Actually, if enough idiots keep saying it wrong the term does officially become flapes if only because nobody will know the correct way to pronounce it. I'm about ready to start shooting people who say/type "wala" instead of "voila" as it's becoming far too common an occurrence now.
-
I do and plan on getting the D when it's released as well.
-
Which is easy to do because the design sucks and needs to be reimplemented.
-
Bend the Ankle all the way back then all the way forward. You should hear three light clicks. Both of my 25's do this.
-
I would describe the resolution as unsatisfactory.
-
This video highlights the four parts of the armor that aren't colored correct on the Alto at about 10:40 in. That little diamond bit on the chest and the two intake covers are colored white like the rest of the valk when they really should be colored the same as the crotch armor to present symmetry and color coordination like in the show. That would make a huge difference in how it looks, though losing that darker border along the bottom would also help.
-
The front to back on both the 17 and 19 is awful and can lead to the joint popping apart in some cases. If the 25 has no ratchets then I'm curious why the ankles on my F and S both click as I adjust them forward and back?
-
Because of the design/weight distribution of the valk the 17's ankles are less of a problem however they're the exact same design as the 19's and as such need more dynamic range front to back. Like the 25, they would benefit from a joint higher up that handles motion left to right and then a lower click-able portion that handles front to back. That would greatly improve both the 17 and 19 overall.
-
It's amazing how sloppy Bandai can be with the details sometimes.
-
I think they're just showing off how deep it can turn down in Gerwalk mode. The 25's ankles had plenty of movement forward and back. I'd be surprised if they screwed this up (but Yamato would be wise to look at how the 25's ankles function and the fix their other Vf-19/17 releases later this year with Ankles that don't suck but I doubt they will because nobody will inform them the ankles are poorly designed.)
-
To be honest we're extremely lucky Yamato even bothers to post updates of their CAD models for us. It's not the norm to be shown iterative engineering changes/updates.
-
I agree. I already pointed out that at 9pm on opening night we didn't even have a full house. Can I just say (you guys who like Scarlett can keep on if you like) that Cobie Smulders looked SMOKIN' in this film. Who knew a black jump suit and pony tail could make her look that damn good.
-
The part where she grabbed on I agree was too much. The boosting/flipping/whatever prior to it I don't have an issue with.
-
So none of these people have seen a Cheerleader/Chinese/other acrobatic performance? Couple that with two humans boosted to the height of physical fitness/prowess and it's not a very large stretch of the imagination.
-
I'm kind of surprised if only because I went to a 9 pm showing on Friday night and it wasn't even a full house.
-
I'm partial to the fairy-tastic Ariels scheme.
-
It's a good point but still very selective.
-
My 1D won't be here until at least next week. Something I just considered. In the Max/Milia thread we discussed that DYRL is just more popular in Japan... then why reissue the 1D from SDFM and not the 1T for DYRL? And issue an unpainted 1D on top of that?
-
Based on that image you just posted Bandai got the coloring wrong. Or, rather, they got the crotch armor color correct but they did not color the intake covers the same color nor did they color the little triangle shape in the center of the chest armor the same color. So when on the toy you've got that one Gray crotch patch surrounded by bright white when other nearby spots should have been that same grey color as well.
-
I have been looking into getting into customizing these toys and the two seaters have a sort of F-4 Phantom look in the cockpit area which I've always liked.
-
I was never sure what the midsection swivel issue was so I never bothered with these which is a shame because I've loved the Tomahawk since I was a kid.
-
That's curious. Why not make it all white like the other unpainted Valks so people can make whatever colored 2 seater they might like? It's odd to keep the tan and orange color.
-
I like the concept and your execution is stunning. One thing I've noticed is the inherent shininess of the Bandai Valks makes the pictures ever so slightly more believable. The VF-1's look great but they might require a little more modification to keep the plasticy feel away. In this latest pic it's pretty good looking but the feet thrusters kind of ruin the illusion.
-
That Scissor tail would be a lot less weird if it was changed to be the forearm shield (like on every Kawamori design since the 11) which would do two things. Keep the fighter looking like a fighter and not some retarded space age hornet-nosed thing and would make the Battroid more in line with other Macross Valks because it would have a proper forearm shield. While it still have the derivative VF-1 transformation in Battroid it has the wings folded back like the 25 and would bring it far more in line with what Kawamori has designed now.
-
Yeah, both 1A's and his 1S were released the same day. And it was only a few months later they released his 1J with Milia too. The only one i didn't get was the 1A DYRL at the time and I'm not sure why I didn't as Max is my favorite and I have all of his other Valks.
