1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hssss....I just noticed that. For our sake I hope that particular piece is detachable, or at least in the form of some kind of flexible material, although that would ruin the model-esque nature of the "toy." Yeah I agree. That thing looks fragile. Whatever the material they used for the bandai 1/65 vf17s headlaser, I think something like that would be good material for this part. I liked how it was bendy but ALSO firm so that if you tried to bend it out of shape, it would bounce back into its proper form. The banprestos on the other hand have deformed headlaser from being too soft and now they look silly because they are bent in the wrong shape. You pretty much have to bend them back again to make them look straight. There has to be a middle ground where it is hard enough not to look deformed, but soft and flexible so that if you drop it, the piece doesn't snap.

promethuem5 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I love everything about it expcet the chicken hands.... MG style hands or at least some fixed pose ones ywould be great as we already know that the Chicken Hands blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Maybe that is one of the reasons the hand is not fully extended? Because of the complaints about the loose wrist of the chicken hands making the gunpod wobbly? So instead of extending it out fully it is kept half within the sleeve to support the meaty gunpod? Remember how wobbly the vf1 wrist gets when holding the gunpod? They need to make that wrist tighter if possible. Oh btw are they still going to include the rotating seat gimmick somebody mentioned ages ago? That would be cool. Judging by the pics looks like the gunpod scrapes the ground in fighter mode or at least is very close to it. Maybe they should put a magnet inside the gunpod so it sits flush all the time?

Graham Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Guys, I've got some more information on the 1/60 VF-0S from a very reliable source: - Some of this info we know already, but some is new. 1) Leg superparts are magnet attached to avoid ugly hole on the lower leg. (We know this already) 2) Rear landing gear has a lock function to prevent the gear from collapsing. 3) The rear landing gear shafts actually spread out when you open and lock the landing gear, just like on a real plane. 4) Sliding function added on the chest piece so that battroid torso looks shorter. 5) Cockpit seat can rotate. (we know this already). 6) Nose pitot tube is designed to be detachable, so that it will not be damaged during transformation.

I actually prefer the normal grey VF-0D to Shin's blue version. I have my Hasegawa VF-0D painted that way. Why did you write VF-0A Nora Fodder? Nora doesn't fly a VF-0A. Don't you mean Cannon Fodder?

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) Excellent can't wait to see some detailed pics of these little gimmicks. Why did you write VF-0A Nora Fodder? Nora doesn't fly a VF-0A. Don't you mean Cannon Fodder? Probably means "CF for Nora to shoot down" given she is pretty much the milia of Mac 0.

jenius Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 If they made the little tube jutting off the front diecast? I think that'd be dangerous (as in, poke an eye out). Plus, if you dropped your toy or even had the front landing gear collapse while rolling it you'd risk bending it or chipping the paint.

Mr March Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Looking at the pictures more closely, the official photographs show a definite wing overlap for battroid mode. This is more clear than any previous photos. The overlap is almost like the CGI and lineart of the VF-0. It's impressive that they were able to get this Valkyrie so close to the original computer models and drawings. Though I supposed being designed more realistically from the beginning (as a CG model would demand) helped bring the anime and the toy closer.

I REALLY hope we get a VF-0D and SV-51 now. The VF-0S seems awesome, hell I wouldn't mind a VF-0B based on the hasegawa version, that looked pretty cool!

kensei Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) That looks awesome. I reckon the valk is perfectly porportioned in Battroid mode. The gunpos is realy low to the ground, but at least it clears it. I would like to see rear profile of the VF-0 in fighter. I want to see how the hands are placed while in fighter. Stickers looks to be crap again by the way. Looks to have a removable nosecone to allow for for one with an antennae, and one without. Just look at that pilot!
