IXTL Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) This probably needs its own thread. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=41848&p=1165820 From the Macross event: pictures taken off twitter: YF-29B パーツィバル(ロッド機) Another image from the Tamashii Super Dimension Chogokin Exhibition (22-23 Nov) Edited November 22, 2014 by IXTL Quote
McFly!! Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Yehehesss!!! That will round out my YF-29 collection nicely! It kinda reminds me of the low vis roy vf-1s Quote
Saburo Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Looks like Bandai will be taking more of my money. Quote
McFly!! Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Well, that 29B was unexpected. The color scheme is nice but that visor color is not terribly attractive. -b. yeah, i'd have liked it to be a bit more yellow. i wonder if it's accurate to the game though.... Looks like Bandai will be taking more of my money. they're hitting all the right notes, alright! =) hope they implement stricter quality controls as they earn more Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Oooh, that's a pretty color scheme. So what's supposed to be different about the 29B? And while I'm asking that, why don't the other 29's have letters assigned to them when they are clearly variants? It's not like Isamu or Ozma went, "I want you to design completely new monitor turret hardware to go with my new paint scheme!" Or if they did, that seems a little unreasonable Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Does this now set a record for repaints from a single mold? Edited November 22, 2014 by funkymonkeyjavajunky Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Does this now set a record for repaints with a mold? Ha ha, looking only at Frontier/Frontier-era not quite. The 29 has (4) Variants with; Alto 30th Anniversary Isamu Ozma This will be the 5th. The 25 already has (5) variants with; 25F 25G 25S RVF-25 25A But Bandai sure does love the 29, no doubt about that. -b. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 neat lists, thanks, b! and then there are all the vf-1 variants... Exactly! But I figured that wouldn't be a fair comparison, especially since the VF-1 has variants from a tv show and movie. -b. Quote
ULessa Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Think I'm going to end up getting it. Damn I love the 29s Quote
IXTL Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Very nice. I don't need another Durandal but the low vis colors with yellow/orange highlights are so tempting. Quote
Golden Arms Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) So bought. Love the color scheme Edited November 22, 2014 by Golden Arms Quote

Don't forget the YF-25 which is mostly the same except for some minor changes in the cockpit, canopy, and sensor array forward of that. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Don't forget the YF-25 which is mostly the same except for some minor changes in the cockpit, canopy, and sensor array forward of that. That's why I didn't include it, especially with the modified cockpit but I guess if I count the RVF which has a radome the yf-25 should be included too. So (6) 25's to (4) + (1) pending 29's. -b. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Yeah. Also changing the heads and the moldings that fit around them is no less significant a change. Quote
Sevket_Erhat Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I really like it but will not buy it most probably after my bittersweet experience with YF-29 30th Anniversary's both arms snapping Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Wow, that's the first I've heard of that happening. Especially for both arms to snap on the same unit. Quote
jenius Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 OMG please put a picture up of your YF-29 but photoshop your hands to be lobster claws. Quote
skullmilitia Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 OMG please put a picture up of your YF-29 but photoshop your hands to be lobster claws. Breaking 29' arms is impressive. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Yeah, add me to the surprised list re: the Anniversary 29 as well. So...is it too soon to start whining for Fighter Mode pics of the 29B? Cause, that's what I really want to see before making a mental commit to buy. -b. Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Interesting colour scheme. And yeah b, I was wondering about that too. Also, looks like gunpod has a bayonet? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 i want to see how dark the color is on the canopy Quote
chyll2 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 maybe we the canopy will be similar color with the sensors on the chest? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 maybe we the canopy will be similar color with the sensors on the chest? yeah, i'm thinking the same thing but how transparent will the color be. for ozma it was heavy blue for alto it was a light tint where it's easy to see the pilot. the vf-19 advance has a heavy tint. Quote
Falcon18 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Heavy probably. Most of the recent releases by Bandai have been heavy tints. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I can't tell if the canopy color here is meant to be a golden color or olive. Quote
xrentonx Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Nice! Just when I thought they wouldn't do another one too Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Same ol' soft head lasers...yawn. Bandai really needs to fix that. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I love it, she looks great! The colors are fantastic. And yeah looks like she has the bayonet. I guess that's fine, I kinda liked it but i wish it was unique to just Isamu. Quote
