  1. Really? I'm not seeing that the nose looks much longer at all. I do think the fighter mode here looks magnificent. I think the Battroid is not represented well at all though.
  2. I'm one of those boring people who hardly transforms them. Maybe every six months or so. Mostly I tend to keep each Toy in their own configuration and only play with different poses/angles/etc... I do usually keep one around I mess with more than the others. Max being my favorite I tend to keep in one pose or another so there is less chance to breakage, but maybe the CF I'll fidget with a lot more because there's less loss if that breaks. I also have a weird tendency to keep one of each type of valk in one of the three configurations. So I've got a clean VF-1 in Fighter, one in Battroid, one in Gerwalk. Then another set with Fast Packs in Fighter, one in Battroid, on in Gerwalk. Everything is usually balanced like that, so if I want to play with a fighter, I pick up the one in fighter mode. Gerwalk, grab one in Gerwalk. It's odd and I have no honest reason why I do it but it works for me. Back when I only had my VF-1 DYRL Hikky (first edition) I used to transform it more but now I have the option to not do that and I figure it saves me many broken shoulders/tabs/etc that way. The 19S/F/P will be easy for me (not my Wallet!) because I can pull the same sort of triple configuration scheme there though I do really like the longer wings in both Fighter and Gerwalk.
  3. We've already seen the actual mold, other than a few cosmetic changes, on the VF-19Kai. I think this colored CAD looks horrendous.
  4. Compared to the old wireframe CAD I think this colored one in Battroid looks horrible. The VF-19S next to it on Yamato's blog also looks horrible and we've already pretty much seen how good the actual sculpt is on the VF-19 Kai. Why bother releasing these images, they don't do the VF-19 any favors so I'm assuming (hoping) the 17 also isn't represented well here.
  5. If it's around late October/early November then HAPPY FREAKIN' BIRTHDAY TO ME. V.2 VF-25 and VF-19S at the same time!
  6. I'd take what's left of a box.
  7. I like the fact you made the wings of a 21 fold upwards in Battroid mode instead of down.
  8. The 19 is in fighter collection 1, not 2, isn't it? It looks like I might be thinking of the wrong fighter collection.
  9. While it's an unfortunate reality we have to be much more careful with our money that doesn't necessarily discount what Eugimon has said either. I think the other improvements to a YF-19 would be a HUGE deal. It's pretty much my least favorite of the valks I own because it's so unstable/floppy in Gerwalk/Battroid.
  10. Nice! That's one day faster then I've been able to get it from Japan to Albuquerque.
  11. Thanks for the pic. Unfortunately due to the angle it makes me wonder why he even bothered with the packs.
  12. Interesting. Obviously Yamato had to come up with something since Kawamori asked for it after the fact. I was hoping there would be a way to use these to rig up some extra fast packs from one of my VF-11C's like some of the pics in the Master File but it looks like the attachments are a little too far back. Oh well.
  13. That's interesting. I'd like to see this mechanic.
  14. So does the sound booster attach in a different fashion between Fighter and Battroid or is my reading comprehension getting worse and worse? Also, how does it attach (if you're allowed to say.)
  15. Wow... thorough. How flexible are the two portions of the feet? Maybe they decided the same poses could be made by adjusting the two foot pads rather then offering extra motion in the ankle?
  16. Could you post some pics showing just how far the ankles tilt up and down versus the other Valks?
  17. it's still good to know they're taking it so seriously even if the problem isn't wide-spread. That will make me more confident in my three purchases (S/F/P.)
  18. I want to see what one of these looks like in Gerwalk. I'm not sure it's ever been shown. I can't find a place in the Animation where there was a Super VF-17 in Gerwalk at all and certainly none of the line art online has it.
  19. That's a good reason to buy the S variant as well. Yamato should officially discuss the chances of fast pack additions. People one the fence or who have flat out decided they dislike the S variant color/head may rethink if they can get a true S variant with the packs. I know I'm now going to get both based on what you've said. I could see the shoulders being a slight pain. More than anything they look pretty dumb in Battroid configuration. The leg fast packs, after looking at the line art, are impossible to implement save for having an additional clip-on part for Gerwalk/Battroid mode. You can clearly see in fighter mode that the wings attach right about the middle of the "bell bottoms" and the fast pack only covers the front (bottom) half of the calf. Suddenly in battroid it's covering the entire calf but you can still see on the back of the fast pack where it's drawn to have a flat edge like where the wings would fit over it. The only possible way to do that would be an extra part that snaps on/off. I still think it would be cool to have one though because it looks pretty awesome in fighter mode.
