    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    AFAIK, Arcadia doesn't need to redo the VF-19 molds. It was the YF-19 that got the redoing to make it closer with the VF-19 molds. Yamato's VF-19 molds is different to the first Yamato's YF-19.
  2. Ok. So I read this one caption in the photo from that Facebook feed. What's the ruling here if someone copied based from a design that is also based from an existing original design? Would that second-hand designer have a say or right to sue the third designer?
  3. Ouch. Those head lasers look so thin. I do like how proportioned the 1A's head.
  4. Stolen from a model kit customizer? Still I want that Beam Shield Emitter be removable on the final product.
  5. Cheers on this! Who says I'm upset? I preordered two even though I'm scared of the shoulder double-hinge joint.
  6. Nice, Saburo! Seriously, VF-0S is not complete without the Reactive Armor.
  7. Can you try and put your item ready to ship so you can check how much the available shipping cost is? Thanks!
  8. Don't regret for not getting the one released by Yamato. That one is not Premium Finish. Ah. But which version of SDF-1 is the question, right?
  9. Yeah. They're ready to kick some butts for missing the Black Friday sale.
  10. We'll never be sure the reason behind why Bandai opted out on doing that moving plates and all from the 1/72 model kit to the DX. There's probably a good reason why they didn't. I'm pretty sure they've been in the drawing board and testing phase to see what's going to work and whatnot. And there is a good reason why that swing bar still remains. The swing bar really helps stabilizing the skeleton structure of the figure in Battroid mode. And like I said earlier, if they really wanted to do ala-model kit method on the leg transfer, that nosecone and thigh intakes needs to be re-engineered to have it work in Battroid mode. Making the figure still articulated from the waist down and keeping the figure balanced and stable since the only thing that's connecting and supporting the body weight is just those two thigh intakes connecting joints to the nosecone. If this were a small DX figure, it might work. But at 1/48 scale with a lot of moving joints and hinges, not to mention some diecast content, it might not. I too, still waiting for that day to see a 'perfect (line-art accurate) transforming' VF-1. But for now, I'm happy for what we have.
  11. We saw this last night on Netflix. My wife and my son loved it. It was a great family Holiday fun movie. Kurt Russel really played a great Santa. Made me a believer again. Go check it out.
  12. Seriously, I’m no engineer. But I don’t think the lineart transformation is really going to work in poseable toy form. If it’s static, meaning standing pose only and for study purposes or like kits, it’s going or might going to work. And I think Bandai did that on their 1/72 kit but as Sanity pointed out it didn’t work out as intended. As a moving and poseable toy, I would say there’s no other way of doing a perfect transformation without the swivel bar. But if we’re going the V1 route, then we’re losing that perfect teansformation vibe and that nosecone and joint should be re-engineered to make the figure sturdy. For me, even if I wanted to see a Battroid with waist articulation that is not a model kit, I rather not lose the sturdiness in Battroid mode in this deluxe figure.
  13. The detachable swing bar is just there as an option. If you want the nosecone to swivel for more articulation, you have to detach it. If not, you keep the swivel joint as is for extra stability.
  14. If anyone still looking for Valkyrie Factory SSP’s, it’s available at Show Z Store for $71.99. Free shipping to the US.
  15. Yeah, this is my third time using them. And so far, it's great. Thanks for that video link. All those option parts made the Red Astraea looks menacing. I love it.

    Hi-Metal R

    I know 'who' they are and 'what' they've created, @borgified. And I respect everyone's thing here. TBH, I would also love to have signatures from those 'guys', but going to conventions and big crowded places is not my thing so I don't get a chance of getting one. But as far as my post is concern I'm just doing what most members do here for years -- throw some quirk remarks, poke fun, answers queries, and most of all respect other members 'choices'. 'Nuff said.
