Gunpla TV – Episode 146 – G. B. F. – 1/60 Macross Plus Transformable YF-19 with Fast Pack!

It looks like Bandai has a hit on their hands with the Gundam Build Fighters anime and so we thought we would talk about that line of HG kits in this week’s episode of Gunpla TV. However, everyone is buying them up as fast as Bandai can make them, so we don’t have any we can show you. Instead, we decided we would look at the Booster packs that are sold separately and swappable among HG kits.

1-60 Macross Plus Transformable YF-19 with Fast Pack-2

Kits featured in this video:

1/144 HGCE Strike Rouge
1/60 Macross Plus Transformable YF-19 with Fast Pack
1/144 HGBC Dark Matter Booster
1/144 HGBC Build Custom: Amazing Booster
1/144 HGBC 003 Build Booster Mk-II

  13. No one likes Miss Sazabi, no one don’t want to buy her… So I decided to buy it for myself. Now waiting for arrival my shipping with it and another 3 kits :3

    Reply
    • Yeah, I noticed that the Miss Sazabi does not run out of stock…

      Reply
      • Which is a shame, considering it’s probably the best-looking design from Build Fighters thus far. It’s easily a better reworking of its source kit (Sazabi) than the other kits were of theirs (Strike, Mk II, Zaku, etc.)

        Reply
        • Wut. It’s just a Sazabi with long, anorexic legs that don’t match the rest of the body at all.

          Reply
          • I agree, I really like the design and feel it’s under appreciated. I don’t get all the “Leg Hate” either, she has the same legs as Sazabi without shin armor; it fits the more overall look of the suit.

          • I had the same initial impression. After taking a look at the regular Sazabi design for comparison, though (to get an idea of how much changed), I think a big reason for my consternation might have to do with the smaller skirt armor. The side skirts on the Sazabi are humongous, as are the lower legs, but it looks like the thighs themselves are the same on both kits. Overall, I quite like what they did with the design; it’s a nice riff on its source material, which is more than can be said of the other Build Fighters designs. It looks really out of place in the BF universe, though. It’s too… elegant compared to the other, clearly simpler and more childish designs.

            …not digging that shield, though. But they can’t hit everything out of the park, I suppose.

        • Probably, majority of fans are thinking otherwise…

          Reply
        • Yeah, it’s quite creative, I agree! Char would probably not be too happy about it though… XD

  14. Syd how many gundam do you have in total and which gundam serise do you like the most.

    Reply
  15. Still waiting to see the insides of the Neo Zeong and awaiting on the whooping price that comes along with it 😀

    Reply
    • It probably won’t have any sort of inner frame, if that’s what you’re looking for. Remember, it’s an HGUC kit, not MG or PG. The best way to get an idea of what you’ll get is by taking a look at the HGUC Dendrobium. That kit has a lot of parts and is bigger than most PG kits, but it doesn’t come with any sort of inner frame. If it did, its already high price would be doubled or tripled.

  20. Those who say they like Gunpla, but didn’t try watching or don’t like Gundam Build Fighters are missing a lot of fun. Lot’s of references to previous gundam series, gundam appearances and cameos. And so far one of the most enjoyable and ‘happy’ endings for a gundam series.

    I’m surprised Syd you haven’t watched it yet!

  30. It always seems easy to write off the “booster kits” but for any kitbash getting some from one of these boosters can help set it apart (with some paint of course). and I’m keen to see the HG Turn A next week.

    Reply
  31. This Macross look amazing, I can’t wait to see transformation.

    Reply
  32. That YF-19 was a nice surprise. It’s always nice to see Macross pop up on the show. Would I be correct in assuming that’s a rebranding of the Yamato YF-19, or is it a new tooling?

    Speaking of Macross, have you done and/or can you do some comparisons between Bandai Macross kits and other companies? I’m thinking specifically of the Hasegawa non-transforming kits. Maybe take a look at and compare the Bandai rendition of the VF-1 to the Hasegawa version.

    Keep up the great work, Syd and Ryan.

    Reply
    • It’s a new tooling. Well, more or less.
      Yamato did the 1:60 YF-19 back in 2006, I think… And they followed it up with the Macross 7 VF-19’s more recently – a few years ago I think. Apart from the stylistic differences, the Yamato VF-19’s were redesigned to improve the battroid mode – make the legs less lanky, make the torso come together more nicely, etc. The Arcadia YF-19 incorporates those design changes.
      So one place you can see the difference is in the back of the legs. YF-19’s transformation is a bit “complicated” because the arms wind up overlapping where the legs should be. The new YF-19 addresses that in a couple ways – among other things, the legs extend in fighter mode and retract in battroid mode – so they can get the proper “stocky” look in battroid and look a little more “sleek” in fighter mode – and some of the space needed for the arms in fighter mode comes from the gap that opens when you extend the legs.
      Unfortunately HLJ doesn’t have good pictures of the Yamato YF-19 online, so if you want to know more about what’s changed, I’d take a look around on Macrossworld. There are guys there who know everything about Yamato/Arcadia figures and Macross in general.

      Reply
    • Also you can’t really do a proper comparison of the Hasegawa “non-transformable” kit with the Bandai “transformable” simply because the engineering is worlds apart. Hasegawa kit is a standard “glue em up and paint them, with a ton of waterslide decals” good old aircraft kit made in one color while Bandai counterpart is more “toylike” with snap-fit parts and color separation, stickers etc etc. I’d say Hasegawa, being an oldschool aircraft manufacturer will offer a LOT more detail because they can, due to non moving parts. Panel lines all over the place etc but no major gimmicks while Bandai will have the transformation which is a huge bonus to the people that like that, not to mention opening hatches and add-on parts all over the place. And one more thing, I’m pretty much sure you can build a Bandai Macross kit right out of the box and have it look pretty good without any big fiddling but you can’t do the same with a Hasegawa kit which require some skill to start with, sanding, filling, painting, decaling etc etc.

      Reply
      • @tetsujin – Will check them out. Thanks.

        @Daniel – It wouldn’t be an apples to apples comparison, you’re right, but that doesn’t mean they can’t or shouldn’t compare. Since Hasegawa offers the VF-1 in both fighter and battroid modes, they could compare both of them to the Bandai version, seeing what the transformation adds and takes away to the models. (While we’re at it, I think Wave makes some battroid/fighter VF-1s as well. Throw them into the mix.) It would be a good opportunity to teach customers who might potentially be stuck deciding between two renditions of the same design what to look for. It might also provide beginning hobbyists who’ve only stuck to gunpla and Bandai engineering an idea of what else is out there.

  36. My wife just gave me a MG 1/100 Strike Rouge Ootori version for my birthday and I cannot wait to put it together and customize it and what not. While I wait for it to come in the mail I thought I’d go on youtube and watch Gundam Seed to see what all the fuzz is about these gundams beside looking awesome and man, what a treat it is watching this cartoon. So I’m late in the game but better late than never! Anyway, great show and that YF-19 looks amazing!

  37. Hi Syd & Ryan, good to see another episode of yours. I can’t wait to see the size and price of Neo Zeong. I hope you can show me on your show when the kit come out. I got a question to ask can a winner win 2 times of this giveaway? And let’s see if I can win this giveaway this time. Limited edition.

    Reply
  38. Bandai must have a lot of faith in the Unicorn series to believe that a 1/144 Neo Zeong would be worth producing. Forget about the price and sheer size, how many would have the space needed just to display it???

    Reply
  39. I’ll just take a cardboard cut out of Neo Zeong. You know what’ll happen if I even buy a Dendrobium? I’ll starve. I’ll starve but I’ll have a plastic space robot to keep my corpse warm.

    So, you wrap those models in a printout of all the comments here during shipping?

    Reply
    • Syd and Ryan could probably throw in the printouts that they use for the show, if it doesn’t really make a difference in shipping costs?

  50. Hey guys, great episode this week. But I have a question for you the both of you.

    Of all the mobile suits that I have seen throughout Gundam, I found the Reborns Gundam to be my top favorite, and since its appearance, hope to see it become an MG kit. So the question is, is there a chance of that happening, or of any of the other Gundams from 00 to come out as an MG? I would also like to know which particular Mobile Suit the both of you wish to be made in to kits.

  64. Hey HLJ,

    Being that Arcadia has some of the molds from Yamato, do you think we’ll ever get a re-issue of that 1/3000 scale SDF-1 from them?
    I missed my chance to own one a few years back and the second hand market’s markup is insane.

    Either way, I love seeing the show each week, keep up the good work!

    Thank you guys! 😀

  70. I tried the original build booster (from the build strike full package) and from what I saw I THOUGHT the twin peg (as what the manual shows for the hg wing) would work with anything with a twin peg backpack, as it turns out, my hg blue destiny’s holes are far too large and apart (thus the waist connector which leaves a nasty split) and my hg nemo after a few mini test may need to use the crotch connector intended for the unicorn (which looks horrible), doesn’t give hope for my intended use for the twin peg connector being used with the gm custom…why do I like this peg so much?

    Looks better and is a tad more stable to my eyes, don’t like waist splits or crotch attachments :c

    And I got the miss sazabi kit here, have yet to start building but I like the design (despite the legs being so hollow so I worry about stability when finally built) and with a new coat of paint I think just about anyone may like it…although sadly my intended kit bash idea isn’t gonna work out of the box (is it wrong for a guy to take such a big mean machine and have a big bow from the bearguy on its back?)

  71. Good episode, guys. Now that Gundam Build Fighters has ended, it would be a good time to marathon it. I enjoyed the series a lot; loved all the old Gundams, references and nostalgia peppered in it.

    It will cause a wave of new Gunpla fans, that’s for sure. On another note, that Valkyrie and 7/11 model need a good home on my shelf.

  76. About the new Gundam series that’s coming out, the person who’s doing the animation is the same guy who did the animation for the mecha series ‘Eureka Seven’. And if you’re curious, Bandai made kits of mechs from that show.

  82. Great show as usual guys. Just a quick question, will you guys be showcasing the Neo Zeong when it comes out? 😛

    Reply
  83. While the Neo Zeong is huge…Those huge booster tanks are quite silly and the kit is only 80cm because of those. Myself I will not get the kit but if by some chance I do by other means…(birthday, contest prize, etc) I will not be using those tanks as the actual body of the kit looks cool, just not $270 cool.

    I wish this was the april fools joke and not the HGUC 1/144 Shamblo >.<

  129. Hey Syd and Ryan,

    Frist off, it’s really awesome to hear a question I left read and answered on the show. Second, My Figure-rise Kamen Rider Kabuto just came in today from HLJ, so i got to thinking, what do you guy’s think of Bandai’s Figure-rise kit line? I haven’t seen you guys do a show about those(if there is I do apologize), so I was wondering if you guys have ever spent time with those kits, and what your opinions about them are.

  131. the dark matter booster is the same color’s as the aile striker pack it would probably look like it belongs there on it.

  133. For the price, the individual boosters aren’t bad. They could certainly make for some interesting kit-bashes.

  159. Hey guys, interesting episode, as always.

    I have to say, though, your not so subtle disdain for the Gundam Build Fighters is, IMO, a little unfortunate. Being a long time Gundam fan, it had never occurred to me to buy models and build them. I knew they existed, but living in a small town in Canada I hadn’t really had any exposure to them

    Gundam Build Fighters opened up the world of Gunpla to me and I’m glad it did. With each Gundam I build I learn something different. 🙂

    Ps. I’ve found many of your videos very helpful. Thanks!

    Reply
    • I don’t think it’s so much disdain as it is lack of interest. Build Fighters, AGE, and Gunpla Builders are all marketed at children, attempting to get them hooked on gunpla at a young age. The mecha designs reflect this; whereas something like Unicorn has rather detailed, complex-looking designs, AGE/BF/GB all use rather simple geometry and lots of flat panels in their suits. Thus, they’re just not as interesting visually.

      Plus, most of the them just look really, really bad compared to their originals. Build Strike, Wing Fenice, Zaku Amazing, Build Mk. II, Exia Dark Matter… they all look terrible. It doesn’t help that they all hail from vastly different worlds of design, too. So not only do they look bad individually, they can’t come together to form a cohesive collection, either.

      But bah, I’m ranting. Anyway, there are some possibilities on why Syd might not be so invested in Build Fighters.

      Reply
      • Bah, I say! Build Fighters was awesome. Though given that Syd says he doesn’t like Gundam anime so much, I can see why it wouldn’t appeal to him. One of the things I really enjoyed about the show was its abundant Gundam fanservice – character cameos, mecha cameos, references dropped all over the place… It took the whole “shameless product promotion” thing and turned it to its advantage.

        Reply
        • I can certainly appreciate that perspective. I suppose it does wear its heart on its sleeve rather than trying to dupe its audience with a hokey “war is hell” morality tale.

          Also, fancy seeing you here. Hope the builds/blog are going well for you. 😉

          Reply
      • What you said definitely has merit.

        I look at the anime from a different angle, though. It is what it is, shameless promotion of their merchandise, but, it’s never heavy.

        The show is light, fluffy and while it possess no real plot depth, the characters are likeable. I haven’t watched AGE or Gunpla Builders but I’ve watched pretty much all the other Gundam series’ and it’s nice to enjoy Gundam in a less serious, less grim setting.

        I also enjoyed the designs of the Gundams on the show. I guess it’s a matter of preference, but for example, I really enjoyed Wing Gundam Fenice’ a-symmetrical design! So much so, in fact, that I purchased 3! One for a stock display, one to customize and one for parts.

        I’m only 23 so I won’t pretend to have seen all of the grittiness adulthood has to offer but I spend so much time absorbed in the seriousness of life, that sometimes fluff anime is a great escape. It’s the same reason I eat pancakes every Sunday and watch the cartoons I loved as a kid. Gargoyles, Medabots, Scooby Doo etc. 🙂

        Reply
        • To be fair, when Gundam tries to do heavy, grim, and serious, it usually fails spectacularly. 😉

          Asymmetry can be used to really great effect. There are bits of the Wing Fenice that I like – the wings bring to mind a Spanish matador, which might be a bit of a jump in logic, but there you are. And lances are always a plus. But it just doesn’t work for me as much as the Wing does (which itself isn’t exactly in my Top Ten of Gundam designs). Have fun with your builds, though. Hope to see them in the future.

  161. Nice show again as always. Was wondering when you would get to a Macross kit give away. I started watching Robotech (Macross) back as a Kid and it is the series that got me hooked on Anime. Just started my first Model kit (HG Age 1) last week and it is surprisingly time consuming yet enjoyable. Also a good thing I wear glasses as I get a lot of ricochets hitting me when trimming the gates. Again keep up the good work.

  284. About Macross, are they going to have the Macross Frontier robots too or only Macross Plus?

    Just curious, have you guys been watching the Build Fighter series, especially the last episode? I hope they come out with kits based on the figures featured in that episode. I’m hoping for a MG of the new Fenice. 🙂

    • It’s called “Nobel Gundam”, named after Alfred Nobel, the Swedish scientist who invented dynamite.
      Of course, Bandai went and butchered the name as they so often do, so now it’s called “Noble Gundam”.

  293. Great episode guys. Can’t wait to see that neo zeong in color to see all the details. Do you guys think this will encourage bandai to make a 1/100 kshatryia? Btw would be awesome to win those kits!

  294. Another great episode guys and congrats to Sid to moving to a new place. This episode was really insightful as I am starting to build my own custom HG Gundam. In regards to the new gundam series, I think it is just great to get Tomino back working on franchise. Personally, how well do you think new show would stack up to some of Tomino’s old works from the show’s preview?

  295. Another incredible Macross toy is always a PLUS! I am a big fan of that series and I wanna thank you guys for keeping me updated with all the latest kits and toys. I Cant believe Scott is giving away that awesome kit!!

  296. WOW A BOSS SCOTT’S BUILD! Is Boss Brian’s JSDF Type10 tank and Boss Scott’s LFA Lexus included in the giveaways too? I always envy you guys, it seems you have the best jobs in the world. Been watching GunplaTV for years now remember the episodes when Syd runs from the fields to the HLJ when he got a call that MG The O arrived, when Ryan finally joined you in Ep 40, when Japan had that nuclear plant problem and was praying that you’re all okay, and when Ryan announced that he’s gonna be a daddy. Your eyebags got a lot bigger since day one, but you’ve been spreading joy all over the world. Keep it up.

    I wish i could take home that vf-1s and the 7-11 rx-78 special.

    Ganbatte ne for you guys and HLJ’s gunplatv.

  299. That HGUC Neo Zeong is larger than most small children. Is Bandai still making the HGUC Dendrobium on that note? That kit was pretty big, though most of it was the length of the enormous gunbarrel.

    I have to say, these Build Booster kits are making me pretty excited about this All Gundam Project. It’s supposed to make kitbashing HGs all the easier, which I am definitely all about.

    By the by, Syd, Build Fighters was definitely worth the watch. Even if you’re not a big fan of Gundam anime, the gunpla feature so strongly I think you’d get a huge kick out of it.

I’m not interesting with the backpack idea.for me it just a push over product. seeing that backpack just like the kids wearing a different school bag. it Gunpla, the gunda+zaku wearing a backpack to go to the war zone or the Solomon sea.

  325. A rare 7-11 kit and the valkyrie, thank you random number generator!

    Have enjoyed many a Sunday morning drinking coffee and watching your show. Recently a friend’s 8 year old son just built his first Gundam, and an RG at that. Needles to say he’s hooked.

    Was going to send him to your site as you’ve done many “how-to” shows over the years, but noticed it’s a bit difficult to find them. I’d suggest creating a category of “How-To” to index your shows on.

    Thanks and keep up the great work. You guys have the dream job!

  348. Great show guys! I think most Hg gundams come with good enough boosters/back accessories where i wouldn’t go out of my way to replace them with one of the build fighter boosters but i guess if i did it would probably have to be for a custom paint job project because other wise it just looks a little cheesy.

    Reply
  349. Ryan transforming things on camera is stressful relax and have fun with it. Side note on the YF the Y is a designation for a test type/pre-production and is assigned to let the military know it is still in proving trials after in Macross production models get the V for variable/veritech (Macross/robotech). Syd I am working on getting my nieces and nephews into modeling (Gundam style). In your first videos you were using Copic (msp?) pens I believe for panel lines what would you recommend at this point for young starting gunpla builders. Also would be helpful if you could refer me to so resources or advise for an affordable intro kit to air brushing since they also seem interested in that line of painting. On a final note would not mind a 7-11 Gundam and Valkyrie.

    Reply
  360. Has any one else wondered if EP:7 of Unicorn will be the end of the progressive story lines of the Universal Century? On side notes I really like it that Bandai is trying to promote people to make a kit their own and bring in the younger generation(I grew up watching gundam so I am always happy to see younger people who enjoy it too). As for Macross I haven’t watched only but a few episodes of it, I will say their models and overall design is very spectacular. That Neo Zeong is purely insane, it’s one very nice and big looking machine, I would like to see the engineering that goes in to the Zeong to appear in other models as well, because I’m pretty sure Bandai will pull out all the stops since they are making history with it.

  424. I hardly comment, but i did some searching and wound up here Gunpla TV – 146 – Gundam Build
    Fighters – 1/60 Macross Plus Transformable YF-19 with Fast Pack!.
    And I do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do not
    mind. Is it just me or does it look like a few of these remarks appear as if they are coming from brain dead people?
    😛 And, if you are posting at additional places, I would like
    to keep up with anything fresh you have to post.
    Would you list of all of all your community sites like your Facebook page,
    twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
