UN Spacy Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Will Yamato include a stand similar to the YF-21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 you know, I've never seen line art of the YF-19's landing Gear. the only line art I can find is for the VF-19 fire valk. I just assume the YF-19 is the same. Darkreaper---that view is obviously exaggerated forced-perspective. The individual close-ups should be "correct" though.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Tailfins do look better here but could still be better, silhouette from the top is cool. For the price, it should come with a stand, otherwise you are paying the same price for the VF-11B as the YF-19, and the VF-11B as seen in the pics is significantly smaller.

Arthurius Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 i dont understand what all the new fuss is about... this thing looked great before, and pll complained... nothing changed, why everyone excited all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugimon Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 for the most part, the people who liked it back when, like it now, our early excitement more fully realized. The people who didn't are still pointing out what they don't like. Nothings changed other than this thread had previously been mainly populated by the later.

QuinJester Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Bizarrely, I always loved the look of the 1/72 VF-11. This one? I can't seem to get excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwin3060 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yep, but the YF-19 had VG wings as well that couldn't be realized in the toy. I'm just glad the VF-11B can have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT 1010 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Did anybody notice the U.N. Spacey kites are the wrong color? They used the standard red type instead of the low-viz gray version.

VT 1010 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 you are right : Sharp eyes hope they correct it With how quickly everyone seems to spot the little detail errors on the past figures, I was surprised nobody mentioned it earlier. The M+ VF-11B is one of the few valks that doesn't have the kite in its standard colors. To me, that kind of stands out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I mentioned this [red kite mistake] since the GNU-doi VF-11 and the first pics of the 1/60 VF-11 and ask Graham but everyone ignored me... so I think the mistake will stay...

yf19vsyf21 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 That VF-11 heatshield transformation, I had this sudden flash of "God man, Yamato's going to put it in the VF-1 and make me buy another update!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Loving it! Can't wait, i might just break my decision to refrain from 1st run... too good to hold out like the 21. (almost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're pretty safe from that as the implementation of the heat shield as is for the VF-1 works pretty well. It would probably be useful for the VF-1D since if the cockpit and canopy were done correctly, there would be no room for a heatshield to hide in the chest. The problem is they would probably have to sacrifice the landing gear in some way due to it being directly underneath the cockpit which would leave no room to push it down.

Graham Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Unless you want the tail fins to stick out in battroid mode, there is a limit to how large you can have the tail fins and still store them completely inside the legs. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham I am a fighter mode man. The fighter mode has to looks good! I would perfer have a BIGGER tail fins in the fighter mode, I don't mind them stick out a little from the lower legs.

I don't care about them sticking out. I didn't think the neck/fuselage sticking above the chestplate on the v2 1.60 VF-1 was a big deal, so I can deal with tailfins sticking out of the leg of the VF-11B.

Dobber Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I agree with you Shin. Plus, it would add some symetry since the ventral fins stick out. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin3060 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think the current compromise-- the fins sticking out by a little bit, but not enough to affect the Super packs attachment, is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is. Hell I'd even want to display mine in Super fighter mode with the fins out because it looks cool to me. The large vertical stabilizers are a key aspect in the VF-11's fighter mode, very prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promethuem5 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Honestly all the new VF-11 has to do to please me is have PT heat shield (which it does), be more posable than the old 1/72, and have no shoulder hinges/wing hinges and correct length FP Boosters... then again I haven't bought a Yamato valk since the Ivanov SV-51, but I still like them!

Small tailfins aren't line art accurate either, not that I'd care, but the VF-11 would look better with bigger tailfins.

MacrossJunkie Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I may be misremembering, but hadn't it been said or possibly just hinted that Yamato didn't renew their VF-X2 license or something to that effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't be right because they just released VFX-2 colours for their GNU-DOU line. SDK: Aftermarket or scratchbuilt fit on tail fins are a much easier fix. Like I said, if you want your personal toy, build it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
