Maybe these things aren't quite transformed right for the pics and they're only here for a general idea? Like if they weren't completely finished maybe some of the transforming mechanisms don't exist yet? Super wishful thinking?

I don't know if I'd call it Transformers-esque but I can say that after seeing this toy in Gerwalk I'm not interested in it anymore. Though to be fair all of the Mac F Valks have a bit of the big-ass syndrome, this is pretty ridiculous looking though.

Gerwalk based on the images from the animation looks cool. Gerwalk on this toy looks ginormous and silly.

It's too bad this is all happening now. Flightpose used to be full of praise and I really wanted to get some for my Valks. Now? No way in hell I'd attempt to order these things until I know they won't destroy my toys.

it really wouldn't be accurate to call it that either. There are other differences to the "The First" version aside from just the Prometheus and Daedalus that would make using purely the DYRL version inaccurate as well.

I've never heard of that but I don't do anything related to the US Postal Service. They're incompetent at best. I do everything UPS or Fed Ex, even if it costs me more, because I've never had major problems that haven't been quickly fixed after an angry phone call.

Having a few VF pistols around would be pretty cool actually.

I finally got my copy in the mail today, along with the first VF-1 book and the VF-19 book. I've seen some of the pics in other posts and on the web but I'm honestly disappointed with the quality of all of them. I realize they're renders being put over real world pics and need to fit in but it looks like all of the pictures were "taken" in a haze on a cloudy day. You can't even make out a lot of the details because they're too dark/blurry. I particularly like the VF-19 pic of the fleet with fast packs hovering over the carrier around what looks like earth... or I would, if it weren't so fartING dark. I understand space is actually dark but pretend like you took the photo while they were all facing a light source so we can see more detail. Plus, hardly any Gerwalk/Battroid. The concept for these books is cool however I feel they're lacking in execution. Actually, they should hire our own danbickell or tipatat because their homegrown models of the VF-1's are better than in these books.

I check this thread over and over daily hoping to see any status updates to this project.

Nice full page pic of the VF-29 in Gerwalk. I really do love the way it looks in that mode. Depending on how good the toy is I might be persuaded to buy my first Bandai VF.

Considering the picture of the toy is taken from a higher angle and the legs are turned back there's no real way to make a fair comparison about the size of the feet in the drawing you posted versus how the toy looks. From that vantage more of the foot is obscured, therefore it will look smaller... and what's the the foot fetish on this board anyway?

Other thank the wonky-ass engines on the wings I'm actually really feeling that Gerwalk mode.

I want one (or seven.. let's be honest) of these things in non-horrible colors so badly.

I'd buy that over the red and yellow one. But only if it came with a "Fabulous" plaque.

Release it in black, I prefer it to that bright orange.

I used to like the 171 more than the 17 but the more I look at the two side-by-side the more I'm digging the chunkiness of the 17, especially the Battroid. The Gerwalk is especially weak on both modes (imo) which is usually my favorite mode, so there's no tie breaker there for me. The Fighter mode of the 17 also more closely resembles a real-world fighter which is also a plus to me personally.

Yeah, the SDF-1 sold well. Go figure, make a rock solid product and fans will buy it... the Monster would be no different and it's my favorite Destroid.

This is pretty amazing so far. I can't wait to see this thing finished.

Seconded.

I think I'd like a V2 YF-19 first. Followed very closely by the VF-19EF.

So, they bitched it wasn't the right color but didn't give Yamato an idea what it actually was? That's... the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I don't like what you have but I'm not going to tell you what I like!

Yup, as it stands with this color I will not be buying one of these. Red and Yellow are two colors I dislike the most, combining them does nothing for this Valk for me. I'd love to support the work but I don't want to own this color scheme at all.

Damn, it's amazing how fast/efficient Fed Ex can be. Packing slip says it shipped the 19th. I just got it here, today, in Albuquerque, NM. Three days from across the world! Now if only my 22 Max's ankles were more sturdy this Gerwalk mode would stay put...

I haven't got a thing from Fed Ex, but they're promising a delivery on Monday as well.

The little red, white and yellow highlights make a HUGE difference in how the 2000 looks compared to the 3000. Obviously the cost of the 3000 would skyrocket if they painted all of that additional detail but it would make it look a lot less plain against that color scheme.
