    Nice pictures. I do have a question however. Can you explain to me what the difference are between Metal Build, Metal Composite and Fixed Figuration Gundams? I see these term floating around all the time over Gundam toys/model kits and I couldn't really figure out what this is all about. it looks great though. Maybe I should check one out someday.

    I'd love so see someone to do an update of the hip-bar on the renewals because I broke one on my VF-25F and need replacement. This talented lad could beef up the ball-part of this joint so it will not be floppy anymore. You can print pieces made out of metal powder over at Shapeways so you don't lose the Gokin part of the toy. Veef to the rescue!

    Ok I know this is pointless posting during the PS4 release and not talking about the PS4 but I need to release some steam (no pun intended). I recently finished GTA V and thought I should give GTA IV a try since I never finished it. So I installed it and started the game.... ...but no. I need do connect do Rockstar Social Club which I didn't know my email address and password because I used it like four years ago the last time. After a bit of trying I managed to log into the Social Club tried to run the game again and then... ...I need to log into Games for Windows Live (WTF). Same deal as before no idea about the email address nor the password. I assumed it was the same as the stupid sign in before because I signed in for that (is it allowed to swear on the board?) at the same time as I did for the Rockstar crap. So after a bit of trial and error I managed to log in into my awesome Windows Live account and thought I might be able to play the game... .... but I can't because it still wants to update this account / reinstall GTA IV / accept the new ToS in a random order some steps several times and after like 45 minutes that felt like 450 I finally... ... decided to leave this crap alone. Seriously I paid for this game. I think it would be easier to play GTA IV when I downloaded it from a torrent that scraped all this nonsense from the game. Now I'm thinking if I should give my SNES a shot because there I only need to pop the cartridge into the system and switch it on.... !"§$!§"!°&!§"!°"§%&!"§$&&/$§% Thanks for reading. PS: Yeah I know there might be some fix that I can look up on the Internet but I'm really not in the mood at the moment.

    Not helping because a glossy toy came out of that prototype.
  5. Scyla
    To be honest all of the black test shots I know of where glossy. Here is an image of the VF-4G prototype: Looks glossy to me and the final product was matte so draw your conclusions from that.

    Also they have to do gold chrome if the rest of their dinosaurs transforming toys. They had some die-cast in their Quakewave figure (which I didn't like because it looks so bland) but I'm not sure they can make the chrome work. To my knowledge it is very hard do make a good chromed piece that is shiny, flawless and durable. I also agree that they should either make them in scale with Grimlock or make their own. The leg blocks are kinda ugly. I think if they hat various parts included with the different figures that make MP Grimlock better that would be great. Like two articulated hands (they offered a set where you could do something along that lines for Quakewave) or a sword and gun in the style of the one shown in their images for Gimlock. Now that I think about if. If the leg blocks can stay attached while transforming Grimlock they would be decent. To look good they have to match the color and the plastic perfectly based on MP Grimlock which is a hard thing to do.

    I guess after thee different companies making thee different not Predakings (with rumors about a fourth one from WST) I shouldn't be surprised that there are two companies that making a not Skyfire. I like the fancy color schemes of the transformers and I don't think that MP-11 would make a convincing fighter especially not from the rear. The Kawamori Starstream was a good idea but needed some refinement. I feel that Takara went in the wrong direction with MP-11.

    Is this Warbottron company that is making the Warbottron a new company or have they any affiliations with another third party company? Any information that goes further than that? The silhouette looks like the Daka Toys interpretation of Skyfire. So if this is true why is it showing up on a FansToys promo picture. The other possibility would be that FansToys is making their own Skyfire but still why is it on a promo for two dinosaurs that turn into robots. If the silhouette on the right is not the FoC Swoop right? Could you elaborate on that a bit?

    Ok so apparently you can pull the canopy out a bit (like an outward movement away from the body) and it will stay open. The deal is I have a VF-22S and the canopy on this Valkyrie won't stay open no matter what I try. And I certainly don't want do break my precious. Captain Max would be desperately disappointed. So I don't know if you have the standard problem with the canopy that some here on the board have or if you got a bum one like me. Try to move the canopy a bit and see if you can get it to stay open. Just be very cautious so you don't break anything.

    So I placed a order for the Gundam 00 with hlj and they first said restock in October then in November not it says December. I have no problem to wait for it but now I did some research on Master Grade Gunpla and with every day I think I should cancel the 00 and order a Nu Gundam Ver. Ka. The reasons are the following. The kit has almost no polycaps and I would love to have a Gundam that does not rely on those. The Nu Gundam looks more like a classic Gundam design with a shield, the hyper bazooka and the beam sabers. I'm not sure if I like Gunpla building so shouldn't be the one Gundam I build something that looks like one. I like the black color better then the blue but I don't like yellow so I guess this is a draw between the Nu and the 00. I really like the Sazabi design so if I like building it and wand to build more the with Chars mecha I would have a nice complete collection of a Gundam series no? I'm curious to know what you think about that and if you have any advice. Thanks

    The silhouette looks like him but why is he in the frame? The Kronos is not made by FansToys. I thought the most logical solution would be that FansToys is making the Dinobots to accommodate MP Grimlock because the guy on the right looks like a Pterodactyl. Weird they're asking 200 bucks for it hm..... I like their Quakewave and it would be nice if this fits with MP Grimlock.
  12. Scyla
    Don't worry I'm sure something else comes around that you can order while you build the first Messiah and post awesome pictures here on the board.

    The blocks where the shoulder piece is attached to the main body are definitely not black. Maybe my monitor is playing tricks on my. Do you think it has the same color as the wings?
  14. Scyla
    That is sweet. HasTak will probably not allow Fanoys to make a MP sized not-Grimlock right? RIGHT? I wonder if the will have chrome on them. One question: where is the forth member of the Dinobots in this picture?
  15. Scyla
    I think NY sent out their invoices a bit overeagerly. The VF-171EX Super Parts had the 25th of December last year. They where also a Tamashii Web exclusive. I assume the release date for the YF-29 will be similar (like late December).
  16. Scyla
    Probably not but if this isn't the time to look for reasons not to spend 300 bucks on that beauty by hitting the panic button like crazy then I don't know what to think about this community.
  17. Scyla
    I know that avatar very well because you never change it. When I fist saw that image I thought it was the Sheryl Nome Special Edition of the Koenig Monster. But I remember an image of the VF-19 from Yamato that had also the some pink parts where the rest was black. Don't know exactly what parts are black specifically that's why I ask. I find it weird that only the shoulders are pink.
  18. Scyla
    If there is some way that prevents the wing from sliding out completely out of the glove (like shown in the picture) it should be fine. Hopefully they can achieve that. I'm thinking of a channel where the wing can move along in the wing root. Another thing the test shot shows the wing swing exposed in Battroid-Mode (on the other wing). hopefully this is only a tolerance issue. I don't like how the wing touches the ground. That looks suspicious!
  19. Scyla
    Regarding the test shot. Does the pink color indicate that this part is made out of metal? Or is it just that color for no specific reason? I have a hard time to imagine that there is not metal in the elbow joints for example.
  20. Scyla
    Don't you like the tan and black color with the pink highlights?
  21. Scyla
    Be patient. My order of the VF-17 Super Parts needed almost three weeks from angolz. Not counting the two weeks before that where they canceled my first try to order the parts because it was entirely my fault that the form for the credit card data was in Chinese and I couldn't read anything.
  22. Scyla
    Hit the Panic Button! The wings won't stay in place because of the High-Speed Mode feature.
  23. Scyla
    They do. In fact NY should already sending out invoices. I'm very curious if they changed the drones in some shape or form.
  24. Scyla
    Your YF-25 will be based on a Luca Custom so you have a radar dish and elint fin lying around. That is actually a good idea. Any ideas how you solve the problem that the fin is bumping into the backpack when in Battroid-Mode?
  25. Scyla
    You know Alto had his own squad of white VF-171EX Nightmare Plus Valkyries. You should buy two more VF-171 Alto custom with the add-on set and paint the red stripes gray. Oh and don't forget they don't use the full Armor Parts only the beam gun and the missile launcher on the arms (and the under wing missiles).
