Not sure I have something quite on that level on hand, but I'll keep that in mind if it's needed. Thank you!
-
Oof. Well I'll give something a try tomorrow and see what happens!
-
Just got my ELINT Seeker today and it is lovely! Sadly there's a black paint smudge on the other side of the nose. What would be a safe way to take that off? Just a bit of rubbing alcohol?
-
Just now got my payment request for the VF-2SS from Amiami. EDIT: Nice, orindlt!
-
I feel like this about as good as we can expect at 1/100 scale. Definitely leagues better than the shitpiece Evolution Toy put out...

The second gunpod is to mimic the storage gimmick (more accurately, the gunpod being ejected from inside the armor). I don't think there's any way to replicate it faithfully. There's animation magic going on there. Even when collapsed as the lineart calls for, the gunpod is simply too long to fit in the left arm armor.

First pics from Twitter:

VT-1 Super Ostrich from DYRL, not the VF-1D. I'm sure they'll get around to it at some point though.
-
Up again on HLJ.

YESSS, got one from Amiami. Feels good man.

On Nippon-Yasan, do new preorder listings go under their "New Products" section?
-
Bandai is pretty good about listing all the various parts for the figures. There was no mention of canopy/heat shield parts so I think we can conclude that those don't need to be swapped for transformation. As for the gunpod, there's no additional "parts" for it mentioned in the Bandai listing, only the gunpod itself. It looks like it collapses, and indeed it looks like it slides into the left arm SAP module, but I wonder if it can be inserted all the way? It's sticking out a bit in this picture here: And with this crude Photoshop of mine, you can see the size of a "collapsed" gunpod next to one of the arm pieces:
-
Agreed on both points. I see trap doors where the landing gear "should" be stored but they probably just swap-in/out once the doors are opened. I think this is just the cost of doing business for a VF at 1/100 scale.
-
I wonder about the hands as well. Clearly they need to be removed for fighter mode? Don't see any obvious way they could hide away.
-
From machine translation: Set Contents: Body · Landing Leg Complete (swap-in landing gear for fighter mode?), · Gun Pod · Replacement Wrist Right and Left 3 Types · Replacement Small Wing Parts (extra tail fins? Shorter wings for Battroid mode?) · SAP Unit Complete · SAP Squire Drone × 4 (Yay!) · Complete joint parts for soul STAGE · Replacement antenna

Man I am just not digging that "Commander-type" head.
-
Looking to grab Kei's Hi-Spec Orguss soon. For folks who have it, it seems to be a pretty nice figure?
-
Welp, got my VF-19 in the mail today and it's a lovely piece all around. However I appear to have a defective right-wing booster part. The circle-nub and tab that let it clip onto the wing root are noticeably flattened, so the part simply refuses to tab onto the wing root at all. It just pops right out. The left booster on the other hand is perfectly fine and tabs in with no problem (and rather securely at that!) I'm not sure if there's any recourse for me as I bought this off of Mandarake.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Just ordered my first DX Chogokin, the VF-19 Advance. Pretty psyched! -
God help me, I just bit the bullet on this thing. I had Arcadia's YF-19 when that came out and was let down by the QC issues. Bandai's seems to be an improvement all around from what I've read.
-
Still no word on if this has the improvements from the 30th Anniversary and Isamu's versions, eh?
-
I think the E type's radome might fold up and mount underneath like the F-type's weapon pod. You can make out what looks like a hinge at the very rear of the fighter in the official art. Compare with Hayate's VF-31F:
-
I really hope this goes on clearance or something. That price tag is just absurd.
-
I was really excited by this until I saw the price tag. Unless this ends up in the clearance bin for half-off I don't see myself picking it up...
