ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) Well, i hope they do bring on the M7 schemes. Low-Vis 1 is a must for non-canon scheme YF-21! As for 22's... M7 schemes would own! Edited September 25, 2007 by ruskiiVFaussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I thought Max's blue was too light colored, and Miria's should have been a darker red. But, that's just me. Besides a cockpit and face change, the belly plates would need a redesign, since the belly plates are larger to accommodate internal storage of the gunpods on the VF-22. Although the differences are small, I think that the 22 just looks meaner than the 21. If Yamato does make the VFX2 Ravens VF-22S, I hope that they include a female gummie pilot figure so you can have Suzie Newtlet be the pilot (that goes for any VFX2 version valkyries).

Does Suzie ever get to pilot the -22? I haven't finished VF-X2, yet. I took a time out to play through Macross M3, because I was so stoked to get a Sega Dreamcast for $10 U.S. at a flea market. It would be nice if Yamato included the "belly plates" for the -22, like Yamato did with the extra customizer canards for the -19. Maybe Graham can step up and make this happen.

Sumdumgai Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Wicked Ace, I can't remember anymore. Argh! I want her to pilot a VF-22 anyway! That would be awesome if Yamato included alternate belly plates and an alternate face. I doubt they'd do it, but that would rock. They could do the same if they released a Ravens VF-22S, include a YF-21 face and belly plates for those who'd like a 21 in that color scheme. I love your idea Wicked Ace!

Wicked Ace Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Now that the -22 has been brought up. . . Besides the fighter canopy, battroid head, and "belly plates," are there any other (externally visible) differences between the -21 and -22? If anyone would care to post up comparison line art, it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumdumgai Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I'm out of batteries for the digital camera, and I'm not willing to risk messing up the spine of my book to scan the pages. Other than the face, the cockpit, and the belly plates, the only difference I noticed are the markings on the head cowl. Max and Miria's VF-22s have different markings, and I can't remember for Gamlin or the VFX2 Ravens version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s001 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Face it guys we not will get a yamato 1/60 VF-22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Why do you say that? The differences between the YF-21 and VF-22 aren't as great as the YF-19/VF-19A to the VF-19F/P/S/kai. In the past Yamato was going to release the 21 with fast packs with an alternate face and canopy (which they wound up not doing). It probably wouldn't cost that much extra to make new belly plates for a VF-22, regardless of whether it be as an original release VF-22, or as extras with the YF-21. Besides, the very base of the belly plates are the same shape, the difference is the area where the gunpods store. It's not like they'd have to re-engineer the valkyrie like they would with a M7 VF-19 series or VF-11kai. Yamato did also release the VF-19A Excalibur (which improved on the YF-19), and the VB-6 Koenig Monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 ... the Koenig. The Koenig was from the same game as the VF-22 (VFX2 is it?) right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Yup. One of the most unique and welcome releases as well. Too bad it had the typical Yamato froppiness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumdumgai Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 You are correct sir. The valkyries in VFX2 are: VF-1X (A cannon fodder) VF-1X (S Roy scheme with fast packs) VF-1X (J I think?) GBP VA-3M Invader VF-11B Thunderbolt Ravens Scheme VF-11B Protect Armor with BFG VF-17D Nightmare (with what looks like purple highlights or blue it's hard to tell from the poster I have that came with the game) VF-19A Excalibur Ravens scheme VF-22 Sturmvogel II in the purple-people-eater color with white highlithts, red markings on the cowl, a red canopy, red visor, and blue gunpod.

s001 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Well I'm just saying because they're taking too long for the 19A release plus the köning monster isn't one of their top seller macross toys is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 IMHO, Yamato released the Köenig because it was already made. The toy is identical to the 1/100 resin kit. They just adapted it to toy form. Back then Yamato wasn't so strict with the scale if I remember correctly. I hope they do the VF-17 as part of the VFX license. If one cannon scheme and a couple of repaints justify the YF-21 and YF-19, it may as well justify the VF-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Ace Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 they're taking too long for the 19A release This is a surprising statement considering Yamato's current as well as announced future offerings; members (and their bank accounts) have cried for mercy on several occasions.

Sumdumgai Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) If Yamato were to pump out different designs and schemes faster, supply would exceed the amount of money we have to spend. I mean we have SV-51 Nora, 25th Anniversary VF-1S and YF-19, the YF-21... And we still don't know what Graham's signature was talking about! addition: A VF-17D would be a definite buy for me.

Guest sh002 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 plus there was the red vf-17s and red vf-1s in vf-x2 plus the VF-5000b in the vf-x2 special edition version. also it was a vf-1s with gbp armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Mmm... low viz VF-22S... mmm... I would double dip that. A straight YF-21 repaint I would be far less inclined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'd love an M7 Max & Millia VF-22. I've been try to persuade Yamato to make these for years now. The current situation with both the M7 license and the VF-X2 license is somewhat unclear at the mopment. My advice hang onto those 1/72 VF-19A, don't sell them yet.

Sumdumgai Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Oh crap the situation with the VFX2 license is unclear right now? Damn, that's not good news, since that was a way to get the 17 and 22, plus the Ravens paint schemes. I hope the situation gets cleared up in a good way soon. Aaaand, that we get to see new stuff about that YF-21. Can't wait to see that sleekness we've been teased with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Surely the cost involved in getting the license would be small compared to all the canon VF-22 schemes and selling for big? .... maybe not?

Vic Mancini Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'd pick a VF-22 over the YF-21 anyday. Not me. The YF-21 just isn't the same if it isn't an opaque canopy mind-controlled valk.

Sumdumgai Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The 22 is the only valk that I prefer having a visor in battroid mode over a cyclops eye. Besides I like the belly plates better, and the internally held gunpods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
