One of the most amazing kits to come out of Yamato Toys, the 1/60 Perfect Transformation YF-21. I only found out about how awesome it was recently, after acquiring the toy, since I was always partial to the YF-19 of Isamu Dyson. The YF-21 and YF-19 came out in the Macross Plus OVA in the early 90’s and is the cannonical sequel to the Macross franchise as its production was helmed by Shoji Kawamori, famed mecha designer and co-creator of the Macross Franchise. My review of the 1/60 YF-21 can be found here.

Just playing around with some camera settings again in order to take some test shots. This time the subject I used was the 1/60 YF-21 and 1/60 YF-19 by Yamato Toys. Both variable fighters were featured in the Macross Plus OVA that came out in the early 90’s. The YF-21 was piloted by Guld Goa Bowman while the YF-19 was piloted by Isamu Dyson. Both fighters were pitted against one another to see who would be the new frontline fighter for the UN Spacy that would replace the aging VF-11.

Update: Transformation Manual for the 1/60 YF-21 was translated to English and can be found here.

Got this recently from HobbyLink Japan, the 2010 re-release of the 1/60 Perfect Transformation YF-21 by Yamato Toys. This toy was first released in 2008 then re-released by Yamato Toys in June of 2010 with a different box art and without the fast packs. The 1/60 Fold Booster & Fast Packs for the YF-19 & YF-21 however can be purchased as a combined set
