rdrunner Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 10 hours ago, Shizuka the Cat said: It is more that when a valkyrie in Gerwalk mode is descending with its feet down, I keep asking myself where that downward force vector is coming from. In atmosphere, I get that the downward force can be from gravity, presumably 9.8 m/s^2 minus the counter thrust from the feet for a controlled descent.... but in space when a valkyrie "descends" onto a surface with its legs down, my mind starts racing a bit. LOL You know those “nozzles” that look like two semicircles? They are supposed to be small thrusters around the valk to control movement. So it is possible that the downward thrust comes from these. But Anime magic is probably the more believable answer. I mean, if the laws of physics held in the anime, Hikaru would have died a very ugly death the moment he went outside that airlock without a pressurized space suit and helmet...

Sildani Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Look on the bottom of the VF-1 and you’ll see four of those circular thrusters. They are sufficiently powerful to lift a Super Ostrich in fighter mode into full VTOL flight from Earth’s surface. So they have more oomph than they may appear!

Alex GS Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 just got this my first HMR Valkyrie Not sure why is called Hi Metal cause there isn't too much diecast to begin with, still the plastic quality in the whole figure and its accessory is damn great , not to mention the Valkyrie itself is very well detailed for such a small figure, so yeah looking forward to own my next HMR the Super Ostrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct! I believe that that this one with Max (and the green coloured one?) was in one of the scenes in DYRL. It's been a awhile since I saw DYRL (bootlegged version) on DVD.

iguanaman8989 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) This month’s HLJ haul. Zoids are nice to mix things up from the usual humanoid Gundam kits. Daizyuzin Minipla was on sale, plus it’s a nifty, comparatively inexpensive representation of the mecha. The newest main character Gundam kit, yeah it’s based on an older kit, but it’s a solid and poseable build. And the newest Lupinranger mecha, Scissors and Blade Dial Fighters, a pair of bladed stealth based fighter jets. (Plus this month’s free campaign item, the hammer dial fighter) Edited April 28, 2018 by iguanaman8989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The special platings that aren't mirror finish actually look really nice, they end up with highlights and panel lines by default due to how the coating works.

And liking jets can foster an interest that can lead to a career in engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, and more! So definitely encourage your daughter.... or son for that matter.... to pick up a variety of interests that may just look cool to a kid, but can influence them into adulthood and beyond. I told my wife just last week that I am dissappointed in women, because the views on my youtube mecha page are 100% male. Is my hobby that unappealing?

borgified Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) @sh9000: You managed to get a copy of the HMR VF-1J with the GBP at last! @Shizuka the Cat: That would be Agent Smith from "The Matrix Trilogy" played by Hugo Weaving (Ninjaed by @505thAirborne before my post). He also did Elrond in the "Lord of the Rings" and in "The Hobbit" Trilogies plus other movies. @Sildanihas a avatar of him as Elrond with the sunglasses. This just came in yesterday afternoon via Amazon. Don't have to drive around the town around to look for this anymore and also pay close to $100 CND (before taxes) for this..
