Well I've been playing with the beta and my new case and I think I've pushed it as far as I'm going to.

I have the say the Beta is perfect for single valk display but it can be pushed to do so much more.

This is the current configuration with three vf-1 60s on one arm. I was playing with it before this and had three 22s on but i didn't take a pic. I plan on buying more as soon as there available and will set the 22s up again for photos, along with that I plan on trying 48s as well with and without fast packs.

Thanks everyone, its a work in progress already have made some small changes. I'll post more pics at some point once I've changed it up more.

So to those who like the case, I got it on a ebay local pick up no one was bidding against me, so I got it for a song.

The companies site is http://www.astrodisplay.com/home.html but it offers no information on the case or any info rely. But if your looking for a similar case i have come across this place http://www.displays2go.com/C-29647/Floor-Display-Cases spendy stuff but way bigger than in Ikea standard.

My one gripe with the case is the shelf hight, with them evenly spaced a 48 wont fit in battroid and a fighter wont fit standing up. And i dont know if my ocd will allow shelves with different heights.

Thanks for the info about NY my first HiMetal VF.

I was planning on only getting enemy mecha and destroids but how can I pass on Roy. I need at least on VF in scale.

Which ones?

Upper right in the picture i reposted. Navy blue and green ones.

So much awesome, love all the custom work and are those three costumed low vis 1's?

Thats cool, I'm getting such wonderful ideas. I think is time for the resurrection of the "strike a pose thread"

Got a new case this weekend well new to me. Cleaned it up and started filling it, I think I over did it and its not even all of them.

I sill love all my 48s. There easily the best fighter mode in my opinion and don't look to bad in gerwalk ether. And than you throw a fast pack or strike pack and there so imposing that I just have to have one in battroid. Just don't use the chicken hands the pre posed ones are so much better. Now if you will excuse me I need to go swoosh some 48s around my living room

Now thats an idea:)

If so, one has to wonder how something like that ever evolved to look and act JUST like cats on Earth. Very unbelievable, but there's more severe things that break my suspension of disbelief in this series. Hey, maybe there was once a Proto-cat-culture that seeded planets...

You have the same gap I have in fighter mode. Anyone else have it/ know a solution?

Not even 5 minutes in and I already feel like I got ripped off, even with the 50% discount I got.

Just a floppy mess right out of the box, screw cover fell off right away (glad I noticed and saved the cover), and as a final dingleberry on this crap sundae, the instrument panel is glued on crooked.

Looks and feels extremely cheap and shoddy.

I'd be pissed if I had paid full price for this thing.

Gonna take a lot of work to make this thing look presentable.

i smell rip off

I think we might be somewhere between the two, either way I quite like it.

Has anyone tried using the old Bandai Ishta sheryl/ranka/cathy ect decals on the new Hasegawa vf-25?

Crap, Diddo.

I missed the first run, will you being doing a 2nd run? Sorry late to the party.

I have been so busy lately, I haven't been checking around the boards.

Well I got mine from Ny a few days ago and have had a chance to play around with it. To me some one who has only seen the M2 movie from manga, but kinda likes the valks design its only ok. Many people have already stated the reasons that this is not a great toy and I knew it would have falts going into it, maybe its just my optimism but I was hopeful that with some care I would be able to get a good pose out of it for static display.(most of my valks sit in a case and i re-arrange/repose a few times a year, thats when the swooshing happens:) ).

But this toy has proven a little frustrating, in my mind i compare it to the 1/72 yf-21 with FP that i got years ago. It looks good on paper and from certain angles is pretty but is just so frustrating to get there, and just like the old 21 don't bother swooshing it will engage in its own high speed stop mode and try and flip the legs forward. Its like it wants to start transforming on its own but just the legs. But I'm being hard on it, she has good angles in fighter mode and that's what i want. Except I have a gap in the back in fighter that i just cant seem to close its almost like a VF-0 gap but the valk is tight.

All in all I'm happy to have a ok 2ss in my collection, I even kinda want a second one for battroid mode so I don't have to deal with the transformation ever again. But my recommendation is don't pay full price, the closer you get to $100 the happier you will be. Now I need the SAP parts maybe they will help the fighter lock together...

I kind of just want a naked VF-1S roy.

Buy combo pack sell valk to this guy, bam fast packs only. 😎

Well at that price how could I say no. I need at least one of every valk.

Well I'm stuck on a plane waiting for the de-Iceing truck I might as well get these pics up that I promised. I love this new little sdf, and I forgot how fidaly the wham can be it looks good but can be annoying to get it there.

Now I need to find that effects part.

I'm not sure but I will give it a try tonight and post a pic.

Thanks for those comparisons pics, do you by chance have 1 with both of them cruiser mode?

I don't but I can take and post one tonight.

Whoops, yah I forgot to move the cannons back on both of them. Sorry about that the wave has been in my case for years.... With the cannons wrong. 😝

A few quick photos and a comparison shot with the old WHAM SDF.

I love this little guy so glad I got two.
