Gian Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 1/60 Destroid Monster was a Yamato product shown once (I think) at some toy show and then never heard from again, thus implying the Speaker Pod Gamma is vapourware Looks huge!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 lol, that one picture is always gonna pop up. But I freakin love it. I'm surprised that no one else got a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae_productions Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Just came in today, so far i love it it makes the fire valkyrie look cooler. the one thing that bugged me was the way you have to get the 3 pegs to come out for attaching to battroid mode, also the sound booster makes it heavier so a lot more stress on the thigh joints. but dont let that keep you from buying it because it is an awsome addition. Never been a fan of the fire valk, but after looking at that picture with the sound booster attached...wow. That is just crazy wicked! Makes me want to get one now!

Archer Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Shameless plug: For those guys wanting one, I'm trading my vf-19 away. Check out the for sale and trade section. I don't want to lowball anyone, so I have some really good options available for those interested. "Option 4" in terms of money, gets you the fig for nearly half off (it will make more sense if you check out the thread. Just letting you guys know, especially those that may not have the funds for a vf-19 at full price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurdt_the_goat Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Not to steal your sale thunder Archer, but those that do want to pay full price will get another chance in December according to Amiami I hadn't thought it'd sold well enough to warrant a second run (never saw it go out of stock on Amazon Japan) but i guess it did!

Shaorin Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 well, i've had a few days now really get the feel of the old 1/60 YF-19 ver.I, and, after all the necessary prerequisite corrections to fix it's major bugs are done, as was done on my copy by the previous owner, i have to assert that it truly isn't a bad iteration of the valk at all. yes, it is dated compared to this new standard in 19-series chassis design, no question about it, but it's really not nearly as inferior as one might think, at least to my seemingly unspoiled eye, and certainly well worth it, for the immense savings in price between it and the new modern reference. so long as those known problem areas in the arms hold out- -and i think that mine will, as i am VERY gentle in manipulating them during transformations, and they have yet to show any hint of flaws in integrity, even after over a dozen transformations- -then i think i'll have a solid winner here, that will effectively take the sting out of the likelyhood that i'll likely never be in a position, at least for the foreseeable not-too-distant future to be able to blow $300+ on a Yammie Valk. perhaps, in a few years, half a decade or more from now, perhaps, i might be able to get a VF-19F/S, or a 1/60ver.II YF-19 that MAY or MAY NOT be soon seeing the light of day, second-hand or something, for a much more reasonable price than $300 or more dollars. until then, however, i think this old 1/60v.I will fill my needs surprisingly well...

KiriK Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I just got my hands on this toy (thanks Archer!) and finished transforming it for the 1st time. I'm not much a fire valk fan, but this has got to be the BEST yamato valk ever constructed. It just feels so solid in my hands and sturdy! There's quite a bit of heft on this bad boy and it's super well constructed. I'm really amazed at the engineering that went into the toy to get it to fit seamlessly in fighter mode and still have bulk and mobility in battroid! Maybe this has all been said before, but it's definitely made me a believer of this mold and i wouldn't hesitate getting any other future releases of this mold. It's just a solid win! As much as i hate to admit, i'm on the bandwagon now to hoping the YF-19 from Mac Plus gets an update like this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 ^^ I agree, I think this has to be the best engineered toy I have probably ever come across as far as valks are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Glad you like it KiriK. I appreciated the engineering, but do the ankles feel loose (like i mentioned) to you (since you've got the one I had)? How is posing?

Does anyone know if the 2nd production run of the VF-19F Kai will have all the corrections/fixes from the upcoming VF-19S Blazer release? I think it was mentioned that the 19S has better ankle joints and reinforced gerwalk tabs. I might want a fire valk down the road but not with the flaws of the first release Edited October 29, 2011 by Valkyrie23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know there was a problem there… I should've phrased it better. I meant the thin tab behind the knee/thigh joint that is exposed when in Gerwalk mode. Here's a better pic from anymoon's site. I remember reading somewhere that this tab would be reinforced with the 19S variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALEXD Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 So whats the difference with this and the 2006 yf-19 other than paint? is it a new mold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanedaestes Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yes it is an entirely new mold from the ground up. The YF-19 and VF-19 have completely different parts though they are similar. The transformation is different, and everything is more accurate including the fat looking battroid from a slim fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanedaestes Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I don't know if it's trolling as he has asked a similar question in the VF-25 thread. I think he's just new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Possibly, but he knew enough to know that the YF-19 came out in 2006, so I'd have to assume that he knows what the YF-19 toy looks like as well. A cursory glance at pictures of the two show a world of difference. Perhaps I've been on too many Internet sites and forums that I start suspecting people of trying to troll for reactions and responses. If that was a sincere question, I apologize.

kamadoma Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Just a question. Is it possible to have the Fire Valk in Battroid mode with Sound Boosters on a Yamato Mighty Block stand? I mean, will the legs of the bot clear the surface at all given the short stand? Or is it recommended to use the regular Yamato Valkyrie stand for a mid-air pose?
