    That's why I'm afraid of buying anything Gundam related from Bandia (especially the Perfect Grade Gunpla and the Fix Configuration/Metal Build Gundams). I fear that they might spoil me for my Valkyrie/Toy collection. The Robot Damashii on my desk already disturbs me. He can bend his arm deeply.

    There where some other combinations in a Japanese magazine for the rest of the V1s. Like the Armored Tornado and such things.

    Bringing MacrossJunkie's weathered YF-29 to a duel is not a fair game man! I for myself preferred the 30th Anniversary over the Alto at release but I have to say that the red on the Alto looks great. Maybe they do a reissue some day.

    I know how you feel. Every time I handle him I think why don't the knees bend more, why is the arm movement so limited; all I want is Convoy holding his gun with two hands. But he looks good standing heroic on the shelf looking pretty and it is a fun toy to play around with. Maybe I'm just a spoiled child. It eases the pain a bit that I only have the black version. I think if I've bought the regular release I would be disappointed.

    True but you can mod the leg armor to fit onto the Renewal Valkyries.

    Yeah he gets all sad and stuff.

    There is more to it than that since the different units have different chest plates and backs to accommodate the different heads. Also the VG-25G has a different gun mount than the other four VF-25s

    As long as I get credited for it....

    Since the VF-171 was retrofitted to the lanky design of the Frontier show (opposed to chunky design of the VF-17 from Macross 7) it makes me wonder how a VF-191 (so to speak) would've looked like.

    Thank you for your reply Jenius. I understand the reasons behind not breaking them up in different posts I just wanted to express my thoughts that I had when I saw that you had your Anniversario video up read through the article on anymoon.com. Keep up the excellent work and I'm looking forward to the Focker review since this will be my first VF-1 V2 Toy in my collection from Yamato..... no Arcadia.... eh: stuff is complicated.
  11. Scyla
    I know those guys. Saw them yesterday in the telly!

    True, but I prefer the VF-25G Tornado because the color pallet and distribution blends the Tornado Part in much better with the core Messiah. The gray on Alto is just off-putting for me. In general I think the parts are two bulky. They look two big and blunt not. They don't match up with the fine lines and angles of the Frontier design and look like something that belongs to a VF-18 from Macross 7. I've never seen any line-art from the first Frontier movie so I can't say how accurate the first DX toys where. In addition I never held a V1 Tornado Messiah in hands but I feel that it would look much better if all the parts where scaled down a little bit. Like making the delta wings a bit thinner, the lasers on the back a bit smaller, the VTOL narcelles not as bulky, and so on and so on. All this blends in very nicely on the YF-29 the VF-25 just looks a bit chubby. I also wished if the VTOL engines could fold away in Battroid-Mode to make a sleeker body. It is just a massive backpack! Other than that make one for the Renewals Bandai. I beg you!

    Good review. I would love to see a transformation video for the VF-1 line from you. For me you should have done a new review for the Arcadia releases. First it is from a new company. Second the review is already a bit cluttered because it includes so many variants. I don't know if your planning on a Arcadia VF-1 review but if you do and add it to the Yamato one I feel that it would be information overkill (for me at least it would). But baggers can't be choosers right? Oh and every time I read the term Anniversario Super Mario is in my mind yelling: "ANNIVERSARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Then he goes away rescuing Princess Toadstool.
  14. Scyla
    Much appreciated. The Renewals are a close match to the 1/72 kits so I can draw my conclusions from that.

    You never know how much they can improve until you see the new product. Maybe they have some new ideas about the way the legs are being moved into their position (the VF-0 had the same die-cast leg bar than the VF-1 V2 no?). Also maybe they do the Reactive Armor and need to redo the mold so it can be attached. As a new company Arcadia needs some solid first releases.

Also maybe they do the Reactive Armor and need to redo the mold so it can be attached. As a new company Arcadia needs some solid first releases. so they make enough money to justify new and risky developments such as the VF-9, VF-5000. As I said before on the board I would love to see a VF-1 V3 instead of a straight reissue with some of the features of Bandais model kit version. Maybe with a cockpit that can transform too. To bring this post back on track (somehow). The Macross Plus line can be improved. For the YF-21 I can see an integrated,swappable canopy cover, transformable legs and collapsible backpack to make them more line-art accurate in Gerwalk- and Battroid-Mode, and better concealed feet in Fighter-Mode in addition to the obvious stuff like lockable landing gear and wings. The VF-11 can be tweaked too. Maybe they can make the chest more recessed and make the whole Battroid-Mode more dynamic looking but I guess a reissue would be ok.
  16. Scyla
    Can someone who is planning on building these kits make comparison shots with the Bandai DX (both versions)?
  17. Scyla
    Ok now that I placed a preorder I have the right to complain about this toy. So let the nitpicking begin! I don't like the lover leg swivel. It is the same that the VF-19 had and it just looks like it's a cut up figure not a high end toy. I don't understand why the sliders for the leg are black and not tan on the one hand I think that a pure tan underbelly of the plane would look good and on the other hand it is a nice highlight. Other that that... it looks great.

    I think Bandai doesn't send out replacement parts they only replace the whole unit. So I doubt that HLJ will be able to send you parts because they don't get them from Bandai. The breakage comes from a bad batch of plastic I assume. So for replacement parts that don't crumble again Bandai has to produce a new parts with new plastic. Loosening the screws on the parts (shoulder block and smaller triangles) and taking off the shoulder pauldrons while transforming it might help a great deal in the preservation of those parts.

    I've paid for mine but I'm not sure if I dig it. The promo shots where much more pleasing (yeah I know I shouldn't take them for granted) but I had the same experience with the VF-171 and now I love the NUNS CF so maybe that will change with the SMS CF in the same way. Regardless of what I think of it I still need the toy to salvage it for spare parts. The hip bar will go on my Alto and the painted stand on my YF-29 30th Anniversary.
  20. Scyla
    So does that mean no MP Galvatron from Takara in the next decade? I didn't like what Unique Toys did with their Predaking interpretation so even if i would love to have a Galvatron figure this is not for me until I saw a dozen reviews on this thing.

    If this goes live I might be in. I still have the original OVA on VHS. Even a numbered version of episodes 7 and 8. It has a special white chase with an AD-police logo on it. But I don't know if it came close to a magnet or what but the quality went down the drain very quickly. It was my first Anime that I bought though so it has a special place in my heart. Does anyone know if Animeigo has problems with shipping outside of the states due to licensing issues? Or if it will be region coded?
  22. Scyla
    The color coding is easy to paint if you're able to mix a matching color. The difficult part are the squadron markings since the CF unit has a different number then Michaels plane.
  23. Scyla
    Strange. Have to check my email account for an invoice. There was nothing yesterday and nothing inside the spam folder....
  24. Scyla
    Isn't the SDF-1 missing in this list or does the 7 + 1 rule only count for Valkyries?
  25. Scyla
    I loosened my shoulders as well. The shoulder block itself and the parts that hold the small concealing triangles. My shoulders don't have a cracked yet but one of the pieces that sits between the two shoulder triangles developed a fissure right through the U. I have no plan where that comes from. *shrug*
