Why no repaints of the YF-19?

[gian7675]

Just wondering, why are there no re-paints of the 19 up to now?

The SV-51 has 3 already namely Ivanov, Nora and the CF.

I'm still hoping for the VF-19 Excalibur paint job (this is the blue one right? )

How was the sale of the YF-19 anyway? Dismal? Is this the reason why there are no re-paints?

There is one coming shortly, the YF-19 25th Ann Version. I'm pretty sure there will be more.

I'm really hoping for a VF-X Ravens scheme.

That would be awesome. I wonder if Yamato decided to go ahead and make the Supernova repaints, those were very nice too.

[Jeremy007]

yeah, id drop $200 on a supernova repaint in a heartbeat.

[badboy00z]

I like to see a VF-19 Excalibur too.

[Twoducks]

I'm still waiting for an orange supernova to get a YF-19.

[thankheaven]

I have never seen these, anyone got any links to the supernova or vf-x ravens colored 19 ?

Nice. I'd be intersted in getting a second 19 as a repaint. It's really hard for me to decide what to pose my 19 in, fighter or battroid, coz they are both so damn perect! I was almost gonna keep my pre-order with the 25th Black 19, which i still believe is so sweet as, but i needed funds for the Nora. THE NORA DAMN YOU!

I'd like a 19 remoulded into Bassara.

I would go for a supernova blue.

Thanks, both the blue and the orange supernova 19 look great.

It would be nice to get a different fastpack set if they would make the VF-19A, something like the FP's for the 19S:

Also a stealth YF-19 would be nice

How about a low vis grey scheme? I would dig that.

[dizman]

If Yamato decided to do the Orange Supernova scheme then I would buy that, I hope it would come with the parachute launcher as well. Also i would buy a low vis scheme if it was like the low vis 1 for the Vf-1.

That would require 95% all new tooling, basically it's a completely different toy and would be a big investment for Yamato.

Not sure, but there may be a licensing issue regarding VF-X2 now. Perhaps Yamato didn't renew their license? I keep on trying to get the inside story, but they are a bit vague when I ask.

[David Hingtgen]

Doesn't a Sith Lord have "Force Persuasion" or something?

[Graham]

I've been pushing for a Super Nova-ish scheme for ages now. I say 'Super Nova-ish', as Yamato don't own the rights to use the Super Nova scheme.

I'm also pushing for a Low Vis YF-19.

There are indications that both may eventually happen.

Graham

[David Hingtgen]

Graham--the Super Nova schemes are clearly based on the F-15 prototype schemes (IMHO). Just have them do those. Though the Super Nova schemes have extra striping.

Or hey--how about the ACTIVE scheme? That's awesome, and well-known in Japan. (It has to be, Namco puts it in every Ace Combat game from the past couple of years)

nice, keep up the good fight for more yf-19 love. Let us know if there's anything helpfull we as a fan base can do to show our support for yf-19 repaints. And by helpfull, I mean actually helpfull... not our usual form of helpfull... which is usually less than...

[Jeremy007]

has yamato tried to acquire the rights the the supernova scheme?

[David Hingtgen]

I bet they could get the rights to Dobber's scheme pretty easily.

[jenius]

I may be in the minority here but I think it'd be cool if Yamato repeated their non-canon schemes they did with the VF-1 with other toys. The display possibilities are pretty awesome. Sadly the non-canon schemes were on 1/48 toys and everything else is 1/60 so it's not the true awesomenitude (I have a degree in English, I'm allowed to invent words) it could be.

EDIT - took out some racial humor at my own expense (kinda)

It looks like I am not the only drunk contributor to the forums tonight!

[ruskiiVFaussie]

sure of it. haha, bah, i'm looking forward to the weekend.

[miriya]

So for me it is about midnight on a Tuesday night and you are probably just getting off of work on a Wednesday evening, yet we are both on the MW forums and drinkin up!

[isa_o]

repaints, that's all we've been buying. the same product of a different color. make something new yamato. I can repaint the stuff myself as a custom!

I too would like to see new stuff but for me, I am not a modeler so I can not paint them myself and personally do appreciate the repaints. Sure too many repanits of the same mold does get old but for the YF-19 so far there is only the original and the 25th (which I do not like) so I think that they could get at least two more repaints out of this for us. Plus, for me the low-vis and/or supernova-ish scheme is more attractive to me than the OVA version.

But of course to each their own. I am happy for you that you know how to paint and customize, that is a skill that I would love to learn one day.

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

The blue/white, and red/white colors of the F-20 Tigershark prototypes are great colors to base YF-19 repaints on, not to mention close to the Project SuperNova customs posted in the magazines.

Any updates on this issue?

[Vegas]

i want a vf-x2 vf-19a version pls!

[Phren]

So they can't do the Supernova? A shame - I hope they put out something close enough for our decal/sticker resident experts to make up most of the difference.

Even though the Super Nova scheme isn't part of VF-X, we still don't know.

[Wicked Ace]

I didn't want to start a whole new thread for my VF-X license question. Hopefully Graham or some other member in-the-know can/will shed some light on this.
