He's doing DYRL Valks and there was no J-Type.

Star Trek Into Darkness, in theaters May 17, 2013
Mommar replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The lens flare was fine. It was the stupid circumstances getting to and then on the ice planet when Kirk conveniently met Scotty and Spock and the Star Wars-like CGI creature chase just before that I have a much bigger issue with. -
I didn't think you were going to modify that part? You changed your mind? Did you get cocky after that sweet Q-Rau mod? LOL

There's two things about this. 1) They need the license for FB2012 which we don't know they have yet. 2) This very well could be some sort of gauge of interest for a VF-4 like they did with the 1/2000 SDF-1. My theory is that they already had the VF-X license or could get for MUCH cheaper than FB2012 and since it's a relatively newer product they assumed people might remember it more since it did have more exposure than Hikaru's five second appearance in a twenty minute music video from twenty five years ago. If it sells well enough they know the VF-4 is popular and they can go ahead and buy the FB2012 license and pop out toys with new paint schemes quickly enough plus they've got other VF-X paint schemes to fall back on. If it sells okay but not great they might be able to maximize the VF-X investment and milk the mold a little bit with other VF-X pain schemes and skip buying a new license for FB2012.

Yeah, xrentonx is right. There's no reason to post pics of her. That's just weird.

Man, even with a precise blade and as much patience as I can muster I only kinda sorta get lucky with cutting those No Step decals correct. But I've never been able to get them to adhere after cutting them that small either.

My Vf-0 is perched and waiting.

So I finally attempted to sticker my F last night. I have avoided stickering anything dark because I don't like the way the edges of the stickers look. I noticed ever since I put those little no step stickers on Gamlin's 22 how awful it looks. I finally got an Xacto knife and a pair of straight and curved scissors to carefully cut that stuff. I've found that the Emerald Force Logo and all of the little Red warning arrows/etc... look just fine. I still can't cut those tiny little No Step stickers down though. Anybody know of a better way to trim something so small? Hell, even the "102" stickers and the UN Spacy stickers look like crap even after trimming the big borders. I tried to individually trim the white 102 so there isn't that blob of sticker between each number but it still doesn't look great. I noticed some of you guys always seem to have really clean looking decals but I'm not sure if with clear coats/etc... if it obfuscates some of the issues I've described.

I actually prefer the FZ-109A, personally.

The wings will rotate horizontally as will the hips. It's possible they aren't lining up because one (or both) of them is rotated a little bit. I'm going to re-iterate that the ankles suck and Gerwalk fans got effed on this design. Fix the ankles. They need to rotate back a lot farther.

I don't hate him... does she have a sister?

Looks like you have 21 now.

So my F finally showed up today. Real quick impressions after pulling it out. It's not assembled as well as my S was. Things weren't aligned properly out of the box and I had to adjust it myself. Also the back tip of the right wing root is bent with a white stress mark... not happy about paying $300 for that at all. The left wing root doesn't line up with the folded down tail fin just like on the S and the right side doesn't like up as well (but with the bend in it already that doesn't affect me at all anyway.) The Gun pod is harder to get to sit straight too. That doesn't bode well for this new, fancy plant working on these things but I may be an outlier. So... not a good first impression right out of the box at all. Not like the nice, tight S I got last year. I'll have to transform it but right now I have very low expectations for these problematic ankles. That being said in fighter mode the white stripes and single head cannon look SO much better then the S. I'll have to play with it more. Hopefully there aren't any other defects besides the bent wing root.

I wouldn't call it wonky, but it is different and that's partly why I like it. Whenever my 19F arrives I'll test it out and see if it's any better or not.
-
But that's the problem with the design, if you have to dick with screws and joints to pose it then you've done something wrong. I'm not even looking for anything extreme. I just want the legs to be able to tuck under it far enough that it will stand with the body completely horizontal. The fact the thigh only clicks three times plus the ankles don't angle back means it's tenuously balanced forward on it's toes. I sound like a repeat of last year when I first got this... I'm just reminded, since I hadn't touched that mode, that Yamato's "home run" is still actually pretty crap.
-
Damn, in anticipation of my 19F I transformed my 19S again just to put it in a different configuration and make space. I forgot just how shitty the Gerwalk mode is on this thing. Please tell me the ankles don't suck as bad this time.

I'll nit-pick the stickers once I'm done nit-picking the United States Postal Service.
-
But you'll have bitchin' toys!!!

I think it looks more like a cherry on a cupcake than a clown nose. It's not a great design choice but I wouldn't say I'm upset. More disappointed they didn't make a few slight design alternations to the slope of the head.
-
That's a difference of millimeters. That's hardly what I was referring to.
-
It's showing the cannons folding but that's not what I'm referring to. Look how high the packs stick up over the shoulders in the line-art.
-
Actually that's standard for NY. As they sell through their items they'll raise the price. They did this with the VF-171 as well. If you ordered sooner you got it for less.
-
Those pics really help the fast packs look better then some of the old stock footage. However I think Yamato should have made a few changes or made the packs a little more dynamic. The leg packs should fold up in fighter so that there isn't that weird scoop coming down off the wing (not necessarily easy/feasible), and the shoulder packs should extend upward in Battroid so that they're not so obscured behind it. I know line-art accuracy is tough but they should stick out over the shoulders more then they do. They still look good and I can't wait for mine but I feel like they went the easy route with these a little bit.
-
I wonder what the process is then? Sounds like we all ordered from AmiAmi and had them leave the same day. Except this time mine has hung out in customs until last night at 10 whereas everybody else already got theirs. I've noticed before other people have had to wait a REALLY long time, it was just me this time. It is odd considering it's the same shipment on the same day arriving at the same location but one of them gets left on a shelf for an extra five days.
