    Someone over at TFW mentions that the shoulder hinge of Magnus is kinda scary with the backstory of Kobayashi designing MP-09 a toy which is prone for self destruction.

    You're right, it is even more disturbing.

    The position of the bullet on the Sheryl image is disturbing.

    Can please someone explain to me why the inner lower legs are red? I don't get it. The trailer bed should be red according to most of the animation but it is not on the toy because then the tights shouldn't be white. So it is not animation accurate to begin with and it looks absolutely terrible in robot mode. In addition all the animation shows him with blue lower legs and white shin guards and not read. I don't get it at all. I'm still getting him.

    But they have waist articulation. I think Magnus could have waist articulation in the hip. Similar to the crotch of the YF-30 or upper torso articulation. I don't see how a joint at the actual waist could exist.

    Perfect Transformation no less.

    Did you picked up the DVDs or the BluRay? Depending on where you live the default region code of your drives might be different than the one from Japan. You should be able to tell the drive what kind of region code you want to use. Here is some point of reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Region_codes Hope that helps.

    I think it would be cool if the arms where located in between the engine nacelles. For Transformation the nacelles could split in half and be re-combined when the transformation is finished.

    Wasn't there an argument about the red color of the VF-19 Kai Yamato had with Kawamori. I think it went like this that the guys at Yamato that the hue prototype color was exactly the red from the animation and Kawamori answered that this is not the color it has in his mind. If this true I think that the highlights are exactly painted in the colors Kawamori envisioned.

    I wonder how this is possible. Isn't the Black Series from Hasbro in the same scale? Regardless this looks great even of the necks of the Storm Troopers look a bit long. Is it confirmed that those are S.H.Figuarts toys and not model kits? If this is true I only wished Bandai would get the Street Fighter license from the SquareEnix toy department and produces Street Fighter Figurarts. They could even call it S.F.Figuarts. Troop Building!

    The question I have is where are the arms? I'm interested to see what comes out of this idea.

    I have to apologize in advance for the next sentence so..... I agree that it would be not feasible to redesign the ankles for the VF-19 mold but I'm still baffled why the YF-19 from Arcadia has the same problems that are present and well known on the VF-19 from Yamato.

    I think Skyfire is an ungrateful design that really needs some effort to be rendered in toy form. Especially in the Masterpiece scale. The characters is a huge white hulk with a huge red backpack.For his size he needs tons of details and functions hammered into this alt from. I think an approach like Bandai took with their recent MG and RG kits would work quite well. Things like different shades of white/gray plating for the hull, a frame visible underneath the white. Imaginative joint work with moving parts. The backpack should have cockpit detailing and an opening canopy. As eriku mentioned over at TFW the backpack should transform into its own spaceship like on some of the Gundam Seed mecha. Recessed and movable thrusters would also help. I know it is walking the razors edge to get an interesting toy out of that that is still true to the design of Skyfire that the fans want. As much as I would like a great Skyfire in scale with my other Masterpiece Transformers I think it is not possible without some artistic freedom for the designers. It also would cost a bunch of money to get him. Much more than the $165 price point of Chronos

    Red inner legs???? *flips table* *sigh* That pronounces the gaps in the lower legs even more with three colors there. At least the thighs are white but with the lower legs in red it even looks more inconsistence to me. Oh well, I have no hopes in improvements from Takara but lets see what comes out of it in the next month.

    Seems like the Disney Chogokin mecha was a great success.
  16. Scyla
    Yeah, they help me get through the day.

    I assume the DX toy has the color scheme it has because it is line-art accurate and this model-kit is not. Even the box for Bandais YF-25 kit has the same color scheme than the DX toy. The paint-job is also accurate to the screen caps Master of Macross provided. Not to ditch the talented model builder but to me it seems that this image that was posted continually in this thread is more likely to be an interpretation of the actual color scheme.

    Might be possible. You should check the FaQs on the CD Japan site and contact their customer support which is available in English I believe.

    It has a new hat..... I mean head. That looks pretty good..... I feel the urge of having one getting stronger and stronger.

    I think someone said the take the money immediately when paying with PayPal. If you order with credit card as payment method they will claim the money when the item is ready to ship. This is what is written on their website: Source: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/faq/faq_credit_debit_cards

    It would be nice to have a Valkyrie from Bandai with a camo-pattern.... They do have a camo pattern right? This is not some kind of shading thing?
  23. Scyla
    To be fair my VF-25S, G and YF-29 had super loose hip joints out of the box so it might not be due to the fact that they are second hand items.

    They included two additional pieces to attach the Yamato Fold Booster to the Arcadia YF-19. The colors of the pieces seem to match the color of the booster. Since I don't have one I can't say for sure though.

    I'm waiting for FansToys offering. To much stuff is released until August.
