  1. That shot of the YF-21 fighter makes me think of the TBD Devastator, probably the worst torpedo plane of WW2.
  2. They are on the Yamato VT-1 and VE-1. But I never use them since the packs are held securely in place without them, just like the regular VF-1.

    I was about to say that the other 2 look like 3D printed mock ups rather than actual transformable prototypes.
  4. The 171 requires less anime magic yet it a worse toy than the Yamato 17. Funny how that works.

    I don't have my old HM VF-19 at hand to compare. Did Bandai completely retool it for the HMR version?
  6. Hope the 0A maintains the same level of quality as the 0D.

    Mylene's VF-11 is my most wanted hero valk that's never gotten a proper transforming release.
  8. Buddy in Japan texted me this right before you posted. It looks great! And actual seated pilots this time! Unlike my empty cockpit 1D.
  9. Yamato made it work. I just took out my 171s to set them up in my cases and they were a PITA, even though I only needed to attach the armors. From the wonky leg design to the idiotic swapping wings, it's just not any fun to handle.
  10. Ah, for the assymmetry lovers in the fanbase.
  11. They should ha included reaction warheads with all the 31s.
  12. Taking my valks from storage and setting them up on Yeti stands in the moducase is more time consuming than I expected. Frontier shelf coming along. Nothing is 100% done yet. Just working on getting fighters up on their stands. Gonna start on Zero/Plus/7 for row 3. Delta gets the bottom row where it belongs. Even kitties love moducases.
  13. Just ignore it. The 60 day limit is currently not in effect, so you can keep your stuff in PW however long you want. That's probably why they're constantly hounding people to ship.
  14. I got mine from them soon after release date.
  15. 1/350 original Enterprise. Arrived last week but haven't opened it as I'm still setting up my Moducases when I'm free at home. Reviews are already up on Youtube and she's a beauty!
  16. The golden age of anime ended when the bubble burst in Japan. I don't entirely agree with Oshii but I understand where he's coming from. https://fandomwire.com/mamoru-oshii-thinks-neon-genesis-evangelion-will-be-forgotten-in-time-sees-it-as-a-commercial-anime-that-wont-survive-ia/
  17. I've had the PF versions of Roy and Hikaru for years now and they're still bright white. I've had way more issues with white either fading or yellowing with Bandai's stuff. I just took my Luca 171 out of storage and the white has clearly faded into something closer to the Yamato DYRL white. Fortunately the fading was uniform throughout so it still looks okay. Unfortunately, yellowing is always a possibility with any white plastic...
  18. Oh my I didn't know about this Minmay release. I must find one now...
  19. That's an interesting question. I have no doubt that if Macross Plus was made today the CGI versions of the YF-19 and YF-21 would have quite different proportions with far less anime magic than the hand drawn versions. But not zero anime magic, as even Frontier and Delta used a bit of the ol' anime magic despite existing as CG models.
  20. Thanks for sharing the link with the pics! I think everyone here knows how hyperlinks works.
  21. Those look pretty good. I should actually open mine one of these days...
  22. Looks great! Especially the 1D with an actual seated Minmay figure.
  23. Those are Yetistands. I never tried them with the DX line, but I don't see why they wouldn't. Yeti did sell DX adapters before he went away. You can get Archi stands now, which are similar to Yeti and just as good.
