DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie Isamu Type Tamashii Web Exclusive Updated

Bandai has surprised everyone with this announcement and reveal at the Macross 30 Crossover Live concert venue by showing off the DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie Isamu type. This particular variant of the YF-29 was first seen as an unlockable Valkyrie in the Macross Frontier: The Wings of Goodbye PS3 game which was included on the Blu Ray of the movie itself. It later showed up as a playable craft in next PS3 game, Macross 30. Isamu's customized YF-29 is painted like the YF-19 he flew in Macross Plus and features a new head that resembles the YF-19's. The gun has also been modified to include a bayonet like on Isamu's VF-11. This toy is a Tamashii Web Exclusive with preorders starting July 25th 2013. It is set for delivery in December 2013. The price is 17,850 yen.

Now I like it

....Well played Bandai... but I still think the YF-19 is a superior design.

Very nice

... but I have a feeling the amount of time to preorder will be 2 hours before they sellout.

Oh, you're right. Normally

Oh, you're right. Normally I'd bemoan that because of the price increase but in this case it means you actually have time to order it. Thanks!

No... but.

No. This is just celebrating Isamu's awesomeness. however he did make a cameo in the Macross F film, "Wings of Goodbye" with the YF-19 sporting a new set of booster packs and the SMS logo.
