I wonder if the white will offset that shininess of make it worse?
-
To be honest the actual transformation/mechanism is pretty simple/straightforward if you really look at it. The problem is that,by the anime design, it's propped up at two very small spots. I'm just curious how they'll hold up. Dunno how many wil even bother with modes other than Fighter for this one so it might only be me and one other guy who are ever bothered by this.
-
There's actually a few spots I'm concerned about loosening. In addition to where the hips attach to the... well, crotch I guess, there's also the bottom part of the thigh that attaches to the lower half of the leg and has to flip up/down between Fighter and Gerwalk/Battroid. That piece is painted diecast from the looks of it. I'm wondering if it's somehow ratcheted or if it's just friction. Those two pieces keep the ENTIRE bulky upper body stable and are very important. I'm also wondering how the legs will turn in and outward. Will that flip-up piece also be able to swivel or will all motion be handled at the hip joints?
-
I was looking back at the photos again and those thighs on ball joints are pretty much going to have to be completely rotated around between fighter and the other modes. I hope they don't become loose too easily. They're pretty much what's propping up all of that giant upper body.

But you don't update it every day like you're supposed to...

Kind of interesting that the VE and the 1D both got parts that color match their valks but the Super/Strike set is coming with a dark grey variety when in reality ALL of the DYRL Valks have the same sort of white/grey tone and could be easily color matched as well.

24K a semester!!! Holy crap. I only paid $2500 a semester at New Mexico Tech.

He just didn't want to hear you bitch about it later. That's what I used to do with my brother. LOL
-
Woo, you see that price on the VE? Strong yen, weak dollar. $224 now. When I got mine a few years back it was a (for the time) steep $165.

It's a bummer some of you guys have to sweat buying this toy. I know, even though I'm in no danger (right now) I still find myself going back and looking at the five pictures a few pages back multiple times daily. I'm happy with how it looks and am excited to play with it/discover how it transforms. That has helped me justify the price in my mind... or possibly hype myself up to ridiculous levels. That being said, I've always been under the impression that if you want to buy something but you have a doubt that means you don't really want it and you should wait.
-
I have none. If I had bought two or three maybe, but not for one.
-
As far as i can tell the only issue he could have is that the Strike Cannon is on the left instead of right side. Or maybe the fact this thing is posed with both the Super/Strike Pack and Stands, neither of which you can find for sale anymore,.
-
Post pics of both. We've hardly seen ANY of those Regult kits either.
-
I thought the dating sim part was important for leveling up your VD.
-
This is what I was thinking of doing, except with the P because the S/F doesn't have an easy attachment point like the P does (or hopefully will) with those shoulder speakers. Leg packs are another thing entirely. I'm not sure what to do about those.
-
Well, whatever color it may be I was only thinking that the FB2012 has missiles that are off white and it provides some contrast across the entire body that's pleasing. I just assumed they could set the color off a tad too. I wouldn't think anything as dark as the nose would be used, that's for sure. It was just an idea to add a little depth to an already low-vis scheme.
-
One thing I would say would make a difference in how interesting this might look is if they made all of the conformal missiles a darker shade of grey from the body of the plane. That would provide strips of varied color and provide contrast.
-
That's the smartest compromise I guess. I'd go for that.
-
I wonder how those speakers attach. We could probably work up some fast pack accessories instead.
-
I'd say that heat shield is either a clip on or they go exposed like the 22's.
-
We're hoping it's an SDFM style SDF-1.
-
The book idea is cool but I get the feeling there would be at least one HUGE legal hurdle getting that made.
-
That version was also in Robotech and will be viewed as such by any fan. Regardless how you feel it's tied to Robotech, that means they share the same version, and would likely make it more visible. It's observation.
