    Well, honestly, the pic with the leg bent forward along with the white leg within also bent forward elucidated the 'how' of the thing. My question remains how far can it bend? Can it go full 90 degrees relative to the waist, does the pic indicate the limit of movement, or is it somewhere in between? I'm not getting the figure, but my general curiosity beggars an answer. To that end, if anyone here gets ML Magnus, I hope you'll share your thoughts and perhaps a pic or two showing off the engineering. For my part, I thought this G1 toy a particularly challenging one to imbue with the ML treatment; I remain impressed at the execution and the Takara designers' ingenuity.

    Careful using amz.jp to preorder this DX VF-17S. They do their new charge-now/pay-now policy on it instead. It happened to me last night and I canceled it right away. Not sure if its general amz.jp preorder-policy now or just randomized items, as I didn't get charge-now/pay-now when I PO ML-Ultra Magnus a month or so ago.

    Yeah, I'm in no rush to receive anything at this point. If the sites don't mind holding my stuff, I'm happy to let them do so until the shipping options open up again.

    UPDATE: TFWiki confirmed in their entry for ML Ultra Magnus that the knees bend forward: This pic shows the lower leg on the cab bent forward (sadly, not the forward bend on the knee itself, but I think we can see on it that it would require that): Link: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ultra_Magnus_(G1)/toys#Missing_Link

    38982 total from Amazon Japan with shipping and import charges. I'll just wait it out with HLJ and their unlimited PW.

    I think that would be a great addition. I am unfamiliar with this specific product but I have a few Mr color crystal colors that add a really nice effect. I think I have a nice blue one that may elevate this build a little. Lots of beetle carapaces have that jewel like shimmer. Good call. I guess I’m now leaning towards a more high gloss for the armor parts and flat for the joints, nooks and crannies. Thanks so much for the suggestion. 👍 This is what the blue crystal color looks like over dark lacquer paint. This is from Wave co. FFS kit

    Thinking about your project here (how bug-like it looks), have you considered an iridescent top coat on it? I saw this online and wanted to know your thoughts: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pouring-Masters-Professional-Acrylic-Pearlescent-Mixing-Effects-Medium-8-oz-Bottle-Create-Pearl-Iridescent-Metallic-Effects-Improve-Flow-Consistency/2340932760?classType=REGULAR&adsRedirect=true It says it can be used as a topcoat to add an iridescent effect to paint (clear, just iridescent). I thought that maybe it would help it look more alien, but you might not want to go that route. Just a suggestion.

    Hi, recently I've been inspired by @PixelatedShinobi with his translation of the Macross Frontier novels to try to do the same with Macross The Ride. However, I haven’t been able to find a digital version anywhere. Looked at Book Walker were the rest of the novels are and nothing, perhaps because the story was published by Dengeki Hobby. I also searched in Japanese and also nothing, I know the visual guides were scanned but not the novels themselves. I know it was compiled in two volumes but if I can get my hands on a digital release It would be more practical. Does anyone know where I could find the novels? I really enjoyed Ukyō Kodachi’s writing style on Gubaba’s translation of the first Delta volume and honestly I want more. Hope you gys can help me out.

    Huh, looks 2100 Yen more expensive from Amazon vs HLJ but I'm sure there are shipping considerations that might even it all out.... though let's not talk about shipping and hope things get better!

    This is the Frankenstein that I’m looking forward to. Odd that there seems to be a few upcoming including a weird Bonnie and Clyde version

    I hated the first one, but I’m curious to see how the kid survives without insulin

    Just placed my order from HLJ too. This is the first valkyrie order I have done in over a year. I am quite excited... I love the VF-17 design.... much more so than the Fire Valkyrie (I really hate the Fire Valkyrie's lips in particular). Now if only they would release a transformable Battle 7, along with a City 7 for it to dock to. Update: I just placed an Amazon Japan order.... I think it is slightly cheaper there. Now I will go cancel my HLJ order....

    First layers of brushes painting lacquers are down and looking rough. Going to do another thin layer all around then it’s time for clean up, some panel lines “I guess I’ll call them that”, flat top coat and weathering etc… been super busy lately so its taking forever to get this done.

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    kajnrig replied to GGemini's topic in Toys

    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

    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
