regult Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 well, if we get a VF-100s SMS Monster Canaria custom with the not very politically correct depiction of Ranka's nose art thingy, uh...hope it's not the same Yamato mold (isn't it different?), and neither a crazy partsformer like the current VF-25, since it's humongous-huge, a close to PT is quite possible, but would come at a high price tag. honestly, I think Bandai's going to concentrate on fighters, and leave the Monster unattended for a while, I'd like to be wrong though.

I agree with you, and I hope we are both wrong. But it seems to be more likely that Bandai will do the VF-27 and the VF-171 first... And even the Vajras before the Monster.

edwin3060 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yep.. I do hope they make more announcements of new designs soon though rather than going through the whole VF-25 Armoured/Super pack lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I got my VF-25F last night at HK$201 (~US$25.7). I finally found one with a relatively clean face! And it is less floppy than my 25S. I used to think VF100 would be good for fighter mode. But the legs wouldn't stay in the engine position. I used to think VF100 gerwalk makes the best pose out of the 3 lines (DX, model, VF100). That is true, but I can't make it stand well in those cool poses. I need stands for this mode... Are the VF100 stands released? So at the end I pose them in battroid mode... which looks good.

biggooftoybox Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yeah it's been really quiet. All we have next in the VF100s line is the VF-19 custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the stands in stores... thy're actually "generic" stand for action figures that also work with the VF100's. BUt you might as well try the Bandai stands for model kits, the small ones... or even the SMS stand. They suit these things perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 The official stand that Bandai was promoting for the VF100s was criticised for not allowing a spread leg stance in Gerwalk mode. IIRC, it only allows the legs to be positioned parallel to each other, straight down. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ff95gj Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Thanks everyone! I know the attachment unit they come with the VF100; it just asks you to pin the legs in parallel together. That ruins 1/3 of the point of owning a VF100. In fact I don't have much display space, so battroid mode save the most. When I take pics I'll borrow the stands from the model kits.

505thAirborne Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yea. I wish they'd announce the VF-171 or VF-27 or something. I'd much rather see these coming next than the VF-19 Kai version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 The VF-X2 VF-19A didn't sell that well.Is that why Yamato is opting for the Bird of Prey/Double Nuts paint schemes instead of a VF-19A Ravens scheme for their 1/60 YF-19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regult Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Wait a minute is the past photos the hips were in the correct position and now there back to Dx position?

jenius Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 You gotta figure that if they put the hip back where they had it on their first release then there is a reason for that... like stability, cost or less partsforming.

carzooyah Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I recently got myself a VF-25S and despite the horrible partsforming, I see myself going on and purchase the rest of this line. Bottomline is they look great, the paint application is good and the finish looks durable (accidentally scratched a few places heavily and not a scratch anywhere yet. I can't afford a 1/60, so this is as close as my budget will take me. It's not for everyone, but for someone like me it's awesome enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twich Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hello, I see myself only being able to get a VF100 VF-25, I would prefer the VF-25S, armored would be better, but where is the cheapest place for an american to order on of these things? I have skimmed the 21 pages of the thread and I saw mentioned that the price was reduced? But I still see them for sale for 40-50 USD. Is this the reduced price? Any help or direction would be appreciated. Twich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is a trade-off in the toy world. Isn't the battroid crotch a single piece that's only used in battroid mode anyways? And since there's extra armor on the crotch they'd need to redesign that part anyways (this can only be displayed as the armored version right?), how much harder/more expensive would it be to move the hip bar down a few millimeters while they're at it? Unless moving the legs down a few millimeters suddenly makes this impossibly top heavy or something (which I doubt) I see no reason to not produce it with a fixed crotch after showing it as such. Now in bandai's defense, it could be that since it's a prototype maybe they ended up using the old crotch instead of the new one, and the final product will be fixed.

Graham Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 Yes, given that the crotch is a seperate removable peice, used only for battroid mode, there is absolutely no reason why the leg position could not be changed. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
