    He has a skull as a face mask so he must be a badass. And Mikey has tribal tattoos on his shoulder so he must be uber-cool. *sigh* why are Hollywood people so unimaginative. On the other hand my 14 year old me would be all over this costume. As a side note I really wished Figma or S.H.Figuarts would release a Shredder that looks like the one from the original TMNT television show.

    I have to agree with David. Where are those gray stripes? Other than that I would like to know how Gerwalk-Mode compares to the old YF-19, the VF-19 and this regarding the range of movement of the Gerwalk-joints and the knee-joints. From the latest prototype image it seems to be like the VF-19 rather than the YF-19. I'm too lazy to transform my VF-19S and check it so I cannot say this for certain.

    Vf-1D vs. VT-1

    Chunky Monkey reissue?

    I'm still hoping that the two other schemes will be the VF-1A Kakizaki and VF-1S Max so I can finish off my white DYRL squad.

    No problem. If someone sends a question to Mr. K over Twitter can you forward the question if there are covers for the holes in the hinges where the shoulders swing outward? [edit:] Never mind. They seem to covers on the previous prototypes.

    It looks like a super-sized Botshots Transformer

    I was referring to the VF-19S Excalibur not the prototype.

    As much as I would love to have a (matte) Super VF-19S (with a tinted canopy) I can't see a way to fit the Super Parts onto the existing Valkyrie. Especially the legs doesn't seem to be able to accept the Super Parts without a redesign.

    Does Ozmas YF-29 have head lasers on top of head lasers? I really like the red arrows on the chest piece. They are a good looking highlight.

    The real question is not if this fires bullets or not. The real question is: does it transform?

    Since Bandai seems to pump out new Frontier items I cannot see them doing the Valkyries but maybe the scored some kind of deal for the boosters. However I hope the toy comes with covers for the holes because they look ugly and I'm not planning to display it with the Frontier add-ons.

    Can someone explain what's up with the new shipping method that Nippon Yasan is promoting lately? It is called Transi Logistic and seems to be a European Union thing only. Has anyone experience with this? They also claim to be able to deliver without custom fess legally.

    You can rotate the tip of the stand I know that but I would rather have a stand where the stand is always under the toy itself. It just looks better and I have a better feeling displaying it like that. Frankly I really like the Bandai stands that come with the Renewal VFs. They might look ugly but you don't have to take the plane apart to mount it because attaching the Fighter-Mode piece on the VF-1 is just scary. And why is the gun-pod of the VF-1 so damn close to the connector piece? I don't want to display it with the gun-pod attached because either it is under pressure of the stand piece or it is angled. It is a good stand but it has just too many issue that let me scratch my head. I still like to touch it once and a while because the plastic feels so good. Don't say anything I know it is creepy.

    The question is why is the "regular" VF-19 from M7 a F and the "regular" VF-17 a D? Did something happen during the development of the VF-19 that lead to more variants of the Excalibur?
  15. Scyla
    Does this picture indicate that the panel in front of the canopy is painted black (the one that scratches easily on the 30th Anniversary) or is it only a shadow cast by the Valkyrie? If it is painted does that mean Bandai will cast the piece in white and paint it black just because they are evil. On a second thought the nosecone could be cast in black plastic and painted white because I don't see any other white parts. Hm strange I really like the white nosecone as a highlight. I'm sure it will look good in Battroid-Mode too.

    I just had an idea. And because this is the Internet and I'm totally self centered I have to share it even if you don't care about it. Arcadia make me an Aquarion that can transform and can stand up! Show Bandai how to design this toy like a boss! Seriously I would buy it.... ....probably!

    Now that I had time to fiddle with the toy a bit more I really see some lost potential in the stand. I still love how the pieces of the stand feel when I handle them but I have some thoughts how the stand would be better. 1. Make the base a bit longer so you can sink the main strut of the arm into the middle of the base which would create sort of a launch deck of an aircraft carrier. The support strut can be stored in the compartments so it is all neat and tidy. 2. Add an additional joint in front of the connection to the support strut so that the plane can roll. It could be as simple as the piece where the stand adapter attaches to. Maybe beef it up a bit so the toy is save. 3. Add an additional rotation joint int the main arm behind the connector of the support strut so that we can pose the Valkyrie as it launches with a steep ascent from the deck of the carrier. I have it display in a way where the main arm is hanging off the other and of the base and the support strut fills in the gab in the middle to fake the look of a flight deck but I like my stands as I like my transforming toys: sleek, self-contained and intricate. [edit:] I have to add that the base looks like a dustpan right now and I don't like that.

    Yeah I know this one but after looking at it several times I still cannot imagine what the head looks like.
  19. Scyla
    I like the Human Alliance toys and the ROTF Leader Class Prime. I still have them even if they don't fit into my collection anymore. The transformation of the ROTF Prime is one of the best I've ever seen on a toy.

    I actually like the dark blue tint of the clear parts. They go well with the color of the Valkyrie. However I would liked it even more because as it seems the lights in the wing roots are purple. Regarding the head I think it looks like the chin area is similar to the turret on the VF-25S and it has some kind of visor where the "eyes" are. We need definitely more images of the head turret. [edit:] I don't know how I feel about the pale yellow SMS signs. I think I would prefer the orange yellow from the VF-25. It could be the same color because if I remember correctly the one on the Ozmas plane was a bit lighter then the rest of them. I can't check on mine because it is covered in armor.
  21. Scyla
    Wasn't this the Prime shown on an image from a toy show? I mean since than it was pretty clear that it would be a giant shellformer with lots of kibble everywhere.
  22. Scyla
    True, but I would rather have the YF-30 than Ozmas YF-29. However what I heard from the Isamu release of the Durandal Bandai tighten up the mold so I might order one if I can get a preorder in. The market seems to be cooled down a but after the last regular release but it's Ozma so you never know.
  23. Scyla
    If this is released in May does that indicate that the YF-30 will be sold much later this year? I honestly thought the YF-30 would be next.

    Well something must be clearly wrong with kids those days. I remember when I was a kid I was always bummed out when the transformation was too simple or when they could not get in the poses on the box. I had a few of the Menasor limbs and I was not pleased that the arms can only rotate 90 degrees. So I think it is a good thing that I don't collect any Transformers toy lines except the Takara Masterpieces and some third party stuff. I'm sure that Mr. Goldner knows what he's doing. On the other hand I just finished a 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle and I can tell for sure that it was much more complex that any of my transforming toys. [edit: ] Now I have to search for the corresponding thread on TFW2005 and see what the reasonable people over there have to say about that.
  25. Scyla
    I find it curious why only TFSource and BBTS seem to stock the MP Grimlock. None of the other etailers I checked (and know off) have this release. So I second that: Not sure what's up with that.
