Here you go... I think it's definitely not better than the original release, but it appears that the crotch lock is a bit tighter (maybe it''s just a matter of time before it gets loose). Some details like the intakes are painted in metallic dark gray which definitely look better than the original, and the hands are also in the same color. I'm actually thinking of selling the Super Parts since I'm not so fond of the new color "based on the movie CG" (as it's stated on the box)....

I second the question... any changes in the VF-25 besides the Tornado pack? Was the release date for the next movie revealed? Thanks to those that have posted the reviews btw

Another look at the movie's "Tornado Pack" for the VF-25:

And I just realised that the Tornado Pack DX VF-25F is also there

A new pic of the DX VF-27:

The new VF-25F's stand has the SMS letters in yellow

If I remember correctly it's no. 11, released on the 10th of this month.

Overdrive's latest Web Mail states the following: We have started taking orders for the VF-11C with Super Packs and the the two VF-22 versions(Max And Millia). As the first run of all three items will be limited to 1000 pieces each there is a posibility that all three may sell out fairly early. I think the same was said for Gamlin's VF-22S... and I haven't seen them being sold out in many places... or has there been a new production run?

I thought we were saving these kind of threads for April 1st

yup, took apart everything so that the masking worked without a problem. First I had to use primer to cover the red stripes, then apply the blue color.

NICE!! the head is from the CM's Macross line?

Thanks! Here are the rest of the pics... first, this is where the idea came from (paint used : intermediate blue US Navy) in these pics you can see the actual color, which is a bit darker than what appeared in the pic from my last post

Here's my first-ever yamato custom... more pics to follow...

I went to gamu-toys website where thesse pics came from and I found this: スタッフの方に色々説明していだきました。 ダイキャストパーツを多用し各形態で安定性を確保。　差し替えパーツは最小限に抑えており 主に頭部のレーザーやトサカ部などの細かい部分のみの差し替えで、各形態へ変形可能。 変形には支障の無い、ディティールアップパーツなどもアリ（脚裏なので使用しなくても気になりません） Google translate: Idakimashita color we explain how the staff. Stability Daikyasutopatsu extensive use of each form. Replacement parts are kept to a minimum The only replacement parts such as fine head of the main laser and Tosaka, can transform into each area. Deformation is not in trouble, as well as Ditiruappupatsu Ali (not to worry because even without using the back leg) And: 目の前でバトロイドからガウォークへの一連の変形を見ましたが 頭部の3パーツのみの差し替えで（トサカ、左右レーザー）、スムーズに変形が行われていました。 Google translate: Saw the transformation from a series of gadget to walk in front of Battroid Replacement of only three parts of the head (Tosaka, left and right laser), the transformation was done smoothly. - THREE parts only from Battroid to Gerwalk ... what's a "tosaka" (トサカ)? the fin? Finally: ファイター形態。 VF100'sでは居るのだか居ないのだか、よくわからなかったパイロットも、しっかりと再現されているようです。 VF100'sの出来がアレだったので、正直このシリーズにも期待していませんでしたが 今回の展示品の中で一番弄るのが楽しみになったアイテムです。 Google translate: Fighter area. VF100's what it is absent or of staying in, the pilot did not know well, and have been reproduced as a solid. Are the VF100's since I was made of, but did not expect this series Nao Masa The item was most looking forward to show in this exhibit.

True, I just realised that the fin is not supposed to be visible in fighter mode I always thought it showed just as the VF-19S or VF-19F (or as in the 1/65 one ). Besides the floppiness, I also hope Bandai lowers the quantity of unnecesary additional and replacement parts (i.e. the gunpod in the VF-25). Now we have to wait for a pic of the VF-19k with all the parts that it will include. Actually, I just noticed that in the last pic of the green / gray prototype you can see some parts in the background...

Interesting, I guess the dark gray parts are the ones made out of metal... and it looks like it won't need a lot of parts-forming

Definitely getting this one!!

+4

I hope you can convince them about this... especially since Bandai shows no sign of releasing the VF-171 in ANY of the lines. Any idea if Yamato can / will also release the YF-19 and VF-11 VF-X2 variants??
