Hey, just wanted to say "thanks" for recommending the toothpick + 91% alcohol to remove the paint overspill on my YF-25. Worked perfectly!

Am I the only one not at all bothered by having to add the brace to battroid mode? I display my valks in a glass case, brace or no brace really makes no difference to me.

No. No you are not.

How about that rolling tape clip!??? Its like they are sitting at the HG office and laughing at how bad they can make something and still have people line up and buy it.

That was the exact clip I had in mind.

If it was parts swapping on the level of yamato vf1 v1, I'd be bummed. This, not so much.

And it wasn't even a well done redub. How many times did they reshow the same clip over and over and over?

They work well for non fast pack vf1s, but a yf19 is too heavy to work with those stands.

Gakken85 -- I just used the fishing wire Detolf trick on my Macross collection as well! I can't remember who tried it here first, but it's a fantastic idea. Really makes the fighters POP (and saves a ton of space too!)

Need to post a photo...

500,000 for a pilot and a feasibility study? No thanks.

I'd fund a kickstarter to buy the macross rights off harmony gold in a secund though.

I couldn't afford the one at wonderfest, so I tried to make my own...

I kid! I kid!

The Snowpiercer Vol 1 and 2 graphic novels are pretty fantastic.

Well I appreciate the ideas, everyone. I'll let you know how it goes.

Here's the blue paint spillover on my YF-25. Still think rubbing alcohol is the way to go?

Whoh, is that a custom VF-1J head repaint?

Sooo, mine arrived yesterday and had a little bit of blue paint spillover. It's similar to what was pointed out earlier in the thread.

Any tips on getting it off without ruining the rest of the paint and plastic finish?

Always loved the designs on this show.

I remember the old Palladium Rifts RPG jocked the MADOX design pretty hard.

Jeez. Man that sucks. Can't wait to see what goes wrong with the rvf-171...

Am I the only one who is suddenly looking for VF-25G super parts now?

There's a video review up of Daca Toys Kronos.

After watching the review, I changed my mind and am actually ok with the backpack coming off. Looking forward to receiving my copy in the mail.

Urgh, so awesome, yet so unavailable. Wahhhh

I really like the way they have the boosters oriented on the wings (in battroid mode) [edit]

^{Are there any shots of the prototype next to a Yamarcadia VF-1? I'm curious of the scaling crossover in 1/60 as the new Zero looks like a big SOB.}

The 1/60 VF-0 is about the same size as a 1/48 VF-1

Which site did you order yours from?

Oh crazy, I think this is the first time I've realized the that antennas are different lengths.

I assumed it has to do with the fact that I selected slow shipping, but maybe not.

Yeah, it seems to take about a week between payment and shipping with N-Y :/

Hah, that's a scheme I'd actually buy from Arcadia!
