    In the Tamashii page, when one lists condition by DX Chogokin, the VF-25S Revival shows up no matter what location one sets the page at: If one sets the page to Japan, then the other P-Bandai VF-1 shows up:

    Hmm in the new video it shows the swing bar can also be detached ala Bandai's DX. Hopefully the attachment is sturdy won't accidentally or unintentionally detach during handling.

    If you are on mobile, it probably asks you to view on app when clicking on the link. Try enabling web translation, & then there should be link somewhere on that page that says ‘continue viewing on web browser’.

    Thanks I actually have a strong urge to go back and redo that VF-4 pic, because the canard can be pushed in further such that its flush instead of the gap it currently has & that bugs me quite a bit.. But 'volkaholism' is a new vocabulary I'm liking a lot! haha.. I do love the YF-19 too, and it's quite the perfect FSW shaped valk from all angles. Love the vibrant colours and background.

    Definitely check out Jenius's review I guess.. https://anymoon.com/blog/?p=7715#more-7715 But yes, Arcadia's mold fixed all the issues you mentioned. For the hips, Arcadia's have pull out joints, but the big caveat is that for the 0A & 0D, you might run into copies on which the hips might separate on you, so I think many owners do not even pull out those hip joints for fear of it happening. None of the 0S or the OD PF version have that problem though.

    In-hand video: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV19i421m7BP/ Articulation wise, there doesn't seem to be much surprise from the pics we've seen so far. The guy in the video didn't really go through articulation in detail, but we do see the new ankle flap. He didn't try the sideway hip joints or pull out the feet though. But the way he puts the figure through its motions give the impression that the joints are suitably tight yet smooth like how a normal TZ figure is, and certainly no hint of fiddly-ness that plaque KC's valks. We also see the waist swivel mechanism in more detail, and it is exactly as described in my earlier post a few pages back when TZ released the transformation animation video - this is a big win over Bandai's fiddly mechanism that I think many of us pretend doesn't exist lol. What is surprising is the rear landing gears also cant sideways like the DX. I always felt that was a nice touch on the DX, and it is very welcome here.

    CM’s Gutto Kuru Megazone 23 Part 3, Eve Tokimatsuri. I wish CM’s didn’t skip Eve from Parts 1 & 2, especially Part 1 where the characters are designed by Mikimoto.

    Ah gotcha.

    it’s been a while since I’ve watched Zero - There were CF 0Ds in the show but never noticed if any wore the super parts. I hate to think it’s Bandai bandai-ed in some way, somehow leaving the slots there when they used the 0S’s CAD file as starting point for the 0D. Yet it’s not impossible thought haha

    HMR Macross Zero VF-0D Shin

    MKT replied to MKT's topic in Toys

    If not mistaken, the one who did that beautiful 0D is also a member here. @EastwindS2k. Here’s the link to his thread of his other works: Depending on the platform you are viewing this forum on, the pics might show up as thumbnails, so gotta click on them to appreciate in full.

    Appreciate your thoughts & pics @Raikkonen I don’t think the jointed thruster on the booster is a preamble to having the Ghost being its own accessory, because the thruster is a feature of the combined valk & booster. Nice call on the 0D’s mysterious slots at its legs. I always assumed the parts from 0S (and now the 0A) will fit, but never tried that before so now knowing that they don’t fit is a surprise. It has to be purposely designed to be there, because it’s not as if Bandai reused the 0S’s leg mold for the 0D, as the 0D’s leg sculpt is different.

    Ah finally it gets released.

    Amiami 1/8 Strike Witches Francesca Lucchini Another random buy, again of whom I have no idea. But it’s cheap for a scaled figure, and I’m curious to see the quality of an Amiami produced figure.

    Re: the Ghost booster tilt. Here's an old pic (previously unused, didn't like many aspects of it) of Arcadia's 0A with the Yamato booster. It doesn't really tilt, if any, at all. But agree with @Chronocidal, the tapered look, top intake plus the other lines & shape of the Ghost booster do give a strong impression of an upward tilt. I had always thought with its landing gears down, it has an even more pronounced tilt, but when viewed directly from the sides it's not really there.
