To help show the boys and gals in the back, you could get a two or three tier shelf organizer. -
Huh, seems you're right. The specs sheet even reflect that, with the 17 being shorter (length and height) and lighter than the 171. It certainly doesn't look like the smaller craft, though, and it being classed as a heavy fighter/bomber whereas the 171 is a general purpose fighter doesn't help, either. Well, not THAT drastic a difference, but certainly to my eyes the 171 looks pretty clearly downsized from the 17. I suppose I just inferred wrongly from the lore that "downgrade" and "cost effective" both meant smaller... because again, and I hate to emphasize it, but the 171 looks slimmer and smaller than the 17. Either way, I still don't like the decision. I agree that I'd be more amenable to it being a "VF-171 Diamond Force colors" or whatever instead. Also, apparently the head sculpt is significantly inaccurate anyway? The top of the head retains a glaring pointed detail carried over from the 171 when all the 17S artwork is very obviously not so.

Done and done. This is the 31A straight out of Delta Scramble with the official textures, I haven't touched anything up on it. It's a bit lighter than the Navy colors, which makes the panel lines stand out and hides the decals a bit. Also interesting is that the shadow on the backside of the tail fin is textured on, not cast by the lights in the model space.

we all survived zentradi bombardment since we are posting here... so where did you end up in our current year. 2025: Megaroad-13 colonizes planet Varauta 2027: Windermereans first encountered humans upon the Megaroad-04's discovery of their planet. Diplomatic relations were established on terms which some Windermereans strongly resented. 2030: (September) new Macross class transports or New Macross-class are launched. 2031: the 21st colonial expedition, Macross Galaxy, launched from planet Eden. Macross Galaxy fleet is also said to have been composed of "9th Large-scale emigration fleet, the 51st Super-Long-Distance colonization fleet and the 21st New Macross Class Emigration Fleet". Lead ship: Macross Galaxy aka Macross 21 -
Anyone interested in a new VF-0D Premium finish valk? Selling my mine, just scroll down to see the photos!

I am displaying my DX VF-1s in multiple ModuSpace monos, so the footprint is fairly large per shelf. I use the larger arms based on the type of pose that I want, of course it is up to the individual. Here is an example of the large arm on the ArchiPro Stand and this is not near the limit of the stand. MB

I saw these in tag hobby a couple days ago and I kinda thought they were just fixed pose figures with a slight option change here and there like the head or weapons. I didn’t know it was a kit. Still looks fixed pose, but cool looking. I would love to have this design as an hg kit though

Totally out of the left field comes this announcement of a Kondo-style Geara Doga "Variable Action Kit"

Preordered 2 at Nin Nin Game.

Does it actually look better with the longer arms? I would of thought the short arm was the best height for it in fighter mode.
-
Same. Used your affiliate link. Not sure how that works or how trustworthy companies are regarding referral rewards. This was an immediate buy for me. I was lucky enough to pick up the 1/65 version 6-7 years ago off Mandarake; it's such a stupid-fun toy. Highly recommended.
-
Honestly, I got one, but I don't know if I want to keep it due to all the aformentioned accuracy issues. At the very least, is it safe to assume they'd fix the QC and design issues of the 171?
-
Completely forgot about this one. VF-17 still available on HLJ as of this writing. A PO that doesn't instantly sell out must keep the Bandai execs up at night. -

got one from hlj! https://www.hlj.com/?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=scorchedearthtoys -
Yeah, once they've put out product images, it's pretty unlikely Bandai will make any changes at all, no matter what feedback they get. They sat on the YF-21 for so many years, and had so much time to correct their bad decisions, but nothing ever changed from that first prototype.
-
Yeah, it seems they "rebooted" their page, got mine now -
It's fixed, the page was broken and listed as out of stock, try again now. I think they prematurely added all of the products to the main page, and then had to re-list and re-link all of the Bandai products they added, because the pages were all 404 errors. -
And here I tought it would be an easy pre-order, HLJ crashed and then went to order stop
-
Up on AE, go one no fuss. https://anime-export.com/index.php?product=97550 HLJ seems to be having web issues though, it's listed on the main page, but the link is dead. Seems that they added all of the Bandai products to the front page, but none of the individual item pages are ready.

You can never be done tweaking a piece of art, so this is a good place to let this piece be completed. I just want to request a shot with the regular 31A beside or in formation with this, just to see them together, if it's not too much trouble.

You realize they're doing none of that, right?
