I am also curious on how thin the side profile is given the rear of the engines looks like a block. I hope its rather not too tall.
-
Overall I do like the fact the engines are closer but ONE little thing I found out (and I'll maybe find more tid bits) is the engine nacelle pods on the top and the fuselage angle is supposed to be all lined up. The Bandai doesnt line up all together as far as I see. Well its a minor complain but It will NOT be a deal breaker for me. I will buy this for sure.

What a time to be alive! I used to be in college when the Yamato YF-21 and VF-22 was released and couldnt afford it. Now I can say the wait has paid off.
-
Just revealed today at the Tamashii Nation show, the Bandai DX Chogokin 1/6] YF-21.
-
Well I finally opened mines out for a test display but very satisfied.

Just an update, after returning the item back Amiami, I got the refunded but unfortantely due to the yen exchange rate I lost about $15.00. However my shipment from Hobby Search came and they pre-opened the box to make sure it was not a defect. Im glad Hobby search actually Bubble Wrapped and paper wrapthe SV51 box instead of Amiami that tossed it in the paper wraps. Going forward, I'll use hobby search for my high end orders.
-
Just an update from me, I ended up returning the defective Sv51 back to AmiAmi. Instead I noticed Hobby Search has them in stock and I emailed them the condition. Hobby Search said they got the new corrected batch in so they will inspect it for me and ship the new one. So thus I ordered one from them.
-
Well Amiami got back to me and basically said to ship back because Arcadia IS NOT going to give Amiami any type of parts to customers. INSTEAD, they will relist the SV51 after they get the corrected batch.
-
Just got word from Amiami. Here is what they had to say: Hello. Thank you for waiting. We have confirmed the current situation with our staff and currently we are still waiting to hear back from the maker regarding the replacement parts and whether we can receive them or not. Please note that we do not know how long it will take to confirm or receive the parts. As the maker is planning on releasing an updated version of the figure without the defect, one option would be to purchase the item later with the refunded money. Unfortunately, currently as of September 24, 2019, the only assistance we can provide is a return for a refund for the item. Please let us know how you would like to proceed. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for shopping at AmiAmi. Best wishes, AmiAmi

If it was me I would spray it in matte or semi-gloss.
-
Use cleae enamel nail polish on the joint instead.
-
Yeah its a big if indeed. Amiami is huge in Japan and it would makes sense for them to get support from any manufacturer. It puzzled me why they at first were hesistant to get support when all the other stores were doing it.
-
So after emailing AmiAmi 3x about why they cant exchange, I got a reply from them that they will contact Arcadia to get a new one.
-
I really wish amiami could make the effort to get a replacement part like HLJ did...ugh.
-
Kinda wish if there are other users online who has 2R ankles so some of us can trade with our 2L ankle parts (technically its the entire feet assembly from the ankle below)
-
Hrmm.. I wonder if its just best to return my Amiami one and take a chance to order from HLJ if they do get it in stock...currently Amiami hasnt replied back to me after I asked if they can work it out with Arcadia to get replacement parts or a non-defective item later.
-
If you ankles look like this picture in Jet mode from the top view, its correct.
-
I have no idea on what the ratio of the defective product is, but my friend and I ordered via Amiami and we both had the defective leg models.
-
Yep pretty much the same email I got from Amiami. Honestly I rather get a corrected product in exchange from them because I really doubt how its going to be possible to buy this again without knowing its a defect unless the retailer gets the right ones from Arcadia again. So with that said, I emailed amiami the twitter post by Arcadia about them correcting the issue if Amiami can obtain the corrected model. *crosses fingers
-
But yeah . AMIAMI purchased and I got 2 left ankles.
-
I purchase from AmiAmi, but the email I got from them was I ship the item back, get reimbursed for shipping costs, and once the item is back in their warehouse then I get a full refund. They did not mention about any parts replacements nor product replacements or even when.
