SV-51's in space? now that would be awsome.

well good thing we don't have to worry about that here in the real world. the zentraedi feet won't be here for another four and a half months.

I what I mean, is that the whole part that connects the crotch to the body is angled out less, so the crotch is lower and the torso is longer. even thought he hips meet the crotch at the same point, it's overall lower. and obvously the legs ar skinnier. maybe even too skinny.

don't be silly, that looks WAY sleaker than bandai's sh*tpile.

oh wow. hah. good one man. I've come to realize that around here, it's not about one brand or another. It’s about hating everything that comes down the pipeline. I can't think of a single thing that's come out in the last few years that hasn't been met with constant complaining right up until production and beyond. Whether the complaints are valid or not, and whether said complaints affect anyone's decision to purchase is completely irrelevant. Even when they give us exactly what we've been clamoring for, we find reason to complain. Sure, a lot of the complaints are valid, and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but you've got to admit it wouldn't be a MW toy thread without half the thread being complaints and negativity. Here at MW, Complaining is our national past time.

you know what, it's the angle the crotch is at, it's more verticle and it makes the legs sit lower.

7) legs are too fat 8)arms are too long 9)Feet are too big (are we past this one, I forget) 10)hands don't articulate (don't know if this is fact or not) 11)no removable intake covers 12)the intakes on the chest parts are just painted indentations. 13)nose of the plane droops in gerwalk mode 14)the Nose cone looks F***ed up in fighter and gerwalk mode 15)gun pod is too skinny 16)head sits too low in batroid mode. 17)use of diecast in the hips sucks. 18)crotch piece is wrong (forget how, but someone mentioned it) 19)all the hinges are masive and ugly I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head

discontinued on HLJ tends to mean, "we don't have any more, stop ordering"

other than the stand (which so far only two of yamato's valks come with) I don't think the intakes and hands are a big deal. (everyone alway's seems to bitch about the articulated hands anyways) and I never take the intake covers out, so one less part ot fall off/lose.

and that doesn't bother me half as much as how pointlessly pissed off about robotech people still are. also, I think that calling it the SDF-4 Global makes perfect sence. it could be that all Macross class ships wer given SDF-X designations, and the only reason the megaroad was still SDF-2 was because it was originaly going to be a battlefortress thingy and not a colony ship. or maybe the megaroad ships and the regular macross ships shared the same designation system. Or maybe when SK and Co. made FB2012, they had no intention of going back to macross so they didn't care what it was called and named it SDF-2, never realizing that someday a bunch of guy's on a web forum would be debating this.

I would say michels valk is has more in common, considering it's just a new head and a new gunpod. heck, they could just take the existing alto, change the color of the plastic, and throw in an extra multicolor sprue for all the extra parts (wich would be nice since you'd get an extra gunpod). as for luca, they'd need to completely change the backpack and arm in order to make the mounts for the radar dish and fins. also best proof that michel will be after ozma is that on the box cover art, they have ozma then michel then luca flying in the backround in that order.

also helps that it's his site.

how does that work, the resin prototype looks better than the Test shot. arn't these suposed to get BETTER when newer preproduction stuff comes out? also I got to say the fast packs look great.

it should what with the part swaping and the lack of landing gear

HOLLY S**T VF-27 WANT!!!

the thing is some of us don't have time/skill enought to do the painting. I don't have time to do the work myself and even if I did, it would look still look like poo, (I'm sure I'm not alone in this). Now I supose I could pay someone else to build it for me, but I doubt I could afford that and the money savings thing goes out the window there. I'm telling you 1/32 is the way to go. absolutely massive so they could do all kinds of things. and on a PG kit they can get around needing to paint easily. heck I don't see anything that's stoping them from painting the parts for the valks on the sprues (if they can do it on a $20 Zoids kit, they can do it on a $200+ PG kit) also, I love the VF-25 enought to want an 18inch tall version of it.

a GN-U YF-19 and the 1/60 YF-19 are both toy's, would you say they're comparable. The Bandai 1/100 and the Yamato 1/60 really are like comparing apples and oranges. The 1/60 is basically a prebuilt model. The VF100’s are most likely a going to be relatively affordable action figures that sacrifice PT in order to maintain durability and look. And to think that any of the VF100's won’t be partsformers is frankly delusional. They’re going to be partformers guarantied. They may not require parts swapping, but they’re at least going to be like the old v.1 1/60’s

best guess is that the ships are like bee hives, and they provide better weaponry than idividual vajra. and as far as we can tell the vajra ships grown and are living things just like the smaller vajra.

scary part is they'll probebly do this in 4 or 5 years after they've had time to milk the crap of the 1/60's then 4 or 5 years after that, they'll come out with a line of Frontier toy's, but they'll be in some new weird scale like 1/52 or something, so it doesn't match anything we already have. so they'll start doing v.2 mac0 valks and v.3 plus valks and finaly v.4 VF-1's

also, something that doesn't need to be F***king painted or decaled in order to not look like crap. honestly, the toy looks like crap, but so does the model if you don't have the time/skill in order to propery detail it. bandai needs to give us a PG kit that's 1/48 or 1/32 scale, and is prepainted/have pop in peices that are molded in the correct color. (tempo printing would be good too)

so you'll be waiting twenty years for the theoredical Yamato release.

are you sure hat Guma used stickers and not decals? they look like decals to me. and what exactly are foil decals?

does anyone know about what ratio I should use to get the same finish as the plasitic in a bandai model if I'm mixing tamiya Flat base with Future, and spraying it over stait plastic. I'm planning to get one of the VF-25's and I'm hoping to only need to clear coat the area's that have decals on them.

I find it interesting that everyone's looking forward to the Yamato version, even though one will NEVER COME OUT. seriously fokes, it aint gonna happen, just move along.

you would think that, until you personally have an arm snap off of your $200+ toy anyway's I'm still holding out hope that it'll look better once it's actualy painted and not all floppy. bright side is I can get two 1/72's with action bases for the price of the second alto I'm not getting. (damnit jumping on the band waggon at least I'm not getting another VF-1)
