Lolicon

More expensive than the Koenig even though it doesn't transform. Yikes. Just one for me.

Got my second 0S waiting for this baby

The sign says 1/20 scale Lynn Minmay DYRL version, which would be a tiny figure. But under that it says 1/20 scale VF-1A/S Ichijo Hikaru, which would be a ginormous valk.

But they get it right away! I want it nooooooow!

Glad you guys like it. I'd like to detail all my valks, but it'll take some years at this rate... Lol! I wasn't thinking about that when I took that pic, but that's great! I shudder at how much Arcadia would charge for a weathering edition these days. 50k+ yen anyone? Nah, you didn't miss anything. I have the 0A but have not worked on it yet. Maybe I'll do it next, after I finish buffing out the canopy scrape. Hehe thanks. I grew to really dislike those Bandai kits. I could have probably finished 3 or 4 Hasegawa kits in the time it took me to do 1 Bandai kit. Wish Hasegawa had the Frontier license back then!

Whoops! Thanks for the heads up. Was so preoccupied to avoiding scrapes that I overlooked a step. Fixed.

Fighter mode pics. And now I'm done and finally have a VF-0 I'm happy with. And lastly, look at those two Fockers!

Some more battroid and gerwalk pics. Taken with my brand new phone camera! Fighter mode coming up a little later.

They are, but there's not a huge size difference when going from 1/72 to 1/60, especially when most of the decals are of small markings that are mostly illegible at either scale.

Congrats! Definitely the best of the Zero valks!

Haha true enough. Those were taken with my old phone. Will get some other modes using my new phone later. I wish I could lol The Bandai Frontier kits from a few years back more or less killed any inclination I had towards model building. If you mean the stickers it came with, then no. I bummed a bunch of decals off the Hasegawa kit, and used a few homemade decals I created by scanning the sticker sheet and reprinting them onto decal paper. Go get one! You know you want it! Really, I think the 0S is Arcadia's best release to date, not counting reissues of Yamato releases. Thanks guys. I'll get some more pics in other modes later. Now I want to play with my Hulkbuster.

Did some detail work on my 0S. Snapped a few pics with my phone because I don't own a real camera.

I own multiples of both. I like both. Neither are perfect. Bandai's does have the dubious honor of being the only valk I've wanted to hurl at the wall.

Oh so you have to assemble and paint them? Nuts to that. Thought they were like small scale non-transforming display pieces.

Received a number of items over the last few weeks, but I've been really looking forward to getting this.

Hope it can actually stand on its own feet.

Lovely pics! But I thought purple gunpods didn't exist in your universe.

If you dislike the show, the best way to voice your disapproval is with your wallet, which means not buying any of the merchandise, including any of the VF toys. How many of us are going to do that? Not I.

Only if you littered by tossing them out the window of your car.

LOL! For comparison, here's the "good" one I received from HLJ. To be fair, it was damaged by incompetent USPS handling, though the thinner box and minimal tetris packaging did not help.

Here's the "damaged box" VF-0S I just received from Amiami. (Photobucket not working so have to use the MW uploader.)

The Super Dimension Cinderella Ranka and blue (or red) concert uniform Sheryl are probably the best renditions of those characters, IMO. Both were produced by Megahouse. You can still get them on Mandarake for 4 or 5k yen.

Turpenoid works really well. It won't damage plastic but will strip paint and printing really easily. I use it to remove things like those pesky 1994 BIG WEST markings. Just take care not to get any on painted surfaces you don't want to strip (better to just put some masking tape around those areas).

Come on guys, it's not like any of those dolls will come to life in the middle of the night and murder you.

Beautiful!
