The6ftTallAZN Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Is there a difference between the VF-19S that is in the toys section on Macross World and the one on this site ?http://store.yahoo.com/gamesfantasy/mac7tranfigb.html Quote
Chowser Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 i believe the one for sale at that site is a tawianese bootleg. it's not Bandai. look at the corner where there is a picture of some character. on Bandai's, it will be the Bandai symbol. Quote
RichterX Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 It is a bootleg version made in taiwan, Difference between original bandai is that it has red plastic shoulder, gun pod is also made of red plastic. Also the wings are not the V shaped as the original VF-19s but the extended ones as the VF-19Kai Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I wish Bandai reissued this one instead of Basara`s Tooty Fruity-19F Quote
Mechafan Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I wish Bandai reissued this one instead of Basara`s Tooty Fruity-19F I am with you on that. I have that one and did not like it much. Paid less than $20 shipped so not too mad. Here are some more pics of the bootleg with out the red shoulders Bootleg. Here are Some of the Bandai version. Note the difference in the wings as stated by RichterX Bandai VF-19S. Quote
Fort Max Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 Is this bootleg worth it for say $20 if I'm too worried about the acuracy. I.e. how is it as far as transforiming robot toys go? Fort Max Quote
Mechafan Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 (edited) $10 to $20 is not a bad price. It transforms fine and just like the Bandai one. But it feels a little cheeper, having incorrect colors, incorrect wings and head. Edited April 25, 2004 by Mechafan Quote
RichterX Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I think it would be good like for customizing or parts... Quote
DemonPlay Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 definetly bootleg... saw one in Hong Kong and they are crap, not worth the money Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I had this crazy idea for sometime now that I want to costumize it to a Legioss only from Armo-Fighter to Armo-Diver mode, I know it sounds crazy but I`m still thinking about it Quote
RichterX Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 I think they sell them for 20-25 bucks at ebay, I would go for the cheaper price, I can't tell you to go buy a bootleg, I bought a re-issue VF-19Kai from Bandai for 40 when I start collecting Macross toys and it was a big mistake to pay that much for it... My only recomendation is to buy it for some kind of customizing project... Quote
The6ftTallAZN Posted April 26, 2004 Author Posted April 26, 2004 That's what I was planning on for it... I dunno maybe a low vis VF-19... I'll think of something. Quote

I believe there is a couple of 1/65 customs in the toys section of the main site... I like the head of the VF-19S best than the Kai, just bought the VF-19Kai from Bandai because of Basara Quote
