Saburo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Question for those that have both: how does the blue on the YF-25 compare to the blue on the VF-25G? I'm wondering how the 25G tornado parts would look on the YF-25.

anime52k8 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The blue matches, but I'm not sure if there's too much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Great pics as always. The tornado parts are kinda goofy imo. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) The blue matches, but I'm not sure if there's too much of it. If the Tornado wing pieces had a bit more orange and white it would flow well with the YF-25. Great pics as always. The tornado parts are kinda goofy imo. haha Thanks! Haha... The Tornado parts are big and they take up more room than I expected. I have been calling the Tornado VF-25, Big Bird because they are large and a bit awkward.

Kanedas Bike Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Those Tornado parts looks REALLY nice on the Prophecy! Agree, but that is one colorful bird with the 25G Tornado Parts. And of course, excellent pictures Saburo. LOL @ Big Bird, I would love if that nickname stuck for all Tornado Part equipped Valkyries. -b.

Keiichi Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 And yes, there is a valk inside!! Haha, was a bit freaked out by the sight of the cardboard cover, as this is my first DX Chogokin valk and I was expecting a plastic tray covering Yamato/Arcadia style. It's gorgeous in person! Well, no harm in trying. If anything happens you'll get your money back anyway (fingers crossed) I did get a YF-29 30th Anniversary for $110 on Amazon so I'm damn happy with that (THINK its new, didn't transform to check joints) Thank you, thank you, and thank you for posting that amazing Amazon listing, ULessa! I got a shipping notice shortly after I ordered, but no tracking number. I figured the seller must have shipped unregistered SAL, but couldn't help but worry a bit, haha. Seller completely came through and again, thank you ULessa! Already got a VF-25A on the way (paid $144 shipped for it, not nearly as good as $92 shipped but I figured it was still decent) so I can recreate a little section of the hangar scene from the Macross F movie. Thank you again, ULessa!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 While we'll most likely get supers, I really wish we could have Tornado or Armored YF-25's too :0 Also, hope one day to see the Leon Version. Perhaps it'll be a web exclusive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro2k6 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Bandai really need to start adding hard point to the wings. In this time don't have it is really lazy, specially with the VF-25 series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94medition Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Duymon, is that Tornado YF-25 from the Macross 30 game? This version has much less white and orange than the one in the PSP game (I have only seen a very small picture that from someone's post). I have been trying to find pictures of the Tornado YF-25 scheme. Could you please post more pictures in different angles? And if there is a version with more white and orange, can you please post that too? Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think perfect would be Michael's cannons, wings with the same color layout as Michaels but with orange replacing the blue, and white engine pods like Alto's except with the red accents replaced by orange.

I honestly don't like the michaels. Too much Blue. The Altos with red highlghts look better for me.

MacrossJunkie Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 one of the reasons I shoot on a white background. QFT. Black backgrounds are a pain to deal with. I only continue using them because I feel it provides better contrast in my photos. I know what you mean about dust, I am constantly cleaning dust when I am shooting or I am editing it out. I am too.

I started out shooting with white, but I like the way the black turns out. Maybe I'll change things up a bit and take some shots with white or another color background. QFT.

Loop Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well the problem is I got 3x VF-25A's that I was supposed to use for a 3 mode display naked. What happened was I bought 3x Super parts sets for those so now I am like hmm. Once I got in my 2x YF-25's I started thinking, maybe I can get one more of these and make it my 3x mode naked 25 display instead lol.
