optimator88 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I hadn't seen much discussion on this kit. I just ordered mine online from Family Mart, and was wondering if anyone had been able to pick one up early. It's a little pricy but will come with a ticket to the new movie. This is my first frontier model, and the pics I've seen look great. Especially the new head. That was the one area I didn't really care for on the VF-25, too bug like for me. The YF-25's head almost reminds me of the ship out of fantasy zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchizophrenicMC Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I want it for the eye raping colorscheme, alone... Alas, I am penniless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain america Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I don't know if it's the paint scheme or the shape of the head, but it seems to "fill-out" the normally anorexic VF-25 rather nicely. I'll probably pick one up at some point if they make a normal production version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably pick one up at some point if they make a normal production version. Consider that it's just a VF-25 mold with a new head and cockpit layout...I think it's just the camera angle.

captain america Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Consider that it's just a VF-25 mold with a new head and cockpit layout...I think it's just the camera angle. Indeed. I thought that this YF was supposed to be somewhat 'exclusive' though, but if it's not, so much the better. That having been said, the color choice and scheme can really make or break the look of a model. While all the VF-25s are essentially the same airframe with a few different details, the color scheme from Luca's plane seems to accentuate the battroid's shape the best, whereas ironically, the Ozma grey/white seems to flatter it the least.

catcha Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hey guys, you may want to wait till after the premiere of the MF movie before you get this as now they're offering it in a package: movie ticket + the model... if i'm not wrong. I hope to get the model alone if they're going to sell it separately after the release of the movie. That way it should be a lot cheaper without having to pay for the movie ticket as well...

shinagami Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) i second u schizophrenicMC. i've checked with overdrive-inc.com, they quoted USD91 for a kit + the movie ticket(which is useless for me i think). will bandai rerelease the kit separately after the release of the movie? or is this kit really a limited edition?

azrael Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 will bandai rerelease the kit separately after the release of the movie? or is this kit really a limited edition? So far, it's a limited release. Beyond that....dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Now I know what that reminds me of.. It's basically a rough color variation on the YF-16 demonstrator model scheme, with completely different tails. Hehe.. and I just got a 1/72 YF-16 kit from a friend. I think it's time for a mashup...this one could really benefit from a brighter red, and matching tails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 There's already a custom in Hobby Japan 10. The Test 3 version of the YF-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
