Frogze Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) With all these little extras revealed near the release date I really doubt a toy release can get much better than this. Hats off to Arcadia, this YF-19 will remain the ultimate rendition of this design for many years! Edited March 27, 2014 by Frogze Quote
Mommar Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 So the removable caps on the shoulders are for the fold boosters to plug in to? I suppose they could double for Frontier-like boosters too if they so chose (and had the license.) Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 EDIT -- Also, fold booster attachment parts confirmed, for use with the Yamato one! did he confirm the yamato one? Quote
Mommar Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 did he confirm the yamato one? I can't read the text but all they pictured were blurred out attachment parts. Quote
Loop Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Those attachment parts look like the correct ones to install the fold booster to me. Quote
Reïvaj Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Mr-K is suggesting that... Edited March 27, 2014 by Reïvaj Quote
CRYO Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Mr K said that extra of extra attachment parts are for that shining light up thing Quote
SaitouSad Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I don't collect things because I think they'll be worth more in the future. I collect things I like and will keep. won't it be difficult to move these, if you ever move to a new place? Quote
CoreyD Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Nah, I've done it before. With enough bubble wrap the valks are totally safe. Quote
skullmilitia Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 He said the attachments were included for the "fans of old 3rd party company" Aka Yamato. He also posted a picture of the shoulder holes, with a picture of the fast packs Isamu had in Wings of Goodbye or w/e it was called. Quote
Reïvaj Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 If this YF-19 toy feel in my hands as nice as it looks in pictures I dare say it's probably the best Macross toy release ever. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I'll be interested to see if it is above the VF-19F and VF-4G in terms of quality and feel, as those two in my opinion were the best Yamato offerings. Quote
SuperSenpai Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 The fact that they attempted to do a poseable pilot figure is impressive, and if they pull it off well that will be even more impressive. But given the size of the figures, I'm wondering if it's going to end up being more problematic than it's worth. More moving parts just means more points of failure. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 The fact that they attempted to do a poseable pilot figure is impressive, and if they pull it off well that will be even more impressive. But given the size of the figures, I'm wondering if it's going to end up being more problematic than it's worth. More moving parts just means more points of failure. Wrong twist to headless Isamu... All kidding aside, this should be a great release. At this point I'm just trying to temper my own expectations so that if this isn't the end-all-don't-beat-all I won't be disappointed. And even though I'm a Fighter mode guy, those latest Battroid pics are damn nice. -b. Quote
Reïvaj Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 For those of you guys who want to have all the new pics together: Quote
wm cheng Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 THANKS!!! I wonder if we will get waterslide decals as well or just stickers? I can only wish that all the ejection triangles, pilot and rescue arrows would be tampoed on... anyone with info about these markings? Quote
Benbot Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 This looks like it's going to win figure of the decade for me. Quote
M'Kyuun Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Sure is pretty. Hope there's a YF-21 in the works, with an equivalent end result. Edited March 27, 2014 by M'Kyuun Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 For those of you guys who want to have all the new pics together: You rock! -b. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Does anyone know if the Shapeways Arm Canon attachment uploaded by Kurisama will work on the new Arcadia YF-19??? http://www.shapeways.com/model/1386714/1-60-19-style-arm-cannon-right.html?li=search-results&materialId=62 Quote
M'Kyuun Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) No one will know until we have a new 19 in hand to check fit. Once released, if you're interested, I'd suggest contacting Kurisama, if possible, since he could make adequate tweeks to his existing design. That would have been a nice extra to include with the new 19. I'd have more use for an arm cannon than the fold booster attachments. Edited March 27, 2014 by M'Kyuun Quote
derex3592 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Sent him a message already! I was going back and forth with the idea of getting one for my 19F, so if I do, I'll do a test fit sometime on the new YF-19. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 they don't have the lights on the landing gear so isamu can't shine a light on myung... Quote
derex3592 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 good point...no working micro LED lights for the gear lights and cockpit lights and wingtip lights.. Cancelling pre-order!!! Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) good point...no working micro LED lights for the gear lights and cockpit lights and wingtip lights.. Cancelling pre-order!!! agreed. not buying this crap until i see working lights and auto intake covers. Edited March 27, 2014 by davidwhangchoi Quote
jvmacross Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I think I will leave mine on the old, obsolete YF-19....why add more insult to injury on the old bird... ..... ...but will check and see if it fits on the new and improved -19.... BTW...mine was built by Maiden Japan....free plug: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40038 Quote
Kurisama Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Sent him a message already! I was going back and forth with the idea of getting one for my 19F, so if I do, I'll do a test fit sometime on the new YF-19. I just bit the bullet and ordered one right arm version in FUD (had some in store credit I forgot about) so we'll know in a few weeks Quote
xrentonx Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 It's so good! Can't wait for this baby to come! Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 haha i look at the yen currency everyday waiting to see if the yen to usd is great the day hlj sends the pay now button Quote
mog_kupo Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Does Arcadia know how hard is it for my to not spend my YF-19-saved money? Make me pay for it already!! Quote
Mommar Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 so, any confirmation on the backpack hatch? The backpack hatch will not work. Quote
