    Could you post some pics showing just how far the ankles tilt up and down versus the other Valks?

    it's still good to know they're taking it so seriously even if the problem isn't wide-spread. That will make me more confident in my three purchases (S/F/P.)

    I want to see what one of these looks like in Gerwalk. I'm not sure it's ever been shown. I can't find a place in the Animation where there was a Super VF-17 in Gerwalk at all and certainly none of the line art online has it.

    That's a good reason to buy the S variant as well. Yamato should officially discuss the chances of fast pack additions. People one the fence or who have flat out decided they dislike the S variant color/head may rethink if they can get a true S variant with the packs. I know I'm now going to get both based on what you've said. I could see the shoulders being a slight pain. More than anything they look pretty dumb in Battroid configuration. The leg fast packs, after looking at the line art, are impossible to implement save for having an additional clip-on part for Gerwalk/Battroid mode. You can clearly see in fighter mode that the wings attach right about the middle of the "bell bottoms" and the fast pack only covers the front (bottom) half of the calf. Suddenly in battroid it's covering the entire calf but you can still see on the back of the fast pack where it's drawn to have a flat edge like where the wings would fit over it. The only possible way to do that would be an extra part that snaps on/off. I still think it would be cool to have one though because it looks pretty awesome in fighter mode.

    We've had a very long discussion on that topic. We all agree however the build of the later VF-19 models is such that Yamato would have to pretty much completely create new molds for a YF-19 variant so it's not as easy/cheap as just making a new YF-19.
  6. Mommar
    If you're referring to the gullet on the YF-19 that has already been taken care of on the VF-19 Kai.
  7. Mommar
    Damn, doesn't that thing look good in Gerwalk!
  8. Mommar
    An armored one would be cool but I'm still going to keep my Alto pre-order as I really love the way a completely bare VF-25 looks in Gerwalk.
  9. Mommar
    I hope not. That would really eff up all of my Gerwalk poses too.

    The other problem with that is Yamato already opted to skip on putting fast pack attachments on the VF-19 because of the leg-missile gimmick. The legs on this Valk will also have to open for the gun pod to be ejected and that likely means these fast packs will be in the way as well. I'll bet they opt to skip.
  11. Mommar
    That would seem like an extremely hard thing to swap out, unlike the shield.
  12. Mommar
    All we need are these other two stuck next to 171 line-art and we can see just how easy it could be for Bandai to copy it (I honestly think the 171 is different enough that a it would be harder to do than just straight up copy.) So what you're saying is the wings on the line-art are far shorter than is realistically possible.

    A $200 Regult Toy...
  14. Mommar
    Even as much as I love the Monster there's no way in hell I could swing $2000 on that. I'll still hold out an impossible hope for a $500 version.
  15. Mommar
    What I'm still a little confused about is why nobody was allowed to take pics of the prototype VF-17 or Blazers. We had a years worth of proto-type pics of the VF-19 Kai and nobody seemed to have issues. Now we've got to sneak around and photo shop CAD images instead.
  16. Mommar
    The calves actually look a little thicker than I expected too.
  17. Mommar
    You know I would argue Yamato tested the waters with the Destroids people wanted the least. Maybe not so much with the Tomahawk, because I'm a fan of that one (and you get the Battletech bleed-over people as well) but... the Defender? I don't know anybody who's a BIG Defender fan or just HAD to have one. I already mentioned the Tomahawk having a small fan base though still not really that big, I know LOTS of people who love the Phalanx and I've never met anyone Macross or Robotech related who didn't absolutely want to own a Monster. Maybe Yamato didn't focus closely enough on the favorites? Especially the Monster, that's in it's own category really.
  18. Mommar
    That would be my dream destroid. That one I imagine would be at least $500 though.
  19. Mommar
    Yamato has already taken the stance that the VF-19's with the missiles in the legs won't have fast packs because the two gimmicks interfere with each other so the Blazers are guaranteed to not have them as well. It's probably way beyond wishful thinking on my part they'll even attempt them for something like the P.
  20. Mommar
    I was hoping having them removable would also mean there would potentially be a spot to attach fast packs instead.
  21. Mommar
    Because it's likely the only versions of the VF-19 with the longer wings (because some of us don't like the stubby F/S versions) we'll ever see were flown by Basara and both Valks are non-standard for one reason or another. Some of us find the colors on his McValk ghastly and unappealing but this other version is almost perfect except for the odd fins. If they were removable we'd have an excellent looking VF-19 with the longer wings and it's a far easier modification then attempting to repaint a bright red Valk.
  22. Mommar
    I think the smartest thing would be to include the gun pod. If you want a Basara Valk leave the gun pod off and the speakers on. If you want a generic military valk remove the speakers, add the gun. Want to be different? Leave one of the speaker fins on, put a cocktail umbrella in the hole for the other spot and arm the Valk with a hot dog.
  23. Mommar
    It's another goofy-ass slighty-but-not-quite-a-normal-looking-VF-19 piloted by Basara.
  24. Mommar
    There are those of us who love the basic mold of the fighter but weren't too keen on the clownish nature of Kai's paint scheme/design but would still like to buy one in support of Yamato. This design is almost exactly what we would want except for the wonky fins, another Basara special. But if they're removable that makes this pretty ideal for most of us who like the 19 design with the longer wings.
  25. Mommar
    There's a sizable contingent of us who hope the speaker pods are removable.
