Kanedas Bike Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Nice! Just a few more days (hopefully) for an update on pricing, availability of how to buy and Fighter Mode pictures of the DX Chogokin VF-19. -b. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I am excited to see pictures of the other modes. It would be great if they did a transformation video like they have done for the other releases lately. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 A reissue or an improved VF-1 ?! Quote
danth Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I'm not gonna lie. I'm ALWAYS down for another VF-1. Always. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 ^^Thank you! Got really excited for a moment when I saw a Fighter Mode picture but then quickly realized it was the YF-29 ( ). There are some dates on the lower right hand side of the page but I couldn't make them out... -b. Quote
Saburo Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Thank you Joppewo! ^^Thank you! Got really excited for a moment when I saw a Fighter Mode picture but then quickly realized it was the YF-29 ( ). There are some dates on the lower right hand side of the page but I couldn't make them out... -b. I did the same thing, I thought it was fighter mode too, but after looking again it was the YF-29. For anyone who can read the article, is there any information on the release? Hmmm more hardpoints, I hope it comes with missiles or I am going to have seriously look into buying 171 armor packs for missiles. Edited November 19, 2014 by Saburo Quote
lechuck Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Amazing, it really looks like a waist joint. This is why I like Bandai, they are truly a "robot" company, when they give one these type of extras. Also ineresting to see the leg swivel just below the intakes in tandem with the forward bend articulation, would like to know how they did that. Quote

Also ineresting to see the leg swivel just below the intakes in tandem with the forward bend articulation, would like to know how they did that. Judging by the 171 Nightmare Plus toy that twist and angle below the hip is easy to understand, the leg broke off during the first photo shoot so they just tacked it on however they wanted for later shoots.

wmkjr Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Also ineresting to see the leg swivel just below the intakes in tandem with the forward bend articulation, would like to know how they did that. Probably like a flipped version of the vf-171 upper leg parts or YF-30 type and moved the swivel point above the knee into the upper thigh. Edit: Nevermind, I just typed a different way of what you just put. Haha! Edited November 19, 2014 by wmkjr Quote

Hoping it will be Tamashii exclusive and not a general release. http://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/ Quote

You, me and I think most everyone else hope the same, for a Tamashii exclusive vs. general release. Fingers crossed!!!! -b. Quote
aaajin Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Why dont Bandai just show the fighter mode? To create hype? Or its just aint that purrtty? Edited November 19, 2014 by aaajin Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Don't try to understand Bandai's marketing strategy.. that way lies madness, and unexplained production shortages. Quote
chyll2 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) WRONG POST Edited November 19, 2014 by chyll2 Quote
Renato Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Looking at the scan, the first thing I noticed is that they spelled Tamashii with THREE "I"s. Wow, that's hardcore! Watch out Arcadia, they mean business!! Quote

For anyone who can read the article, is there any information on the release? Hmmm more hardpoints, I hope it comes with missiles or I am going to have seriously look into buying 171 armor packs for missiles. I like that they have been including hardpoints on their recent releases. They could have gotten away with not having any on this or the YF-30 and they included the hardpoint wings for the RVF-171EX. Maybe they'll do it on all future releases whenever applicable. Re-renewal VF-25's now with hardpoints! Quote
Reïvaj Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Why dont Bandai just show the fighter mode? To create hype? Or its just aint that purrtty? It could be that they only have ONE painted prototype and decided to show the battroid mode for its pose-ability and because it's the one that looks best of the three modes. Quote

xrentonx Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the pic! Not bad...now where's my damn fighter mode pics, Bandai? Edited November 20, 2014 by xrentonx Quote
Shukenzero Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I'm not even finding it slightly amusing that they might rerelease all the 25s in the new matte finish and with hard points. If they do that, f*** Bandai. Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Just means a better chance at a G and S model lol. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah I may buy an S or a G again, but only coz their 2 expensive to have spares. Quote
Shukenzero Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I probably will dip if they redo the 25s, but that's because I love the matte finish, which should have been implemented sooner. God and the new macross series is around the corner. I feel like by the time I die Bandai still wouldn't have finished milking the series... Quote
chyll2 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 stay on topic guys. I think tamashii nation event will start tomorrow or two days from now. Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Woot! A new YF-19... oh wait... VF-19 Advance! Sorry for being late to the news. I'm excited to see the Fighter and Gerwalk mode first. I hope this will be available mid-next year since I'm still broke. Hehehe. Quote
jenius Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Give me updates from the event!! Argh. Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) I think the show starts in 8 hours. Edited November 21, 2014 by Pedro2k6 Quote
chyll2 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I think the show starts in 8 hours. it is close to 4am in Japan now. Hopefully we can get some news in 6 to 8hrs from now. Quote
F360 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 what are the chances that this will turn out to be NON-Transformable!!?? Quote
wmkjr Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) About this much: See nothing. Exactly. Zero chance. If not, there will be a lot of unhappy folks here in the forums! Edited November 21, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
joppewo Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) From the Macross event: pictures taken off twitter: YF-29B パーツィバル（ロッド機） VF-171ナイトメアプラスEX（マルヤマ機）アーマードパーツセット Edited November 22, 2014 by joppewo Quote
wmkjr Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Darn it! Neverending! In a good way. Is that VF-171ex gonna be a bundle set and is Bandai gonna sell those stands? Kinda looks like the one used to display the YF-30 fighter mode and Arcadia type stands. Edited November 22, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
