Perfect Transformation in my knowledge means the transformation is perfect, it does not require parts forming.

So yeah, I agree with you.

Thanks for the sanity check.

You need to swap the head part, so no Perfect Transformation in this case

Thank you!

[Bobby]

I didn't like the idea of switching out heads on mine so I created tiny little visors on the parts for the fighter and put the giant heads away!

Got my pre-order in for the YF-19.  I'm excited!  This thing looks like so much fun!

Question though....what are the small pieces I've circled supposed to be?  I have no idea!

In the same interview with Mr. Tsutomu Terashima of the HMR VF-19 Kai, here is the part where he discusses the Tiny Sessions YF-19 & VF-19 Kai (please use browser translation):

Seems little stands for Myung minifig. In some pictures you can see the clear one being used on the hand of the 19. The grey one seem to have the same shape for the feet.

[onnasake]

The stand for Myung is the transparent piece between the two I circled.  It can be plugged into the flight stand or the hand.  I don't know what the smaller one that says "Myu" is for.  And the grey piece doesn't seem to be part of the hands.  Maybe it plugs into the back or something?

 

Could the grey piece be an adapter so she can stand in the cockpit?

I managed to get the pre-order for both the 19s on AmiAmi. They're still cool, right? Lol

Yes, the gray piece is the cockpit adapter. The transaprent piece with My on the bottom is to adapter for her to stand in either of the valk's hands in battroid/gerwalk, or it can be plugged into one of the ports in the main display base so she can stand on the display stand. I have all of the tiny session figures and they all have these pieces.

I wonder if they will release the VF-11MaxL this year. And hopefully a VF-17T.

Fingers crossed.

[jenius]

Have they teased those in Tiny Mission? I would love to see them but I don't remember them being teased.

That would be cool.  30th Anniversary and all.  Fingers crossed for DX, HMR, and HG 1/100 as well.

As far as I know, these are the ones that have been teased at Bandai events but are not yet available for PO:

Queadluun-Rau Klan
YF-29 Durandal Alto
VF-25S Ozma
YF-29 Max
VF-31AX Hayate

You can see all of them here: https://hobby.dengeki.com/event/1741260/

[jenius]

There has also been at least one VF-1 teased. Hope we see more, this line is adorable.

Yes! I forgot about that one. A VF-1S Hikaru (Strike?) with Minmay, I think. There is like one image of it from some random Bandai event several years ago, maybe standing next to the first VF-25 valks announced as part of the line? Hopefully someone here has the image. And agreed, would love to see VF-1 variants in this adorable line. Every single standard one from SDFM and DYRL, at the very least. And enemy mecha! The fact that Klan's Q-Rau exists as a prototype is encouraging.

Found it! Tamashii Nations event in 2021. VF-1S Hikaru, no armor parts, but I can see a tiny Minmay in the upper left corner.

@Anasazi37 Nice pic that shows Gerwalk.

Here's the pic that was also posted on page 2.

I desperately want a VF-1 to go with my SD SDF1 as the included VFs aren't great.

Mich appreciated. I should have checked the early pages of the thread.... 

[nightmareB4macross]

Hopefully when these are released, the number on the nose will be eliminated and the forward triangle is less sharp. This just looks ugly.

It looks like a lot of work went into that hangar for it to just be for display.  With the food around it, it's almost like a converted toaster oven.  Either way I kind of want one.

It's the "Nyan-Nyan" Chinese restaurant delivery box—a nice visual pun for the ad, as both Minmei and Ranka worked there. 😉

Maybe these delivery boxes are just in Japan... anyhow, a real world example:

(the 2 and 3 level ones are "sold out" at this particular manufacturer)

How much did this cost you?

[nightmareB4macross]

Less than 3200Y plus shipping.

Go to amiami.com.

[Anasazi37]

Looking forward to the YF-19 release in August!

[sh9000]

Looks good @nightmareB4macross.  I think I'll still be buying every Valkyrie release from this line.

[Convectuoso]

I got mine a few days ago from Amazon JP

I really like this line, and it seems to be getting better with each release

[WhatBoutMyStar]

Like the limited edition metallic 25F with both Sheryl and Ranka, Bandai should put out an all metallic version of the fire valk w/ gold trim and include an extra Sivil figure.

This will be out on Aug 10 as well, same day as HMR VF-19 Kai.

[onnasake]

Here's some in-hand pics of YF-19 from twitter.  Looks pretty cool!  My only gripe is that the stickers stand out a lot...would have preferred tampos, but I guess it wasn't in the budget.  Mine won't get here for another week or two.  I guess I chose the sloooooow-ass shipping from amazon japan.  Too bad.
