SuperSenpai Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 LOL at the tiger always staying inside the shot!! OMG, never seen someone transform so quickly and effortlessly a VF-1. Eventough in that video it doesn't show, is MrK the infamous white glove long pinky nail dude from the Yamato VF-4G transformation videos?? It may be an office sample that they have lying around that gets plenty of action, and therefore has some of the stiffness taken out of its joints. Lord knows no Yamato v2 I've ever handled fresh out of the box has been that easy to transform. It may also be that he handles it much more forcefully than any collector would. I'd imagine that the people who make the things aren't too worried about breaking one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 He doesn't unclip the intakes to get the arms out then re-attach the intakes, he just swings the arms right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GU-11 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Am I seeing tampo'ed UN Spacy symbols on the sides of the nose? Or are those just pre-applied stickers Mr.K applied for the photo session? BTW, I see those same light boxes being sold at HLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benbot Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Damn, that's a lot of money for something you can really just make yourself for 20 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Not exactly, the price was for a full kit including the two lights and fixtures, different colors sheets and the stand to place the sheets. It's a pretty cool setup. Granted, you can achieve similar results with a cardbox, sheets and 2-3 properly placed light bulbs, not exactly for 20 bucks but wayyyyyy less than 325. It all depends how serious you are about your pictures. Edited September 13, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Not just that, but it seems more convienient and is an overall clean looking setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyD Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 You can get a soft lightbox for around $30 to $40 dollars, depending on size. Even with additional lighting, it won't add up to $325. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Heck, I could go on Amazon and get a better setup for less than half of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie addict Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 gorgeous. I know it's probably the prototype but I'm very curious about the tinted canopy, the heavy tint is similar to the VF-1J 30th, I wonder if they will keep this or if it will be clear for release.

3D-Brainx Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Looking good!I know it's because it's the prototype but, it looks a bit..., gappy. Anyways, its amazing, can't wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yes, it's still obviously the resin prototype, not a test shot, so expected to be gappy. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurdt_the_goat Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Several tweets clarify that the gaps are from handling the prototype so much. Mr K's Twitter also had someone asking "please price the YF-19 less than 40,000Y!", to which Mr K responded "it's not that much" .... i should hope so too... a lot less please! Then he says the price will be revealed in a hobby magazine on the 25th, so not much longer to wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 That's the profile shot I've been waiting for. It looks great! Chris We think so much alike! That's exactly what I was waiting for too... although its still a bit chunky in the middle of the neck, it still looks better than I would have thought from the previous photos. This is a definite must buy!!! Now where would I have room for it? Is it me or do all the new Valks (Macross Frontier) look silly when they are on their landing gears. They look great in flight, but I feel all the old school design valks look good on their landing gears as well as in flight (when I saw the side elevation of the YF-19 above on its gears, it looks "right" - unlike any of the Bandai Renewal toys).

Kyp Durron Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Mr K with the goods again! That side profile was pretty much how I thought it would be.
