Arcadia has released their official images for their upcoming 1/60 YF-19 with FAST Pack. This long awaited release aims to be the definitive YF-19 toy. Aside from the FAST pack, it comes with several missles shown in the VF Master Files VF-19 Excalibur book. The only things missing are the fold booster and arm missle launcher that Isamu used to take out a Monster Destroid practice target.

Arcadia’s YF-19 with FAST Pack is scheduled for release in April 2014, just a few months shy of the 20th anniversary of Macross Plus. The list price is 34,440 yen. However, save some money by pre-ordering it from our site sponsor Hobbylink Japan, for 29,520 yen!

The latest issue of Hobby Japan includes some new images of Arcadia’s 1/60 YF-19 in full color! The images show the full set of weaponry to be included with the release as well as the FAST packs. Also shown are the opening split canopy, and wings swept back in fighter mode for high-speed mode. No specific release date nor price have been announced yet. Due to the sheer amount of weaponry the YF-19 will come with, it will not be cheap.

Thanks to Type-R of our sister site the 2005 boards for providing scans from various recent Japanese hobby magazines showing the following:

These 2 releases are a testament to the popularity of Isamu Dyson. Thus far, no price or specific release date is listed for the YF-19, we just know it’s scheduled for release next year. As for price, Mr. K(formerly of Yamato, now working with Arcadia) has hinted that the YF-19 and future Arcadia Macross offerings may feature higher price points. Given that the YF-19 to begin with will come with FAST packs and a generous amount of external missles, it is a possibility that this may exceed the 29,600 yen price point of Yamato’s VF-17D w/FAST packs set.
