Kinda awkward to see the bottom part of 'SMS' logo from the fuselage on the lower chest area under the nosecone. I'm also worried on the wing/thigh joints when the Boosters are left there for so long in Battroid mode.

It's hard to predict what's next unless there's a teaser pic or official announcement from Mr.K or from Arcadia itself. Otherwise, it's just another case of 'what we wish', 'what we want', and 'what we hope' to release from Arcadia.

It's still the wrong shade of blue, guys.

Saw the leaked pilot too. It's like watching a superhero version of Ugly Betty. The only 2 thing I really like is first, the heat vision effect, it's better than Man of Steel's. And second, the 2 known 'Supers' actors playing her parents.

It didn't even went to production stage.

So they're still going to refund you the base total of the figure without the initial shipping, right? Count yourself lucky. If I remember correctly, some of the members here were just offered certain amount only on Arcadia's YF-19 that shipped with broken or damaged wings.

Yay! PO'ed at NY. Quite expensive but it's a good alternative over Hot Toys. Just bought and PO'ed Iron Men including War Machine Mk2. In other words, there's no Hulk for me to Bust. It's just a good size to display in my office table. Now time to save up for this and the Keaton/Batman Returns figure set.

Guess the tab is there for a 'purpose'. And you can't just cut it unless you want the parts to be loose upon transformation. The way I see it on the picture, the tab is somehow or will be connected to the back part area in Fighter mode. It's just a bother to some since it's exposed. Hope they find a way to fix that or redesign the tabs for transformation. +1

For future reference on other VF-25 Tornado owners, would enlarging the hole a little in the legs armor helps not to break or snap the peg? I have the Tornado parts and up to now I haven't use the leg armors yet. I just bought it for the wing and cannons. But does enlarging it kinda helps? Thanks in advance.

I doubt that it will have by looking at the pictures on Page 1. The ankle area is too tight to have a ball joint. I'm guessing same approach as VF-1's. Pull and open.

Looks gorgeous.

Great job Mr. Cheng! Love the subtle look of the decals. Btw, I notice the different shade of beige on the shoulder swivel part and the wing joint that connects to the thigh. Is this because of the top coat or just the lighting effect only? Thanks.

That's a big probability.

Based on the previous 0D valk, it lasted almost a month prior of release date. That's why I'm happy with Arcadia releases than Bandai's. PO time is not that hard for Arcadia releases.

Hahaha! I'm thinking the same thing, spanner. Should I buy PS4 just for Batman Arkham Knight game. But overall Macross 30 is a great game. Fun to play with. Not so sure regarding replay value though. I started the New Game Plus thing months ago and somehow got tired of playing it again just to get the upgraded blueprints. But flying the Valk is so cool.

Rest assured, it's lower than 0D.

You're welcome Keiichi. Glad to be of help.

uhm... Bandai. Great ships, Lolicon.

Hey Keiichi. Sure. I can do that with the best of my knowledge without the help of pictures. Basically, we really need to hide that black dot in order to flush in the legs inside the bay so that the bay door will close properly. In order to put back the legs inside from Gerwalk or Battroid mode. After you straighten the legs from Gerwalk, you will notice the black dot on the side of the knee joint. And this is the part where you say, 'I already did pushed the knee back from Gerwalk'. Remember that in Gerwalk mode, the knee extends to expose the rotating joint area. After you pushed the joint back in, you really need to push one more to hide the dot. The best way to do that is, hold the upper leg area (thigh) with one hand, while the other hand is holding the lower leg area, and at the same time, put your thumb at the back of the knee joint. With a little force from the thumb, try to push the knee joint upward, the same motion when you push back the joint to hide the extended rotating joint from Gerwalk. Once you successfully pushed that back in, you will hear a 'click' sound. And voila! The dot is already hidden at the edge of the thigh part. Hope that helps. Let me know the outcome.

I like it.

Cool! No need to use paint or marker.

Yup. Get YF-21 now. Then sell it later if Arcadia decides to redo it. That's what I'm going to do with my other one. Even if I need to sell it cheap. Coz I got it bargain too.

Great purchases everyone! YF-21...

As always, Saburo. Great pics!
