"Ever wonder what Arcadia has been cooking up for their upcoming 1/60 YF-19? According to some new scans(and alluded to from Arcadia’s Mr. K not too long ago), Arcadia will be including external missles for the YF-19! Previous YF-19 toys lack them. These missles may look familiar if you’ve perused the VF-19 Excalibur Master Files book. In addition, the missles have the ability to sweep back in fighter mode for high speed mode! The YF-19 was shown like this briefly during Isamu’s last dogfight with Guld in Macross Plus. Previously the only YF-19 product able to replicate this was the 1/144 diecast model by Doyusha!"
"Just when you thought Bandai would stick just to the TV series/OVA/movie Variable Fighters comes the reveal of their upcoming DX YF-29 Durandal Isamu Custom! This version of the Durandal comes in the colors of Isamu’s YF-19 from Macross Plus. It was also shown in the recent Macross 30 game for PS3. Unlike the previous DX Durandal releases, this one comes with an all new head sculpt also reminiscent of Isamu’s YF-19.
In addition, Isamu’s DX YF-29 is a TamashiiWeb exclusive, with pre-orders starting on July 25th for 17,850 yen. Images come our way via Type-R of our sister site the 2005 boards. Read on to check them out!"
