VF5SS

As the priestess of the Bird Human legend, I will be doling out the information here. Lest you want me to place a Kadun of over eagerness on you.

Or maybe we could discuss how line art, animation, and proportions work to convey ideas in still and moving images. Or keep battying. Either way.

The VF-1 does cool stuff in the Ultimate Ace Frontier extra movie the head also got a little update with a few tasteful details

The wings are irrelevant to me. It's just a formality at this point :3

I geso. They're all nice and visible though.

I know right!

So Voltron was in that Metlife Superbowl commercial where's the show that introduced a generation of people to anime

Well the wings are just hinges, it's more the material used for the shoulders that is too finicky. If Yamato did that toy now, she'd be apples.

Naw. Sv-51 is easy peasy fo'sheezy.

...no?

To be fair, I don't think Experten made his VF-11 with the full armor in mind either. The VF-11 doesn't need to be prepped as much as the VF-1 and even the base VF-11 has enough slots and gaps due to its transformation and existing super parts that armor could be made to attach to. You would probably need the huge gun just to keep the thing balanced in a neutral standing pose though.

zero's a pretty basic dude he dodges missiles and doesn't afraid of... oh wait he died a lot

Here's some information about shipping from Shapeways Shipping info Shipping Options and Pricing We ship worldwide by UPS. We always use this freight carrier and can not currently make any exceptions. Cost not including VAT/Sales Tax Applicable Countries $6.50 United States, Canada, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg $9.50 All EU Countries, Switzerland, Norway, San Marino, Vatican, Andorra, Liechenstein $19.99 Rest of the world http://www.shapeways.com/support/shipping there's some more stuff too As far as I can tell from their FAQ, they will make it as long as the company exists and I don't decide to take it down. Since I don't feel like torturing you guys, you shouldn't worry too much ( 'w' ) b you don't have to speculate, mang i'm right here

Yes I will just post the link to buy these. If Shapeways ships internationally you can just order from them directly. They take paypal for payment. Since it costs me the same for shipping on the one hinge prototype and the next hinge, I assume it's a flat rate up until a certain weight. You could probably fit ten sets in the box I received the first one in.

Ok the next set is shipping to me supposedly on the 15th. I will test those out to make sure they fit. Anyone who has some doubts can check to see that the pivot point for the hinge is indeed oblong so there should be enough space for fighter mode storage. There's no issues with it hitting the swing bar at all. Still transforming Mr. VT-1 with no signs of stress. Like I said, pricing will be $10 for a set of two plus whatever shipping you can get from Shapeways. I don't want anyone to go crazy with multiple sets until they are satisfied with the results of one. However, it may be cheaper to buy in bulk. We shall see.

Cuz you guys didn't but the VF-11s at full price

Those two designs are more Macross 7 styled anyways. People just conflate them with the Zero because they were drawn around the same time.

ahem They also draw the backpack wide like it's supposed to be. They keep the same general proportions in 7 and Dynamite 7 too for the most part. There is that weird alternate line art with bigger legs but that's just the front view and looks more like something Bandai or Ashi Pro cooked up for promotional purposes. Also don't try this with the wings on the toy. It will break. Not saying there wasn't some cheating, but obsessing over it never got anyone anywhere. Anyways, as the resident VF-22S toy expert I will say the figure has a few areas that need improvement. As a whole though, I find it is more part of the VF-1 and VF-11 tier of design than say the YF-19 which is closer to the old 1/48 VF-1 and the two Zero toys. What it does need is. 1. Tighter knee joints. They've always been floaty between clicks. Some of that nifty diecast stuff they're using on the newest toys would be awesome. A little metal inside the legs would help a bit too. 2. Possibly better ankles. Now you can get a VF-22S toy to stand or squat down forever, but perhaps a diecast or partially diecast universal joint (with easy access screw for tightening or disassembly) would help it out. Coupled with better knees, the VF-22S can strike a mean pose. 3. Better lock on diecast hip bar in Battroid mode. This isn't a huge deal as it can be tightened up with glue or paint, but this isn't a huge change since it locks into an area that is in the twisting pelvis section. 4. Better lock for the nose section to the chest in Battroid. While the diecast bar the chest intakes move on do have little nubs for locking the nose into the chest, this is kind of spotty. Either have an unobtrusive tab and hole or perhaps just have a magnet inside the nose that goes with a corresponding one in the main body. Pretty simple fix. These are things that don't require designing a whole new toy, I think. Given the modular nature of the figure, a redesign could be done without scrapping the existing tooling. Not that they really care but hey. I wish I had a castle in the sky~ Here's a few things that are just for aesthetics. 1. A way to slide the tailfins on the arms up a bit so their more in the middle of the forearm. Makes it look more like anime where the talfins are arm shields. 2. Better neck. Not that the design is shown moving its head that much, a better neck wouldn't hurt. Even if the face just moved separately from the cowl, that might help. 3. Double jointed elbow might be nice. 4. Better hip plate joint. Again not a huge deal, but the current system is a bit rough in posing.

The legs are pretty skinny in the anime, dood. Sorry.

You know Kinryu could've just been friends with Sally and Miho :v I approve of his 90's-tastic casual outfit though.

Ozma is the love child of Basara and Kinryu. Thanks to the marvels of Overtechnology.
