anime52k8 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I've been standing here with one of my 25's in hand comparing it side-by-side with these new pics and I still can't see any differences in cockpit/canopy length over the original. The canopy isn't just longer, the geometry of the canopy has changed.The front windscreen is taller, the middle section is straighter, the rear support bar is more verticle and the back most section has a more prominant buldge.

Mommar Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Other then the rear canopy being more round I'm still not seeing it. Somebody put together a side-by-side and highlight all of these differences because I still can't tell. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 BTW with Super Parts and Armored Parts available already, we can have a Macross The Ride YF-25 when it's released (except the spear) that looks awesome...maybe because the blue is hidden for the most part? also if they release super parts hopefully they emulate that and also inlcude spear like that..it looks awesome. is it canon?

charger69 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 that looks awesome...maybe because the blue is hidden for the most part? also if they release super parts hopefully they emulate that and also inlcude spear like that..it looks awesome. is it canon? If you consider Macross The Ride canon then yes it is Quote
Reïvaj Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 ... but I guess this time Bandai would need to buy the licence? Quote
Bahamutzyro Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 wow. this is an awesome color combo. loving it. glad that bandai is pushing new paint schemes rather then reissuing same ones over and over. Quote
Reïvaj Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah, but new paint schemes are still the same valk over and over. Some of us are waiting for real new stuff! Come on, Bandai, where are the YF-30 news? Quote
Dobber Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I am REALLY liking this one. I can definitely see the difference in the canopies now too thanks to these new pictures. Thanks! Just not looking forward to the pre order madness again. I thought I was done. Chris Quote
CoreyD Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I am totally sold on this. Wait, I already said that! Quote
Reïvaj Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I like it. Is it the first 25 to have the N.U.N.S. marking on the side of the thighs? Quote
Mommar Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 So these larger pictures do reveal that the cockpit is different, albeit very slightly. It's literally only a few millimeters longer, just enough to eliminate a bit of crystal and provide a little more room and change the canopy shape. It's cool looking, I'm getting one. Not sure which mode it would be posed in while not being played with. I like the head but it's a striking color scheme in fighter/gerwalk. This one may be a rotational valk for me. Quote
Gakken85 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 It seems to have a lot more paint apps than the average bandai.. or are those stickers? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 i'm not waiting up all night to pre-order this (i'm trying to convince myself ) Quote
Reïvaj Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 It seems to have a lot more paint apps than the average bandai.. or are those stickers? So far no DX toy has had stickers, I don't think they're going to start now. Quote

Come on, Bandai, where are the YF-30 news? yeah but you gotta admit the vf-25 renewals are awesome and this color scheme as well as many others are bad ass. i rather see new colors such as this then alto over and over lol Quote
MILKAUTICO Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Anyone know the date when the preorder begins? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Lies! I'll see you on pre-order night k. damn! you saw right through my bluff. Quote
