These new images show the figure in both fighter and robot modes. Also shown is the extent of range of motion for the arms and legs.
This figure is from the biggest size class in the Astro Plan toyline so far, said to be similar in size to the 1/48 VF-1 Valkyrie toys by Yamato.

This time around, the fighter takes influence from not just the VF-25 Messiah from Macross Frontier, but also the Gundam Kyrios from Gundam 00.
The YF-11 is transformable into 3 modes. Ppzero of ACToys photographed the toy in all 3 modes, and showed a comparison with a 1/60 VF-1A Super Valkyrie by Yamato.

Oh and yes, that is the UN Spacy kite symbol you see molded on the plane.
Like the VF-25S Messiah from Macross Frontier, and the iconic VF-1S Roy Focker Special, this squadron leader mecha features a gray body with yellow and black trim. Plus a white symbol on the vertical stabilizers. And a gerwalk mode that probably won't be called gerwalk mode but definitely is a gerwalk mode.
Transformation is said to be very similar to the 1/55 VF-1 Valkyrie by Takatoku. Range of articulation is also similar. Also shown is a Type Yi from a smaller scale line, that looks like the VF-25G Mikhail Custom from Macross F.
No word on if these toys will make it stateside eventually, but if anything they do carry a cheap price tag.
