arrow Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I would love to get a yf-25 but I have to prioritize the frames I don't have such as the 29 & 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Man Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Judging by the pics, it looks like a fan made repaint of existing super/armour parts? Edited August 23, 2014 by The Old Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 The Paladin parts are cool (like them more in Battroid than in Fighter) but I'm quite sure those are custom made and not official. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukenzero Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It's custom made, but never rule out Bsndai. Usually the model get's scratch built, and later down the line, the model/toy gets an official release. I'm sure this one has a very slim chance, considering the obscurity, and it's connection to Macross the Ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULessa Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thank you so much for sharing that, I think I bought the last one. For those wondering what the big deal was, it was priced at just $91.63 with free shipping. Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical that the seller is going to deliver, because that price is just too good to be true! If it arrives though, I'll definitely be back to thank you again, ULessa! 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Well....they already have knives...and the VF-11B had a bayonet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 And you could argue the VF-27's blade is long enough to count as a shortsword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Glad the new pics in Dengeki Hobby confirm what I had though. I'll need to recast the rear armor piece to hold the lance. I'll need some rework on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
master of macross Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 but it's prototipe or bandai tamashii production? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I haven't read Macross the Ride. Is the YF-25's lance anything like Captain Harlock's gravity sabre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Is this issue out now? I may need to get one to see how they did the left knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aye Aye Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I may be off here, but isn't Macross the Ride sponsored by Hasegawa, and wouldn't that make it essentially improbable for the pally part set to come out for the DX YF-25? I hope I am wrong on this and this actually comes to light. Well, guess Bandai also sponsors the series and Shoji provides editorial supervision....hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It might make one more person that'd need to make money off it but it wouldn't be more than that (I'd think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Man Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think they'll look good. I haven't got the 25G tornado parts yet, but Saburo took some pics of the YF-25 with the 25G super parts. https://www.flickr.com/photos/projektzerothree/14531155855/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how the 25G tornado parts would look on the YF-25. I can take some pics of the YF-25 with the G Tornado Parts once my parts arrive. I think they'll look good.

Scream Man Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 On our podcast this week I asked my buddy who live sin Japan to translate these. He says it is just an interview with a guy who made the custom armor. So not coming out anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zulu Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Quick question- did they forget to put on the right knee armor or does it only come with the left knee armor? Sorry, I never watched the shows so I wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairchild22 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 the colors are kinda an eye sore, but still pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmkjr Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Maybe it's supposed to look like a jousting knight where it armored on the defensive side. Didn't read the novels but maybe it's used for the capture the flag portion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aye Aye Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 On our podcast this week I asked my buddy who live sin Japan to translate these. He says it is just an interview with a guy who made the custom armor. So not coming out anytime soon. Yes, wife translated the entire article. Custom build, where the builder is basically taking you through step-by-step on how he created the kit. Nothing official, other than he used an existing super armor pack, which he paint matched for the YF-25. Merchandizing Merchandizing Merchandizing,The Power of The Schwartz! Oh yeah totally, Yogurt is milking this one, but I kind of think it is cool if they did an armor add-on for the YF-25 in some shape or form. Its an obscure valk to sort of begin with in the Mac:F series, so its existence, while not necessary from a toy build standpoint, is still pretty freakin' cool.

Jasonc Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Got the issue of Dengeki Hobby. That's one sweet work. Not much of a fan on this color for the armor, as I think Macross the Ride had the armor in a more shiny look, to mimic the look of armor a "Knight" would wear. This one doesn't seem to have that flare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
