Wow-I've not seen those forever!!

Which old-timer is getting out of collecting!? LOL

You'll need to share some more pics of those when you can

 

Will be on display…

Looking for them... as in you misplaced them or looking for them as you sought out the person that made them and was able to buy them? 

Looking to purchase. 

Was fortunate enough to have the same buyer holding both.

So happy right now.

After so many years spent looking for these, they are finally here.

These actually belong to a customizer named Ricky Mui out of Hong Kong. He’s very talented.

You can find him on the “1/55 VF-1 Valkyrie Museum and Archive” FB page.

I gotta admit they do stand in well. A little oversized but look good overall.

Anasazi’s gun is also a great alternative. I like sleeker no-scope look.

Great to see this thread is still going all these years later.

    Like my brain, the collection has gathered dust over the years...

Nice collection.

Pretty details. I still don’t understand why Bandai decided not to do this in the first place.

Is Jolly Roger Roundel still swappable?

Yammie / Arcadia's Fire Valk have pretty perfect proportions in Battroid. Mine has been in storage since the day I got it, so I'll live vicariously through others' pics. Nice!

 

 

You might want to take it out and check the biceps. I opened this just to play with it and discovered both arms with damage at the double joint.

I was able to repair them but it was disappointing to discover this. 

You might want to check.

The details are sooo exquisite!

Can hardly wait to get this.

The VF-19 was one of Yamato's best releases. 

Love your clear in-focus shots! 

Thanks.

Very cool detail of vertical thrusters.

Hahaha!

Second time today that I quote myself.
 

Looks like those thruster ports are ill placed.

Nice pose.

Thanks. I then started to use a Yamato Stand to create a different approach.

This thing is on fire with pose abilities.

There's a chance it will be shown today or tomorrow.

I really hope they do.

Did we ever get pictures at TN2023?

I am anxious to see how it compares with the original Yamato mold.

I recall seeing this similar type of set up for that particular detail. I just can’t remember where. 

Years ago I was going through as many details available to determine all the correct differences between TV and DYRL types. The vertical bar details seemed to be mostly on model kit art, but this one really stood out to me as it was from a line art drawing. Just can’ t place the location at moment.

But then again I could have my wires crossed. 

I’ve been looking for this detail FOREVER. Not exactly what I drew (no pun intended) from memory.

Hahaha. I had to quote myself just to be sure my mind wasn’t going and making stuff up.

😜 

And now we wait for the VE-1…

Not the same characters.

Wish Bandai also do a Joons homage...

 

 

 

 

Hahaha!

Nope.

Nah. Once AI figures how transforms our VFs for us, we will be obsolete. No need for gloves, mask, suits, special rooms, etc. 😜

oh.....so I'm the only one that uses Chogokin gloves?

😛

Hahaha!

what about a DX face mask to prevent us from heavily breathing onto our DX figures during strenuous and delicate transformations.

Yes!!!

The other two in sound force look like half-baked 3D prints with no engineering.

I was about to say the same thing. Damn, I got way too excited. These could end up as vaporware.
