gingaio Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hi--Was thinking about picking up a renewal version of the 1/60 YF-19, as I heard it comes with tighter joints/better QC. Is the box different as well? Did a Google search and some sites showed a different one and others showed the original. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) Hi--Was thinking about picking up a renewal version of the 1/60 YF-19, as I heard it comes with tighter joints/better QC. Is the box different as well? Did a Google search and some sites showed a different one and others showed the original. Thanks. Hey there. The renewal version does have a different box--it's the one with the YF-19 shown in a three-quarter angle with a dark blue background, with a pink energy burst. And yeah, it IS supposed to be better; my guess is that it's from the DN and BoP batch instead of repackaged originals. To be fair, though, some of the owners of the originals [second batch, bundled with fold booster and Jan Neuman fig] have reported that theirs had no problems with QC and/or loose joints. I'd opt for the the renewal version, if I were you, just to be safe. You can always get the fold booster pack separately.

gingaio Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Thanks very much for the info. Off to look for the renewal version, then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensei Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I heard that it was going to be revised completely with the VF-19 Kai improvements. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I heard that it was going to be revised completely with the VF-19 Kai improvements. Is this true? i think everyone's wishing for that. my only real complaints about the current 1/60 YF-19 are the gullet and the fit issues in fighter mode. if Yamato does make a 1/60 v.2 YF-19, i hope they go back to the ratcheted ankles... not really liking the metal rod+balljoint that the Kai is sporting. bleah...

bowman Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 A renewed version of the YF-19 is on my wishlist including the X-9. With these 2 toys it will complete my mac plus collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a first edition 1/60 and it's locked tight in fighter mode. I could flip it around it without pieces moving. Always thought it's only loose in gerwalk, and to some extent battroid mode? I'd say if you're a big fan of the YF-19 go for the renewal edition, ver 3 won't be out in a long time. Again, Yamato will need to remold most parts of the toy to get from the Kai to the YF.

Uxi Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I have that second one that came with the Fold booster and no real QC issues at all. My only nitpick is the gullet. I wouldn't rebuy a new YF-19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaorin Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Amen on the gullet! the gullet isn't all that bad, IMO. it's certainly not nearly as much a distraction, IMHO, as the overly forward cockpit and droopy-shaped nosecone module of the new Kai, which ruins it's otherwise awesome FIGHTER mode for me...

Loop Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 My 19 is a loosy goosy wobbly mess....... I have considered buying the new edition and using my loose one as a actual toy I play with lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I have all five versions, including the weathered one.. as far as I know the first one has the most flopppyness of them all in valk mode, but still love them in their respective poses =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some in the drunk valks comic: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=30854&view=findpost&p=910148 I would rather wait and see if Yamato will extend the VF-19 mold to make YF-19 v2.
