    People scale. Could be a 1/62 6ft pilot, a 1/60 5ft 10in pilot, etc while being the same actual figure. (I didnt do the math but you should get my point)

    Mine has the tilted head. Haven't been able to fix it yet. As for GERWALK joint---yup, common issue. I shaved like three times and it's still too tight to retract easily. So I wouldn't worry too much aboutmaking it too loose on a first attempt. Just don't do like several full millimeters for your first time.

    There's no lack of VF-4 schemes, they just need to start making them! Max and Milia is always an option for any "pre-Frontier" valk, and there's plenty of F-14-inspired quasi-canon schemes that look cool (just like the VF-1). It's Yamacadia's own fault it's a "single-scheme mold" at this point... FB2012 license issue? Fine. But I doubt the various books/chronicles/games all have the same issue.

    American Airlines DC-3. (yes, actually one of theirs, not just painted like it)

    Preview vid: Ever heard the full song of the second opening? The show didn't pick the best possible section IMHO. (go to about 2:20) And because:

    I'm pretty sure there's an F-18 set in there. (F-14 likely sourced as well of course).
  7. David Hingtgen
    Very true, the underside color at least is good. (So of course they'll probably change it!)
  8. David Hingtgen
    That was my thought----the VF-5000 is far more likely to be made than most of the others, as it has actual "OVA animation"----and more than the VF-4 has! (Also a Liza figure would be awesome) True, the MAXL has more raw screen time than possibly even the MacPlus valks, but it's so "nontraditional" and with zero repaint or remold options, it's not all that likely sadly.

    Gah, ruined forever! (for me at least, now) Personally, I can't think of a single car that had a large, low-mounted grille that I think looked good. I can however, think of many that had small, tapered front ends that looked awesome. (I do so love wedge-shaped cars)

    I never really understood the dialogue there either, so this is interesting. (yeah, it's only 2 words, but as you can see...)

    If anyone ever wants to split the HA/SR options pack, I'd up for it. I just want Sandrock's parts. (not a big enough fan of Heavyarms to buy it solely to justify buying the 2-pack of option parts). Really, that still strikes me as about the biggest money grab Bandai's done in a while---Sandrock's differences are VERY minor, and it only was the "space" version for what, 3 eps? But that's the version they made, then made a hard-to-get very overpriced option set the only way to get the MAIN STANDARD COMMON version. Annoyed me enough to pretty much cut back on most all my other RD purchases. I was planning on getting just about any and all "Wing" mecha----but cut back to basically SR/Epyon/Tallgeese. Way too many variants/option packs that SHOULD BE STANDARD/INCLUDED. Plus they seem overpriced IMHO. (compare a Bandai valk to a Bandai RD Wing figure, for what you get) I'm surprised they actually included a "lit" saber for Epyon, and didn't sell it separately... Really, you have to buy the option pack for Leo just to get some of its standard weapons and an articulated head? That's just ridiculous. ::end rant::

    That'd be Mylene's -1J. (and nobody here wants a MAXL more than me--that's what I voted for, with the -3000 getting the "secondary" vote)
  13. David Hingtgen
    How well would Milia -1J's sell if they were pink? (my beef is with the game---they're the ones who should have known not to use pastel colors on the planes!) I'd be all up for a "corrected" VF-3000 M&M scheme. I assume the game was wrong, and that M&M's VF-3000's were "really" red and blue like their other valks.
  14. David Hingtgen
    The VF-11's did look awesome, because they were actually red and blue. The VF-3000's were pink and periwinkle however... Idealized versions of the M3 schemes look good in most cases (not the VF-4 however). But the ACTUAL M3 valk appearances look poor in most cases.
  15. David Hingtgen
  16. David Hingtgen
    Very much so. What happened to the guy who made the VF-9's wings turn into the CHEST?
  17. David Hingtgen
    I noticed it long ago. "green plastic" is enough to make me not buy it no matter the source/price. Dinobots have SMOKE clear plastic, not "neon green" clear plastic.

  19. David Hingtgen
    While I love the VF-3000 design, what schemes are there? I think I've only seen the M3 ones. (I am still amazed by how many not-cool Max and Milia schemes exist in that game--you've gotta try hard to make M&M valks NOT look cool, but they managed several times)
  20. David Hingtgen
    PS--how would a destroid be a "PT" toy?
  21. David Hingtgen
    This would work much better as a multi-choice poll.

    Nor to post pics of it:

    Came in to say "Firefox" but saw I was beaten...
  24. David Hingtgen
    Gotta be the old blue. Because if it isn't, then it's 99% the same as the old one, and not anywhere near what it needed to be changed to.
  25. David Hingtgen
    2 fewer tailfins certainly helped save weight and drag...
