    Yes so nice to have all this available product now but I remember that time you're thinking of. That time right after Frontier came out and bumped Macross popularity back to such a high level and raised the waterline for all Macross series. Who expected things like the VF-4 or 1/3000 SDF-1's to get releases?

    So im not the worlds smartest man especially with scale (lol) but is that upcoming HG YF-19 about the size of the Revoltech YF-19 or the Yammie GN-U DOU YF-19?

    Speaking of the 19,recently took it down to dust and probably transform and pack away for the time being as a neighboring Quake rattled my shelf yesterday.

    I’m not sure how big those other figures are, but I think the new HG 19 will be about 60% the size of your DX (assumnig your DX is 1/60 scale).

    Got shipping notice on my VF-0S, but thanks to work I won't be able to pick it up until next weekend. :cry 

    Looking forward to seeing pictures in the thread until then!

    I'm a little confused about what I'm seeing, how much partsforming is involved with the HG YF-19.

    Apparently a LOT. In terms of amount of body parts, there’s enough there for roughly two separate units.
    The Battroid, Gerwalk, and Fighter torso/fuselage are three separate parts. I think the Battroid and Gerwalk lower bodies are separate as well. The only shared element is the legs, I believe.

    B-club did a few Macross II kits, although this is the first painted sample I've ever seen of the Metal siren

    I had the VF-17 for a while but sold it off because it didn't look great from any angle except the front. Wide from the front and a limp noodle from the side. IMO the most "cartoon magic" Macross transformation alongside the YF-21.

    I believe the Yammy VF-17 and DX VF-171 were designed by the same firm, I love how the 171 looks but haven't bothered to get it because of all the major design/QC issues.

    I believe that's called "Baller scale".

    It's the "I'm gonna pull an Ocean's 11" scale.

    Meanwhile...I'm gonna be tinkering around with this:
