Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 So 1st news, cockpit panels will be tampo printed according to Graham. Gloss finish(which I like). Still think the F will be a sleeper hit and look absolutely gorgeous in all modes. Will Yamato use the smaller wings or longer wings? Both are shown in the VF-19 Master Files book. The longer wings are not as long as the Fire Valkyrie's. Quote
raptormesh Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks Graham, will the Nightmare be out before the this? Quote
charger69 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Expecting any VF-19F or VF-19S before September 2011 should be a bit of daydreaming Quote
Mommar Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Expecting any VF-19F or VF-19S before September 2011 should be a bit of daydreaming Why not? They've already got the majority of the fighter produce-able. Quote
numagus99 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I hope that they release the F & S at the same time. It should be doable, just a head swap & different colors. Quote
charger69 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Releasing two similar products at the same time would kill the potential?? Quote
charger69 Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 VF-19P is too cool to pass! It's the ultimate GT(Grand Tourer) of Macross figthers. You travel from planets to planets and sign your songs... what can be better than this Quote
raptormesh Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Prefer the P over the S/F actually, I just need to replace the pilot . Goes well with Gamlin's 22 for a Dynamite scene though. Quote
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) I am totally down with the P providing the speaker shoulder clips are detachable. I don't mind the integrated ones on the Kai, but find the ones on the P to ruin the effect. The ventral stabilizer fins being added back into the design really make the fighter mode "pop" with the classic Valkyrie flying towards/away profile. Not particularly interested in the VF-19S "test". Being somewhat of a completionist I would probably buy, but it is kind of a dull scheme (P looks similar but better) and is shown doing very little.

If we could remove the shoulder fins I would be all over a P version as well. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Oh, before it's forgotten. Graham, don't let them forget that the S/F/etc models have aux intakes built into the LERX. I don't see them on that P image, but they're definitely there on the others. Irked me a little that the Hi-Metal left those off. Granted.. adding that would require one more new piece for those versions, but as long as they're making molds for the new head and wings and such, I hope they can find room for new LERX pieces. As for the P.. I actually don't know if I'd ever seen one in color before, and I love it. I'd definitely pick one up, especially if the little shoulder fins are removable since I think they just break up the clean form of the plane. I love having the ventral fins back too, they just look like they belong. I still want to see the white with black stripes one from the master file most of all though, especially if they make one with the mid-sized wing. The wing isn't likely I know, but I can't imagine it'd be too hard to scratch-build one from spare model parts. Quote
Gian Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Freaking awesome if we got all F/S/P versions! (I agree on the detachable shoulder fins for the P version) It would be a perfect moment to release a VF-19a properly (1/60)! Quote
Magnus Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 The first white or grey VF-19 we get i'm pre-ordering instantly. Quote
Renato Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Oh, yeah. They should put the console display in the sticker sheet as well as tampoing it on, so that you can put it on the Fire Valk. Quote
kensei Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 This will be the one that I will be getting. I'm amused in thinking they could potentially make FAST Packs for it. Quote
Dobber Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Count me in for a P with removable Shoulder fins. Graham maybe you could suggest this. Chris Quote
m0n5t3r Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 i prefer the P variant too. I remember Graham saying "patience" or "be patient" when asked about the 19P a week (or 2) ago. that I will do... somebody should really change the thread title to include the VF-19P. Quote
Dobber Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Yeah, I remember that too, I just want Graham to suggest the removable shoulder fin idea that someone suggested. Chris Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Well, if you consider the fact that the P's shoulders should be identical to the F/S models' (unless of course, it uses the same speaker shoulders as the Fire Valk, which, in that drawing, it actually looks like it does), it makes perfect sense to make the fins removeable, both for financial reasons, and making fans happy. Make a single mold that can do any shoulders not used by the Fire Valk, and give it a missing section on the top that can house a variety of attachments. Then you make a set of blank panels for the S/F to use, and a set of fins for the P, both of which slide or snap into the shoulders, and just include a set of blanks for the P as an extra. The kicker for this is that if you make the attachment point beefy enough, the spot those fins are located is also exactly where the fast packs attach. So, there's already a perfectly good reason to add a removable panel to the shoulders, or at the very least, leave slots to add extra attachments. The removable panel is a little more complex, but it would look better. All they have to do is make a set of fast packs that attach in the same spot, and rotate upwards for battroid. Note... I really could care less about those fast packs, they're pretty darn fugly. But if the potential to integrate their function into the shoulders gets me removable fins on the P, I say bravo!

eugimon Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 The F/S types have different shoulder pauldrons from the P type. The shape is similar but the P has different detailing like the sensor/jewel that is similar to the VF-19 Kai's shoulders. Quote
Renato Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) It looks to me like the shoulders on the P are identical to the Kai's, apart from the fact that they do not open to reveal speakers. But yeah, I agree the speaker things should be removable. By the way, in Gerwalk mode those speakers are supposed to be twisted perpendicular to the shoulder, oddly enough (i.e., the speakers are facing outwards, to the side of the valk). Which means that they should be on some sort of connection joint anyway, which might as well just be a simple friction peg-and-hole deal. EDIT -- Also, I hope jvmacross doesn't mind me putting up his pics here, but they're so pretty: Edited June 4, 2011 by Renato Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 This will be the one that I will be getting. I'm amused in thinking they could potentially make FAST Packs for it. me too. This and a future redone yf-19 v2 make me excited. I have zero interest in the boosters. Instead yamato should give us vf-11c armour. (this is way higher on my wish list) Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 What's the deal with the red one??? It's the VF-19P covered in space whale splooge blood. Quote
dizman Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 It's the VF-19P covered in space whale splooge blood. Yamato better make a limited edition splooge blood VF-19P. Quote
Actar Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I'd so buy a Whale Blood variant. If one is made, I do hope fighter mode will have the appropriate bits un-blooded. Quote
s001 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Blood? Aren't they supposed to be made of energy or something? Quote
Ghost Train Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Uh... I guess I missed the memo, is this a continuation of another thread or something? Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Blood? Aren't they supposed to be made of energy or something? I really don't know, but apparently if you hit them with a reaction warhead they spew read stuff that looks like blood and can conviniently convert a VF-19P into a Fire Valk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJUPvERKOuY also: the resulting injury caused the great beast to send forth a spray of pollen that stained the Battroid red (Macross Chronicle, Issue #22). "pollen" Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 Uh... I guess I missed the memo, is this a continuation of another thread or something? Nah, to discuss the F/S in the Fire Valk thread would've derailed the Fire Valk thread, so I made this one...because the F/S Excaliburs rule. Quote
Ghost Train Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Nah, to discuss the F/S in the Fire Valk thread would've derailed the Fire Valk thread, so I made this one...because the F/S Excaliburs rule. Ahhh nevermind, I just found the G-man's comments on the other thread. Good news indeed. Quote
Renato Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 "pollen" Yeah, I keep saying to people that it's not blood. Those tiny little baby whales near the end of the episode come from somewhere. Quote
