raptormesh Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 I was referring to the Ozma YF-29 variant. While it has some minor yellow highlights around the intakes and the skull on the spine the skull is really small (not that it stands out much anyway) and it's largely just really dark colors. Looks pretty low viz to me. Aye what Duymon said above. It's just a personal preference though. I have made a few attempts at removing the yellow strips on Gamlin's vogel but it didn't look good. Grey on most surfaces is much better and I have no skills to repaint an entire yamato sadly. Quote
Mommar Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Eh, it's a relative low viz.. You get almost the same effect plus it's semi-stylized. A fully low-viz scheme isn't interesting enough on a toy to entice most people to buy. I don't want to nitpick but I can plainly see yellow on that second pic... but I get what you're saying. Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I hope someone from bandai reads these posts and fixes whatever loose hip problems were there. Yamato would always keep in mind constructive complaints/advice. So funny that they chose this particular scheme just as yf-19 news was announced. lol I think the yf-19 will kick its butt in reviews. I'm going to get one though. Quote

close313 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Wow it looks so creamy and delicious. Though i dont really like the SMS logo on the base of the wing Quote
SaitouSad Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 dammit! I'm trying to stick to just ordering one... but that pic is looking so sexy Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Is it intentionally two-toned, bad color-matching between plastic parts, or just weird shadows? Some parts seem rather "yellow" compared to the tan. Quote
Chronocidal Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I think a lot of it is due to the lighting in the area, and various reflections. Unfortunately though, Bandai still hasn't gotten the knack of dividing construction by color to minimize the paint required. Half of the YF-29 30th version is literally molded in the opposite color it's supposed to be, so they wind up painting over half of the plastic. That's partly due to the gaudy schemes they keep using on the 29, but it's also because they molded the entire backplate as one piece. One way or another, half of the backplate is going to wind up painted. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I'm thinking it's the lighting also. The first pic makes the turret gun look more yellowish, but the 2nd, rear angled shot makes it look like it's the same as the rest of the fighter. I wish they did something with the shield connector for fighter mode. It's not stable and doesn't hold well in comparison to the renewal 25's and it really shows in that second pic. Quote
Chronocidal Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Actually, don't think that's a problem with the shield there, I think they just didn't push the turret down all the way. The shield connection is pretty terrible all around though, so I hope they did something to help it stay on. Quote

The shield connection is pretty terrible all around though, so I hope they did something to help it stay on. Ah, I think you're right. But, yeah... the shield connector is garbage on the YF-29. It wiggles around like a loose baby tooth. Quote
Frogze Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Just gave up and ordered it, the godamn baillonnette on the gunpod made me do it! Edited August 11, 2013 by Frogze Quote

Scream Man Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 It IS, and yet I'm going to have too. Why did i want to have kids again? Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm ashamed I still haven't unlocked this YF-29 in the video game. Quote

numagus99 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Someone needs to get the next gen. started on Macross fandom and collecting. Quote
warrhead Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I can't seem to find anywhere that has preorders still available... anyone know of a good site? Quote
mechaninac Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Still up at Nippon-Yasan.com It's a Tamashii web shop exclusive, so the number of places to preorder from are limited, but being an exclusive means there is plenty of time to reserve yours... no F5 frenzy required.

Scream Man Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I think this would be easier to say no too if i didnt like the 29 design so much. Quote
SaitouSad Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) oh man.. seeing this up close screenshot reminded me that they're probably gonna still milk the super parts mould... Edited August 15, 2013 by SaitouSad Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 if it weren't for the expectation of the yf 19's high price, i would prob have wanted this... but saving up for possibly 2 yf 19's takes priority. Quote

Mommar Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Because the new YF-19 is awesome. It's awesome, and I want three in that mold so I can display it in all three modes, but I honestly don't want that color scheme multiple times. I can justify several CF 11C's but Isamu's scheme doesn't work the same for me... plus I'll have a YF-29 in that color as well which enough double dipping for me. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Because the new YF-19 is awesome. Why do you want two? i want to play with one... i try to keep one unopened to collect so i try to get doubles if i want to open one. i want one to swoosh around and switch up for weapons play. looks like there's a lot of combinations with the armament given Edited August 15, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
