Wha??? The mouth never moved in the anime as far as i remember.

That is an outstandingly cool piece of work!

I did the switch shortly after my other post. I didn't really look at the instructions aside from the picture that was posted in this thread that showed which screws to pull. Was easy enough to figure out from just that. Didn't really notice a difference. The one thing I will say is that those hexagonal shoulder-top pieces do not want to go back into their spot when transitioning back to fighter mode. Feel like I'm going to break something. This has nothing to do with the piece that was swapped.

Half-way through the series and probably the most sci-fi'ey ALIEN story yet. Best since ISOLATION imho and I'm hoping for a second season too. On a side note this series reminds me of the TERMINATOR series where it expanded on the movies, deservedly loved by fans but was cancelled prematurely too.

Yea... I was only able to determine the sections/spacing were different from Bandai's picture at first (even with the translations) and was not sure of the exact issue otherwise, until @PointBlankSniper elaborated on the issue (that parts needed to be switched (L to R).

Just got the notice that mine is out for delivery. Probably time for me to open the HMR fire Valkyrie I purchased also

@PsYcHoDyNaMiX post makes it easier to understand honestly, the pic from Bandai doesn't do squat for me as I still didn't understand it. Take your time on getting the review in the Revival 27 in deck @jenius, I wanted to see an overall complete comparison of all the 27y done together, Maybe its a lack of interest that I have not seen a review of the Revival 27 yet (Mark H's crap quick review in it doesn't do me favours at all).

DHL says my Zola Patrol is out for delivery today! I'm just going to enjoy it and try not to think about the ludicrous shipping! This is my first Valk in prob 3 or 4 years in any scale.

I think we’ve all had enough of death and taxes lately

Final Trailer OK, I will watch this movie on D+

Have a "bit" of Parasite Eve in this game XD

I can see the situation where (hopefully never) WWIII breaks out and after the first several battles most of the 6th/5th generation fighters have been blown to crap and, if it never goes nuclear, the war ends with air battles being waged with 80s/90s' era airframes because they are more numerous and easier/cheaper to repair and keep fighting.

We'll see- they still have the order up for being delivered mid-Oct.

That’s cool

This guy re-created the starfighter featured on the cover of Asteroids Deluxe for the Atari 7800!

M7 mecha size comparison.

I just watched with auto TL captions. I'd say it's comprehensible if you just listen for those random english names and model numbers and keep your eyes peeled for when it consistently garbles them up, because YT doesn't know franchise specific lingo. Quoted the two screenshots to make a couple points. The first is that the fighter mode's legs are nearly as thin as the arms. Those are basically the 171 proportions, if not possibly slightly worse. Obviously, those same proportions don't come close to matching the battroid mode beside it. A toy can only mirror one form, or neither, and it looks like bandai made their choice here. Second, it is no gargantuan beside the Blazer valk. This image looks about the same scaling as the DX YF-19 to the DX VF-171EX I have beside me. Unless the Blazer is supposed to also tower over the YF-19, it doesn't look like 17 could be any bigger than the 171.

Yeah there is a couple. The Cyun yan or translated spring swallow, Carmilla, Zouk, and Apsaras. there is no art for any others and possibly isn't meant to be, besides Yukikaze. but I am currently working on a decal for minx as this is the unit in episode 3 guarding Banshee 4. and affectionately named in honor of second lieutenant Anastasiya Kovalevskaya. the Ukrainian long haired blond of the unit. Will try to make it ethereal and sexy at the same time as it goes with the fairy theme and will pair with Carmilla. then i will colourize Cyun Yan. The others are in colour so we have the correct look for Zouk and Apsaras. Iv'e been researching Japanese Spring swallows and they have a red patch on their neck with a black and white body. And if i'm feeling generous will post them all here with an alpha channel. by the way; Open carmilla in photoshop and print from there as i noticed it is quite ugly on screen on the forum, but will print very nicely as i said previously. adjust the size of the print in the print settings by percent. Don't shrink the pic itself and it will turn out sharp and crisp. For those with white ink printers (If you have one I most likely don't need to tell you anyway) but make a copy of the decal that you can completely desaturate to pure white. Then print that out and lay it down first so that the colour decal is bright with the true colour when laid over the top. enjoy!!

I would like to link some photos here as well. Back in the day I used photo bucket before it became paid. Can anyone recommend a good (free) site?

At a bare minimum I hope Bandai may consider the folloing changes before releasing the 1/60 DX VF-17S, to make it slightly more acceptable: Shoulder armour resculpted to add the VF-17's characteristic twin micro missile launchers, which were priminantly featured in the anime Complete leg resulpt to get rid of the VF-171's leg micro missile launchers, add the VF-17's gunpod port, make the legs slightly more chonky and add correct panel lines. Make the crotch piece in Battroid mode angle straight down instead of forward. Beef up the arms as much as possible. Remove the hard points from the wings (VF-17 never used external hard points). The above is probably just wishful thinking and may not even be possible. To be honest, being a huge VF-17 fan I'd prefer a clean sheet of paper design, rather than them basing it on the VF-171 toy, but I'm enough of a realist to know that is not likely to happen, given the VF-17 is not a fan favourite design. Hopefully one day we get a better VF-17 sculpt in from either the HMR line or the HG Shortcut Change model kit line.

For further comparison of the VF-17S vs the VF-171, here's the 'detall-up' VF-17 lineart showing full panel lines and other details. IIRC, these pics were first seen in the "Macross 7 Animation Materials" book, published in 1995. Credit to macross2.net for the pic, saves me having to scan the page from my book. 😅 Interestingly, despite their simplified transformation and limited articulation, the old Bandai 1/65 scale VF-17D/S toys from the 90s actually feature most of the panel lines from the detail-up lineart. There is so much detail difference and proportional difference between the VF-17 and the VF-171. You just cannot use VF-171 legs and most other parts of a VF-171 and call it a VF-17......sigh. Being a huge VF-17 fan, the more I look at the Bandai DX photos, the more depressed I get.

Here's hoping no one has to die for this to be resolved.

I snagged a PO way back so have not been paying attention on availability, but it is currently up at HLJ https://www.hlj.com/dx-chogokin-vf-19-kai-excalibur-nekki-basara-special-banc676269
