m0n5t3r Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 i wonder what's behind the left thigh in the 3rd pic that's keeping the crotch sticking out and the underside of the front fuselage angled like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 i wonder what's behind the left thigh in the 3rd pic that's keeping the crotch sticking out and the underside of the front fuselage angled like that. Maybe this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0n5t3r Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Maybe this? here's the "pelvic-thrust" discussion from the old VF-27 thread - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=32802&view=findpost&p=859678 on the DX 25 and 27 you'd have to split the part of the forward fuselage behind the crotch to get it to angle out... this also enables the waist joint. the problem was, the waist joint is so loose to even bother with making the crotch angle out... and you'd have to "cheat" like what Renato did. i was just wondering if they're cheating in that pic too...

Chronocidal Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Looks like the legs are nice and high on that pic, so I'm eagerly awaiting this one. Though, the little wing tips outside the boosters look kind of droopy, hope that isn't the new version of the flappy VF-25 wings. I really hope they came up with a better stand this time though. The modular design for the attachment point on that stand was the quickest way to guarantee that if I ever left my VF-25 on it for more than a few minutes, I'd find myself watching the plane fall right off the back of the stand as the mount fell apart.

UN Spacy Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 AmiAmi opened up the preorder for the YF-29 again.

Chronocidal Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Oh, yeah, that's why that last set of pictures looks odd... it's not fully painted either. They forgot to paint the wing tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) Damn guys, I may just pick this up. Does anyone know if there are any safety plastic pieces??? The Macross-F DX toys always bothered me with the safety plastic for the Mauler beams. It made the VF look like a bug lol. On the DX Quarter they used alot of safety plastic that really turned me off too. I am an adult damnit! if I shed blood playing with a valk it makes me respect the power of a vf even more I have actually taken damage twice from a valk, my VF-19 and my YF-19. I wonder though if the YF-29 is the turning point for the series and they got it all nailed this time. Edited June 15, 2011 by Loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regult Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Looks pretty nice, but all these pics do is increase my anticipation for a proper VF-25 yeah, same here. It's all pretty good, the only problem for me is that it's not a VF-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hey, a bit off topic now… According to this guy at http://tamashii.jp/t...u.php?eid=00021 the YF-29 could be called like that because this year is the 29th anniversary of the franchise… Is that just a guessing or the whole theory about the VFs with a #9 having forward swept wings is no more than a coincidence?

Chronocidal Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 True, it's only really three and a half years. Due to lateness of the premier, and relative earlyness of the month. But still.. I was still in college when it came out. Those were good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanedaestes Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It really doesn't seem to add that much, they could've easily packaged this with the regular release. At least with the YF-19 FP release they included the Fold Booster though that was a different company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) It's growing on me in fighter mode but battroid - how on earth is it going to stand up with all that weight on the wings? Robot mode looks the best to me. Hopefully this doesn't fall over like the 1/60 qrau. Mine can't take the huge back pack by itself and I have to lean it against something.

Twoducks Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Those Fast Packs are really just for Gerwalk and Fighter. You have to look carefully to see them in Battroid. An easy pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
