Macross Plus has always had a special place in my heart as the series captivated me with what is has to offer since Another Century Episode 3. Pound by Pound it is still the overall best Macross series for me as it nailed the Holy Trinity of Macross series in the right proportion to make a good mecha series. Around mid 2023 Bandai announced their DX Chogokin version of YF-19 with 24000 Yen Price tag and December 2023 release date. This is by far one of the best commercial rendition of YF-19 in the market apart from Arcadia's which fetched higher price tag.
Among many Macross Variable Fighters, YF-19 is still the best one for whatever reasons when it comes to the "Protagonist Mecha" look even if there are plenty of other superb Macross designs by Kawamori-sensei. Actually this is probably not the first time Bandai ever made Chogokin for YF-19 considering there was one in 2018 but this one is probably the first one available for international market. In terms of accessories this version of YF-19 may not have as much compared to the previously released full pack but I would expect Bandai had made some improvements over the previous iterations as the punch effect parts are different already. In any case the selling point of these Macross Chogokins will always be the main body that had the best transformation gimmick in terms of robustness and playability and will be looking forward to YF-21 full specification.
