Yamato & Bandai Macross Toys

i believe Alto pilots the new VF-29 in the Macross Frontier Movie (2nd part to be released in cinemas in Japan in Feb 11).

Very nice! I prob be getting one too!

It does look nice, it looks like they may have fixed up the issues with the 25 mould judging by the groin and Gerwalk mode.


One can only hope, They certainly improved when they made the 27, so hopefully this will be the same.

Also I like the colours, they are different.

Looks pretty awesome, though at this point I'm still holding out for Emerald squadron.

Yeah, that's a pretty common line of thought.

The VF-19 is a parts-former as well. Some people not too happy about that. Apparently the neck cover and rear legs are separate pieces...

That's pretty arguable IMO, those pieces are no more parts-forming than the intake covers normally are.
I'm glad they included them for people to use if they want to.
Without them, no one would think it any less "perfect transformation" than the original VF-19 don't you think?

I agree, I don't think it's a big issue as they are cosmetic parts not critical ones. I'm only not buying this one because I've bought enough toys lately and I don't dig Basara.

I might change my mind when I see one In the plastic... maybe.
