweet pictures this is amazing
ae_productions Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 this is amazing I know! Every pic I see this toy looks better and better!
valhary Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 someone can tell me if the eyes are of crystal clear or painted
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 someone can tell me if the eyes are of crystal clear or painted I don't see why they wouldn't be translucent green.
Reïvaj Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I need a VF-19FIRE for my Macross collection, any suggestion?
Arthurius Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 yamato of course, anything else would be uncivilized!!!
Raptor One Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Lol Yamato no contest. Though impressively the Bandai looks pretty good even in comparison
anime52k8 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I need a VF-19FIRE for my Macross collection, any suggestion? The Yamato sculpt blows away the Bandai in every way except for the feet (the Yamato's are a little small to me). Also, the Yamato will have such extravagant luxuries as landing gear and a gunpod that will actually attach in fighter mode.
jenius Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Also, the Yamato will have such extravagant luxuries as landing gear and a gunpod that will actually attach in fighter mode. Yes, but will it be straight? Also, it will be roughly $150 more expensive (guessing) than the Bandai so that might be something to consider.
Vifam7 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I need a VF-19FIRE for my Macross collection, any suggestion? This. Nice cheap alternative. Amazing how they much got it right way back then. Edited January 26, 2011 by Vifam7
UN Spacy Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 I need a VF-19FIRE for my Macross collection, any suggestion? Yamato for me. The Bandai's got a decent price though.
Renato Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 The Bandai's got a decent price though. For an incomplete toy. You need to pay through the nose for stupid limited sets with things like landing and FISTS, etc. if you want a proper toy of the 19.
QuinJester Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 For an incomplete toy. You need to pay through the nose for stupid limited sets with things like landing and FISTS, etc. if you want a proper toy of the 19. I wasn't aware that my Hi Metal VF-19 that can transform into fighter, gerwalk, and battroid modes was both incomplete and improper. Damn. That sucks.
badboy00z Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I need a VF-19FIRE for my Macross collection, any suggestion? I mentioned before that I like the lanky look of Bandai's but seeing them together Yamato's looks really sexy. Wish it just had bigger feet like on Bandai's.
Reïvaj Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Wonder Festival 2011 (winter) News!!! Yamato will be presenting its VF-19FIRE in all its three forms (fighter, gerwalk and battroid) and even a sound booster mock!!! Looking forward to the new images! From Yamato’s site at: http://www.yamato-toys.com/event/201102/index.html?infolnk=index
AlphaOne Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Anybody know if this will have some sort of chest locking mechanism or something? Also, still haven't heard if the hand plates will be changed from being all red to only the "grate" part being red...
Reïvaj Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Anybody know if this will have some sort of chest locking mechanism or something? Also, still haven't heard if the hand plates will be changed from being all red to only the "grate" part being red... I can see in the CAD drawings that the chest plate is locked by sliding the neck base forward when transforming into battroid mode. It is also locked in gerwalk mode by the two pegs on the inner side of the wing gloves. Don´t worry about the hand plates. We have only seen pictures of the painted resin prototype and it still lacks some detail. Due to the fact that the hand plates are indeed correctly sculpted, even if Yamato releases the toy with all red hand plates it would be very easy to change it as I have done with Photoshop in a picture. See http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32377&view=findpost&p=883402 and http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32377&view=findpost&p=883385.
Reïvaj Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 The neck base –which is attached to the chest plate- slides into the nose cone keeping thus all the pieces locked. The chest plate does not appear in the CAD drawing.
AlphaOne Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Hey thanks Reivaj! I was concerned about those two things for a while now. Thanks for clearing it up!
Reïvaj Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Hey thanks Reivaj! I was concerned about those two things for a while now. Thanks for clearing it up! Don’t mention it! I myself am very excited about this release!
EXO Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 You guys should've gone to MWCon and ask the designer yourselves... lol.
