As much as I love the paint scheme and look of the VF-11C I do wish they had the old style 11B rifles. The Bayonet does look much better.

As it stands now it shouldn't be too difficult to make something that works for the existing toy. Likely they'd have to release a special version with the little wing flaps on the front of the legs that fold down just like on the VF-1's. Otherwise, there are small places along the legs where the leg armor could snap in to and the backpack thrusters easily fit into the existing spot where the fast packs already plug in. Looking at the lineart it doesn't look like it would be as difficult to do on an existing VF-11.

I would totally rock a VFX-11 with the blue color scheme. While not radically different from a standard VF-11C I'd go for a Raven's scheme as well. The added stripes and different colored nose cone make for a nice contrast. I suppose if I took the time to learn to paint toys I could easily get another 11C and modify accordingly I suppose.

I own two 11C's and I love them.

They could just leave it off like they did the 22's.

Maybe, if it had decent poseable/bendable knees I'd get one to pose next to my other 1/60's. At $400 and no modeling skills this other kit is out of my price range. I'm not upset like some others, just can't get/use it.

Wow, looks good. I can't get one though, I dislike the color scheme too much. 19S or F would be a cool replacement though I prefer the look of the longer wings on the Kai and earlier VF-19 models.

It could possibly because it's still prototype but look at the back of the legs in those two semi-side shots. There are huge gaps carved into the back of the thing No doubt so the legs will fold up further when in Fighter mode so they don't hang so far down and to provide room for the larger shoulders to fit better. Not a big surprise considering how the Hi-Metal Kai and 19S have missing parts on the back but look how deep some of thsoe grooves go, halfway through the calf.

I do believe a representative from Toynami posted on these forums asking what else we would like to see and the majority voted for some Mospeada Figures.

It's possible. I don't want to break it. There's pretty much no hip articulation inwards or outwards on mine. Though, that won't help the crappy Gerwalk mode much.

The only reason it's poseable is because of that stand. The lack of movement in the hips limits it, which is why it pretty much can't be posed in Gerwalk.

I finally got my 19S yesterday. Now I know why there wasn't much effort put into Gerwalk, it's not terribly poseable and the wings tend to be a floppy mess. Actually, I regret getting this thing. It's fighter mode still has all of the issues of 1/60 Yammie, the Gerwalk actually looks worse and isn't as poseable as the 1/60, and despite not being as floppy and the chest holds together better than the 1/60 Yammie it really isn't as poseable in Battroid either. I like the use of the metal joints for portions of it but it's just not as dynamic in motion as the VF-1 was in battroid.

I really love what you did with that 11C

Thanks for the link. Either it doesn't pose well in Gerwalk or they totally phoned those poses in.

*cough* gerwalk *cough*

That's a nice looking Mr. Sterling conversion.

Wow, the faithfulness to the lineart is incredible. How the heck does that thing transform?

So the 19S is supposed to be released Saturday???

There's the relatively ubiquitous feeling I was talking about.

What did you make that strap from?

Until they released the 1/100 Regults all I ever heard of them was negativity.

Based on the votes from the board people here wanted some of the critters from Mospeada instead.

It's cool they're offering this alternative though I'm not a fan of the DYRL color scheme personally. It's ironic the near universally reviled Toynami is delivering a relatively decent product and filling a niche the other Macross manufacturers aren't willing or able to.

I haven't popped them out. Haven't even transformed it yet. I've been enjoying the look of it in fighter mode.

I just got mine today. I'm not fond of the fighter or gerwalk modes but Battroid is where it's at. It looks great posing next to my two Toynami Regults. I'm also very impressed with some of the transformation/joint ideas used on this valk. Despite being small and toy-like (it is a toy...) it feels very solid. None of my 1/60 Yammies feel as stable as this little guy. I think I'll be springing for the VF-19S now.
