    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Yeah, I just bought a model kit last night that'll cost ~$100 once it ships (which is no $900, but still ), and I could've used this coupon and gotten it State-side for ~$75. Oh well, there's other things I can still use it for.

    As long as you don't lay it on super thick, you should be fine to still transform it. I don't know if those who've actually clear-coated their Valks have any specific tips, but some general tips: - Don't use on clear plastic. Whether you're using a flat, gloss, whatever finish, they will actually cause clear plastic to fog up. I and others have used clear floor polish on canopies and it works really well. - If you can, disassemble the toy somewhat to get better coverage. - Figure out which areas don't need top coating and mask them off. I'm thinking of Gerwalk joints specifically, since they usually don't have any important surface details (and recede into the legs anyway), and any top coat will only gunk up the joints making them stiffer (though that may be a good thing, depending).

    One of the games announced is "Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido." "-do" uses the kanji 道, meaning "the way." The subtitle is literally "The way of the way of sushi."

    I'm pretty sure I've asked this before and it's been answered before, but the Arcadia VF-1 is just a re-release of the Yamato VF-1 V2, right?

    Could also be explained away as mutations.Even if they're using cloning tech, that many clones across that many generations is bound to have a glitch or two or five hundred.

    She's three years old. (I will never be able to let that go...)

    You mean the Clash of the Bionoids outfits.

    I don't really know the scale range of Figma/Figuarts figures. How tall are they on average, and how tall is this?

    Turns out I do have a Bandai VF-31F. Huh. Anyway, I took a couple pics illustrating fit issues. As I suspected, the hole in the pod is slightly too big for the 3mm peg. Easy enough to fix with tape, glue, etc. Apologies for the phone camera as always. The speaker pod:

    Whoa, I didn't even know this existed! Definitely gonna have to search for one myself now. Congrats on the vacation and the HMR. That Juri, though... I didn't like her when she first came out, but the artwork and figures of her have won me over handily. I really wish they'd bring back that costume for SFV.

    G Gundam went from the absolute bottom of my list as a kid to tippity top as I grew up.

    ^ Um... que?

    The TG3 gets the same contrivance, losing its railgun from one battle to the next. You can assume that when it lands on Earth the Preventers re-prep it, but none of the Gundams have facilities on Earth (or in space, now I think about it) to accomplish the same feat. I know you're supposed to suspend your disbelief, but on this particular point I never could, even at 12.

    Got my alt pods in the mail today. @Sanity is Optional, you weren't kidding about the fine details on the shell pieces! I'm glad that snafu with them happened that forced me to go with FUD. A head's up for modelers: Both @Sanity is Optional's missile pod and @Xigfrid's speaker pod have holes designed to accept the pegs on the 1/60 DXes' central rotating platform. I think the 3D models were just shrunk down and said hole not redesigned to fit the 1/72 Bandai kits' pegs. If this is the case, you'll probably have to drill the proper size hole for the 1/72 peg. I'd tell you what the correct size is and whether things fit, but I don't have a Bandai kit on me. If I get one in the near future (preferably if Bandai announces an E or A variant), I'll see what the fit is like and get back to you all. On the Hasegawa kit, the default charging pod doesn't actually peg into the central platform at all. Instead it just slides in from the rear of the fighter, with small tabs on either side of the pod that fit into matching slots on the insides of the legs. In order to mod these pods to fit on the Hasegawa kits, you'll either have to add those same tabs to the pod or, probably the simpler route, cut off the slots on the legs and glue the pod into place. Anyway, thanks again for the amazing work you two did.

    I like dry transfers, too. They, like stickers and waterslides, have their own advantages and disadvantages. I'd love to see someone try to do a complex multi-color emblem or something as a dry transfer. Their Macross kits come with waterslides by default, too, though I almost - ALMOST - think the effort goes wasted, because Bandai's waterslide decal quality is routinely... well, bad is putting it too lightly. I haven't built any of their SW kits, but if they're anything like Macross kits, then I might strongly consider just masking even the most laborious areas and filching a set of marking decals from a Fine Molds/Revell kit instead. I mean, it's a nice gesture to the more "traditional" modelers that probably gravitate more easily to Macross and Star Wars from scale aircraft than Gundam, but still...

    I suggested more battroid mode kits, with the following preferences: - YF-19 - YF-21 - VF-11B/C - (R)VF-25F/G/S - VF-31J/C/E/F/S/A ...followed by a VF-4G Lightning III in any mode.

    Haven't looked at this yet, just saw it as a recommended article. Life-sized Ranka/Sheryl figures: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2018/03/02-1/macross-frontier-sheryl-ranka-to-get-their-life-size-figures

    How dare you not buckle that baby in!?!? I'm gonna report you for child endangerment!!!!

    While I'm not nearly at the same level as you two, I did watch a clip of the Leatherback/Otachi battle and the difference in the level of visual finesse between the first film and second is undeniable. Holy cow, I'd forgotten how beautiful the film was.

    Was there never a DX Lil Drakens set/bundle? Odd that they'd wait this long... For that matter, did the Ba ever see a release and/or announcement?

    I don't recall "IRL" Gipsy being 6 feet tall. Most likely they've used human/character scales as a comparison or guide. The SoC Gipsy would be around the same height as, say, a 1/4-scale Iron Man. The official stats, at least from a quick google, say that Gipsy Danger is 260 feet tall. Good to know. Thanks.

    Left katakana says [Mikumo] "Guynemer," right says "Freyja Wion," from what I remember of katakana. ギンヌメール = gi-n-na-me-e-ru フレイヤ・ヴィオン = fu-re-i-ya vi-o-n
