PetarB Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Wow I like that. Not sure about the 1/100 gundam scale though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ok, as much as an FSW fan as I am, I am not digging this unholy cross between a VF-25, SV-51, VF-27, and YF-19. It just looks really off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I think the wing nacelles and tail kinda ruin it honestly. The rest looks like a nice mix of VF-25 and 27, with a forward swept wing thrown in for.. ok, I can't think of a reason, I liked the VF-27's wing much better. But those tails look... honestly really bad. Not as bad as the extra nacelles, but bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 As I've said in the other threads on this in the toy forum and movie forum.........yuk! This is the first VF fighter mode that I have instantly hated. It really does look like a cobbled together mish-mash of VF-25/VF-27/SV-51/YF-19 and not in a good way. I find it interesting that Bandai has chosen to release this in 1/100 scale and I'm betting it will be non-transforming at that price point. I'm guessing they are testing the waters first with this kit to see if the it sells well and only then if it does will release larger variable models or toys. I wonder what happened to the propsed 1/100 scale non-transforming VF-25 model that was displayed at a trade show many months ago and then never mentioned or shown again?

tetsujin Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I don't know; I kind of like it. I think the basic design of the VF-25 lends itself rather nicely to a YF-19-style forward-swept wing, and with the way the canards are placed they shouldn't have to go through any awkward procedure for transformation. I think the relatively sleek fighter mode of the VF-25-style design lends itself really well to this kind of design, too. I love the good ol' YF-19 but the Macross Plus fighters did tend to be rather chunky... I think it's kind of reminiscent of the early "Advanced Valkyrie" designs. I think I'm not too crazy about the engine pods on the wings or the fact that the canards are forward-swept as on the SV-51 - but in general I think it's a nice direction for the VF-25.

Ghost Train Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'll reserve judgement when I see it in full color, but for now it seems like what you would get if the VF-25, VF-27, the hot MILF SV-51 had an unholy wild orgy and produced this demonic offspring. Numbering is definitely a nod to another -29 : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly4victory Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Asked the "Why" in the other thread and the how about.... After thinking about this cobbled together thing. All I can say is Robotech. There was a comic "Malcontent Uprising" or something similar where the antagonists/renegade zentradi had build mechs from parts of destroids, valks, and other bits of junk. Sadly, the YF-29 reminds me that. I hope this an early April Fools joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vifam7 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I hope this an early April Fools joke. That's what I said when the first pics of the Fire Valkyrie were shown back in 1994. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchizophrenicMC Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I don't like anything about this. It looks awful. Wings root too far back, it's got SV-51 curves, and doesn't feel very... Alto. I could see Ivanov or Brera piloting it, but Alto? I don't like this, I don't like this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Just can't get into this design at all, and the color scheme on this example is weak at best. Those boosters/thrusters on the wings really make this YF-29 look ugly. The top view of this isn't to bad I suppose. Either way I'll take my VF-4 first!!!

electric indigo Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I start to like it, but it's certainly way more into the anime realm than the previous Macross F designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skypoet Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Instead of making that awful abomination they coulda made a VF-171 instead.... I agree... On the other hand, since Bandai is still active with Macross Frontier kit, that could also mean that we can still hope for a VF-171... who knows?

miriya Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I am surprised that so many of you dont like this! I love it. It is really pretty in my opinion.

Ghost Train Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I'll totally get a :100 because I got a soft spot for radical designs that break the mold. It is definitely not a pretty or elegant design... the best way to put it is that this would be an incredible looking machine if it weren't Macross-related.

David Hingtgen Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I'm presuming they're just "idol markings" and not actually Sheryl's and Ranka's (unlike say Luca and Ozma versions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremmen Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Thanks to Cybergundam for the pics! Huh. I really dislike the line art and unpainted protos. Hate the FSW canards, dislike the fins, dislike the new long & skinny aesthetic in general. But oddly enough, in that red and white scheme I like it. It could still use some fixes, but it's awreet.

Zinjo Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) I wonder what happened to the propsed 1/100 scale non-transforming VF-25 model that was displayed at a trade show many months ago and then never mentioned or shown again? Graham I am hopeful that Bandai will try to compete with Wave in this scale, since it appears Wave is doing rather well with its 1/100 classic VF-1 fighter line. I said it before that there is a market for 1/100 scale display models/toys. They take up less room and with a good sculpt can look amazing in any collection... The advantage Bandai has is that it owns more VF designs than any other sponsor and is positioned to dominate the market if they see fit to...
