Re: Macross Toy Reviews
Tampo printing would greatly help the Kai's fighter mode. I like the design of the plane, but you're right, the 19S certainly does show that off much better. It's funny, because I was thinking of doing the exact same thing: getting the 19S and leaving that in fighter mode.
As for the 17, I will probably get it too, but only at a steep discount. I mean, we'll see. Really,I would much rather have Bandai make a VF-171 EX Nightmare which shares a lot of similar design points to the 17's fighter mode. I think it is the superior design, and a 171 is pretty much a grail piece for me. I've said in the past I'd buy two without even thinking. That said, the whole frankenstein battroid mode is growing on me.
At any rate, my priorities right now are the following in order: 19S or VF-11C, VF-25S, and after that it's sort of a free for all. I suspect we'll see the 17 discounted later on down the line, so there is no rush for me to get one.
As for the SV-51, I agree, it's pretty light despite the gigantic design of the toy. Though, I do sort of regret selling mine. Considering how far Yamato has come in their QC and designs, I would like to see them take another stab at the Macross Zero series.
Off topic: Next two reviews will be Alto's Ex-Gear and Bandai's SD Infiniti VF-25F. One's in customs, the other is still in transit.
