"Macross Plus: Yamato 1/60 VF-11B!"

It's been some time since Yamato's 1/60 VF-11B was released. Due to it's astronomical price, I've been holding out for a good deal. One day...

Leo: Still 5%? Not 10%?
Shop: You want 10% I give 10 lor...
Leo: Okok... take take....

Impulsive buying again ;) So here comes the VF-11B!



The VF-11B appears in Macross Plus and Macross 7 as the standard fighter used by UN Spacy. This version is piloted by ace pilot Isamu Dyson in the start of Macross Plus, before he was reassigned to be the test pilot for the YF-19 prototype.



I wasn't kidding when I said ASTRONOMICAL. The retail price is RM798, after 10% discount is RM718, which makes it the 2nd most expensive toy in my collection, after CM's Legioss & Tread from Mospeada. I was very reluctant to get it at first because of how small the box appears to be.

Fighter mode:




It comes with the Super Parts to beef up it's appearance





Gerwalk mode:




Oh, and the cockpit is removable as an escape pod, seen in Macross 7.

Battroid mode:






Size comparison with Kato :P

The VF-11B is just slightly taller than the VF-1A in Battroid mode. Worth the price? Umm... I guess the main issue is with the pricing. Quality-wise there is no doubt that this is an extremely well-built toy. Transformation is also perfect and fun (unlike the notoriously difficult YF-21). Do watch out for those sharp points because if not careful, might hurt your hands.

Now, where is the YF-19? :P
