  1. Precisely. You get the sense the figure has no gerwalk mode but rather that someone gave up halfway through the transformation process.
  2. Half the 19's gerwalk issues are kawamor's fault. The 19's gerwalk is terrible even in the line art. I do agree that Yamato could have done better though.
  3. The 1/48 LowVis DID languish on store shelves. It was a long time before it sold out and then eventually became a collector's item. The Low Vis VF-1S Focker is just a darker version of a canon scheme... I'm pretty sure that's exactly because of what stinkers the 1/48 LV, LVII, and Stealth were for Yamato. If you want a non-canon scheme maybe you'll get a Hikaru VF-1J LV that's a dark gray but I'm pretty sure the reason Yamato keeps releasing "no paint" versions is so that people can make their own non-canon schemes because Yamato doesn't want to risk getting burned by them. Maybe Yamato will prove me wrong though.
  4. I am cool with how the normal CTS-V sedan looks, it's pretty manly. That Hennessy coupe though is is too manly... like a huge female body builder.
  5. All non-canon schemes sell poorly.
  6. Anymoon.com has a review with lots of pics as well.
  7. Yes, they sold weathered 1/60 Super Parts at one point.
  8. And when the shoulder breaks off your Yamato version the first time you transform it, what then? EDIT: Nevermind, I know, wait for a revised second release!
  9. I don't believe they ever made a painted prototype of the Fuke. Beagle is dead... the best we could hope for now would probably be a WonderFest conversion kit of the Beagle toys to the Fuke or Yellow variants.
  10. Did Yamato steal Mr. March's colored line art?
  11. Yes, the strike parts are weathered. I'd guess 500 as the value since its 1 of 100 iirc.
  12. For those of you who don't visit anymoon every day like you're supposed to, here's a color comparison pic of the two different types of fast packs:
  13. Boom goes the dynamite.
  14. And apparently an unpainted VF-1D right?
  15. The problem with the the SDF-1 TV version's wider appeal outside of Japan is that that appeal is negated by things like ignorance of toys only released in Japan, unwillingness or apprehension related to purchasing gray market international goods, fear of purchasing unsupported goods with substantial MSRPs, and issues of similar natures. This is compounded by the SDF-1's natural lack of demand caused by its being a ship and not a fighter. I still would LOVE a TV SDF-1 but I understand it's unlikely. I guess with the new VF-17 toy, new VF-19 toys, and a VF-4 in the works Yamato is in no rush.
  16. That's pretty shameful product placement
  17. My next VOTOMS review is up! Check it out on anymoon Teaser pic... guess that toy!
  18. I hear Mospeada has been replaying on some Japanese television channels and has ticked up the value of some Mospeada items in Japan. I can't validate that but that's what I was told. Maybe some momentum will build for more Mospeada stuff?
  19. If yamato stops making vf1 toys or accessories or reissues the only explanation would be a new version of the vf1 is in the works... I think we have a couple years... just my guess.
  20. Who says they won't be selling more in the future? As long as the line is alive there's a chance.
  21. None of his sounds remotely Prometheus related. This discussion should be in the top gun 2 thread.
