I wanted to believe it so bad... made me see thing that weren't actually there! Looks like they added a removable nosecone tip though, as Jenius said, to fit the armor parts à la 1/48. I might be the only one here who hopes the grey part on that gerwalk joint is going to be metal since that piece has hair-thin cracks on each of my Hi-Ms. Looking forward to the enemy mechas too, Glaug ftw!!!

It seems that there is a change on the connection between the cockpit and the leading edge on top of the intakes. Sliding mechanism for a better proportioned battroid maybe?
-
Hey Thanks a lot for your input, Zinjo! Yeah I agree a splash page would naturally cut this mess and make it more manageable for the viewer.
-
Thanks guys! I wish I had kept more control over the whole process though but I had too much fun drawing this I guess and forgot about a few basic rules such as composing a picture and trying to keep a harmonious color palette. Well, here's the whole unedited thing, I cut the lower part out as I thought it added too much distraction in the frame. Let me know what you think : Haha, I'm not into Voltron anyway

I had some fun sketching yesterday trying to nail Roy's VF-1S in a cool pose and this scene from the Zentradi attack on earth SDFM episode 2 happened as I was adding more and more mess until it got out of control. I tried to salvage what could be by cropping a part from it, here :

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Count me in as well, I wouldn't mind paying vf-0D-price for a renewal YF-21, although I dearly love all the 21/22 I own -
Lovely picture, those are actually the 2 first Yamato 1/60 valks I bought years ago, still some of my favorite birds to this day.
-
I transformed my old VF-0S while I'm waiting for my 0D and experienced the same trouble with the old one. I guess Arcadia kept most of the previous the tabs system on the new one. The problem I had was due to the shoulders being not properly rotated. Try pushing the shoulders in until they both align behind the head turret, this might allow you to properly tab in the arms to the legs and also make the rest of the tabs line up
-
Same here, the 0D's quality will decide. I really hope Arcadia shows some pictures of a reaction armor, then I'd need a new 0S for sure
-
They were probably the most scary toy Yamato ever put out, but actually I was convinced it sold "OK", considering that when I was looking for one it was sold out everywhere and the prices were already getting crazy on ebay. And the zeroes did manage to get at least one reissue each, right? Mine are all in one piece so far, great display pieces but terrible toys. I'm not sure I'll be happy to pay that much to replace a toy by one that looks only slightly better. The OD will have to convince me that I need these
-
Thanks for checking yours RyuRoots! I do hope it's only happened on my samples and not a general widespread flaw. I guess it is just bound to happen though, given the plastic and the nature of the hinge Bandai used on this joint (metal "spring" type hinge which applies pressure externally). I guess it's a good excuse to get the HMR vf-1 releases as backup in case my current set finally crumbles
-
It does right? Lucky for you yours is fine I've also checked my Roy which was only transformed 5 or 6 times and found he has a very very thin crack on the inside of the hip hinge too... so it's broken on all of mine, great! I don't think I've used excessive force while transforming so watch out when handling this joint, guys. The break is actually extremely thin and hardly visible. So far it doesn't hinder the transformation of poseability but still a bummer and it seems like a hard thing to fix with glue. I really hope Bandai will address this problem on the future reissues
-
Guys here's a pic of my broken hi-metal gerwalk joint. My max has a similar break but on the inside of the hip. I suspect this failure might be a common one
-
Just picked up the VF-1J Hi-metal and noticed there are very fine cracks at the gerwalk joint on both legs. Bummer. Has anyone else noticed a similar problem on theirs? I've transformed mine quite a few times since I bought it on release back then but never noticed this issue so I can't really tell when it happened
-
Bandai did that many times, items like the armored vf-25s from the vf100 line and that sweet looking vajra figure come to mind
-
Haha, me too actually, I thought their discount applyed to all items and after reading again I noticed it was only for "In stock"
-
VF-0D preorder available again at HLJ if anyone is interested, no black friday discount though
-
Keep them coming, you're doing a great job, love these valk shots!
-
I'll be all over these Regults, destroids and whatever valks are released in this line!
-
Really looking forward to this release, fighter mode looks great, it's a very nice sculpt and the tampo overload is nice. From the tampoed triangles near the cockpit it will probably be convertible to a 2 seater like the YF-19 which is always a cool option to have. However it's a bit sad that this battroid isn't able to achieve the compact supered form as in the Arcadia's pics posted earlier by aaajin since the boosters are connected directly to the wings and not to the wing roots.
-
While people are worried about the color, I'm looking at those ankles, suspecting balljoints because they seem really well articulated...
-
So damn pretty

sarcasm FTW

This, very exactly

Thanks a lot guys, so glad you liked it!
