This toy is set for release in spring. It includes a removable cockpit capsule. Kawamori Shoji retconned the size of the VF-11(during Macross Plus/7 he made the measurements of the VF-11 very close to that of the VF-1), so it will be significantly bigger than previously thought. Just how much bigger will it be though? Will it be the size of the other Macross Plus/Zero valks?
A popular valkyrie, the VF-11B was used by Isamu Dyson in Macross Plus. Isamu was a reckless ace pilot, with an astronomically high kill ratio. He is chosen to be a test pilot for the YF-19 Excalibur, but before flying it, he flies a VF-11B chase plane to monitor Guld Goa Bowman's YF-21 during testing. The VF-11 was also used in Macross 7, where the C model was the cannon fodder mecha of the UN Spacy. The new 1/60 model is Yamato's latest attempt to make a VF-11 toy after 8 years. |

This is a more accurate VF-11 than Yamato's previous VF-11 from 2000. Though this one looks superior in many respects, I hope larger vertical stabilizers and wider canards are added before final production.

It's funny how tastes can change. Back when the first series of 1/72 M+ toys came out I liked the VF-11 the least of the three. Now I'm finding myself liking it the best of the three. Maybe it's because it doesn't have any junk hanging off of it in battroid mode like the 19 and 21. In any case, I'm very much looking forward to this bird. Weather or not it is afflicted by Yamatosis remains to be seen.

Yeah. You flaunt your unbroken yamatos. Go ahead. Mock us poor bastards with broken toys. We don't mind.
I know where you live. |

MORE IMAGES
The tail fins are bearable, could be bigger, I dig the dark color scheme, always liked it that way. However I'm waiting for VFX-2 colors(which I hope we see). Yamato already repainted the GN-U Dou figure in those colors so it is in the realm of possibility. And man this toy is expensive too! |

Keep praying... The VF-17 is a Macross 7 license, which means it's all Bandai's.
