Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Reïvaj replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Congratulations on your purchase, ChaoticYeti! The VF-11 has always been one of my very favourite valks. Oh, and great display stand too. -
The only thing I've always assumed is that you like posing your valks in gerwalk mode because you always mention it. Apart from the fact that you seem to have issues with the ankle joints of your 19's I have no idea how they stay or whether you like pointing their noses towards the ground or not. Gerwalk mode isn't my favorite one so although the ankle joints of my 19's are also quite weak I don't care very much, but I think I still can express my opinion on the subject and share my way to overcome the problem along with some pictures to illustrate it.
-
May be, but I guess they should have already solved that mistake? IMO, considering how forward heavy the VF-19 are I think the side-to-side motion is more useful than the front-to-back one. Notice I said more useful, not nicer. Could any of you lucky guys who already got the new YF-19 tell us whether it bends forward in gerwalk mode more than the VF-19's or not and how do the ankle joints feel?
-
But that block you mention already exists, only that it folds inwards and outwards. IMO that's the joint that really counts for having a good A stance with a tilted down nose in Gerwalk mode.
-
Now you know what the problem is, the easiest way to proceed is never to stress the ankles too far forward or backward, that's not actually necessary for posing the valk even in the most extreme stances. Having said that, I don't really like the design path followed by Yamarcadia in that regard; those ankle joints make the toy look too... toyish.

Oh! So you cancelled your pre order!?
-
Because it's not in the line art.
-
Looking great! Not bad at all for only 1 1/2 hands!
-
Breathtaking! Great job, I love it!
-
So you want one of these?
-
That can happen with certain kinds of metals, I didn't know it could also happen with plastics. Very interesting.
-
Indeed.
-
Looking at the pics it seems evident they've addressed that issue.
-
It looks nice IMO!
-
Oh, Mr-K mentioned that lots of times!

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

An awful lot of people asked Arcadia to change those colours I guess that when some people get what they wanted there will always be some others dissatisfied.

I think he probably meant compared to the old YF-19, but as I don't own one of those I don't know for sure.
-
For those of you guys who want to have all the new pics together:
-
If this YF-19 toy feel in my hands as nice as it looks in pictures I dare say it's probably the best Macross toy release ever.
-
Mr-K is suggesting that...
-
! You may be right!
