Revoltech Macross Plus YF-19 & YF-21 Comparison

[wewyllenium]

I just got those three macross GNU figs since they were on sale. I have to say. They make better toys than the revs in terms of build quality.

[LeaderoftheFates]

I like the ones that can transform from the different forms

[ChildrenofAmory]

Very cool video. YF-21 Sturmvogel is my favorite Valkyrie. I may pick this figure up.

[nightslash3535]

I like the Revoltech version better, it has FAST Packs and it has exaggerated proportions, gives character.

[nightslash3535]

Maybe a transforming Revoltech YF-19 is too complex unlike the VF-1 figures.

[TheStephenShow]

@nightslash3535 They should make a transforming revoltech vf-17.

@Returntothere

Ah, thanks for the lesson! ^_^

[jhuneromero]

I like the GN-U much better than the revos. The revos are too small. Its kinda like you wont notice them if you displayed them with the SOCs. I think GN-Us just a little shorter than the SOC Mazinger Z. Its much better to display them together. Just wish GN-Us are shinier.

[A7WFG]

Personally, I prefer the Revoltech versions over the GN-U versions, as they have more dynamic poses. The GN-U may be more detailed, but I already have the 1/60 YF-19; so for me, there's no point in getting the GN-U.

[BSGNUT]

Josh! Your reviews are most excellent my friend. I have been a Macross collector for a very long time. Your reviews are un-biased and to the point and I love that. How can I join Collection DX to share my collection?

[Huamaru]

Why didn't you show the Revoltech's poseability?

[Underthedarkrsky]

I ve bought the revoltechs so far. Yeah the guard my Macross collection.

[sinphonyh]

Revoltechs aren't expensive at all. They're cool but not transformable. U can get them for no more than 20 box each.

[Levitz9]

I concur. The most one could pay for a Revoltech is around $25, not including shipping.

[eckergus]

The GN-U Dou YF-19 & YF-21 are on clearance at HobbyLink - 65% off the regular price (that's about 10 bucks a piece).

HobbyLink also has the Revoltechs on clearenace - 35% off (about 12 bucks a piece). If don't have them yet, hurry!

[15thsquadron01]

lol

[z1u12b]

In macross pluss episode four where Guld and Isamu fight in th ecity, Isamu yells "shut up" and uses a chi like blast with his hands to blow Guld and the YF 21 back. Thats what the little green burst barrier system effects represent. Cool.

[DanielFrancoA]

hey man could you put the link to "angles" place qhere you get your fugures and stuff, or better put the link to all of the companies where you get your stuf, please..pretty please!! .....jejejje thanks

[fidorulez17]

Wow...where can i get those...it surely expensive..so sad i dont have much money (T_T)

[tubernery]

I just bought these two bad boys, they're awesome. Kaiyodo is high quality, just like their fist of the north star figures

[147258izzel]

He put TF-19 not YF-19.What the fuck!!

[SlimTwisted]

Those are really slick!

[XINKAI]

dude these look so fucking bad ass! i gotta buy me these :D

[Strider106]

You know Josh is still a vergin

[XINKAI]

i doubt it, im pretty sure he got him self a nice good looking nerdy chick :)

[sorrowedpoet]

i think you meant "virgin"

[justkillen07]

i bet he is or he mite have a nice little azn blow up doll lol

[onikuy]

umm me don't care i just buy em all ^^

[sidearmsalpha]

I just picked these up. I love the YF-21, but the YF-19 suffers from sloppy paint on the head with one of the head arrows being shorter than the other and the paint on the guns on the sides of the face being overly applied. It's also disappointing that the armor parts for the -19 aren't even the right color. Why Kaiyodo didn't stick with the original olive green is beyond me. And they should be taller than the Revoltech VF-1 figures, too, so they are of a smaller scale. Major letdown.

[Rewayah]

Since I am a KAIYODO Revoltech collector, I chose the Revoltech versions by default. However, thanks to your eye-opening and wonderful reviews, I ordered the GN-U versions too! They look neat!! I am a 'Macross Plus' fan myself! XD

[Rewayah]

Lool, that "Juju Bizarre Adventure pose"!! XD

I know exactly what you mean, the Revoltech toy line have that dynamic Mangaesque 'comic cover' pose to them, which I personally prefer and newly grow found of (although I am an 'old school' collector as you may call it). I think back in the day they couldn't create super robot action figures with such dynamic poses... or did they?

[wjrmonkey]

"very very different height..." ? They are of different scale dude. The revoltech figures uses a very cheesy body curvature design among all their figures and loses the real geist in the original anime designs. The animated transformers are also too stylized and slick to feel like those solid robots like the G1.

[DarkFalconX]

I preordered a YF-19 from Big Bad Toy Store back in June, but it hasn't been shipped yet.

[F18Topphatters]

how do you get all of your toys

[navigatorhat]

Even though the Yamato are more accurate I really gotta give it to the revoltechs for being so poseable and dynamic whilst smaller and chaper. I happen to like smaller figures too.

I'd say the GNU look good for display but revoltech are just meant for playing with. The possibility of swapping parts is a fun pandora's box too.

[tubernery]

Nice! These figures sure beat Yamato's 1/60 transformable version, which are plastic, made of loose joints, and very delicate to transform.

Never liked the gerwalk mode (except for original VFs), and for fighter mode, I'lll stick with Doyusha's miniature die-cast models.

[secret103]

I need your opinions on the metal gear solid toylines. Recommend something. Thanks.

[tubernery]

I don't collect MGS toys, but I checked out Shannon Jimenez Rojo's review of the 7" figures and unfortunately they weren't too favorable.

[secret103]

That's awesome that you found someone who reviewed it. I've looking for a review up to this point.

Unless the toys are broken, I have no choice to buy these 7" and 12" models because I'm a new fan of MGS and Snake, espeically Old Snake.

[emotionless17]

The only thing Revoltechs can't do is stand STRAIGHT. lol

[primal2020]

i have a question.

since g1 jetfire was a valkerie,shouldn't these be able to transform as well? or am i just dumb for not knowing anime?

[macrossjs]

GNU looks alot better.. go for old school..

[panzerjedi]

The detailing is a lot better on the GNU Dou figures, but I personally like the Revoltech figures more.

[viokni]

Kinda wish you quoted some opinions from the comments on the site review.

[thraxisjr]

The proportions are pushed more on the Revoltech. Besides if you already collect Revoltech, why would you want to buy another brand and scale??

[pud333]

They both look great, but prefer the revoltech. If I want something to just stand there in a neutral pose, I'd get a statue.

[Emboled]

I basically love them!

[Disguy4]

sweet...
