ArchieNov Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 I guess I'm the only one that thinks the P version has nothing over the S version in battroid mode. I like the colors, head unit and the look of the folded wings better on the S than any of the other versions in battroid. The P version's head actually looks worse to me now because I can see the Kai's eyes (and maybe mouth) underneath that green face mask. I used to think it was just some robotic looking detail underneath it which I would have preferred. Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Yeah, but you know what happens in the OVA, don't you? Quote
Old Man Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I'm REALLY liking this bird...it just might be my favorite 19 from M7. Quote
3D-Brainx Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 So I guess that's it. I comes with a Basara figure, missiles and a regular gunpod. Quote
Renato Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 So I guess that's it. I comes with a Basara figure, missiles and a regular gunpod. Just to clarify -- the missiles are internal. Quote
Benbot Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I had considered cancelling my preorder for the VF-19P, but that's not happening now! It's nearly perfect. I think I might like this even more than my VF-25 renewals! Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Just to clarify -- the missiles are internal. The VF-19P should have 2 x internal high maneuverability micro-missile launchers and not 2 x internal weapons bays with 12 x medium-range high maneuverability missiles, am I wrong? Quote

I think he's right... does anyone have any images to show what these look like? Quote

You're right. The figure has the correct missile launch openings on the leg covers but Yamato probably left the "Little Rock" missiles inside since they were already present in the earlier releases. I wouldn't be surprised if the shoulder's opened to reveal the Kai's internal speakers too. Quote

Reïvaj Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Yeah, it looks like the hinge is certainly there, but it's unclear if that's just on the prototype. Oh, that’s definitely the painted prototype. Quote
Renato Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Oh, that’s definitely the painted prototype. I know, my point was that it is unclear if the hinge is only on there because it is a prototype, or if the final product will keep it. I'm thinking that feature might remain on there just because the missile hatch is still there, too. Quote
Alex Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Technically speaking, masking out the eyes and then spraying this thing in red would be an easy and completely accurate custom. Hmmmm. Quote
Renato Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Technically speaking, masking out the eyes and then spraying this thing in red would be an easy and completely accurate custom. Well, I'm not very well versed in customization, but I have heard that the glossy finish of the VF-19 mold plus its tight tension points (e.g. the chest block locking onto the nosecone) leaves it prone to scratches and paint peeling. It might even be better to simply paint a couple of areas white on the body of the VF-19Kai, and do a couple of part swaps if you want a full red 19P. Quote
Alex Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Yeah, but if it were really sprayed with...stuuuff....then it would have scratches in the real world too. Win! Quote

Renato Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Oh, yeah. Well, never mind, then. Websclusive? Quote
Alex Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Or get someone to kick you hard in the groin and then...pollinate your valk. Too much? Quote

charger69 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 ??? It was 37% off for a couple of hours!... Quote
typhoon Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-2444&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dvf-19f%24pagemax%3D100%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 Thanks for the heads up, can't believe the difference from the first one I bought just a couple of months ago... Quote
Kelsain Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Well, that's a promising development. If it goes on sale again in the future at Amiami or HLJ, maybe I can actually snag one! Quote
jvmacross Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 no worries.......40-50% off by xmas.....same for VF-17S...plus the annual HLJ low cost shipping sale! Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 That looks bad-ass. It does. Have you paid attention to the face? I think it's very clever. Quote
jenius Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 So they've molded in aspect's of the Kai's face into the clear panel eh? It looks great, if these weren't insanely expensive I'd buy one. I would have bought a 19F at that discounted price too! Quote
Mommar Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 It does. Have you paid attention to the face? I think it's very clever. Don't remind me about the face, please. Quote
Sandman Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 What i don't understand is why they didn't just make the the front of the head removable and have the Kai's face underneath. Quote
VF5SS Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 The VF-19P doesn't have the Kai's face underneath its visor. It's some kind of collection of camera. http://macross2.net/m3/macross7/vf-19p/vf-19p-battroid.gif Quote
derex3592 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I'm gonna cave on a 19F if they are on a good xmas sale...that is one pretty bird Quote
xrentonx Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 The collection of cameras is much cooler. I love the mold on the 19P so far. I'll likely end up getting one and repainting it into something less offensive to my eyes. Quote
