Nothing like some good news on a thursday morning
-
Did enquire with fexthobby and they said thats a customized and exclusive base set done up for saburo but goods news, they will be doing up a general release base set complete details and markings soon
-
Anypne hoping that bandai takes a notch further and do a VF-19S/F not forgetting the YF-21/VF-22? I am hoping they will revisit the VF-171 design and possibly make a simpler VF-17S/D

Custom armor in stealth colors by my hongkong friend rei

I would say amiami has the best packaging now as compared to NY. Large box with plenty of room and packing material

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
recon replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I would say the soul blue ver is more anime accurate than its former. Wun be surprised if bandai would release a satin finish and anime accurate ver for destiny later Lucky i stop collecting gundams cos macross alone is a killer -
Nope no radar inside the nosecone. Its probably designed that way so that the gpb crotch piece would be so long like the thunder hummer
-
Was thinking out loud. Was there ever a backpack issue with the 1/48 yammies. If there was, will bandai design replicate or eliminate the same issue?
-
Yeah there is one way to fold the backpack up when transforming from fighter to gerwalk or battroid and another way to fold it down when transforming back to fighter. Lucky i still got my old V2 to monkey around
-
I always use your guides as a precursor to transforming any valks. That saying, the V2.5 valks from arcadia needs a new guide on how to handle the backpack hinge and flap
-
Gotcha. I presume there is no way of removing the backpack flap now and doing some repair work on those pegs so that the movement is smooth? My opinion is that flap pegs should have being designed in a way that they are rounded stubs which you slot into the backpack holes instead pegs which causes unnecessary stress on the backpack joint
-
What was causing the flap hinge breakages? Mind sharing so that we can take note?
-
Not really. If the errors are not corrected during release, maybe i shall sent it to my modeller friend to remove and respray those areas. Looking back at the comparision pics, arcadia definitely excel in the battroid department but falls short in the fighter mode as compared to bandai
-
Damn. Didnt notice the chest stripe. Hope that bandai corrects these glaring errors
-
Whoo yeah. The final one to add to my collection then im done
-
Found another video on how to rotate the backpack safely https://youtu.be/GqBjKv8rc3g
-
The best is try to glue back the hinge joint using epoxy or gorilla glue. Now im scared to even transform my PF VF-1J millia ver. Is there any guide on how to properly rotate the backpack?
-
Somebody should show this to bandai on the wrong order of leg fins color

Arcadia Premium Finish Max and Miria 1/60 Super VF-1J
recon replied to davidwhangchoi's topic in Toys
Yeah i received the same notice too. Somewhat looking forward to the Max VF-1J PF. Am hoping that a PF VF-1J GBP in PF format will be next followed by elint seeker and super ostrich. At 1/60, its a scale that is fine by me as its in scale with the rest of my collection and a space saver too. I did own 1/48s before thus not getting the DX VF-1J is not really a bummer for me -
Me. I guess a YF-21/VF-22 is in the works as they could milk this along with the VF-19 for M7 line, along with some changes. What i really hope is that bandai will do an improved rendition of the VF-17S/D But before these, i would love for a YF-19 super nova version to be released too

Close up of DX YF-19
-
Never got any as i was stuck in a meeting the whole afternoon. Maybe its a good thing afterall
-
It should be 2nd Lt or ass Lt ;). Whats up with the frosty canopy nowadays
-
Most likely im not going for this which is a surprise for me as i prefer my valks to be of roughly the same scale. However if this was a super detailed ver with removable panels and in 1/24 scale. Might considering getting it as a main display piece in fighter mode with ordinance, fast packs everything laid out
