W... wait, what?
EDIT: Wow, okay. I guess making it a "VF-19 Advance" and saying it's from Frontier circumvents any weird licensing snafus with the YF-19 from Plus that Arcadia made.
That said, my Arcadia YF-19 is preeeeeeetty amazing. I don't know that Bandai's can really be better. Although the notion of two different companies trying their hands at the same exact Valkyrie is kinda neat.

According to some side materials, if I remember it right, SMS bought some VF-19E Excaliburs (apparently, the Earth government has an embargo on the exportation of the A/B/C/D/F/S types, plus the VF-22S although there are special cases like the Macross 7 fleet) which they then modified into the VF-19EF Caliburn to test technologies that would later be implemented into the VF-171 and VF-25. A few of the EF types are further modified into the commander-use EFs type, one of which is piloted by Isamu, who left the military due to his extreme dislike of desk work upon promotion. Unsurprisingly, Isamu's Caliburn is the only one without the EX-Gear as he prefers the "virtual environment cockpit".
Isamu wanted a VF comparable to the YF-19 as the EF/s types had limiters placed in some mechanisms possibly due to restrictions on certain VF technology enforced by the Earth government. Dissatisfied, he later contacted Neumann, who is now head of VF development of Shinsei, for the illegal procurement of VF-19A parts. Neumann refused but presented his VF-19ADVANCE project as an alternative. This project aimed for the creation of a prototype to improve and prolong the life of the VF-19. A clause is included where the completed VF will be assigned to Isamu for the purpose of testing. Although Shinsei is focused on the VF-25, the VF-19ADVANCE project was given the green-lit as a private plan of Neumann. For that reason, Isamu has shouldered most of the development costs using his salary from SMS.
The outline of the plan is for the remodeling of Isamu's VF-19EFs into a YF-19, in addition to an increase in performance. The result is the VF-19EF/A, painted in the colors of the YF-19, which was nicknamed the "Isamu Special". To the surprise of everyone involved in its development, its performance surpassed that of the VF-25.

I guess the success of this depends on how it price compares to the YF-19 of Arcadia.

Yep, you can notice on shape that original curves are more strained. A bit "stealth" design input. I got same feeling (my taste) with this design like I discovered the YF-30 Chronos. I am dreaming about a new VF line totally stealth designed... But Shoji Kawamori Sensei design is way recognizable : Eureka 7, Sol Aquarion, Macross F... Recently : Gear Tribe Hatsune Miku GT Project... edit : comparo with the Arcadia version (with fast pack)   -> I will go to the DX version (more my taste and less expensive too) It will be cool if the DX will have the wings folding gimmick in jet mode, like the arcadia does :  |

OK thanks for the clarification, did these New VF Valks ever came out in the anime??? or just in the game??? |
