Hi, guys! I was just having a look on the old posts… It’s true that this toy looks aggressive and menacing; does anybody know which version is it?

It looks like there will be a lot of really nice details on this toy! I’d being working on a Blazer colour scheme but Vic Mancini has already made a very good job with it. So just let me share with you all a more detailed version of my previous Kai prototype.

Hi guys! I´ve just seen this TwitPic by Yamato_Toys… Do you think it could belong to what I think?

Yes, I think Graham said 2Q of 2011.

A few hours playing with Photoshop… What do you think, guys?

I agree with that, I'd prefer all the stuff in a stand.

Graham, are you authorized to share some of your pictures with us or is there any kind of secrecy involved?

Maybe something like this?

This is from Yamato's blog. I love the charisma of this toy.

IMO the fighter looks just great!

He he, well, I really hope I´m wrong, I know Yamato can work it out.

I’m very surprised to see in the last available pictures that Yamato has used filler panels to smooth out the look of the back of the legs. While not absolutely necessary they really help the toy to be more anime accurate. I don´t really like how the inner mechanism of the knees look like when bent, I think it should be more round and smooth –maybe like the 1/60 YF-19? I guess we should be prepared for some parts-swapping (intake covers as usual, filler panels for the back of the legs and a small panel near the head in fighter mode) and a transformation process that won’t be very intuitive at the beginning with seemingly every part of the toy doing something –and sometimes something completely new! Nevertheless, I really like this prototype. I think the Yamato 1/60 VF-19 Fire will rock!
