Yamato VF-19S

The VF-19S is the 3rd revision of the VF-19 design that Yamato has released so far; the previous 2 versions always had an issue of the 'neck' of the jet mode being too thick. Amazing how far they've come since then. The proportions are mostly spot on, and most importantly, the transformation is intuitive and uncomplicated!












Thankfully, Yamato has been packing their toys in more compact boxes compared to the past (which was mostly 50% air), the paint job is excellent and the toy has a overall glossy look.













Gerwalk is sweet, and balances well. The hips, knees and ankle articulate well enough for posing, and is quite stable even though it seems front heavy!

















Did i mention before how easy it was to transform? Amazing feat of engineering, how they actually manage to compact a lot of parts, and swing them away so they everything looks in place...lot of "Oh THAT's how they did it!" moments here!
 
Overall, a most enjoyable release from Yamato! Kinda makes it sad then that the company is no more. Hopefully the company who've bought over the rights carries on making these fine toys!
