yes?

Shifting gears for a second; can anyone tell if the gunpod this one comes with is the same as the one the YF-29 has? and if it is, can that Gunpod mount on a stock VF-25 in fighter mode?

the movie comes out on DVD/blu-ray in June, you could always wait till then.
-
yeah, on mine they don't snap in pace, the slide over the clips on the leg and hold via friction.
-
that's just what bothers me. It looks to me that the legs and the crotch are in the same orientation in every mode and the swing bar is there to move the leg up and down the crotch. In that case the bar rotates 180 up and down with the leg rotating 180 to compensate.

I don't think it's that obvious in battroid mode, at least on mine, they don't attach all that securely and don't exactly line up with the shape of the leg no matter what side you put them on. it's only when you get it in fighter mode and realize there's not enough clearance for the arms if you have the longer side on the inside.

scroll up a few posts . Basically, he's explaining how those little grey blocks are supposed to be installed onto the back of the legs because nothing on the toy or in the instructions or on the box indicates which one goes on the right and which one goes on the left.

for you fans of body horror out there... (and if you order now through AmiAmi, you can pay $10 extra for a cheap rubber coaster. ) http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-005566

but then the cockpit will get all dusty, and that'll be so hard to clean.

The head sticking out all funky in fighter mode for one. I'm also unconvinced the gerwalk mode is 100% how it should be. the one thing I'm really concerned about is that this design seems to require that you rotate the legs 180 degrees on the ball joint which is just asking to make them loose.

sorry, but I forgot to take pictures when I took mine apart the first time and frankly, I don't intend to ever take it fully apart again (It's that harrowing an experience). anyways, what I did (and I will absolutely not be held responsible for any of horrible breakages if you try this) was start by pulling the entire foot assembly out of the leg. it turns out that if you pull strait down on the foot as if you where extending the ankle hard enough, you can jump the tracks and stops that hold it in, and you get this thing here: now, to get the ball joint itself apart you have to loosen the two silver screws visible in the first picture. notice that the one on the heel side is obscured by the heel itself, well the heel does physically block that screw which makes taking this whole thing apart really difficult. In addition to the screws you can see, there are two metal spring pins that you can't see that also hold the two halves of the ankles together and connect the plastic feet parts to the metal ankle parts. the following pictures are from the VF-19S, but they're very similar to the YF-19 (unfortunately) this is the pin, it is evil: it goes through loops on the inside of the soles of the feet, like so: and through the further down holes on the metal ankle part: anyways, the one good thing about the YF-19 over the VF-19 is that, in order to get the feet apart to get at said evil pin, you don't have to break the foot because there's no glue involved. there's just a single, plainly visible screw on the bottom of the foot: now, you don't have to take the feet off. I was able to get the ankle apart by loosening the screws and wedging the metal pieces apart with a flat head screw driver. still to get enough flex to do that you'll still want to remove the top of the feet and if you can get the heel off without breaking it, I recommend doing so because otherwise you're probably going to maul the plastic closest to the screw with your screwdriver. anyways, once you've got the ball out of its socket, just apply superglue/future/nail polish/whatever you think will work best for this application. once you're done, reverse the process to get the thing put back together.

it's a nice color, but I want to be able to SEE the pilot in the cockpit.

By "cup of noodles" he means selling meth. pure blue sky man.

Everyone's got a hate on for RD's. well maybe RD's just don't like you. Ever thought of that? I love my Wing Gundam, and all my other RD's, They're the toys I wish I had as a kid watching Gundam Wing on Toonami. -
bendy head lasers, pre-order cancelled, etc. I can't wait to see some pictures where it's actually transformed correctly in all 3 modes.
-
I remember the story behind the vf-1 being that SK designed the battroid mode first, worked out the fighter mode from there, and then discovered gerwalk mode on accident while messing with an early toy mock up. I've got no idea if this story is at all accurate.

Need Suggestions for a Sparmax TC-610 Compatible Airbrush
anime52k8 replied to GU-11's topic in The Workshop!
That's the exact same kit I had as my first airbrush when I was a kid. Yours is in much better shape than mine. -
It's so they can use the same mounting point and hardware in both gerwalk and battroid.
-
I actually like the look of the movie dinobots (based on there toys anyways).
-
oh, to be so young and naive. I should link some Giga Pulse galleries and see what happens.
-
you know what else produces a lot of air resistance during take off and landing? landing gear. And yet all planes have them.

highschool DxD is seriously the new ToHeart2. Also, I just found out that Asuka figure is a $180 polystone statue

I'm seriously confused, what does all this have to do with the DX VF-30 toy?
