    I'm also hoping removable fins means a chance for Fast Packs too.

    I don't think any of us can say for sure but many of us told Graham that if they made a P they should design it so that the shoulder pods could be removed. At the very least they should be able to swivel because they turn perpendicular to the shoulders when in Gerwalk (and can in Battroid) so likely they would be removable too. I'm hoping they will be personally.

    Whales can only hear music if the speakers are shaped like fins...

    It's nice to know a release date but... of all the things to take pics of!?!

    Just be sure your ISP doesn't have bandwidth caps. That can bite you in the ass mid-month when you run out of bandwidth due to online backup and can't access the internet anymore.

    The thing is DC has always essentially attempted to have one all-encompassing universe which has never worked out well for them. Marvel has made no qualms about saying this can be in one universe, this can be in another one, we reserve the right to choose and you reserve the right to enjoy the portions of it you want to. Technically reboots are done so new readers don't have to get the back-story on eighty years of character development/plot.

    I actually don't feel like it's a "compromise." It's about the only realistic way to do it and I'm fine with that. How can you tell from the CAD? It's so small.
  8. Mommar
    I honestly have zero problem with the wings being a little longer. I still think the Battroid in that CAD looks pretty damn beefy and menacing.

    Know what, I was looking at the picture incorrect. The seam I was looking at was actually part of the "bell-bottom" and not the seam across the calf. I was wrong.
  10. Mommar
    Except the bottom half of the calf, part of the portion that opens, is sticking out and it's black. I'm only referring to what's in the picture. It could just be place holder, and the whole thing isn't visible. I'm only referring to what can be gleaned based on the picture and the colors visible. Personally I'd be happy if they closed that off, included a magnet and allowed some fast pack attachments instead. But we don't really know either way.
  11. Mommar
    Based on the photo all of the black portions are reused parts and the portion of the calf that opens is still in black. They only highlighted the small upper portion in white indicating a change up there. Doesn't mean they won't change it but that's what the photo seems to say right now.

    It's possible they've got another gimmick or engineering idea to assist but I wouldn't be let down if it looked just like the CAD.
  13. Mommar
    What I'm saying is the lineart doesn't even agree. The lineart from the back looks far more realistic than from the front, which would give the fighter mode a HUGE ass. The comparison to the VF-19 is almost impossible too. They had to make concessions and cut out huge chunks from the back of the calves on the VF-19. Luckily you don't often see the Valk from behind so it's obscured on the toy. For the 17, because the legs rotate out in Gerwalk/Battroid that would mean the chunks you could remove from the calves to make it fit in fighter mode would now be prominently showing. Yamato had to make them smaller for both modes to look decent.
  14. Mommar
    If you take a look at this lineart from various angles you can see from the back the legs are drawn more in scale/realistic than the pic from the front and it appears the CAD gets very close to this. The top half of the CAD looks damn near identical and very much like a bruiser.

    While we're NOT getting more leaked shots because of all these pansies unwilling to sneak pics I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate a little bit. What are the odds Yamato will eventually release an unpainted 19 of some variety? While they've got four versions now between YF-19, VF-19 Kai, P, and S/F it is arguably the most popular Valk simply by virtue the people around here seem to LOVE Isamu and Macross 7 and Bassara were pretty huge in Japan. That makes the 19 pretty much the favorite hero valk of them all. Anybody want to take odds or tell me why I'm an idiot? Or, you know, sneak some EFFING pictures.

    Somebody with a camera needs a wingman for a distraction.
  17. Mommar
    Off with their heads!!!
  18. Mommar
    Obviously I have no excuse.
  19. Mommar
    You're right. I hadn't noticed the canards were missing. Must be an F/S. The wings may still be stubby, and maybe it's just the angle of the shot, but the span of the wings seems different. Whatever it is it looks good to me.
  20. Mommar
    I guess it's a good way to gauge interest.
  21. Mommar
    As long as it's not red I'm cool with it.
  22. Mommar
    Because of the size of the photo I wasn't sure if that was actually an F/S. If that is I think despite the "stubby-wing" style the proportions look a lot better on the Yamato then in the animation or the Bandai hi-metal.
  23. Mommar
    Hopefully somebody sneaks some closer shots.
  24. Mommar
    I suppose there's one question. Will this be a P or a stained-P? Because if it's all red again I'm not buying it. If it's the tan color I'm going for it. Also, too bad there aren't prototype's of the S and F sitting out as well.
  25. Mommar
    I'm gonna have to get one of each. I love the Gerwalk, love the blue color of Michaels (and this V2 B mode is looking sweet too) and I love the Green color plus the look of the radome in fighter mode of Lucas.
