lancalot Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 your video and review are the best Jenius ...i use it alot to check the figure out before i buy them and learn how to transform them properly! .. Just finish repainting the 30th super parts of the YF29 alto .... cause i refuse to pay $160 plus for the alto super parts now !! i rather buy another vf-25a figure ..... i left the yellow strip in there to make it look a little different from the rest and also it ties in the other yellow bits that are already on the plane also painted the shield as well ...

barurutor Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I don't really like the 29 design but saving money is always cool. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconkpd Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) This reminds me...How does Isamu pilot the thing without EX-Gear...!? I wonder how the minifig will work, because Isamu's flight suit is rather bulky compared to the standard Alto figure's...Unless they do something wacky like repaint an Alto figure or something Edited November 5, 2013 by Falconkpd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon18 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If you look at the preorder images. The pilot is just a recolour of the other YF-29s' pilots. But I'm pretty sure Isamu has one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) While piloting the YF-29, I'm sure Isamu would need to wear a flight suit that works with the EX-Gear system so logically his figure should just be a recolor of existing ones. This reminds me...How does Isamu pilot the thing without EX-Gear...!? I wonder how the minifig will work, because Isamu's flight suit is rather bulky compared to the standard Alto figure's...Unless they do something wacky like repaint an Alto figure or something Was he shown piloting one without the EX-Gear? I thought the 25, 27, 29, the retrofitted 171EX and presumably 30 were all built using the EX-Gear interface, without one those valks would be non-functional as there would be no controls in the cockpit itself.

Very well done Lancalot! My Alto is with the anni super parts as well because I love how it looks. The color contrasts very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If you go by this pic, he apparently either just used the EX gear over his existing suit, or he planned on not having to eject (which technically fits his attitude anyway). On the other hand, he also seems to have the ability to phase directly through solid matter, since his arm is resting on the edge of the cockpit while the canopy is still closed.

Indeed, brilliant. Great work. The VF-171 and the 27 had no need for an EX-gear, guess the EX-gear is optional except on the 25 cause it contains the flight controls and is compatible with high school non military EX-gears for any prepubescent kid to pilot any derelict private military top of the line valkyrie found in the streets............Gundam Frontier, I mean, MacrossF.

On the other hand, he also seems to have the ability to phase directly through solid matter, since his arm is resting on the edge of the cockpit while the canopy is still closed. So it looks like he's just using the EX-Gear system just for the controls. You can see the EX-Gear shoulder pauldrons, helmet, and other stuff in the cockpit. It definitely wouldn't fit over the flight suit he's wearing. I wonder if he would still get the G-resistance benefits that the EX-Gear provides over the traditional style cockpits.

skullmilitia Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'd wager the EXgear is the cockpit until ejection. It's not like Alto gets in the Messiah wearing the EXgear. We only see the EXgear with the pilot upon ejection. Therefor it's part of the seat/controls that connect around you when Ejection is commanded.

Falcon18 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm guessing that the EX Gear only forms the cockpit's controls. It doesn't really encompass Isamu as the exoskeleton like we see in Frontier. That or the animators are just lazy to create a new flightsuit for Isamu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or the animators are just lazy to create a new flightsuit for Isamu I don't know what events transpire in the game, but I guess it's possible that there just wasn't a spare Ex-Gear compatible flight suit ready for him or he doesn't like the more form fitting flight suits so he went as is when jumping into the YF-29. I'm thinking the real reason is they just wanted Isamu to be as recognizable as possible, logic be damned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
close313 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) God damn it i just cancelled my po few weeks ago, i looked back into this thread to see the pretty pics and in the end i think i will re-preorder again! I thought having Alto's was enough but the scheme for this one is too awesome, even more so than the one I own. Probably because M+ was my first ever completed series and it left a huge impression on me. I have a dream that they do a Guld's tribute to the Chronos due to both having Raptor-esque design (fat chance).

Falcon18 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Shouldn't have came back into this thread to look at the pictures then lol. As to the game.. it just shows him to that scene above where he appears in the YF-29 I think. Haven't played it. It's from what I've read and watched.

Sandman Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 FYI... I just finished up a transformation video that shows how to go from battroid to fighter without the shoulders popping off. I'm hoping to upload it later tonight. Thanks for doing this. I'll hopefully find some time to check it out this week. Having a 7 month old takes up a lot of free time.

Kurisama Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Wait until they're almost 4... Then they don't leave daddy's man cave and play/fondle/ravage all the transformers and eyeballs the 1/60 valks - telling me that one day when he's 'bigger an bigga' he can play with them. He has plenty of classics and assorted TFs as well as a few choice Macross GN-U Dous - but that doesn't quench the thirst for the yammies... And I can't blame him.

My kids are a bit older now, but they always knew not to open any of the cases in fear of their little lives lol. I am pretty lucky in that regard. I have 3 of them and I expected to one day have a problem with them touching my toys, but they respect that they are for looking at and not playing with. They also know how dear to me the Macross stuff is so lucky me I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you find the video helpful, give me feedback on how to improve it if you don't. It worked like a charm. I did pop them off twice but i think that was do to my monster hands. I think i got the hang of it now. The shoulder guars are in position and the transformation was waaaaay easier this time. Thanks for doing the video Jenuis. Sometimes you need to see the transformation in reverse in order to see how a part locks into fighter mode. Unfortunately i noticed i chipped a small part of the black paint on the piece next to the nose cone ( just before the canopy where the nose cone folds). I didnt notice that when i transformed it last. Anyone got a suggestion for a paint or gundam marker that i can match the black with?

He knows to respect my stuff and never tries to transform them, only pose them - he gets me to do the 'hard' work. Plus he enjoys them more than i do, i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 While we're arguing about what the correct color for the YF-19 should be in the other thread... this one really needs to ditch the yellow tone and lighten up a whole lot IMO.

ArchieNov Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Did they bump up the release date for this? I just got a payment request from NY with a deadline of 11/25.
