BANDAI DX YF-19!!

[Kanedas Bike]

Well that makes me feel better, IXTL has always been spot on (for some reason I didn't associate him with the news update ). Thanks Noel!

How many will be defeated by the Spinning Death Wheel at NY this go around?

Going by public declarations by some members of not using NY after the Kairos debacle, not a lot hopefully.

You guys getting two? It's one of my favorites too. Second to VF-1. Now with my on-going life and purchase re-evaluation, should I get two too?

C'mon now. We've been at this for years now. Getting ecstatic with every new Valkyrie announcement. I don't find it weird now. Not every toy release Bandai has will have its own fanfare and all. And I guarantee, by tonight, or tomorrow, or even in the next couple of days, we will get bombard with pictures from their site. All we just need is a little bit of patience. They officially announced that it's going to have a PO date, right? Just so you know, MB Strike will have a few more info getting released on the 25th. Maybe by then, so does the YF-19. What's 1-2 more days to wait to see more infos? For me, hope this release is true. But they can move it back if they want to. I don't mind. More time to save.  

Well that'd normally be ok but even the MB Strike has a YouTube clip announcement- the YF-19 has got nothing. Which makes me a little suspicious/surprised...

Normally the Tamashii website would have something hinted by now...

good luck! i'm sure you'll have a whole squad

b, you getting 2? 

i may if there's an arm cannon =)

 

Cheers Dave, definitely one in fighter and one in battroid would be the ideal setup. The third would stay sealed lol I already have a Arcadia version though so beats me what I'll do with that? It does have weapons so might use them on something else if possible. It's still sealed also.

Which do you folk reckon will be better, the Bandai DX YF-19, or the Arcadia?

If it's essentially a repurposed VF-19 Advance, then it'll really just be a matter of personal preference. 

Trying to prove that one is objectively better than the other is a fool's errand. 

[Sildani]

Not better. Different. Check Jenius’s reviews on Anymoon for a breakdown of differences, but the proportions are a bit different (sleeker), there’s much more tampo printing than on Arcadia’s model, and finally for this release it seems it’ll come with oodles of missiles that ought to fit all Bandai Valkyries. 

Arcadia has the bulkier Battroid mode, its wings fold into high-speed mode, and the first wave came with its own oodle of missiles that I believe fit all Yamato/Arcadia Valkyries. Also, stickers.

Might include tax. Always is when published on mags. It should be 25000 yen still subject to retailer discount. Expecting 23-24k yen.

[seti88]

Yeah i was expecting a 30k MSRP to be honest!

@no3Ljm you need to get more than one now 

[seti88]

Btw does this look like a wing tab photoshop job ... 

[chyll2]

My concern is actually the lack of promo picture of the missiles.

[enphily]

I'm really like it!

Probably in another spread...too much info to squeeze in one post?

You too? Especially considering Bandai’s reluctance to include anything that wasn’t in the anime...

That said, I’m still getting one. I like the livery much better then the VF-19 Advanced from Frontier.

maybe separate bandai web exclusive? 

i'm happy the arm cannon made it in the main ad

 

if it does include the fold booster and missiles i expect a high shipping cost for the weight of everything.

[technoblue]

I’m into it. 

Thinking the missiles could be included in the box (and not pictured) or a separate parts add-on, and I would be okay with it either way. I do hope this means that Bandai will take a risk on doing other -19 repaints later on too.

No missiles tho, frakk lol

Am taking the wording of a full set DX release as to be including the loadouts. 

[Sildani]

Well, we thought the YF-30 Chronos and the VF-27 Lucifer kinda-Renewal would get repaints too and... nothing. 

I’d much prefer a Project Supernova paint scheme for this, but 1. there’s absolutely no guarantee it’ll actually be done, and 2.  the possible YELLOWING scares me to death.

Yeah, although we did get the VF-27 Grace/MP release. I guess I’ll be happy if Bandai gets to the Basara custom Fire Valkyrie that they teased a while back. The Project Supernova paint scheme would be an instant purchase and a nice surprise.

I think it is 2 different Isamu figures included.

[seti88]

Ah i see... helmet and helmetless....mmmm...hopefully yang is also included?

[SuperHobo]

Well, hot damn they included the arm cannon, now I need it.......

Looking at the cockpit pics, it looks like it might include three figures: Isamu with helmet, Isamu without helmet, and Yang.

Nice pics.

Bigger shoulders than  Seemingly same shoulders as the VF-19Advance, but seems Bandai skipped leg day a bit on it compared to Arcadia's.

edit:

oh, and the arms doesn't peg together in fighter-mode?

Edited April 24, 2018 by treatment

[Zx31]

Arms are held together by the shield on both the Arcadia and the DX
