i hope they would change the canopy to

a clear one so that it will look more realistic.

how about buying one of those fancy vacuum

cleaners with water filters that doubles up as

a air purifier too? i think rainbow is the brand.

but its too expensive for our taste so we bought

a cheaper one.

my 3 year old son likes my yamatos and gundams.

good thing he's currently into ben10 and power rangers.

he knows that the valks are "daddy's toys" but i let him

touch them and hold them a little bit whenever i take

them out of the detolf. but i have to constantly keep

an eye on him. we bought him a small animated

starscream before and he proceeded to remove

all the arms and feet, just keeping the body with

the wings intact. i guess he wants it to look like a

"proper" plane.

or a stealth

I do, I love it in person (that rainbow glow) but on my TV Hikky, the "mirror" apparently made a scratch on the finishing, I barely touched the inside of the cockpit canopy to verify if there was a scratch or it was dust and the thing got worse! Bare fingers and there was a smudge, no more rainbow. I used water to see if it was a stain from my greasy fingers, and then more coating gone. Since it was beyond repair, I used a cotton swab and some alcohol, the whole thing is now gone.

Don't use enamel based thinner, that may "cloud" the clear plastic. If you hate it, alcohol will do the job.

I miss my coating!!

aha!

same thing that happened to my 1A!

at first i thought that the coating was

something like a tint or sticker and when

i thought i saw some "bubble" i proceeded

to flatten it with my fingers and some of

it came off! same thing when using a

cotton bud. i'm leaving it in battroid.

can't bear to remove the whole coating.

geepogi,

If you can see if there is any other alternative like placing a small rubber disc inside the ball joint, or adding a small shim to increase friction. These can be removed in the future event that you need to replace the parts.

NB4M,

Thanks! Will try it when i find some time to operate.

thanks for being so helpful guys!

seriously, i have only transformed it to gerwalk once.

battroid never. anyway, i am temporarily using the

stand to stabilise it. i used to pose it by itself but

everytime the display case was bumped, it's legs

will splay and it will fall over.

was thinking of applying nail polish to the joint.

anyone here got the v2 mg zakus?

i must say that i feel like throwing

away my old one now that i have

the new v2. they are just fantastic!

got the F type. am now planning on

getting char's S type. i really love

how the hands are big and the fingers

are so articulated.

I am unsure as to whether the severed intenstins are anime accurate though - a tad bit more bubbly they should be methinks

Pete

those are small legs right?

help!

my sv-51 is so floppy at the legs, at the thighs, to be more specific.

just a slight bump to her glass cage will send her gerwalk mode

to "squat" mode. is there anyway to tighten the joint at the thighs?

i see a screw at that location. just don't know if tightening or opening

it will do more harm than good.

anyway, anyone ever fixed their sv-51's?

TIA!

i have trouble posing my 1A with the FP's.

i just pose it with the arm and leg parts.

it has been mentioned in the 1/60 cannon fodder topic

that this scheme may not be made. was also hoping...

If you want a flawless VF-0, get the recent reissue VF-0S.

Graham

how can one know if it is the reissued vf-0S?

this is stand alone right?

Minutes? I could do it in seconds!

i don't see myself having the same problem as you guys.

i'll be bringing my wife.

wow!

just wow!

better than going to toys r us.

my cannon fodder is a little bit loose on the

joint at the thigh, the part which helps to

splay the legs, just above the knees. any

advise on how to tighten it?

gerwalk mode is my favorite. i also like

the ivanov but the problem is how to be

sure you are getting the fixed version as

they both come in the same packaging,

without any differentiating marks, IIRC.

sorry bro.

got carried away.

was commenting that there are a lot

of filipinos here at the forums.

With pleasure, sir...

eeekkk!

ok. enough pics!

solid gold?

enough discussion.

more pics!

First rule of weathering a plane: "front to back". Unless it's old and spends more time sitting and leaking than flying. Then it's top to bottom.

haha.

yup. the bright white clashes with the weathering

and it's too uniform. hikaru must always be doing

somersaults and roll overs.

how about the zeong?

it's ugly but i still like it!

Turn-A Gundam is going to enter the discussion at some point, perhaps unfairly.

it already did.

Just got the silver Alternity Prime. Really cool figure with a simple yet slightly complex in the legs transformation. Very heavy, full of tons of diecast.

what turned me off from this line is that there is no

articulation in the hand, that is, it's fixed pose.

am i right? otherwise, it really looks nice.

wow! dami ng pinoy ah!

my oh my! look at those v.1 hands!

just horrible! good thing i didn't

have money to spare when these

v.1's first came out.

i'm sure these things looked

great when they first came out.

i wonder how i would view my

v.2 a few years from now?

i don't expect there will be

anymore significant changes.

the v.2's just look awesome!

just wishing for fully articulated

fingers and no breakages.
