abbadon Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 This looks good! Might be my first 29. Quote
mog_kupo Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 WOW It looks so much cooler in those pictures, and I'm guessing it will be a standard release so lets get ready for the PO madness Quote
spanner Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 July release: http://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201507yutd/ Woahhh! That looks Smokin hot! Definitely on the "must have" list! Quote
IXTL Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Imo, the color scheme on the Percival is tied with Ozma's as the best among the 29s. However, I don't want to deal with the pre-order grief for a valk design that I already have and is now almost four years old, so I'm giving it a miss. Edited February 20, 2015 by IXTL Quote
xrentonx Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Preorders better go up soon for this! So much Macross... Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 That looks pretty slick. Is that Isamu's bayonet, or is that game accurate? Quote
Saburo Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) @joppewo Thanks for the post. PO madness is coming... once more into the fray. Edited February 20, 2015 by Saburo Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 This thing is gorgeous---if I didn't have an Ozma, I'd be all over it. (almost tempted to sell my Ozma...) Ironically, the lighter blue wouldn't be a bad choice for a VF-0D... (better than what Arcadia went with, for sure) Quote
Mommar Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Dang, this year is going to be EXPENSIVE! Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Is it bad that I actually want to buy this one to kitbash better colored lenses and canopy onto other YF-29s? Quote
xrentonx Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Not really The orange head turret visor is one of the best color choices on this thing. Quote
chyll2 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Ironically, the lighter blue wouldn't be a bad choice for a VF-0D... (better than what Arcadia went with, for sure) haha when I saw the picture, I am expecting a comment related to the blue Arcadia was using. Bandai or at least its partner in manufacturing the toys really know their color game. Anyone can point out if the previous promo pictures for 25 or 29 shows a SATIN finish? Edited February 20, 2015 by chyll2 Quote
no3Ljm Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 This one looks nice! Love the color. Though I still wish that it has a different head unit. @ChaoticYeti Not sure if it's game accurate. I don't remember seeing the Perceval with the bayonet. @chyll2 Are you referring to the first Perceval promo pics? I browsed some photos and some shots looks glossy and some kind of semi-gloss. Would be nice if it has the same finish as Chronos. Quote
chyll2 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) im talking about all prior 25 and 29 release, the promo pics now shows a bit of satin finish which is very similar to the YF-30 and VF-19 advance. btw, the facebook feed stated that it is as tamashii exclusive. I am still confused, is it a general release or a made to order release liek isamu? Edited February 20, 2015 by chyll2 Quote
charger69 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) No bayonet on this picture but you know who can say no to an extra bayonet? Edited February 20, 2015 by charger69 Quote
chyll2 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 about the bayonet, it is all cool but it means extra parts to prevent it from pointing downwards. Quote
Mommar Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 While we're busy disliking everything about the saturation on the 0D in the other thread I'm curious why we're all okay with that extremely bright, pastel blue on this thing when the Perceval photo clearly shows a much darker blue all around. Quote
charger69 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) @Mommar: It's called positive discrimination towards Bandai with a Stockholm syndrome sauce Wait, I see a bayonet in battroid mode! Edited February 20, 2015 by charger69 Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Dang, this year is going to be EXPENSIVE! Quoted for Truth. I'm in for at least one, regular or exclusive - although obviously hoping for one more than the other. I also like the color scheme as shown in the product photos, I'm not attached to how it appears in the game by any stretch so I'm not concerned with the real or perceived accuracy of the paint. -b.

Scyla Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 *looks at the pictures in the very first post* Sadly it won't look nearly as good as on these photoshopped product shots. Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 looks nice...not going thru preorder madness for it though. if its available at release at Ny for decent price i'll grb it....otherwise....nope. Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Man, I think I'm done with the YF-29 after owning all versions of it so far. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 looks nice...not going thru preorder madness for it though. if its available at release at Ny for decent price i'll grb it....otherwise....nope. Man, I think I'm done with the YF-29 after owning all versions of it so far. same, i had like 8 of these now i'm down to 2. ozma and alto just to have but this sure is a great paint job. Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I'm probably going to cut my set of YF-29s down to one of each eventually. I had ordered doubles of the 30th and Isamu editions to possibly customize, but I just lost interest over time. And all the versions look boring compared to Ozma anyway. Quote
bravo5 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Ironically, the lighter blue wouldn't be a bad choice for a VF-0D... (better than what Arcadia went with, for sure) I think if it was that color I would have kept my pre-order Quote
spanner Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Definitely loving the colors of this one! Certainly the next best color scheme after Ozma's 29. But why would it still be classified as YF than VF if its listed as a "B" variant? I'd have assumed that the 29 would have reached the production stage and no longer be a prototype or pre-production version..? And has there been any hint at when pre-orders might open or an estimated release date? Edited February 20, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 YA-10B exists in the real world. I assume because it was enough of a change that it still counted as experimental/prototype. (Though even larger changes from the original, like the F-18E from the C, had no "YF" version) Quote
wmkjr Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hmm, 19440 yen. Will have to think about this one. Quote
Shukenzero Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Not that impressed with it. Probably will pick one up but for the first time it's a no biggie valk. Quote
chyll2 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Hmm, 19440 yen. Will have to think about this one. that is the after tax price in Japan. SRP will be 18000 yen which is 1000 yen above the previous yf-29 releases (17000 yen) Edited February 21, 2015 by chyll2 Quote
xrentonx Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 don't care. gonna buy 2 anyways I'm down for at least two. Price doesn't deter me either Quote
