BlueMax Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I prefer TV version or the darkest shade of red shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted January 24, 2011 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMax Posted January 24, 2011 Share 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.

Mommar Posted January 24, 2011 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted January 24, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anime52k8 Posted January 25, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted January 25, 2011 Share 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.

Renato Posted January 26, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Share 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!

AlphaOne Posted January 29, 2011 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted January 29, 2011 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
