  1. Interesting to see these two next to each other. They both look good for different reasons. One is very soft and rounded like the anime and the other is very sharp edged like it was a 3D model. It looks like both Arcadia and Bandai got their respective targets correct.
  2. In 2059 the EF models were still being used. Eight years isn't that much of a difference. Not to mention the specific modified Isamu model which was derived from the EF outperformed the 25. Given that the project was conceived to improve and prolong the life of the 19 and it was real world tested in Isamu's A model it could be a thing.
  3. Wow, NY shipped mine Friday and it's already here in Albuquerque today (actually was in town Sunday but they don't deliver to households on the weekends.) Looks like it'll be here today.
  4. Good Lord, that middle pic. He came up with the VF-27...
  5. Eh, it only looks good in that photo because it's from a distance and the angle hides several of the imperfections. From a distance the mini-skirt says yes, up close the mustache says no.
  6. I'm loving the super valkyrie mash-up going on here. Very kind to shorten up those VF-4 Chicken Legs in Gerwalk as well. lol
  7. Just because it's a thing that was done doesn't make it a thing that should be.
  8. I dunno, what are they going to do if you take a picture?
  9. Looking at the 30 there, with the giant box of death on top. Those missiles are rather small. Wouldn't it make sense to have wing mountable boxes like that? Just have the missiles come out of one side so you aren't blasting yourself and pretty much any fighter could be that deadly especially in space where drag matters none.
  10. I'm in for one at 1/60 painted.
  11. So did anybody catch this tweet by Mr K today????
  12. Interesting. I haven't transformed it to Battroid but with that leg fix this pretty much puts the look of Battroid on parity with the Arcadia one. I'd say other than some stylistic differences they both look equally as good in my eyes. Oh, something I noticed, look at the left leg in this pic. My left leg has the same problem, that panel will not stay out. It keeps collapsing inward on me.
  13. This is a pretty good idea given the horrible connection point and gappiness when the leg packs are attached.
  14. Just saw that in my e-mail as well.
  15. So I was just looking into making this for you guys and I've come to discover that my webcam can't record 1080p at 60 fps. Can't even do 30 fps. That kinda sucks.
  16. Oh shiiiiiiiii, that's nine days after I have to drop $1700 on a Condo.
  17. I too am very curious about what the price will be for this. Totally awesome!
  18. Likely it's glossy because that's what the mold already is but it would be cool if it were matte. Did you post a pic of the broken head laser?
  19. Mid 40's???? Damn, that's like living in Phoenix. And I thought having 38-39 this past Sunday and Monday was rough... As long as you don't mind all Gerwalk pics I can try to take a bunch.
  20. I got a chance to transform my VF-19 into Gerwalk last night. It's... a mixed bag. So I love the fact the thigh joint clicks so far forward. it makes getting the weight distribution underneath the toy much easier. What I don't like are the ankles. After I thought I would. They actually have very little side-to-side (or it's so tight I dare not break it.) The fins on enclosures of the bottoms of the feet are TOO LONG, they block some of the articulation of the foot. I'm also not too happy with how floppy the forward to back motion of the feet are, but that might just be my copy. So it stands/poses better in Gerwalk. However I don't like the gap that's created in the aft section between the fuselage and what becomes the chest area. At least the wings tab in and hold great with the Boosters attached. I like the arm articulation. The way the forearm rotates is superior to the Arcadia version. I wish the arms could be extended though, they seem even more stubby than the Arcadia version. So it's a mixed bag again, just like Fighter mode.
  21. It's funny, I never really paid attention to many of the composers but looking back at all of my favorite film scores probably 70% of them were James Horner.
  22. I don't think you're missing much. Unless you're a fan of the Frontier look the Bandai one looks/feels more like a toy than the Arcadia version.
  23. Wow, I figured I would have a giant charge an no item. Still glad I cancelled for HLJ otherwise I'd be waiting for my shipment now.
  24. I agree, improve what really needs improving or get on with new stuff.

    Interesting that the entire line shown the last few years has been all SDFM and now their second released Valk, and first with Super Packs, is a DYRL scheme.
