DX超合金 Armored VF-25S to be sold as bundled set.

Info:

- 23cm in height

- Late June release

- ¥18,900 (including tax)

Hells to the motherf'n ya!!!!! Roughly $190+ usd

whew, I almost impulsed bought the standalone. Guess that cash will go to the vf-1d now.

*I hope it's true!

Just wondering how everyone is planning on displaying their DX toys?

Graham

rfv-25 - 1/72 with superpack in fighter mode

vf-25g - with and without packs and alt between fighter and battroid.

vf-25f - when the 25g doesn't have packs on. I'll put it on this one and alt between

the 2 modes.

vf-25s - don't have it. should I get it now??? or wait??? I want armor for it and will probably

give in to seperate packs if thats the only way to get them. I wish they would just say.

you have NO choice but to get it and you know it!

i hope both too unless there's some retooling to hold the armor in place.

the 25s is still in stock at a couple places so not so much a seller as the 25f.

that also means a lot of people passed on it this round. i have to pass on the

superpacks myself because seperately its just too expensive for what you get.

bundles like mik and luca are the better deal and hopefully those sales are good

to show them we want ozma bundled or both, but definately not just an overpriced

special order for parts.

Maybe the strongest epoxy you can find if you can get the rest of the joint

Out of the cock piece.

Now is that little picture confirming dx armor packs?

2.) vf-25F have a hip mod.

*I have grind the hip a little bit, so that it can achieve a much more aggresive "A-stance" (see comparison between stock and mod pic 14)

Enjoy!

The vf-25 looks very good now IMO.

you're making it damn hard resisting getting the ozma!

*sigh* well can you post a clear picture of the hip mod and how you did it? what tools

did you use?

good review, but some quick comments: there is actually a hip joint and

you can keep the gun hands in when you transform it to jet mode. it's a tight

fit, but can work. the small fins on the shins should be at an angle like the model

so yes, it's a design flaw too.

For those of you that got your VF-25 DX from HLJ, how much was the shipping? Since the box is som much smaller than a Yammie, just curious if shipping was less.

Chris

it was about a month ago, i can kind of remember the total which was

$160-165 with ems s/h.. that's including the intl transaction fee bank of america

charged me which was around $10 & took a week to arrive to cali.

Yes, its OK, but they only acept EMS Shipping

cool. thank you. i prefer ems anyway. (Need to track it like a

hawk).

now does anyone else think a 1/60 vf-25 should really be closer

in size to the sv-51? they're very simular in design except

the arms are on the outside and both their bodies fold over

itself, even the shape of the nose is pretty much the same.

anyway i'm refering more to the jet mode.

(i know they've downsized since the vf-0.) just a thought.

Good new for DX VF-25F Alto custom

Bandai re-issues it on April

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10074068

Is that place good? I just placed the last reserves for Michelle's.

Yes, It's good, but it has one problem.

After attaching super pack, the parts on the shoulders will be slide.

ya, i've thought about that too. we'll have to see how that sp part moves.

Can someone post a better description or perhaps photos of how to do this, I don't have the toy with me now, and I don't really understand the directions.

Negotiator--I don't know how I missed that picture, I guess great minds think alike!

Of course!

hopefully bandai will learn how to do it and take better pics, lol

i dun said that over here

ozma neck

Ok I'm feeling pretty stupid, just got my Ozma and I can't get it to stand in gerwalk mode properly. The feet and ankles seem to floppy and wont hold a position. I can get it to stand without falling over only with the fuselage parallel to the ground. Anyone have any tricks or ideas what I am doing wrong? Is it fairly sturdy in this mode...or does it require delicate balancing? Thanks for any help

it's a balancing act. the pegs on the intakes have to be disconnected and you have to meddle with the legs and feet to achieve a decent looking A stance.

If there's one that's truly woth 200+, it's the 21....and sv-51.

Just get it and be happy!

Mine looks like its crosshatch. What does the head of that

Screw look like for you?

EDIT:

Nevermind. You already answered that.

Hmm someone recently took a VF-0A Shin and basically chopped his arms and legs off to fit. And I think earlier in the ver2 of this thread it was shown that Yamato's pilots were a little too big for 1/60 scale! Are you going to sculpt your pilot or just mod him from a Yamato?

I'm going to sculpt it.

@ omega

Omg that really sucks. I think your the 1st casualty. I'm not sure about how to fix

That. I'm sure its possible.

you're right, looks good enough and only have one of these for awhile. My next step is a bigger pilot to match

the yamatos 1/60, which I'll make a thread for later in the kitbash forum.

Look's like you have successfully rescued the Gerwalk mode of the DX! Well done! Looks like it balances quite well too.

lol thanks. almost tho, there's still a matter of the heel/ankle mod, but hesitant on that because I'm afraid to lose balance

I'm definately getting one of those. Meanwhile, I was messing around again with the 25F and I was wrong

about the thigh mod. It can move forward, just need alot of force when pushing in that position for the first time.

I've just gotten my VF-25F 1/60 model myself the other day in the mail. overall the model is b*tch'n - one of the BEST valkyrie model kits I ever got.

I notice the neck is short as you said. If I may ask, Negotiator, if I flip the neck up to that angle as you have illustrated, will that make the neck look better. Will the head still be able to look upwards? As well as downwords now?

these are the 1/60 toy. the model is 1/72. but if you have the toy, i think it looks better

and the head can look up and down. youll see the base of the neck will hold the position

and not flop around. hope that helps.

Yes those are very nice straight lasers. I'll do that if I can get one.

Although if you position the neck at an angle, you'll find that the

Pieces around it will accomidate it and lock the base of the neck in place.

I think the instructions are wrong. The head may still look stubby

Because of the size of the head, but I,ve yet to see it in that position.

curious about this problem as I don't have it, but are you transforming it so that the neck piece is at an angle like this?

Great panel lining pics! I've been waiting to see this. Did you use a gundam marker? It does make the toy look alot better. Is that a 1/72 VF-0D? It looks massive!

Edit: Wizatar's review is up!

Thank you! Yes it's a gundam marker and yes, the 0D is 1/72, nice big ol' wings.
