    If the intakes are anything like those of the DX YF-29 I have to say IMO they look like crap.

    Bigger versions of the images UN Spacy posted before: These last images belong to the actual toy, they really look better than the v.1. Looking forward to having one of these birds in my hands Source: http://blog.yahoo.com/cybergundam/articles/50022/index

    That’s happened to me as well. Unfortunately, it’s pretty much up to each one’s scale of business to have a dedicated QC guy, which is certainly not my case. I’ve heard Yamato’s progressed a lot on that matter since the time of their YF-19 first release.

    I have to say prototypes never feel solid, nor even the VF-19's did...

    I guess they just bought the licence back in the eighties and it has already paid off.

    Thanks for the update, dude! Wow, it looks so right now...

    Another example of plastic pieces spontaneously exploding after been untouched for years… While we could think it’s Yamato’s fault for having chosen the wrong kind of plastic we could also say they shouldn’t be completely blamed for a decision that shows its effects only a few years after. I only hope they’ve learnt the lesson and are currently using better quality plastic. And I also hope there is a v.3 sooner or later, the later being for the 20th anniversary of the OVA

    I agree.

    According to Graham, it will

    Avoid the YF-19 for now, go for the VF-19 you like the most first.
  12. Reïvaj
    IMO the difference is fairly obvious, but I did say it could just be an effect caused by the forced perspective of the CAD though. Also the cockpit looks flatter than in the prototype.

    If Yamato decided to make something else like the VF-4 or the VF-2SS that’d be great news, but to answer the topic question I’d say hell, yes, I do want an YF-19 v.3. The reason? Quite simple: I don’t own the v.2 for I’ve never been very fond of the toy’s design and since Yamato has been revising some of their designs over time I just decided to wait for the v.3. I believe time has proven me right: v.2 has been a problematic toy that hasn’t aged well, we now know the new standards settled by the VF-19 and Graham has told us to be patient and I trust him
  14. Reïvaj
    I agree. There’s something I’ve noticed as well: the nose cone in fighter mode seems to be longer than in previous CADs and the only grainy pic of the prototype we’ve seen before, though it’s possibly only due to the forced perspective of the drawing. It’s not that I don’t like it but it makes it look closer to a VF-171…

    I tend to transform all my toys at least once a month. As you can imagine they are not so many. As they rest on shelves in my living room, I keep looking at them all the time and the temptation is high

    So what do you think guys about the new CAD? Now we can see colours, head sculpt, general proportions... The fighter mode does look nice, doesn't it? Source: http://blog.yahoo.com/cybergundam/articles/49953/index

    But... This is the same price of the VF-19KAI!!! I wonder why you are so surprised... Source: http://www.yamato-toys.com/items/detail.php?gid=1841
  20. Reïvaj
    Yeah, it looks like this so far...
  21. Reïvaj
    What I’ve noticed is that it looks like all the breaks have happened to toys that have been left in one single mode without being transformed for years, so my theory is it’s not about bad plastic but about loneliness. They’re not faulty toys, they’re sad toys I’d give nothing but love to a V.2 YF-19

    Here you are:

    Interesting. Is the dust from back around 2008/2009 as well or is it newer?
  24. Reïvaj
    What about a VF-4?
