1/60 Yamato YF-21 Omega One
Don't know if this can be posted here since it isn't really a figure, but more like a mecha toy than anything else. But since there's an Exia Gundam in the banner, why not? Out of all the YF-21 toys released in the past, this one is by far the best.
There are just so many things Yamato did right with this version compared to their previous releases of the 1/72 scale versions. For one, the backpack in battroid mode isn't as bulky and looks faithful to the anime. The cockpit even shrinks in length to give that effect. And in jet mode, it's so sleak, with no leg-parts exposed from the lower bay. And the icing on the cake? Proper landing gears tucked away in the wings instead of the bay panels (like in the 1/72 versions), a semi rotating head, and it comes with the fast pack to boot!
For $250 CAD, sure it may have been a bit on the pricey side, but it was well worth it!
The backpack is barely visible. It actually resembles a robot now, instead of some square-shaped wing with arms and legs.
Even the fighter mode looks faithful to the anime.
So sleek, even with both gun pods attached to the belly, there's so much clearance thanks to the proper landing gears extending from the wings.
Doh, almost forgot the gerwalk mode. Can't have a valkyrie without a gerwalk mode.
In battroid mode with fast pack attached, the YF-21 stands tall and proud next to my 60GB PS3. That thing is a beast.
Very nice, I love the YF-21 design. I'm thinking about getting the VF-22S Gamlin Ver. that was recently released since it's a bit cheaper but the one thing that's stopping me is the feet seem kinda tiny compared to the rest of it.
The feet do seem small at first, but when you transform it into fighter jet mode, you'll be glad they are set at that size. I think it's a nice compromise for asthetics and functionality for both battroid and fighter mode.
Yamato produce high quality transformable Valkyries. They're pretty expensive and I hear that certain VFs break easy on the hinges. :(
Figure.fm
We can post toys/action figures as long as they're Japan/anime/otaku related. Something like the previous Figure.fm.
This Figure.fm have more categories than the previous too :)
well the arms on the vf-o are very flimsy, and ever since finding that out after breaking not just 1 arm, but both arms, i placed it in fighter jet mode
