Bub Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Just a quick question: Did the VF-1, while in battroid mode, ever twist its waist/nose cone in the TV series or Movie? Any screen shot perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I have a funny feeling that Hikaru's DX 1s (and other related items) will be heavily displayed at the Tamashii Nations exhibit this weekend. Well see if there is anymore teased items in the pipeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 They made like an eight foot tall VF-1S for the display... That's why you have the feeling it will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well see if there is anymore teased items in the pipeline. Will be there in two weeks! What are the chances they will actually have anything for sale? ETA: $hit, I just checked there hours. I'm going to be there on a Monday morning, but they're not open until 12pm.....and it might be some sort of national holiday that weekend so who knows if their hours will be affected.

canklebreaker Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Nice pics everyone. @saburo your battroid pics are making me rethink if I should try to pick up Max. The color blocking looks good in batrroid mode but I feel it’s kinda weird in fighter mode with the big blue panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 @Lolicon do us a favor a reshoot all your weathered Valks when you got a DSLR If that is still being shot handheld, a cheapo tripod will help a lot, together with Manual or semi auto exposure (set the ISO to lowest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking at different entry level DSLRs to see which is best for a tightwad like myself. When I see pics from the masters like @Saburo or @Kuma Style I think "man, my pics look like dog crap."

Not on the tip of the nose cone near the hips like in the DX. Thanks for the pix. I might as well watch the whole series and movie again.

When I see pics from the masters like @Saburo or @Kuma Style I think "man, my pics look like dog crap." But your Valk is so sweet. So your photo looks so nice. Maybe that is the reason for getting even better results with a "better" camera. If you don't mind used, there are a lot of good value lightly used DSLR (or mirrorless such as the Sony A6000) that you can find for below $300 with a simple lens. I can also recommend some very nice old manual focus lens that can be easily adapted to the A6000 via a cheap adaptor ($15). A lot of people argue that spending some cash on lighting will be much more important than the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamoJoe Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 It's probably been asked before, but does anyone have any tips for keeping the gun stable in the skeleton hands? It seems like if I don't brace the gun against the inner arm I just can't keep it very stable. Also Valks and giant space Pikachu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the official release date. Like all other Bandai release dates, they tend to start to trickle out a day or two before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
