Yes, that is supposed to be out next month. Goddamn that 1/60 VF-1S is full of win!! Swoosh, do you think this is better all around than the 1/48's? It certainly seems that way to me. -Kyp

Very nice custom paint job there! Can you post some fighter mode pics?

It's in the last picture in my post, thanks! -Kyp

You need to get off your ass and decal your 1/144 valks up! -Kyp

Yeah, it's a bunch of anime magic horseshit, at least the YF-21 was more realistic in that regard. -Kyp

Thanks man. I wanted to do Roy's, but I didn't have any flat yellow paint, so I settled for the 1S Hikaru. After I read that there won't be a 3rd volume, I figured I'd have to make the ones I wanted. -Kyp

I proudly present to you my Hikaru 1S conversion! Ain't she beautiful? Too bad I had to ruin a Roy 1S Strike to do that, but it was worth it to me! Maybe next time I'll take some yellow paint and make a Roy 1S non-Fast Pack... All together... -Kyp

That's because the YF-21's design was based on the YF-23. -Kyp

Having owned both (Sold the YF-19 for funds), I'd say they're both awesome. But as a toy, I think the 21 is better. It has the best looking fighter mode between the two my opinion. -Kyp

LMFAO!!

Bump... -Kyp

I have to say, I'm pretty surprised at how fast they're coming out with a two-seater. But if you think about it, it makes sense. They're coming out with the 1D since they have that fuselage attachment gimmick, they knew that a lot of people would want to recreate that scene where Roy attaches the 1D fuselage to his arm in battroid mode. So I can see why they'd want to get the 1D out of the way now that the Roy 1S is coming out. -Kyp

You ain't kidding, ruskiiVFaussie, what a first Valk indeed!! Congrats, bro! -Kyp

F***.... That sucks ass, I guess I better start buying all the ones that I can. I've got a Hikaru 1A non fast pack on the way that's either gonna get made into a 1S or I might take the chest piece and head off my Roy 1S Strike and make a non FP Roy1S. -Kyp

Wow, I guess no one has heard anything either then. That sucks. -Kyp

I have to say that after owning this for a couple of days, the fighter mode of the YF-21 has really grown on me. I still prefer the YF-19, but not by no where near as much as I used to. The YF-21 is now a very close second to me. -Kyp

Yep, that's how mine came too, I wonder why they tape that one leg? -Kyp

Sorry to bump this thread, but does anyone know if there's gonna be a volume 3? -Kyp

I'll reserve judgment untill I see the pics of it in fighter mode. If I think it looks like sh!t, I'll pass on it. -Kyp

Mine had tape wrapped around the bottom part of the right leg/foot and the clear tape was sticking out the back of it in fighter mode when I pulled it out of the box. So I unlocked the right belly plate and pulled the leg out enough for me to cut the tape and take it off. Then I placed the leg back and closed the belly plates back up. If you haven't transformed yours yet, you should see the tape that they wrapped around the lower right leg/foot. -Kyp

+1 That would feel sooo weird to drive a car with the steering wheel on the right side. But I'm sure you'd feel that way in the States, lol. I'm still tripping on just how big and heavy this f***er is...it's bigger than even I thought it would be. When I took the box from the Fedex guy and felt how heavy it was, I was like "Damn, this thing's gonna be big." And oh man, was I right! ^Took those real quick after typing this, lol.

Point taken. -Kyp

Understandable, but for people like me, I'd rather not pay extra for something that I don't really want. -Kyp

You know, I don't mind if the 22's belly plates have the slots for the gun pods, I think it was retarded to try and "anime magic" those gun pods to fit inside the VF-22. That was stretching it too far, even for anime, IMO. :| -Kyp
