logos Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Man I would by one if I didn't have to pay for a VT-1 and a VF-22 in the next couple of months. I am literally taped and struggling to decide whether I should get a SV-51 Nora that is on sale right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 An update: I've finally read from another source; the swapable part is the neck joint. I've seen extendable necks for 25S on sale on Yahoo JP auction; and Bandai doesn't care enough to do that. Just swapped parts... No I am not surprised. Yeah I know I should be thankful for the hard lasers and swapable neck. Wow, that is really lazy of them. It better be because their designers are too hard at work to take time away from the VF-171 or VF-27 to make a decent neck design for the 25S. How does the 1/72 VF-25S model handle the whole head/neck thing? It doesn't seem to suffer from the same problem as the DX version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the 1/72 VF-25S model handle the whole head/neck thing? It doesn't seem to suffer from the same problem as the DX version. The model has a neck component that pushes up in battroid mode to hold the head higher. Excuse me if I don't explain it well enough; but there are ways to do it and definitely not involving rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCracker Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 well, I guess I will have to use my spare revoltech joints for the neck extension, even on this supposedly new and improved version of VF25S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb_f1 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) The model has a neck component that pushes up in battroid mode to hold the head higher. Excuse me if I don't explain it well enough; but there are ways to do it and definitely not involving rocket science. Ya can't they just do a hatch or something to lock it or to push higher .

logos Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) After watching MacF I really wanna get my hands on some nice Toys... as for now I own two 1/48 scale Hikaru Yamato ones one of 'em with SUper Strike Parts. That all I have and know about Macross and that's why my question ist... Where to get the Frontier Toys (I live in Europe so which online source is best)? I only know hlj.com but they don't have ozma and alto anymore. Furthermore I'm afraid of buying something outdated, after ready all that re-isue stuff... would you wait or can I buy 'em without further thoughts and without worrying about buying crap? I hope it's okay to ask these question, though I might get my answers by reading all the 30 pages and 4 other MacF Dx threads... but feeling somewhat lost, I hope someone can help me faster and reliable.

jc07 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Does this toy count as a limited item? I've seen online sites that say they are "Discontinued". I'm waiting maybe they will release DX versions of the upcoming movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Those exclusive additions are awesome. Too bad they're like $100. I'm so far behind on collecting, I'm just gonna go at my own pace now, instead the pace at which all these things are coming out in. I can't keep buying 5 and 6 versions of the same thing all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Not sure I will display the Super Fold Booster. It's a little too pink. Yeah, I know it was that way in the anime, but really on the toy, it looks very gay IMO. Love the missiles and Ghost though. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonvar Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Its true though, if the pink were a bit more on the darker side it might look at bit better displayed, but no fold pack for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salamander Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) Its upside down, but its hard to tell with the clear scheme. I don't know whats all the rave about the clear exclusives anyway. '500' instead of '005'? Knowing Bandai and their clear exclusives, it could even be intentional (it actually looks that way - look at the shape of the '5'!). Sometimes they even swap colorschemes... Some people like it, others don't. Since most clear versions aren't canon anyway, I don't think it's much of a problem, but YMMV.
