I offered to buy this not knowing about the DX, and directly after found the DX YF-21 thread that I hadn't seen before. I do own a DX YF-19, and it is quite a nice piece, but seems over complicated and fragile. I watched jenius' vids and others which sung a lot of praises despite the utter failure of the 1/72 (which I have). Yeah it doesn't have the tampo of the DX or the sharp, crisp lines, but... I kinda like that. It's more like a toy from the show instead of trying to be a military replica. And I'm impatient. I've also seen Bandai show off things and never make them. Now that I have it, I'm happy I did. I love this thing! It lives up to Jenius' reviews. The stand is a necessity because it's difficult to pose without it, but this one is really nice. Anyway, to answer your question... probably not. I'm not the type for multiples, and I kinda like having one really good example of each manufacturer. This'll do... unless I feel rich and Bandai ticks all the boxes... maybe. Oh, and I think I see an easy way to adapt the DX fold drive.

And there is something cool about having the original. If you decide to get the Bandai because it looks good in Gerwalk or Battroid (that's what I think anyway) it's a win for you. You could have one Yamato and one Bandai to cover the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just her, but the original four moto-slaves were identical, just color-coded for each of the four girls... so I'm painting one for each of the Atelier Sai hardsuit figures to ride.

I want to pick up Eva-01 but I am just not a big fan of that head sculpt Looking forward to Unit-00 though. Harder to mess up Unit-00's head I hope. I picked up Eva-01 only cause I cant have a Unit 2 w/o a Unit 1. Im also not a fan of the head sculpt. From the side it looks fine but from the front it just looks weird to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snagged the last two Berkserk Figmas I was missing...

Lolicon Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 New stuff day! Something to go with the RG Sazabi I picked up recently. Another VF-1S so I can keep this one in battroid, because seven hells if I'm going to paint another set of landing gear! They even threw in a Santa eraser with my purchase.

Question though, are the legs supposed to attach like that? I thought the red and blue connection points would telescope into the vehicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Woah, Kuma...that's pretty inventive! I just tried it! So the legs are connected correctly and the red and blue are telescoping but in order to do this pose you have to push the envelope of how the hip joints are set up to achieve this position. The front and side plates of the waist armor are the only ones on either ball or swivel joints to be able to move out of the way for dynamic leg poses forwards and sideways. However, since the rear plate is fixed, you can't push the leg in a backwards direction. BUT (and here's the clever inventive part) if you swivel/rotate the internal hip joint a full 180 degrees it causes the connection point to become lower (i.e. poking out of the waist armor as seen in the pic) thus allowing a much greater range of motion (in this case backwards) so the hips can now be pushed forward and up a bit to achieve this killer heroic pose. Great pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
