kaiotheforsaken Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Please don't there are not just enough for us around to buy! :P/> Glad you like it. :)/> Haha but the 25G looks so out of place with all my Yamato Valks. I need to pre order one more 171 CF at least so he has a posse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twoducks Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Here it is in fighter mode with the Ozma parts and the V1 S head (Remember that the blue is not that bright in person). Head does nor sit flush (but I have not tinkered with it). But when you add the chest armor ir covers it. Have not used the kit S head but I think it would fit a lot better. I like the look of the brighter Alto parts. I’ll try them on in person later with a little twist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCracker Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 that looks good, IMHO. can't wait to try this out once i get my armored parts out of storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takatoys Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Is it safe to put the armor packs and leave the valk in battloid mode for a long period? My V1 Ozma suffered cracks due to the weight of the armor. Glad I sold it on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My V1 Ozma suffered cracks due to the weight of the armor. Glad I sold it on time. I was wondering something similar. Is there a way to pad or protect your valk from being scuffed up by the Super Parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Cool pics TCracker! Glad the idea was found usefull! At least in my case, it has negated the need to get an Ozma at all cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 At this point you're better off just getting a decent airbrush and popping on some dark ghost grey on the 25G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I think it would look a million times better if you just used the 25G head and hands. I've never been that big a fan of the 25S head (it's my least favorite of all the head designs applied to any YF/VF-24/25/27/29/30/etc. derivative) but the DX v.1 head is just an abomination.

TCracker Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Point taken. The parts are swappable anyways. But for now this Valk is designated VF25S Blue Jolly Roger Unit TCracker Custom.

KH355hamdi Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I beleive the chest piece on Ozma is different then the rest of the VF-25. His one got two bumps on the side and probably have different profiles as well to house the forward facing head. When I transform my VF-25S Renewal it is easier to pull out the chest piece to allow the big head to come out without scratching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I believe all the VF's have different chest, back and collar plates. The Models were like this (cept for the collar plates) This is why there's no indentations on the sides to put the lasers down farther on the 25G like the 25S and F backplates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head, chest, back and neck was changed for every release to get the proper profile in fighter mode, where as the v1's just squashed the hell out of the head sculpts and put funky bevels in the chest and back plates so every head would sort of kind of fit using the same set of parts. (and by fit I mean have ugly gaps and make the spine of the fighter mode look broken). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auberondreaming Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 So has there been any word on a reissue of any of the renewal vf-25's?

Scyla Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Now that we have come so far to swap parts of our Valkyries I do have a question. Is it possible to separate the two parts of the from the codpiece of the Super and Armor Parts and switch them to create a more Anime accurate one for the Super Parts. What I mean is to take the outer piece of the Armored Parts and combine it with the insert of the Super Parts to get a Super Parts codpiece with a black outline as shown in the line-art. It's the same with the hip guards the armored one lack the markings of the Super Parts and the top has the wrong color but they would snap on more securely and would solve that issue. If this would work you don't even have to get a new Set because the Armored Parts come with two codpieces. Of course you have to buy both versions of the add-on sets. I don't want to encourage anyone to break their Valkyries but someone on the boards that has more experience with toys could look into it.
