Geez, I didn't realize just how out of whack the VF-25 toy is. I always thought the head was weird looking, and now that people have pointed out exactly what's wrong, I'm just not as impressed. It's funny how toy makers can really nail the detail and shape of each separate piece, but they screw up on something as important as the head, and then mess up on the overall proportions (like the legs attaching to the hips way to high and the shoulders being too wide).

Dude, is this subbed?

Amazing; it seems these things will finally be released.

I think you're right. I think the slight change in distance between the lasers actually makes a huge difference visually. Good catch there.

As much as I want to want it, I know the wheels won't spin and the forearm/fork area will probably be messed up, and certain pieces in bike mode won't lock tight.

Sweet! I hope they don't touch the music, because it's my all time favorite game soundtrack. It's pretty much a must-buy for me. Now they need to do Secret of Mana (since Children of Mana kinda sucked) and the Mother games.

Thanks guys! Wow, that is incredible.

I'd want a new style 1/60 VF-1 with fast packs. You can't beat the VF-1, and the new 1/60 looks best in all modes. And might as well have fast packs. If I had to pick, I'd take a 1J.

A nicer way to say it would be "chubby and old," but damn, it's true. I didn't know just how much Reba West really looks like Minmay...not DYRL or FB2112 Minmay, but definitely SDFM Minmay.

That's true. I was actually just thinking about how good the CM ride armor looked in photos, but when you get in in hand, its wheels don't even spin and its front fork section is a total mess. And don't even get me started on the windshield or Ray's version with the energy cannon that doesn't work at all in bike mode. I wonder what disappointing surprises the Beagle will bring us. Also, the CM ride armor looks pretty spot-on proportion wise, while the CM Legioss is completely deformed. Point being, a company can make a good looking Ride Armor and an ugly Legioss. But hope springs eternal!

Well, we can bombard them with money and see what happens. But yeah, these guys need to make a Legioss and Tread.

My heart just went pitter-patter. That thing is damn gorgeous.

Not that I know of, but a June release is not looking so likely.

I think a Robotech movie could work if they got Shinji Aramaki to design the mecha (because Nue prolly wouldn't do it) and Itano to direct the fight choreography and direction. Of course that will never happen, because it would rock too much.

Subpar? Really? What don't you like about it?

I'm right there with you. The wait on this toy will kill me. I passed on the 1/48 even though the VF-1 is my favorite design ever, but this new 1/60 valk wins in every way the 1/48 fails. And I want it now. IT'S MY VALKYRIE AND I NEED IT NOW!

Aww, that's no fun.

Sweet butt-raping Jesus, the 1/60 is perfect. Perfect! I might have to buy an extra one from whatever store will get it to me fastest.

Wow, the DX VF-25 is looking pretty damn good. No complaints here.

What? The VF-4 has fast packs? Holy crap. I've never seen that picture before! Yes. I'd buy it, fast packs or no. Just as longs as it look as good as the 1/60 YF-21 or VF-1. I love the VF-4, especially the fighter mode.

Yes, finally some news. It looks great, just needs some tread on those tires. Hopefully after this, Beagle will do more Mospeada mecha.

My thoughts exactly. I love me some old-school valks.

Nice work Bandai! Do we have any info on what head and color variations will be released? The "hero" valk is not my favorite, I might wait for the blue one if they make it.
