Got mine last week. A great piece and improvement from Yamato. Pricey I say. Still has some flaws but not that bad.
VF-11B Thunderbolt
Battroid
Gerwalk
Fighter mode
W/ super pack
Nice fig in the cockpit. Better than YF-19's Isamu
Cockpit can be an escape pod, Gunpod details.
My escape pod cockpit is wobbly, just a little touch, the escape pod will sway front or back. Not much a problem though as long as you don't touch it. So...
you can use these two stryro to help it stay in place.
Nice design for the shoulder, unlike the VF-1 Ver2 design. But it is tight.
This one took me mins to figure out how to connect the lower heat shield to the upper heatshield (the one w/ emblem). First, you need a tweezer to pull up the lower heat shield. Pull it up until it clicks! Then push the upper part of the chest to lower down the upper heatshield then it will connect to the lower heatshield. It is impossible for me to pull all the way the lower HS w/ bare fingers if you have the escape pod/cockpit inside.
With the YF-19
W/ its two main mechas, YF-19 and YF 21
VF-11B is a bit taller than the VF-1S V2 (all the VF V2).
Overall, I like the toy or collectible. Simple transformation but can be hard on the upper/shoulder part. Take out the boosters at the back before transforming to make it easier. Joints are tight, I don't really see any breakable parts on it. Still handle w/ care. It is just too expensive, I really don't know why. Don't miss if you're collecting Macross figures!
