sharpnel Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Can anyone help answer my question? I'm curious if the loose YF-21 canopy is a defect or there is a trick to keep if open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I think one of my 2 21's there was a slight hint of looseness, but nothing like what your experiencing i think. Can you open her up and apply some clear nail polish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 i find the canopy can be a little finicky but once I get it lifted up all the way, it holds open fine. from what your describing though I think yours is unusually loose.

Sumdumgai Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 The canopy on my YF-21 stays open too, even opening it up in battroid mode. Sounds like yours is loose Sharpnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Transformed my YF-19 to battroid mode. Well I was able to pose it around for the first 2 - 3 tries. But after that, the Hip part became loose. Now I cant do the same exact poses I did the first time around. Whenever I extend the leg to a sort of squat position, the body part will sag forward. Is there some sort of remedy for this? You do realize that the legs/hips are made to come off? This is done so that you can spread his legs a bit to give him an anime pose; and in case you spread "too much" - the legs just come off rather than break. Yamato has begun to take a que from companies like Takara on this note - making pieces that come off rather than break off; since it's better if something just comes off and can be replaced back on rather than snaps and is broken. All you have to do is push the hips/legs back into place to make them more sturdy. I've had my YF-19 for 2 years now and it is solid as a rock despite numerous transformations and action poses. For those who owned 1/60 YF-21, do you guys have trouble keeping canopy open in fighter mode? I can't seem to keep it open. Is there a trick to this? My canopy is so loose. I'm not sure if this is a common problem with YF-21. Please advice. Thanks. Are you opening it correctly? Sliding out before flipping up? Again - mine is just fine - but maybe you can try this: 1) slide out, 2) flip up, 3) slightly slide back in while flipped up - this third step should secure it a bit more I would think?
