Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Thanks for the new pics!! It's really looking great.
takatoys Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Wait till we get an arm breakage report shortly after release... sorry, I couldn't help it You are right, I think I am being too optimistic. With Yamato, you never know Anyhow, this toy looks darn good.
Mommar Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) This is the most awesome toy I don't want to buy. Other than the 1/3000 DYRL version SDF-1. Edited May 17, 2011 by Mommar
charger69 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Height difference between VF-19 and VF-11B is not that bad IMO Edited May 17, 2011 by charger69
valhary Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 without crystal visor/eyes no perfect toy so we have to wait for the blazer for the best toy of macross universe
firmpulse Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 without crystal visor/eyes no perfect toy so we have to wait for the blazer for the best toy of macross universe i'm still not sure. in certain pics they seem to be translucent. in in the new photos (just posted) the eyes appear to be painted. Graham, are the eyes translucent or painted?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Looks great, just want to know if it can be manhandled. The 1/48 VF-1 and 1/60 VF-11 are very sturdy releases, if this thing is at least as good as those 2 I might pick one up(my intention was to always wait out for the Blazer but now I might buy both...depends).
Reïvaj Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Height difference between VF-19 and VF-11B is not that bad IMO IMO this is the right difference and will look more proportionate than before –I mean YF-19/VF-11. About the eyes… I don't really care too much, they seem to be painted IMO but very nicely done for what I can see in the latest close up pictures. Could they have been better made? Most probably. But there must be a reason for them to be like this, I remember the designer mentioning some difficulties regarding the faceplate design, so I don't think it's something they haven't think about. Anyway, it's a hero's valk that seems to be the best Macross toy ever and looks great IMO, so I have to have it. I preordered it about a month ago at Anime Export for US$220, looking forward to the shipping invoice!
m0n5t3r Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Height difference between VF-19 and VF-11B is not that bad IMO yep, looks okay between the two. but i suspect the joints might be extended at the knees and ankles (for GERWALK purposes) to make it a bit taller. any pics beside the M&M or Gamlin's VF-22S?
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Eyes are painted. Graham They look good enough to me. I don't know why there's already complaints about this. If it was a visor with depth like the VF-1S then yes it should be translucent. But with two small eyes there's not that much detail to be seen behind them.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 you... you don't know why there are complainers? Here? I thought we were past that phase, aren't we all adult grown ups?? :lol: I know, I know, every toy has it's vader hands
treatment Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Height difference between VF-19 and VF-11B is not that bad IMO hmmm. sorry, but in that pic... the Kai really looks like a clown next to the 11b. better get bettah pics than that.
eugimon Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I thought we were past that phase, aren't we all adult grown ups?? :lol: I know, I know, every toy has it's vader hands I for one am going to dock it points for not transforming into a truck like other toys that are red and shiny transform into.
raptormesh Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I don't think I can afford buying this...there's a McD just round the corner in the same city block.
badboy00z Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Graham, can you ask Yamato to give the Blazer clear visor and get rid of the gap in the chest in B mode? Does it look like the wings can be swapped out easily? I want a Blazer with the long skinny wings from the Kai. Never like the fat short one on the Blazer.
treatment Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 sorry if already been posted, but ... from http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/cont_095/
kyekye Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 sorry if already been posted, but ... from http://www.yamato-toys.com/dev/cont_095/ Now I really really want YF-19 new version!!!! Please yamato!!! I'll forgive you about the surprise release of SDF-1 model kit!!!
Reïvaj Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Speaking of which.... Does anybody know why Yamato decided to choose "street clothed" Basara over his "band" outfit? Did Yamato take a poll of some sort to decide? I certainly hope Yamato won't make a limited edition version with the same exact Valkyrie but with a different Basara pilot. That would be the worst kind of milking for a $250.00 plus toy. However I do hope they add a band outfit Basara to the Soundbooster set. It can be read at Yamato's site (http://www.yamato-to.../?infolnk=index) that as they can realize that some people may not be happy with a street clothed Basara, the possibility of a stage outfit Basara version to be included in a future release is under consideration. So where else a Basara figure could be included? As you well guessed, only with the Soundbooster set. Now look at the picture and tell me whether you can see the same I do beneath the Soundbooster…

UN Spacy Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 Reivaj.....awesome eagle eye you've got there. Graham did mention this a few weeks ago...and we all just forgot it until you brought it up. I'm giving you a post up for that.
IHATEYOU Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Just got my payment request for my VF-19 from amiami. ¥22,470 or $284.72.
Kelsain Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Now look at the picture and tell me whether you can see the same I do beneath the Soundbooster… size] Umm... No? Edit: Nvm, just spotted it. Pretty poor product placement, but I guess they can say it was always there. "Today I'm gonna move this plastic display stand! Bomba!!" Edited May 18, 2011 by Kelsain
charger69 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) It's in stock at hlj.com! VF-19 will share a similar faith with SDF-1 apparently... Edited May 18, 2011 by charger69
numagus99 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Hallelujah! Can't wait to get my hands on that shiny red valk goodness.
Actar Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Just got my payment request for my VF-19 from amiami. ¥22,470 or $284.72. Already!? Oh noes... I just had to pay for something. This will not be light on my wallet...

Also, still not seeing the McDonald's in the VF-19 Kai. guess you haven't seen this pic yet then... VF-19 will share a similar faith with SDF-1 apparently... sorry, didn't get it... what fate would that be exactly? it'll sell out in a week and be re-issued a few months later?... or an unpainted kit version will come out later on? Edited May 18, 2011 by m0n5t3r

Ah. That picture. (^.^ I guess I don't see it because of the lack of white and prominence of yellow.
QuinJester Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Never has a photo of mine been used for a greater evil.
Jasonc Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Just got my payment request for my VF-19 from amiami. ¥22,470 or $284.72. Just got my "payment sent" update, 22,360 from HLJ, and luckily, I just got paid. Just got enough on this freakin' check to pay for this, car, bills, and rent for next month. Why does the first always seem to be just around the corner? In regards to Ronald McKai, that really makes me want some french fries, a cold soda, and a Big Mac.
