There's two parts to the shoulders which both get loose real fast, if not already loose out of the box. There's the ball and socket joint which can be tightened up by just brushing a layer of clear nail polish over the ball. Then there's the inner hinge joint which moves the shoulder up and down. I carefully put a drop of super glue into the hinge so it would flow in between the hinges and then just moved the joint up and down so the super glue won't freeze it in place. The joint is nice and tight once the glue sets.

Looks great! Love the shelves and lighting too!

Fastest Delivery! Used a stunt double 25G because those speaker pod clips will totally scratch up any finish. Great design, Bandai! -
VF-25G gerwalk. Fixed the shoulders enough so that she can actually hold her gun with one hand.
-
Thanks! She's coming along.

Super parts, armor parts, tornado parts... that's a lot of gift sets!

I'd prefer it if they rebuilt the VF-25 from the ground up so it's as good as or even better than the VF-31, but I'll re-buy all the Frontier valks again even with the modest YF-29 fixes. If they do re-release the 25s, I wonder if Bandai will reissue all the different accessory sets too? All with new matte finishes, of course.

VF-25G battroid with all the joints tightened up. -
Thanks! Finished the 25G (needed some paint for the nav lights) and now pushing myself to do the RVF.

That's the best Gundam transformation I've ever seen.

My Japanese isn't great (just regular daily conversation skills) but I looked at the sentence in question. 最新DX超合金の仕様に合わせて シボ加工された本体は艶を押さえた表現 The first half just says according to the newest DX chogokin specifications. The second half says the main body has been textured and the glossy finish has been suppressed/held down. I'm taking that as meaning Bandai retooled the molds so it no longer as a glossy finish.

DHL from Amazon Japan for only 1200 (later 1600) yen was the best. RIP ridiculously cheap and psychotic fast shipping. Addendum: Purchased a MB Astray Red Alternative Strike whatever from them on Monday and it will be here Thursday.

Having to address floppy joints is one of the many things that make fixing up Frontier valks such a laborious process. The hips and shoulders and ankles on nearly all of my copies were loose right out of the box, among other problems. I'm looking forward to this YF-29 but really wish they had addressed the shoulders. And I wish Bandai would quit using excessive amounts of diecast when it's not needed. It's a bothered touching up all that chipped paint.

I want that low viz 1S!!!

Look for people unloading their old YF-29s.

23000 yen.

Whoa whoa whoa. You're not a greenhorn when it comes to DX PO nights. Your teeth should be brushed, kids tucked in, bladder emptied, and a bottle of whisky ready before 1400 JST.

Lol got my original two from waaaay back in the day. I was going to detail one up, but now I'll wait for the revised version to do that.
-
Yeah HLJ was only open for about 5 minutes. Which is an eternity when it comes to DX preorders lol
-
Got my two so I'll have four Alto YF-29s come October/November. Can't believe it's this much hassle to buy a slight revision of a nine year old toy.
-
Order stop at HLJ.
-
Got one at HLJ. 23000! Woohoo!

AJ scalpers down to 40990. What a discount!

I ordered a VF-31A from them a long while back. After the release date, they said they "didn't receive enough stock" and canceled my order. They tried to offer me store credit and I told them hell no, I want a full refund. They obliged. A week later they were selling VF-31As marked up to like $500.
