Vi-RS

This is insane and very original in its creativity. Screw Yamato or Arcadia, this is the most anime correct real life Valkyrie I have ever seen.

This was how Yamato released the Hikaru VF-1J for the first time back in the days, but I don't think that bundle sold well.

Even the color of anything that you look at from your left eye is going to be different from your right eye, just saying.

The 21 is in the same generation as the 19, apparently the 11B is the first toy built by new factory with new engineering back then right before the V2 VF-1. Yamato's website used to have a special page for that stories.

It's very likely to see the retooled YF-21, both Yamato YF-19 and YF-21 were the generation 2 toy line like the 1/48 VF-1. The VF-11B on the other hand is their generation 3 toy line, which is the first toy they released before the V2 VF-1, so they have the same built and quality, which I don't think they will retool the VF-11B. For some reasons the VF-0 from Yamato never look right to me, they kinda have the 1/48 VF-1 syndrome with huge nose and bulky legs. I believe the VF-0 should have slimmer legs like the V2 VF-1 when Arcadia comes to rework it.

The basic transformation, gimmick and sculpt won't have too much difference from the Fire Valkyrie. I don't know much about plastic molding, but I think they have to create a set of completely new mold to make the plastic in matte finish.

There is no way to overlap 2 different circumferences together without any gap.

Yeah, but these things are more like a pre-assembled model kit with the details and proportion. Back in the day, even a fixed pose model kit won't look this good.

I've never owned the VF-0, but what I can tell from the pictures is that the mold is poor. It has the same quality like the 1/48 VF-1 from their generation 2 toy line. Looking forward the next release, either VF-0 or the 21 makes my day.

It makes no sense at all if no new fold booster is available for the new YF-19. Not everyone has the old booster from the previous release, so I'll be ending up with the old fastpacks that I do not need if I have to find the old booster package just to get the fold booster. I hope Mr. K did intend to give us a surprise when he said it's a secret because the only thing that doesn't include in the new package deal now is just the fold booster.

Points taken, but I guess this is how all local toy shops work. You pay higher price locally, but you get a nice box. You take the risk on custom duties and damages by importing yourself. Go anymoon.com, it's not the small differences that make up the $300. Those are literally different toys in different categories to begin with.

Aren't you guys have local toy stores like ToysNtoys. It's been a long time since I purchased the V2 1/60 M&M from them.

Speaking of the figures, we need Isamu, Guld and Myung in standing position to make the classic weapons layout diorama. Exo?

It's on the area where it meets the chest plate, they have done it right on previous versions so I don't think they are going to miss that.

Ordered one from Hlj and one from amiami. The new isamu needs a need competitor, which is what I hope would be the next.

Hopefully the thick lip will diminish on production toy when the gap is closed up, the prototype is too loose in every point.

The canopy is fine with me, but the only thing that bothers me is the thick intake that many have mentioned. Overall it's an amazing toy.

I'm so freaking freaked out.

What's up with the wings lined up? https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/365717582440968192/photo/1

So tenji's art work is on sleeve. http://twitter.com/ARCADIA_Co_Ltd/status/370495145663139841/photo/1

So no filler pieces for the back of the thighs?

This is the best transformable YF-19 yet.

Part of the transformation process.

Bandai calls this variable Plamodel.

There is a picture of the missile mounts couple pages back.
