promethuem5 Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi, I just got the Roy Fokker colored Strike armor Banpresto perfect transformation fig. I had a norma super valk one before this, and wasnt pleased with it until i did some serious modding it needed, including the clear nail polish on the ball joints. I also needed to mod the forearm armor because they just sat on there and did not stay properly, so i drilled two pin pegs into each. Upon opening the strike super one, i was astounded! The first thing i noticed is that the ball joints didnt flop around quite as much. Needless to say they will still need the nail polish, but they were better than the other one. I also noted that there are now pegs and holes for the forearm armor! exactly what it needed, a small peg with a discreet hole opn the underside of the arm. This is what i like to see, actual imporvements to a toy line as it progresses. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-19 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 No I'm quite sure you're not delusional. If you were, you'd think Roy is talking to you. I have both the Roy and Hikaru Strikes, and they both have the pegs and slight firmness you mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyryder Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Interesting. I've been wanting to get a strike, anyway. On my supers I managed to modify my arm armor and arms to actually engage one another. Mine wouldn't stay on at al, before that. Do the arms still pop off as easily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druna Skass Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 If all else fail, I've found that a thick layer of paint will solve just about all of a Banpresto's problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechafan Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 has anyone else noticed this, or am i comletely dillusional? Nope you are not. I have 12 Strike ones and they are made well. Wow I forgot how long these have been out. I think from checking other posts that I got the first one in November 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
