    That's just a painted resin prototype. You can see the white areas where the blue paint has chipped off of what would have otherwise been blue plastic. Yamato always seems to have stuff propping up their resin prototypes. Definitely not a worry.

    How is the YF-29 badly flawed? I'm not aware of any issues other than the joint looseness and poor paint adhesion that plagues all of Bandai's DX valkyrie releases. I suppose one other issue I have on mine is that the pink area on one of the wing mounted engines is only half painted, but that's mainly a cosmetic detail as well.

    There's already a thread on the first page devoted to the VF-19S, F and P >.> But thanks for the effort anyway

    I think the only Bandai release that included stickers was the VB-6 so people could choose their own nose art.

    Are people really buying it for that much? It was only just released this year. Not sure why Bandai doesn't do another batch if demand is high enough that people will pay that much for one.

    Some more Frontier stuff. Really wish Bandai would come out with a New Macross carrier.

    Just checked the link. It still shows: Stock status Now on sale Temporary sold out That seems like a good sign to me that it's selling well despite there probably being a lot of people waiting to get the full armor package. Hopefully the good sales numbers will get Bandai to release the VF-25S w/ full armor in retail. I hope the armored version will look as good as the 1/72 model with the same colors. That looked pretty badass. The armor color on the DX version was just completely wrong among other things.

    I agree. I think I will tint mine with a tad bit of gray to take the edge off the stark whiteness when I get it.

    I have, but more to keep weathering and panel lining I've applied from rubbing off the glossy plastic while transforming them than to keep the paint from coming off. Whatever is likely to scrape the paint off is just as likely to scrape the clearcoat off and it might still take the paint with it.

    If the feet were that big in battroid, it would be way too big in fighter mode. It wouldn't even fit back inside the leg.

    Well, I'm not sure about your method, but one easy way is to just pull the info right from your browser's cache Load all the pics in the viewer and then look in the cache. For Firefox, just type about:cache and view the list entries. You guys would see something like "http://www.yamato-toys.com/photo_data/viewzoom/11/1956/a/001b.jpg?1317660614858" as the URL. Then download if you want. Edit: You can also pull the file from your hard drive since it should be already there. For Firefox, clicking the cache entry will also show "file on disk:" followed by its location.

    Wow! That looks awesome. I'm especially liking that battroid mode pic.
  13. MacrossJunkie
    Send me one and I'll do it

    RAAAWR! König Monster! Pics of it seem to be rare. Not sure if it's because people don't like it, don't have it, or both.
  15. MacrossJunkie
    I think you meant to post this in the VF-19 Kai thread? Anyway, this review has already been lambasted and ridiculed Linky to the ridicule
  16. MacrossJunkie
    Dangly bits apparently.

    Ooooh, great pics from everyone. Mecha pr0n for all. Let's crank it up some more. This thread goes to 11! whew... all done. Edit: made pics links to larger versions.
  18. MacrossJunkie
    Nah, that's just battle damage. It's an undocumented feature!
  19. MacrossJunkie
    Hmmm, yep. Ozma is definitely much better sculpted and painted than the YF-29's blobble-head Alto.
  20. MacrossJunkie
    Alright, something a tad newer then? Edit: made pics links to larger versions.
  21. MacrossJunkie
    Some more VF-22 love. Edit: made pics links to larger versions.

    I think you may be right about the newer T-bar locking mechanism fixing the issue. The only ones I have that have the old version are the 2-seaters where the raised collar is not an issue anyway. With the other V2's that I have, the rest can have the T-bar locked in without pushing the fuselage up the slider if you choose not to. TL;DR version: I think Yamato already solved the problem and don't need to waste more time and resources on this.
  23. MacrossJunkie
    Does it look to anyone else that the Ozma pilot figure looks even better painted and detailed than the Alto that came with the YF-29? I'm not at home to check, but it just seems that way to me from looking at the picture.
  24. MacrossJunkie
    That looks awesome. Doesn't look like they reverted back to using pvc for the head guns like they did with the YF-29 and the visor parts look clear now instead of merely being painted. Tempted to get this release, but it seems pretty much inevitable that they will release a full armor version.
  25. MacrossJunkie
    Alternatively, you can just avoid pushing the fuselage up the slider all the way. That's what I did with my Max VF-1A in these shots. And of course, it's completely a non-issue on the 2 seaters like the VF-1D where there is no dip at the top of the chest piece and is instead completely level.
