Chronocidal Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Source, image 337 YES! Weaponized subwoofers ftw! If this is packaged with the soundbooster, I just might have to get it. Heheh.. I'd probably be tempted to slap Bose or Klipsch or some other brand of audio equipment stickers on the thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Speaking of which.... Does anybody know why Yamato decided to choose "street clothed" Basara over his "band" outfit? Did Yamato take a poll of some sort to decide? I certainly hope Yamato won't make a limited edition version with the same exact Valkyrie but with a different Basara pilot. That would be the worst kind of milking for a $250.00 plus toy. However I do hope they add a band outfit Basara to the Soundbooster set. I have no clue why they chose the street clothes from the jamming birds episode(32), but it's a better color than the pink shirt he wore in another episode.

I guess it’s because that’s how Basara’s dressed up most of the time, as Yamato also designed the toy departing from the battroid mode, which is how we see this valk most of the time in the show as well. Another reason could be that Basara’s informality is very iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still there a bit, but they finally folded the side panels into place like they're supposed to be, and it does a better job of covering that up.

badboy00z Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I was just looking at the chest gap in battroid mode and I thought, there's a lot of space there, why can't they fit a sliding neck cover in there?? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0n5t3r Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) wtf? why is the Kai so much shorter than the YF-19 in b-mode? so, if we do get a v2 YF-19, it's gonna be that short? Edited May 13, 2011 by m0n5t3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I hope so; the YF-19 is way too tall IMO. It’s kind of amazing considering it’s about the same length in fighter mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The YF-19 is fine, but it looks like the Kai is much better toy, I mean, it looks like Yamato’s addressed all the problems the YF-19 had that everybody complained about.

GU-11 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I particularly like the improvements they made to the gunpod placement in fighter mode. In the YF-19, the gunpod was so high up that it can't possibly fire because the crotch piece in battroid gets in the way. I've never been a fan of M7 or the Fire Kai, but this looks to be one good-looking toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Amazing. The sticker sheet is incredible with all the customizing options they're throwing at you. They have the NUNS and Fire Bomber lettering, too, which means they expect you to do them up like the schemes in the VF-19 Master File. Even if you hate the design, you can't help but feel the love Yamato is pouring out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I believe VF-19Kai would be a better toy hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yeah, and it's gonna be even weirder if the VF-11 looks lankier than the Kai. But, what the hell. The YF-19 always looked terrible to me in Battroid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0n5t3r Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) here's the size chart from M3 makes me wonder which 1/60 Yamato valk they'll use for reference for the VF-17's height in battroid. Edited May 13, 2011 by m0n5t3r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Slimmer, sure, but I thought the VF-11 was supposed to be shorter? Hmm. Well, I don't know. With the VF-17 coming, it's real exciting to finally get all the main M7 valks together. I remember looking on the side of the 1/144 model kits and seeing all these new valks, it was amazing. Now FINALLY they are becoming a perfect transformation reality. EDIT -- Yeah, according to the pic m0n5t3r posted, it IS supposed to be smaller. EDIT 2 --By "The YF-19 always looked terrible to me in Battroid," I am actually referring to the Yamato 1/60 toy, not the actual design itself. Sorry if this caused confusion.

Reïvaj Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) The shoulder hinges look die-cast. Yes, indeed. That’s probably the unexpected die-cast Graham mentioned. And regarding toy sizes, to be line art consistent they should measure (in battroid mode): - VF-11C = 12.92m = 21.53cm - VF-11MAXL = 11.24m = 18.75cm - YF-19 = 15.48m (without cannon) = 25.80cm - VF-19KAI = 15.48m (without sensor fin) = 25.80cm - VF-22 = 15.50m = 25.80cm - VF-17 = 15.18m (top of head) = 25.30cm Thank you Macross Mecha Manual.
