Chronocidal Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I have a possibly dumb question, but one that has bugged me for pretty much forever on this design... What is with the stupid black gill markings ahead of the wings? And why do they insist on putting those things on EVERY release (minus Isamu's)??
spanner Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 looks to be purely decorative.. I'll admit I would rather them not be there either!
no3Ljm Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 that's awesome the right shade of blue too! i would've been fooled. Hahaha! Good thing I used the 'correct' blue. Thanks David. Cool work noel, bet it would look killer with the supers... 2 Genius Pilots. Do you think they still need Super Parts for their YF-29? hehe! yep it did indeed look convincing! and now I feel like a total jack ass for falling for it! Nice work mate! Thanks Spanner.

I'm pretty sure you guys prefer the 'heart' on the shield of Isamu's YF-29 than the gills from the other releases, right?
spanner Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I'm pretty sure you guys prefer the 'heart' on the shield of Isamu's YF-29 than the gills from the other releases, right? It does kinda look like a heart eh! Wouldn't be fussed if it wasn't there either but its definitely better than those silly gill markings on the other variants..
VF-Zer0S Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I would happily end my Marcoss collection of they ever released a Max YF-29
spanner Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I would happily end my Marcoss collection of they ever released a Max YF-29 nahh.. how about a Max VF-19Advanced or YF-30!?
VF-Zer0S Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 nahh.. how about a Max VF-19Advanced or YF-30!?haha Man if have to restart and stop again only to just restart. It's Madness!
derex3592 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I'd hit it. Yup. Like a biker scout into a big tree on Endor!
anime52k8 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) I'm super sad and upset that a max and milia set isn't happening. I'm legit about to cry. Edited December 6, 2015 by anime52k8
spanner Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I'm super sad and upset that a max and milia set isn't happening. I'm legit about to cry. there there.. im sending you a forum hug! nothing sinister about that guys so don't judge.
spanner Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I always saw the gills more as tiger stripes. If they had actually molded in a slight depression in that particular area making them vents or whatever then yeah the markings would have looked cool! But instead they made it look like a poorly done afterthought.. Looks cheap. But I still love the Valk anyways! Hence why I have all of them!
Sildani Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 Sensor windows maybe? Not painted to avoid interference? And Isamu's doesn't have them because he specified he didn't want them. When you charge in guns blazing, sensors are useless anyway.

Hence why I have all of them!i think it would've looked better if there were more stripes and the stripes were longer. Something like this:
spanner Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 more like a tiger pattern.. yeah that does look pretty good!

no3Ljm Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Wanna grab one... but yeah, he really is too red for me.
spanner Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Wanna grab one... but yeah, he really is too red for me. my son expressed some interest but said the very same thing about the color! just a little too red..
Scyla Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Interestingly the red color is what draws me to this Valkyrie. Too many white Valkyries in my Frontier display area. Edited December 8, 2015 by Scyla
spanner Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 personally I don't mind the red so much, and im glad I have one but not interested in getting another.. But they could have done something a little more interesting with it. Maybe broken the colors up a little bit more. Its quite a different look for Alto especially compared to his VF-25.
no3Ljm Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 my son expressed some interest but said the very same thing about the color! just a little too red.. Smart minds think alike. Your sone and I will get along for sure. Time to buy him some Ube Ice Cream. Hehehe. Interestingly the red color is what draws me to this Valkyrie. Too many white Valkyries in my Frontier display area. That's true and I agree. But still he's too red. Too Millia for me. Hahaha! personally I don't mind the red so much, and im glad I have one but not interested in getting another.. But they could have done something a little more interesting with it. Maybe broken the colors up a little bit more. Its quite a different look for Alto especially compared to his VF-25. And yes, he leaped from Hikaru scheme to Millia scheme in an instant.

Duymon Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Gee.. if only they'd release the super packs again they could sell so much more.....
no3Ljm Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) YF-29 is good looking as is without the super packs. But still he's too red for me. Hehehe. Edited February 11, 2016 by no3ljm
Duymon Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) Super packs or bust ;p They break up the "red" of the wings and make the Alto 29 sexy Edited February 11, 2016 by Duymon
Sandman Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I wonder if they'll include the fixes the newer 29s had like the gerwalk brace (forget what its called)?
Kanedas Bike Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Gee.. if only they'd release the super packs again they could sell so much more..... If only they'd make them easier to order they could sell so much more... -b.

mog_kupo Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Thank you I want one too but I have a feeling it will be avaliable at HLJ and Amiami on the release date
Alberich Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I'm so tempted to this, but a question is there any other Bandai Valk reissue is the near future? I ask because I was late to the VF-25's renewal versions and the VF-25G very pricey right now and I would love to see a reissue of that Valk or the YF-30.
koonfasa Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Tempted, but it's much the same as Percival right? Gotta check which ones I got...
