  1. I like my Brutish Battroid look. Though I'm lucky enough to have two so I keep on in Fighter and one in Battroid. I wish I had a third so I could complete the three modes. Here's hoping for a variant or two.
  2. Tough call, there's so many variants in so many scales. It would be hard to recommend because people often think of Hikaru in so many different lights. I personally think of him as flying the 1J. But that's because I love SDFM so much and really don't care for DYRL at all. He was in his 1J the longest and the 1S was Roy's as far as I'm concerned. Others disagree. I suppose it's a good thing nobody can agree, that means there's some change/progression in the stories so none of us have to settle on just one. Probably there's somebody around who says get the 1D because that's Hikaru's first taste flying a Valkyrie and is his true representation as well.

    I really want to try this game out but I really don't want to buy a Sony product.
  4. What happens when you collect them all? Do we win the lottery or something?
  5. In my personal opinion, no. I own a 17S a 17D and two VF-4's. The VF-4's are far better engineered and rare to boot.
  6. I usually keep one of those really short, thin flat screwdrivers around that I can fit into tight spaces to pry those hatches up as close to their bases as possible so I'm not putting pressure on an edge that's too far out. You still have to be careful though.
  7. Oh, did you try to open the cockpit after transforming back to Fighter mode? If I want to do something with the pilot in fighter mode I always completely lift up and then flip the chest plate first for fear of breaking the cockpit. I guess I don't understand what part of the landing gear cover broke. Do you mean that front part? It's super tight and I never try opening it unless I've already opened the two side hatches first.
  8. Wow, that guy is decal-ed up! Even the sliding plate on the back of the calf!.
  9. Thanks for the video Graham. Personally I'm happy no kites were tampo'd as I don't like the few official markings and much prefer my own low-vis versions instead. At first I thought I wouldn't like a Milia 17S but depending on the shade of red I could be convinced. I do love the screen grabs of the "teal" version. I'd grab a dual seater Sound Force version if they made one too.
  10. I still never started using that term. If you actually parse that sentence I say it isn't just that particular type of stance because it was never my complaint. Everyone still has this idea that they must defend this mode but the fact remains I have three 19's and all of them hardly hold the stance and are no fun to "pose" in that mode at all. Maybe I'm unlucky three times over but I have no problems with any other Yamato or Bandai Valk in Gerwalk except these three 19's.
  11. Somebody on here used them. I didn't.
  12. I never used the word aggressive when talking about how bad the ankles are.
  13. It's not just 'agressive' stances that are the problem. In general it isn't balanced well and you can't even do anything as basic as staggering one leg clicked back farther than the other. There is no dynamicism at all. It's highly static which I have not had problems with any of the other Valks. Plus, based on that pic, if you fold the arms forward it's going to want to face plant. Arms back is ablot more balanced.
  14. I thought part of this movie involved Silver Samurai, Mariko's brother. Unless they're merging the two different comics stories. They were separate events.
  15. I'm not staying up all night. I'll just go to NY and buy one for more money. I went to college so I could make more money so I wouldn't have to worry a bout spending so much time doing things. My time is worth more than money and I'd much rather spend my time sleeping.
  16. I get three of the same type so I can display them in each of the three modes... my sixteen VF-1's don't help that argument though.
  17. My one complaint about the 17 is that giant gap between the forward and aft sections though. I think it needs a sliding panel or something. That's the thing the VF-0/1 have over it. It's balanced and looks like a single piece. Though I hate Yamato's implementation for the hips, it makes Gerwalk gappy because the intake/hips don't attach securely. Also they're solution for the bottom plate that doesn't really do the job holding the back half with the wings up either. You can't really tell from the photos but all of the squad markings on that 17 were individually and fully cut out eat. I even trimmed the insides of the zero and two so there wasn't any excess sticker anywhere. It's kind of a pain in the ass.
  18. Every day I drive past a statue of an F-22 on my way home from work and the more I look at this one the more I appreciate the inspiration Kawamori took from it.
  19. Interesting, we used the exact same VF-0 Markings for our VF-4's. I should really get around to posting pics of my stickered up one. I was so busy looking at the markings I didn't even notice the missiles. LOL Looks pretty good loaded down.
  20. I finally was able to take some pics this past weekend. I wasn't super creative with these angles. I thought it's be fun to do everything up low-vis style and try to keep to several of the standards for markings on the F-117A.
  21. My buddy Kevin came over yesterday and I decided to show him my new Valks. He's always drooled over all of them but still liked the VF-1 best because of it's connection to Robotech (what we both saw first.) His official favorite Battroid mode is now the VF-4. I'd buy him one but.... kind of expensive.
  22. I do think it would have been a better idea if that little swing bar attached to the shoulder slid backwards and forwards so they could have included just a little bit more length on the arms that way they could be slightly more pose-able in Battroid.
