I always thought the knee swivel on any toy was so you could get the foot to angle outward because it’s a lot tougher to engineer a swivel like that JUST at the ankle
-
Oh...... well it’s an amazing photoshop
-
Where’d you find this picture?
-
Just placed my preorder on HLJ too! Can’t come soon enough!!!
-
WOW! wasn’t expecting $250.00.......... guess it’s gonna be worth it though. Anywhere else have preorders available?
-
THANKS!

Found out he used Tamiya panel accent apparently I am supposed to use enamel thinner to remove this.
-
Well..... I only have one other panel lined and that’s a Renewal VF-25F. This new guy is a VF-1A cannon fodder. I think panel lining looks great on white valks, but I’m not loving it on this brownie. Maybe it’ll grow on me. I dunno. It’s also not done so well in a spot or three so maybe that’s another reason I want to remove it. How could I know other than asking the guy who sold it to me what he used?

Hi y'all. I just purchased a Yamato VF-1A V2 and never realized (because of my horrible illiteracy) that it's panel lined. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on hoy to safely remove the panel lining? Like a particular solvent or other liquid and a soft cloth or something? Please let me know if anyone has any info. THANKS!

I just realized I pre-ordered in April! Is it normal for companies to delay releasing the product THIS MUCH? I don’t have a ton or pre-order experience.

Does the kit require more than just painting?
-
Paint schemes and hands

Whaddya mean? You selling?

Well..... I have a permanent Battloid and a really awesome box that it came with. I thought about it and I figure I could try changing it back to fighter mode in which case it’ll fall apart again and I’d have to glue it together into that mode BUT I could display it in or out of the box. So I’ve got THAT goin for me.

I think you’re right. I was looking on the and saw - Bandai HM proto from 2017. My bad......
-
I thought someone somewhere said there was a proposed Bandai DX YF-21. Like someone posted a resin prototype model pic from a show or something. I really think I saw that somewhere.
-
Even though it would have looked silly with the Shadow Alpha attached, I got an MPC Beta around the same time. May have seen some posts earlier I had asking about the proposed MPC Beta Shadow (that I didn’t realize was never issued). So yeah I got the Red Beta and really wanted to pair them up....but can’t now. Unless I try the Battloid w/ Beta pairing. But I’m scared to even pick the Alpha up off my workbench to move it into my case let alone try that pairing. (I don’t have enough fingers to cross for this Sentinel Legioss release)
-
All of them except the VF-31A
-
I got this MPC Shadow Alpha for more than HALF of that. Mmmmmmmaybe that should have been a sign as to its condition.
-
I got the Sue Graham model. I stayed away from the Maia one because of the recall. Jenius's site gave the Sue Graham one a little higher score for durability, but..... yeah. Live and learn.
-
Yeah, thats exactly what i am gonna do. I don't know where i heard this, but someone said Mospeada Legioss's are robots that become planes, while Macross VF's are planes that become robots. So i think since i've basically super glued this thing together in Battloid, it's gonna stay that way. Just a shame like i said, i would have just gotten the super posable. I like changing up my display cases from time to time, back & forth in modes for all my stuff. This guy's just gonna be sittin there like a destroid now. ha!!
-
Ok, back to the Toynami MPC Shadow Alpha i just got. WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP! I don't know if maybe the person i bought it from had experienced issues before they sold it, but the thing literally fell to pieces when trying to transform to battloid. Like into 5 separate pieces. I've never used so much glue on anything before. Needless to say, it's "stuck" in battloid mode for good now. Shoulda just bought a super-posable darnit! It's a stinkin paperweight now. Ah well...... one more reason to hope & pray for the Sentinel model.
-
Just got my hands on my first Toynami MPC Legioss Alpha. Got the Vol. 4 Shadow Version (based on @jenius amazing site review). As always, have to agree with his assessment. My having OCD doesn't help either with the fit/build (symmetry) issues. Its a really good looking model/toy, but i just can't get the feet/jet exhausts to line up property, AND my futzing around with that alignment ended up snapping the peg that connects one of the arms to the feet! 10 minutes into owning the darn thing! Saving grace is it will be spending most of its time in Battloid mode anyway. HERE'S TO LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT SENTINEL HAS TO OFFER US!!!!
-
Well..... that’s a VERY rare item then.
-
Is this Toynami MPC Shadow Beta an extremely rare item?
