Oh good, I was hoping you could do that like on the Arcadia version. With wings splayed out so wide in Battroid looked positively stupid to me.

Spider-Man: Homecoming, in theaters July 7, 2017

He really wants the job, huh? -
Well my 19 from HLJ has passed through Anchorage and after threat of legal action Play-Asia officially cancelled my order (after I did it from their website three times) and credited back my credit card.
-
Wow, that is fast. I'm still waiting for an update on mine but it looks like it's still sitting in Japan.
-
Maybe the rivet tightening trick ChaoticYeti talked about on the Arcdia model works here as well? Nice to know that Bandai can still frakk up obvious details Arcadia missed as well.
-
Do the wings actually snap in place where they're supposed to or is it friction based like the Arcadia version?
-
It is interesting in how many ways Arcadia is looking into tweaking the 0A and S to be better than the D. Would be nice if they fixed the crap ankles though.
-
It's not just you, it has the same sort of problem the Yammie V.1 did. It makes the side view for fighter and Gerwalk look terrible.
-
I don't see what the problem is, it can actually be posed decently in Gerwalk unlike the Arcadia version. Aaaaaaaaaand there's the brokeback fighter look from the original Yammie.
-
Well HLJ and Play Asia have both charged me...
-
I think it's funny that this 1/60 is being judged against the 1/100. The modified one Nyankodevice posted pictures of is proof that the 1/100 kit was just as off and just as bad.
-
Well this really makes those Beth and Daryl scenes a bit more creepy. http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/the-walking-deads-norman-reedus-costar-emily-kinney-are-dating-2015176
-
Wow, that is impressive. Any idea what the resin version may cost? What was the final cost for the shapeways version?
-
We did see it, but several months ago they were the only people who still had the 19 for sale, because Bandai sucks at letting us buy things. Consequently once HLJ opened up orders again I attempted to cancel. Looks like Play-Asia isn't letting go.
-
That kit also has those awful pegs holding up the upper thrusters/stabilizers.

I'm not sure if they've ever shown it in official art somewhere but in the Master File books they do actually use that mode as a stow on the carriers... Oh wait, no, I just looked again and they actually only do it with the wing roots folded down and the wings folded like in when it's in Battroid mode. Back to hating, because it's a dumb mode. My biggest issue is that the wings never quite sit at the same angle because it's affected by where the metal bars are mounted and their length. On my 19 the metal bars are definitely not cut to the same length, and I've noticed in many other photos, that the they aren't cut correct on any of them so the wings are ever so slightly not symmetric on each side of the valk in fighter. Like Yeti said, tighten up the rivets. You really cannot remove the mechanism. It's mounted all the way into the root and would probably require breaking plastic to get at. Plus you would have to add a new mounting point someplace. I already did some exploratory work because i was curious how the mechanism worked and the part of the metal that's mounted to the wing root is tucked behind a big chunk of plastic, you can actually damage the plastic inside if you're too rough flipping that metal bar back and forth too.

Given I'm renting a beach house in Hawaii in less than ten weeks I really don't need the extra expense.
-
WEll it looks like despite deleting my order that Play Asia has decided to resurrect it. I might be stuck with two of these things... or two bills anyway.
-
I still need to give that a go. I don't really want to break it however, as I age it seems my mechanical inclinations are deteriorating.
-
I was dead set against the trained Raptor thing too, the communication issue never made sense to me given how many other animals can actually communicate with each other. Given that I now understand that this is like a completed theme park in the style Hammond had always envisioned the product placement stuff you mentioned seems pretty realistic given EVERY major sports arena on the planet is named for a company.
-
This is a fascinating combination of familiar, brilliant and wtf?
-
Interesting to hear that the trailers are misleading. The trailers put me off the movie big time but I might have to change my mind about seeing it in the theater based on the reviews and impressions here.
-
But it isn't right around the engineering/build quality we'd pay this price for.
-
It was actually described as the VF-19Advance in the Wings of Goodbye book.

One of the primary reasons I've argued the top half needs to be nothing but hollow to keep it as light as possible or those knees are giving out.
