regult Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I know this has probably been discussed, but I am just still confused and concerned, because I now really want to buy a VF-0 Shin, would it be correct to wrap it up like this: 1) first edition VF-0 (S or A?) has biceps that blow up/shatter with the slightest blow of air 2) VF-0A has a screw that supposedly fixes the "self-exploding arms", but it's impossible to tell until it really shatters? 3) VF-0S w/ghost is certainly fixed and will not shatter 4) VF-0A Shin Kudo is yet to be re-released with the shatter-proof arms? I got the Nora SV-51 and now I REALLY would like to get Shin's VF-0, Roy's looks good, and its supposed to be safe, but that means I'd crave a DD SV-51...(which has self-exploding wings!) you get the drift?...is there a safe Shin that I could add to the dogfight?

Javabean Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Got my 0S on Sat! Now busy applying stickers & will be trying out the transformation. Shall report the outcome later on. Here are 2 pics on day of arrival. Notice Yamato uses bubbles & soft cardboard to protect the tail fins, after several reports of breakage on first 0S release. I don't see such cushions used on my 2 OAs. Edited January 11, 2009 by Javabean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 How solid is it in fighter mode? Is it a floppy mess? And are all the skulls straight? There have been reports of the heat shield skull being crooked. -Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been reports of the heat shield skull being crooked. -Kyp The fighter does feel tight & no floppiness at this moment. But I hv to wait & see after I hv made 1 transformation back to fighter mode again to tell the difference. On closer look, the skull does look a bit off to the right. Its hardly noticeable if you hv not asked me to chk. But I'm perfectly fine with it I'll go back chk the skulls on the tailfin.

Javabean Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Not yet, pray not I'm still halfway applying stickers first. Kinda scare after reading so many reports of breakage. Will take extra precautions handling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) I'll be going through the modes without fear, Shin 0A supposeably had problems, and i've gone through it's mode changes many times. Can't wait to get mine, this weekend i'll have her. Edited January 12, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'll be going through the modes without fear, my Shin is supposeably had problems, and i've gone through it's mode changes many times. Yeah but Graham was told 1/2 of Shin's shipped out were fixed, 1/2 were screwed. Yours must be fixed. Anyways I hope it is, it would suck to have a broken 0, it is one of the most beautiful valk designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah it is, and because of all the reports of VF-0S first ones i almost blood oathed never to get a 0S and only need the VF-0A Shin. But watching Zero over and over again, It's all about Roy man, i HAD to get one, and Overdrive gave us some hope! (didn't want a Ghost pack...)

edwin3060 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Joint pics of the v.2/revisioned VF-0S. Differences? Well, I don't see any differences with my VF-0A... I guess I must have gotten one of the fixed ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Joint pics of the v.2/revisioned VF-0S. Differences? Hey Ruskii, I boxed my VF-0A & 0S up a while ago, since they both ended up having some arm troubles. Does your new VF-0S seem any stronger, weaker? New arm design? Do the joints lock up any better than the 1st versions? Hope your is trouble free!! Peace ***Would be nice for Yamato to just come out & say ITS FIXED or NEW & IMPROVED!!*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) As i mentioned in the mecha pose thread (check out my pics! :-P) she (the VF-0S re-issue/re-vision/v.2) is super TIGHT. She has tightness all over, and even the legs lock up properly in fighter mode (something my Shin 0A does not) and even when pushing the cockpit/neck back up for Battroid mode it was extremely tough, had me thinking if i pressed any harder it would break something LOL. So yeah , go ahead and get one of these, don't know if you can tell (besides obvious extra padding whilst packaged up (Javabean posted pics of this, mines exactly the same), we both got ours from Overdrive. They were the ones that gave us the heads up stating this release was reworked better for the arms/shoulders. Get one! It's perfect just like both of my YF-21 1/60's... I'm not sure about the arms being a new design, as i didnt' have time to break out Shin over the weekend. Someone else confirm?

m0n5t3r Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 she (the VF-0S re-issue/re-vision/v.2) is super TIGHT. a TIGHT "she" is indeed very NICE! ...don't know if you can tell (besides obvious extra padding whilst packaged up (Javabean posted pics of this, mines exactly the same), we both got ours from Overdrive. i'm assuming you can see the extra padding from the box's window... at least there's a way to tell that you're getting the updated release or not w/out opening the box.

Cent Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 The arm shoulder appearance seems the same as a VF-0S v.1. Except I guess for the extra screw that the VF-0As have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javabean Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Most of the joints are indeed tight, esp the cockpit. In fact I broke the instrument panel when trying to push it back! (I recalled later a member hv the same experience & Graham advised to push the pilot instead) Anyway some dabs of superglue solved the broken part. Even the wings are tight to swivel about as compared to my 0As. As for shoulder joints, i cud not tell the difference fm 0As. They look & feel about the same. I hv the shoulder joints picture taken side by side with the 0A which I will post it later. Overall the 0S in battroid is awesome. Glad I bought it! I will report back with pictures back home today.

regult Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Sorry to insist, but again, there is only VF-0S arm fix and some CF VF-0A with the good shoulder and some with the bad one STILL no VF-0A "SHIN" stand-alone reissue whatsoever on the horizon?

regult Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Actually I believe it was the Shin 0A that had some good some bad whilst the CF was "stay the hell away". Well, I heard horror stories about the Ivanov and never got that, didn't like the light sand on the CF SV-51 so I went Nora, with golden feathers and all...mostly because I got the overall impression it was safe...YET, the wings are still floppy, there is a huge gap int he left sholder/wingroot lex in fighter mode...guess the Ivanov must then be horrible and this is acceptable for the price tag! Anyway, love the way the Nora SV-51 looks 90% accurate to the 3D model and it's huge, it's very menacing in Gerwal...and it needs a Shin VF-0 to fight with!!! It's a bit ironic how we got 1) Ivanov floppy vs. fixed arm Roy 2) a mess of Shin vs. fixed Nora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javabean Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 As for shoulder joints, i cud not tell the difference fm 0As. They look & feel about the same. I hv the shoulder joints picture taken side by side with the 0A which I will post it later. Here are the shoulder joint comparison btwn 0A CF & 0S Focker. Can't tell the difference in material wise. The only noticable thing is there is a black rubber material inside the shoulder ball joints, possibly to prevent the arm fm floppy down. This is also found on my 0A Shin but not on the 0A CF. Front view of the 0S head shield. The skull seems to be slightly off to the right side but this is fine by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've been told the black rubber-like material inside the shouder socket is PE, not PVC. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
