Kanedas Bike Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Nice! Just a few more days (hopefully) for an update on pricing, availability of how to buy and Fighter Mode pictures of the DX Chogokin VF-19. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I am excited to see pictures of the other modes. It would be great if they did a transformation video like they have done for the other releases lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanedas Bike Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 ^^Thank you! Got really excited for a moment when I saw a Fighter Mode picture but then quickly realized it was the YF-29 ( ). There are some dates on the lower right hand side of the page but I couldn't make them out... -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Thank you Joppewo! ^^Thank you!

There are some dates on the lower right hand side of the page but I couldn't make them out... -b. I did the same thing, I thought it was fighter mode too, but after looking again it was the YF-29. For anyone who can read the article, is there any information on the release? Hmmm more hardpoints, I hope it comes with missiles or I am going to have seriously look into buying 171 armor packs for missiles.

lechuck Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Amazing, it really looks like a waist joint. This is why I like Bandai, they are truly a "robot" company, when they give one these type of extras. Also ineresting to see the leg swivel just below the intakes in tandem with the forward bend articulation, would like to know how they did that.

Also ineresting to see the leg swivel just below the intakes in tandem with the forward bend articulation, would like to know how they did that. Judging by the 171 Nightmare Plus toy that twist and angle below the hip is easy to understand, the leg broke off during the first photo shoot so they just tacked it on however they wanted for later shoots.

wmkjr Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Also ineresting to see the leg swivel just below the intakes in tandem with the forward bend articulation, would like to know how they did that. Probably like a flipped version of the vf-171 upper leg parts or YF-30 type and moved the swivel point above the knee into the upper thigh. Edit: Nevermind, I just typed a different way of what you just put. Haha! Edited November 19, 2014 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaajin Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Why dont Bandai just show the fighter mode? To create hype? Or its just aint that purrtty? Edited November 19, 2014 by aaajin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renato Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Looking at the scan, the first thing I noticed is that they spelled Tamashii with THREE "I"s. Wow, that's hardcore! Watch out Arcadia, they mean business!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone who can read the article, is there any information on the release? Hmmm more hardpoints, I hope it comes with missiles or I am going to have seriously look into buying 171 armor packs for missiles. I like that they have been including hardpoints on their recent releases. They could have gotten away with not having any on this or the YF-30 and they included the hardpoint wings for the RVF-171EX. Maybe they'll do it on all future releases whenever applicable. Re-renewal VF-25's now with hardpoints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reïvaj Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Why dont Bandai just show the fighter mode? To create hype? Or its just aint that purrtty? It could be that they only have ONE painted prototype and decided to show the battroid mode for its pose-ability and because it's the one that looks best of the three modes.

Shukenzero Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm not even finding it slightly amusing that they might rerelease all the 25s in the new matte finish and with hard points. If they do that, f*** Bandai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullmilitia Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Just means a better chance at a G and S model lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah I may buy an S or a G again, but only coz their 2 expensive to have spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukenzero Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I probably will dip if they redo the 25s, but that's because I love the matte finish, which should have been implemented sooner. God and the new macross series is around the corner. I feel like by the time I die Bandai still wouldn't have finished milking the series...

wmkjr Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Darn it! Neverending! In a good way. Is that VF-171ex gonna be a bundle set and is Bandai gonna sell those stands? Kinda looks like the one used to display the YF-30 fighter mode and Arcadia type stands. Edited November 22, 2014 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
