ULessa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I am looking forward when this arrives, I want to see how much detail they put into the head design. NONE! Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Box designs revealed... Nothing special but looks nice Hmmm... kinda grows on me... Hehehe. Guess have to keep my PO then for now. YF-16 Any idea where can I get a 1/60 scaled YF-16 to display it together? There is a better version colour scheme out there. A noob question, why they didn't follow this scheme? I know the orange color is off. But when you look on the shoulder armor, this one has a orange spot whereas the DX fig has an orange stripe around it like typical Messiah shoulders. And no blue lining on the crotch armor area. Is this more the updated look after passing the prototype phase even though they still have the same designation as YF-25 Prophecy? Is there any difference or it's a different designation? And do you think the DX Prophecy will get the 'Guard-something' option parts in the future? If so, then I'm going to keep this one. Thanks in advance. Edited June 11, 2014 by no3ljm Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah the yellow and white is probably a later prototype than the orange and white. Quote
Scyla Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I assume the DX toy has the color scheme it has because it is line-art accurate and this model-kit is not. Even the box for Bandais YF-25 kit has the same color scheme than the DX toy. The paint-job is also accurate to the screen caps Master of Macross provided. Not to ditch the talented model builder but to me it seems that this image that was posted continually in this thread is more likely to be an interpretation of the actual color scheme.

CoreyD Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Or the color is just washed out from being a copy of a photo in a magazine... Quote
Mommar Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Yeah,that "Yellow" one is just a washed out photo. It's orange. Quote
Loop Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I have also already stated that A) It was a kit and B) the the photo looks like a washed out scan. I don't know why it keeps getting posted when we are talking about a Chogokin and not a kit. Here is a non washed out image of the kit: This one was posted on MW too: Can we now put this issue to rest? Quote
mechaninac Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 >snip< Can we now put this issue to rest? Come on now; this is Macrossworld, so... of course not. Quote

Rabidweezil Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah,that "Yellow" one is just a washed out photo. It's orange. I'm glad someone said this. The whole time people were calling it yellow I thought I was going color blind because it still looked orange to me. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I'm glad someone said this. The whole time people were calling it yellow I thought I was going color blind because it still looked orange to me. Well orange you glad that you were seeing it correctly? The Macross the Ride variant looks cool, it's hard for me to tell but does it have eyes, or a hint of eyes inside of the translucent green head unit? If so that's awesome. -b. Quote
Duymon Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Honestly...not digging the blue crotch in battroid. Luckily I have a 3 VF-25F crotch plates not in use and I'll just swap those onto my YF-25's. Anyone that has a super / armored 25F can do the same. Edited June 12, 2014 by Duymon Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Hah.. you know, I would never take this out of fighter to begin with.. wonder how close the blue on the crotch plate is to Michael's? It might work as a replacement for mine. Quote
YF-29 Durandal Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah,that "Yellow" one is just a washed out photo. It's orange. No it isn't and with other differanting details all over it's body and it's face is in transparant green so it's clearly a different color scheme. Quote
charger69 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 No it isn't and with other differanting details all over it's body and it's face is in transparant green so it's clearly a different color scheme. Bro, it's just an interpretation by modeler; it's the exact same color scheme... Quote

Duymon Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Lol at Vader. Looks like some people are going to whip out paint brushes and some paint to get their green visors and orange shoulder plates. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 got the invoice and just paid off my yf-25 tonight. looking forward to it Quote

no3Ljm Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Finally decided not to get it. Ignored NY's payment email deadline which is today. And lo and behold, got an email that my PO has already been cancelled. Just wish they don't cancel my other POs which is majority of them is for later this year. I haven't logged in yet on the main NY site so not sure if all my other paid POs are also been cancelled or not. Anyways, the budget alloted for the Prophecy went to my eBay YF-21 purchase. Hehehe. Edit : By the way, while I'm checking the YF-21 earlier, I was thinking it would look cool displayed together with the YF-25 Prophecy. Blue and Yellow/Orange. nice. Hopefully some members will post here soon the Prophecy besides the YF-21. Edited June 19, 2014 by no3ljm Quote

no3Ljm Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I am curious to hear if they have cancelled you POs or not. I wouldn't think they would cancel them. I'll let you know when I checked later thru the main site. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I just checked my other PO status and they're all still safe, Saburo. But I do have now a -1 on my EXP points. Hehehe. Quote
Mommar Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Despite owning six other 25's I'm pretty excited for this release. I love when we start getting the more "off-colored" Valks. Even though it's a canon scheme from the show the fact that it apes the real world YF-16 is awesome to me. I like that cross-over, and I'm even more surprised Bandai is even spitting out stuff like this. It occurs to me if Bandai has known for awhile that a new Macross television show has been in the pipeline they may have decided to keep pumping out different variations of these Valks just to keep Macross at a certain level of visibility. Whatever the reason, it is cool we've had a few other options for Valks. The 25A and YF schemes are my two absolute favorites from the show, the big four are cool but don't have that same draw some of the classic schemes had (possibly because I find the new hero valks too busy.)

charger69 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) It's out!!! Oops it was DX Hello Kitty Edited June 19, 2014 by charger69 Quote
Benbot Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Does any place have this in active stock, or am I out of luck? I've been diligently watching HLJ's YF-25 page, but knowing this community, if they have any remaining stock after preorders are filled, they will sell out in minutes. Quote
Loop Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Not sure, but I had the feeling this one would not be selling like the Ozma 29 or anything, you may just need to be on the lookout constantly checking the major web shops. Quote
3D-Brainx Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 This is supposed to go out on the 21st right? Quote
Saburo Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I just checked my other PO status and they're all still safe, Saburo. But I do have now a -1 on my EXP points. Hehehe. That's good know they are not being super harsh about it, but then again the situation will probably be different if you cancel multiple items/times. Haha.. you got -1 exp. Time to get back out there to level up. Quote
Raya1823 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Mine is always @ 0 points lol, I'm in the same boat with 3 complete orders, lol... What does one have to do?? Quote
