    Some of the stuff that makes the VF-27 not a Renewal but rather a V 1.5 is the way Bandai used old parts for toy. So the VF-25 and YF-29 have the outward shoulder motion, new shoulder block transformation, a "fully" realized second seat and more surface detail (what I remember from the top of my head). The Lucifer is lacking all this so it is not a true Renewal. On topic: I'm not buying this one. Too many stuff comes out in the first two quarters of 2015 and since I have already a YF-29 with that head sculpt I'm gonna pass. It looks good though even if I think that the contrast with the neon orange visor is too stark.

    The only time I used waterslide decals, on the MG Nu Gundam Ver. Ka, I had no problems with them. After I applied all the decals according to the manual I had only one that didn't stayed in place but a flat coat fixed that.

    So I have to rant about TFSource. Since DHL failed to deliver a package with the complete not-Stunticons team from FansProject they send it back to TFSource. This was two month ago. TFSource ignored my mails up to this point and know after I told them that I feel forced to inform my credit card company to open a dispute they wrote me back the next they.... ...and the message I received was infuriating to me: They said it is my responsibility to wait for the package until it arrives and I should get in contact with DHL to check the status of the delivery. And that after I told them several times that DHL messed up, the package is on its way back to the sender (TFSource) and I can't do anything to track the package because DHL is unable (or unwilling) to tell me where the package is. I can't tell you how mad I am at the moment... all I want is M³. *sigh*

    If this is true then there are two options: 1. MP-25 is a tank then I have to buy the X-Transbot one.... and MP-25 2. If he is a gun I I will buy the Takara version.

    I saw this and thought that for Macross Delta we're gonna get head kibble in addition to the hip kibble. However I soon realized that the "head kibble" are Hatsune Mikus ponytails. Well payed Kawamori, well played... ...that said I would be more interested if the robot had a humanoid head.

    I think the tan version works much better on the Celia figure: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-002299&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dwalkure+romanze%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1

    He has.

    So why is there a Gundam in the diorama?

    This set really makes me want a FoC Bruticus now:

    Sadly the Philae is tilted 90 degrees sideways and resting on the side instead of the landing struts. Now the solar panels don't produce enough energy to keep the experiments going after the main battery is drained from all its energy. So they try to get as much data from the comet as possible until the lander goes dead next Saturday. Also they won't be able to use the drill because Philae is not attached safely. Bummer.

    Can you actually access the ball joints in the ankles for maintenance? From what I gathered the feet-thrusters on the Phoenix have a design similar to the VF-1 where you can't even see the joints in the legs.

    WHERE IS THE PANIC BUTTON!???? Seriously. WHERE IS IT??? Still waiting for the Black Friday sale.

    Looks like a big jump in build quality and finish by KFC:

    I'm thinking about canceling my Takara Leader Jetfire because I would rather have this mold as Skywarp. Maybe I should keep the toy sealed and sell if off after Leader Skywarp is confirmed. Is this the first step becoming a MISB collector?

    At the moment they seem to have a problem with the ice the comet consists off. Apparently it is too soft for the spikes the Philae attaches itself to the comet. At the moment they are trying to solve this problem so they can start with the experiments. I'm super exited though. Sadly almost no media coverage in my country for an event that is comparable with the Moon landing.

    Thanks jenius for this amazing SV-51 transformation video and toy review. Since I don't have the SV-51 myself it is really nice to see the transformation of the toy and the sheer massiveness of it in 1080p. Side question. Did the SV-51 get a nickname in Macross Zero?

    Why would you have the tan marks of a swimsuit if you where a bikini? I don't get it. Anime magic I guess... I wish they would make the other characters from Walkure Romanze. Not the guy!

    Any idea why this suit is in the RE/100 line? With the Nightingale I had the impression that it was too big for a MG so they decided to reduce the complexity to make it happen. The Mk. III seems to have a standard size for a Gundam. Is it not as popular in Japan this not selling the units to make a MG profitable?

    I'm asking because it could be that the part is mis-molded. I have this problem on my YF-29 where one of the hip armors will not sit flush because something went wrong when the part was molded. Maybe it was yanked out of the mold not fast enough (or too fast) causing this problem. I have no idea if this is possible so this might not be the problem. So if you try to push the top part down do you feel resistance?
  20. Scyla
    Hm... have you already transformed it correctly into Fighter-Mode or was it that way right out of the box?

    So first deliberate guess since I have not handled my VF-22S in a while. Is this clip snapped in. I can spot a difference there between the left and the right side. Here is a third video maybe this also helps:

    Thanks for the heads up. I will see how the Apollyon is coming together but I have almost zero interest in unofficial Transformers if there is a high probability that Takara will release the original character (as a collector toy). Also most of those toys don't get the head sculpt right imho where Takara has a good track record. Maybe with the exception of MP Bumble but he is pretty small where the paint on the face softens the hard edges. I'm also not 100% on board with Ultra Magnus head sculpt but maybe it will look good in hands. I can't wait for MP-22.

    Optibotimus reviewed the MP-05G. This is the first time I saw this toy transform and I have to say the transformation is pretty cool. However I would much appreciate a renewal gun Megatron in scale with MP-10. Maybe inspired by the ToyWorld Hegemon with proper legs and a properly sized gun. If Takara could pull of a robot mode that looks like this: with this face I would be very happy. I doesn't even need to have an accurate gun mode but it has to look the part in robot mode with the ability to transform into a P38-ish gun.

    I'm much more interested in a Red and Blue Frame.
