    Yes to all the above, and a Grace pilot figure I'm not sure was included with the first 27.

    So I've been fiddling with it, and I've gotten it into a more solid Gerwalk. The upper legs have tabs that can slot into the intakes, but it's not tight at all. I also discovered I didn't miss a joint or swivel in the legs; due to their design with many spiky bits and their construction, it's really tough to get a good a-stance. Still, I'm pretty happy with what I achieved. I pushed the wing engines away from true and drooped the outer wings to get an anhedral, and that's the 27's "bird of prey" mode I suppose. The hinges connecting the wings to the fuselage are too loose, and the wings too heavy, to try for an SV-51 look without modification. Which leads me to my biggest beef: dat gunpod. It's huge, pretty heavy, and unstable. Options to hold the gun in the hands are severely limited. Fortunately, you can still clip it into place with the front clip, as you do in fighter mode. Overall, I'm totally pleased with this. You can really see the evolution of Bandai's engineering of Valkyries, and this truly earns its "V1.5" appellation. It's not as tight or well thought out as a true Renewal, but you can easily see where care was taken to insure most everything fit into place somewhere, and wasn't so flimsy you were terrified to transform it. Looking forward to the Super Part/Fold booster combo pack for 10K! 😉

    The only thing for certain, it's not supposed to be VF-30.

    So we're Gelato Squadron?

    Alright, a few more pics! Gerwalk mode is very fiddly. The hips don't want to stay attached to the intakes, so gravity wants to keep detaching them. The underfuselage bit that holds the hip bar also doesn't seem to have a positive attachment. On the plus side, ankles are tight and they extend down from the legs with authority. Getting this thing into an A-stance is tricky. There's probably a swivel I missed somewhere. The last pic: it's Miller Time!

    Also, some of the existing info is ridiculously hard to find. That's why we're lucky to have Gubaba and Seto around. Please remember, you have access to info most of the rest of us don't even know exists. Please be patient.

    Um... which name? Michael? Michel? Mikhail? I've seen all of them refer to his character; which is correct?

    I'm just used to Valkyries having the detail because most of them have pre-compressors right inside the intakes, and that's the fan you see. The 27's engines might do it another way. Nice to hear the old fold booster fits. Now Bandai needs to reissue that and some repainted super parts in a single Web Store Exclusive. Just wait...
  9. Sildani
    Um, I don't know what that is, but it's exquisite.
  10. Sildani
    Yes, they're stickers. More pics on Monday, probably. NO super parts. Wouldn't surprise me to hear Bandai put a super part/fold booster box set together in the near future.

    All the love for his mount, but no love for Ozma personally?! Dunno if he's my favorite, exactly, but he certainly has my respect for getting things done no matter what it takes, and his deep love for Ranka. He's one of the few characters in Frontier I DIDN'T want to slap, how's that?

    There she is... my pretty girl. Also included is a sticker sheet for different modex numbers. Unfortunately, your only choices are 102 and 302. I can confirm the clear green canopy is included. Also, the horned head is attached out of the box, the normal head is in a Baggie. Head lasers are hard plastic, no rubber ones are included. Perfect paint on mine! A little disappointed there's no turbine detail. But loving her anyway! EDIT: My prayers were answered! She comes with two pilots; one generic one in a Baggie, and one installed in the cockpit! Aaaand... it's Grace!

    Hey, it wanted to be with me. It is MY Valkyrie after all. 😉

    Holy crap, my 27 just showed up! From Osaka to Virginia in 2 days! EMS is no joke this week! Huh. Plain brown Tamashii shipper box AND a full color inner box. Nice.
  15. Sildani
    Let NOTHING get in the way of dreams! Isn't that what Facebook teaches us many times a day? 😉
  16. Sildani
    Any parts for attaching the old fold booster by chance?
  17. Sildani
    Yes, I think that's what happens. Brera can "see" through the armored canopy because as a cyborg he's directly wired into the 27's sensors. That's a CG representation of the outside. When he breaks contact, he loses that ability, so the armor comes off and he's back to using the Mk 1 eyeball.

    Does Cannon Fodder taste like butterscotch? If so, I'm in.
  19. Sildani
    Yeah, it's supposed to made of Unobtanium and then painted, so I appreciate the uniformity. I wish this came with the fold booster like the V1 did, or a Grace pilot figure. Oh well.
  20. Sildani
    Sweet Baby Jeebus, that's expensive. No thanks.
  21. Sildani
    Lovely. I suppose after the kinks are worked out, they'll put spats, or even trousers, over the undercarriage. I didn't see any provision for retractable gear. Didn't look too bent, either. Good piloting.
  22. Sildani
    They'd cost twice as much as comparable ice cream, and people'd complain the packaging disintegrates in the freezer, untouched. 😀 Oh, yeah. Shipped!
  23. Sildani
    Looks like the green color is much more consistent across the board. The old one had different shades of green across various parts. Very good.
  24. Sildani
    She does have a great personality. And sizeable tracts of land. And glasses. Basically, the girl people should've gone after instead of getting wrapped up in the Ranka/Sheryl mess. 😉

    Got my preparation email! Doing a happy dance!
