Looking from the side, the stand definitely fills the huge gap in-between the back wings pack and torso. The top of the stand is acting as the fulcrum... Mmmm....a brace to stiffen the shoulders would definitely be welcomed to not have the back wing pack sag..and also not to have to rely on the stand too much..

Well we are speculating based on pics but who knows how bad err good it might turn out to be š¤Ŗ Worse case, just admire the tampo from king of tampo, bandai..š¤Ŗ seriously where are you gonna get a Macross valk like Bandaiāsā¦even if the pirates could pirate the molds, I think they would have a hard time replicating the tampo(not impossible but cost wise at a quantity and quality?), me thinks š¤ P.s. whether you like the tampo is another matterš¤Ŗ hey itās art!š

Hard to believe, call it product photography magic š A supporting bracket just like what the chronos had for stability would be nice, but itās not mentioned in the parts list for the 21. Maybe need to relook at the product demo video again, which was shown last year, was battroid standing on its own?

Ah yes, but the proof would be in the pudding...when it comes out..because that nice lean in the fuselage, angled chest intakes/back wings are helped by the stand in both mag and early prototype pics.. can the lean be adjusted without the stand i wonder...

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
seti88 replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Just watched cucuruz island. Late am sure. But boy i enjoyed it..and the ED another classic gundam song imo... Sometimes you just have to sit back, admire the animation, feel the tropes/storyline and take it as it is....lovely... p.s. and what an entry of the gundam by the top of the volcano.. -
From the prototype pics late last year, it would seem the torso can be more vertical eliminating lessening the crotch thrust. However, notice that the backpack sits higher up on back and at an angle. Might mean that the backpack underside is too thick, pushing the torso and/or crotch forward. Maybe a forward lean would resolve to a better vertical torso appearance, which results in the backpack resting at an angle like the HG..... and lastly a comparison with the OG prototype before they had to adjust the model.. i think the chest intakes would need to be positioned to angle downwards, somehow, to move the backpack away from the torso.

A fully tampo-ed 1/60 scale DX of a yf-21 by Bandai. Whatever the tolerances bla bla..still hard to believe. The first ever yf-21 DX by Bandai, since Macross plus came out in the 90s. i read somewhere along the lines, 2024 looking back to 1995 (when plus was out), is like in 1982/3 (when Macross aired), looking back to things in 1954ā¦ Hit me kinda hard when I thought abt it..

everytime a 19P listing pops up, i kick myself for passing out on a 19P listing on jungle, way back then for approx 20k ++ yen.... goes to show, sometimes you just got to follow your gut instinct... i knew the 19P listings were running out but still...well was not too into M7 but i dug the 19P design...

April release is likely to be for the post TN event sales held in JP last November. If there was a general release there would be a PO day, which hasn't happened.

out on the shelfs in JP..

If i remember correctly even the original 171EX had PO slots here and there you could order for a while...the re-issue reflects that somewhat... The 171 which i would want is a re-issued 171 CF in matt, minus any issues in triangles...š The one thing bandai could and should have re-issued and fix, they didnt... or..never say never...š

woah tomica! what scale are these...

i suppose WWM stores would be good as a backup buy. Of course the more expensive ones can act as a main buy, since less risk of not fulfilling orders due to higher prices... Am thinking if i shld go for a third with kappa...as usual my wallet says no, and planning to wait for a vf-22 DX instead..

am not the only one who remembered the mismatched shoulder graphics from the old days! thanks for the photo... that art was so iconic to me back then (esp with that broken circle), that and the red incom's esp on the knees and forehead.....coolness all over ...the EX-S was so cool that they couldnt care less if the shoulder graphics line up... and then came the booster for legs type and that really blew me away...

TOP GUN 3: an alien spaceship drops from space and the f-18 becomes transformable...maverick then trains a young roy to pilot the new plane..err...VF.... paramount: sure, use NUNS instead and beat the IP...

I think its a high possibility for a VF-22 DX gamlin, looking at strong demand for the 21 DX at the mo. good sales of the YF-21 lead to a VF-22 gamlin and with an inevitable VF-19 DX, hints at a VF-11 MAXL... and then all roads lead to a VF-11 isamu...which will be a p-bandai š... *wakes from dreaming*

Thanks man..do the ends fit into bandai's HMR valks and bits snugly? and the extreme side...have you tried it for DX valks (base reinforcement and c prong handles required i would think)? the itty bitty Y joint here, looks to be the game-changer, compared to the usual knock-offs...
-
yeah it seems better than JP shops which limit purchases, if you can avoid looking at the price, which isnt that far off. Though i wonder if they can really handle the load, do kappa usually have a cut-off as well if orders come in heavy?
-
any links? thanks!

Did someone say maniac? all good. hehe...enjoy your own maniacs!š¤£š¤£

hopefully more stores will open up... at the very least no fuss...current BBTS prices are indicative of JP scalper prices.... more stores with cheaper prices may pop up...
