logos Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 VF-4 Looky!! Those are all models and not toys right? I would seriously pic up a VF-4 (model or toy) after seeing that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Those are all models and not toys right? I would seriously pic up a VF-4 (model or toy) after seeing that! If Yamato ever makes a VF-4 whose Battroid mode looks anything like that kit, I'm in. See, I'm a Battroid guy myself, that's why a line of fighter only toys wouldn't do for me.

It's Model Graphix Magazine of course. And that VF-4 was a scratch built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miriya Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Looks like it was done by someone named Genpachi Tokaimura. I hope that whoever that is, that they work with Yamato on the PT version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 That VF-4 is amazing, usually i am not a fan of the VF-4 Battroid mode. But that is awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Why is everyone so keen on the VF-4? I always thought it was kind of an ugly design... You just keep walking....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthurius Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 isnt this a vf-11 thread??? anyways, from what graham said, i would almost be tempted to try the first version, but have the jitters... still waiting for recolor of yf-21, but the original color of the vf-11 is already nice enough to get... so hard to choose 1 - 2 expensive toy per year...

And that VF-4 was a scratch built. was it a scratch build, thought it was a conversion of the VF-4 fighter resin kit that was shown in the previous months issue. as for the YF-19, it's a Battriod conversion of a Hase kit next to a standard hase kit in the same colors.

geepogi Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 i also like the vf-4 in all modes. i think i am among the handful that especially like the battroid mode. and among the handful who hate the vf-11b gerwalk mode. imo, it looks like the head was shoved up the fighter's behind. but the battroid mode rocks!

badboy00z Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If Yamato gave us swappable tail fins that can't fold into the leg. would you guys be whining about it being not "PT" or be glad to have the option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwin3060 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Back to the VF-11B AGAIN.... I guess the best solution would be to somehow make swappable tail fins of 2 different sizes, just like how they had the ABS and POM canards for the YF-19.

I guess the best solution would be to somehow make swappable tail fins of 2 different sizes, just like how they had the ABS and POM canards for the YF-19. That's what I've hoped for. That doesn't fix the stubby nose, but at least it would look better with bigger tail fins. At the very least someone in the community could cast some bigger ones in resin. I'd buy a pair.

At the very least someone in the community could cast some bigger ones in resin. I'd buy a pair. Vostok 7 If the nose where bigger I think people would be bitching about the batroid mode "Hanging Low". If you compare the batroid and fighter line art there is no winning here. Yamato can't compete with anime magic. Edited February 11, 2009 by logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm saying the biggest thing for me is the tail fins, especially since every main design complaint about the original 1/72 was fixed (exposed shoulder bars, vacuformed pieces of crap that were sorry excuses for heat shields) except for that, and I think that the tail fins were one of the biggest complaints on these forums back then. Yes, the new tail fins are bigger than the ones on the 1/72, but they need to be WAY bigger, not just a few millimeters. Vostok 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both Fighter AND battroid the fins are bigger in the art. I wonder why they decided to make them so small? AND, I am not sure how the physics and mechanics of transformation would allow but the calf parts of the legs could be a bit meatier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logos Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Those are pretty huge tail fins. Maybe they run into a breakage problem or something. That or giant tail fins on the batroid mode looks ridiculous. They do look a bit smaller on the line art batroid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostok 7 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm not talking about the lower fins, those are fine, I'm talking about the upper fins which fold in to the legs in Battroid. I know why they are small, it's just disappointing they are so tiny. Vostok 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 the tailfins aren't too bad. theres only so much room in the calf to get a bigger tailfin in there so whatevs. its bigger than the 1/72 version so it was step in the right direction. when is this thing coming out? sorry i don't want to back track 50 pages.

danth Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 How about swappable tailfins in the sense tha you can use either and transform with either? So it's still PT, but you have options to have short fins in fighter or fins sticking out in batroid -- choose your poison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFTF1 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 My bet is that the left pinky finger on the VF-11B will be systematically brittle and explode when putting the gun pod on It's always something asanine like that with Yamato Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why Yamato not making its lower leg 'thicker', so they have more room for 'bigger' tailfins. And so as the feets, too small at the moment.
