Model Kit

Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the "Macross" anime series, Bandai is launching a new Macross plastic model series in High Grade (HG), with the first model being the YF-19 variable fighter!

The YF-19 features a new "Shortcut Change" system, which was created after re-examining transformation, form, and movement.

The new system incorporates part replacements to simplify the transformation sequence, allowing for easy transformation between "Battroid," "Gerwalk," and "Fighter" modes.

The "Shortcut Change" system allows the figure to be sculpted in accordance with each form without being influenced by the constraints of the transformation process. By eliminating the complex structure, a movable area is provided within the body, achieving a new dimension of movable performance never seen before!

Polarized molding is used for the canopy, allowing the user to enjoy the changing colors of the canopy as it is exposed to light.

Includes effect parts to recreate the "Pinpoint Barrier Punch!"

Bit pricey but still very nice

Going into building this i was expecting it to be about on the level of the HG super robot wars bandai kits considering the price similarity, and i would say that's pretty spot on. When i saw the sticker sheet on the previews for this kit i was expecting it to all be molded in one color with the stickers for the other colors but to my surprise there is actually quite a bit of nice parts layering for the other colors. The main things i think that are going to be the deciding factors on getting this kit are the price, and the fact that the transformation has a little bit of parts for parts forming. I understand why though, having a full 3 stage true transformation would've had an unstable build. If those points don't bother you go for it, at the end of the day it's still a pretty nice HG.

It's ok, the price infers a much more complx model.

If you want a bandai-level snapability and a macross model, this is it. That said, the cost is quite high for only 8 sprues, and it's worth noting that it only has stickers. The decals cost extra, pushing this well into master-grade pricing levels with mid-tier modern HG detail and engineering. It is an attractive model, but don't expect the complexity of similarly priced gundam models.
