no3Ljm Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Love it, Lolicon. By the way, I think you forgot to pushed back more the intake section under the chest area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Objectively, the DX VF-1 might be slightly better but I think this is still my favorite too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Bandai decides to make a 1/48 scale for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it sometimes comes loose when fiddling around. Can't wait to pair her up with the new Sv-51! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a bit of panel lining to make it pop. Lolicon's version is just insane, will never match that, but will live to try to make my copy looks less plain. Is yours as yellow as mine? Wonder if it is just the white balance of the camera. Will need to compare this to my other valk in daylight tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will need to compare this to my other valk in daylight tomorrow. Yours is the Yamato version, which used a more beige color; Arcadia used white for the VF-0S. Yours looks to be in great condition too! The Yamato 0S was one of my earliest valks and is still a pretty good toy even with the improvements to valk toys over the years; I still have mine! The only major problem with Yamato's is the plastic in the upper arms had a tendency to, er, disintegrate randomly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkx Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Yours is definitely whiter than mine. But your DX is also slightly whiter than my DX (but less than the VF-0S). Can't be sure with my indoor lighting. Will double check tomorrow in day light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explained it. It is a beige color. The condition is decent. Hopefully, some panel lining will improve the looks a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the process of dusting off the shelves, so taking a few pics while I have some of my valks off their Yetis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumyumgoy Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I hope they redo the VF-25 in the future...I only have a YF-25. I'm watching Frontier for the first time right now and wishing I had those VF-25's. Great stuff @Lolicon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i have to keep repeating this to myself) They look really nice. The renewals were a significant improvement over, well, all the Macross toys Bandai had ever produced up to that point, though this might be more an indictment of Bandai's near Toynami-levels of piss poor past products. (The still great Yamato 1/60 VF-1 came out the same year as Bandai's first VF-25 toys and wow that just made Bandai's efforts look even worse.) The renewal VF-25 is now kinda dated and isn't as good as the VF-31, but it's still a good toy and the best version of it... for now. 14 hours ago, sumyumgoy said: I hope they redo the VF-25 in the future...I only have a YF-25.

Frontier is probably the best Macross show to come out since the original series and I remain ever hopeful that Bandai will revisit the VF-25 and give us a new, improved version with all the progress made over the years.

Lolicon Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Seeing my old VE-1 pics I thought I'd compare them with current pics. I didn't even have the Fiskars mat back in the distant past of several weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
