VF HI METAL Blazer Valkyrie In Hobby Dengeki
 

And the ten million dollar question is... can it hold its gunpod in fighter mode?! If so, SOLD.

Hope so! Surprised we haven't seen swappable landing gear for this.

I want to know if there are going to be fastpacks for the VF-1 line.

I've not collected any of the Macross models, but this one is really nice. Any clue on pricing?

I think it's inevitable just pray they aren't Tamashii webshop exclusives like the Sound Booster for the Fire Valkyrie.

7,000 yen so about $77+shipping for the Blazer Valkyrie

I hope they release the atmospheric fast packs for this. I never was able to get a studio half eye kit.

Thanks Shin!

Any word if they're going to do a VF-19F variant?

Oh god..I remember 10 years ago staring at jpegs of those wonderfest kits...always wanting them but never having enough to pay for them at the time. I feel all nostalgic now. Man I remember this is back when news of Toycom's Macross Plus line was a shimmer of light for us. I only wish Toycom would have been able to sell to our market. It's a shame we all got screwed over due to the licensing issues.

No problem man.

Haven't read anything yet man, wouldn't be surprised if they made it a Tamashii web exclusive though. Hey...you wouldn't happen to be from the old TMP forums would you?

I used to shop TMPanime.com, but I don't think I was ever on the forums.

I'd definitely go for a variant of the VF-19F. I actually prefer the trim color and head design over that of the VF-19S. Speaking of possible exlcusives, I hope they put out the fastpacks.

I love that they've added the missile hatches to the legs. I wonder why that wasn't include in the VF-19Kai.

I am such a fan of the 19, that I'd buy any variants they are willing to do. I'd love to get a YF-19/VF-19A and a VF-19P.

You sound very familiar man. In any case, welcome aboard!

The cool thing about the F is that "I think" the head is the same as the YF-19. If we see either or, the other is probably guaranteed(also note that in light of this terrible economy, Bandai and/or other companies are definitely going to try to recoup costs for tooling molds by doing retools and repaints); the F and S share the same body save for the head, and the 19 has already been hinted at by Tamashii months ago.

As for the missles I think Tamashii mentioned possibly adding that and landing gear to the sound booster set.

it's very VERY close. yf-19 lacks the side antennae and the skull cap isn't as pronounced (on the yf-19). With minor retooling they could easily create the head for the yf-19 from the blazer

I forgot about the VF-19P from Dynamite 7. I would definitely buy one!
