Haha awesome! Good work!

I really like the white paint strips on Michaels missile pods. The pallet swap works great. Great job as always MJ! -
plastic your collection looks great but it begs for some custom made cabinets. For my tastes it is light too dark but I guess that is personal preference. Sadly Hot Toys stuff does nothing for me. The only thing I kinda like are the Iron Man suits but only if I imagine them as 1/100 versions of some Super Robot.

Does Macross has a chance against the Adventure Time stuff?

At what local time does the preorder start? Diggin' the head!

I never had problems with NY before. They are a good store if you just want to shop stuff. As soon as anything happens say missing/defect parts you might run into problems. With Bandai Renewals this is an even greater problem because Bandai does not offer a replacement service so even if NY would help you they often't can't. HLJ offers superior customer service. Another thing to keep in mind about NY is that they will not declare the proper value on the packaging which will lead to problems with the insurance if something goes totally wrong with your package (at least to my knowledge). On the other hand customs won't charge your package with fees if you live in a country that does such things.

He has a skull as a face mask so he must be a badass. And Mikey has tribal tattoos on his shoulder so he must be uber-cool. *sigh* why are Hollywood people so unimaginative. On the other hand my 14 year old me would be all over this costume. As a side note I really wished Figma or S.H.Figuarts would release a Shredder that looks like the one from the original TMNT television show.

I have to agree with David. Where are those gray stripes? Other than that I would like to know how Gerwalk-Mode compares to the old YF-19, the VF-19 and this regarding the range of movement of the Gerwalk-joints and the knee-joints. From the latest prototype image it seems to be like the VF-19 rather than the YF-19. I'm too lazy to transform my VF-19S and check it so I cannot say this for certain.

Chunky Monkey reissue?
-
I'm still hoping that the two other schemes will be the VF-1A Kakizaki and VF-1S Max so I can finish off my white DYRL squad.
-
No problem. If someone sends a question to Mr. K over Twitter can you forward the question if there are covers for the holes in the hinges where the shoulders swing outward? [edit:] Never mind. They seem to covers on the previous prototypes.

Transformers: Age of Extinction - in theaters June 27, 2014
Scyla replied to taksraven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It looks like a super-sized Botshots Transformer -
I was referring to the VF-19S Excalibur not the prototype.
-
As much as I would love to have a (matte) Super VF-19S (with a tinted canopy) I can't see a way to fit the Super Parts onto the existing Valkyrie. Especially the legs doesn't seem to be able to accept the Super Parts without a redesign.
-
Does Ozmas YF-29 have head lasers on top of head lasers? I really like the red arrows on the chest piece. They are a good looking highlight.
-
The real question is not if this fires bullets or not. The real question is: does it transform?
-
Since Bandai seems to pump out new Frontier items I cannot see them doing the Valkyries but maybe the scored some kind of deal for the boosters. However I hope the toy comes with covers for the holes because they look ugly and I'm not planning to display it with the Frontier add-ons.
-
Can someone explain what's up with the new shipping method that Nippon Yasan is promoting lately? It is called Transi Logistic and seems to be a European Union thing only. Has anyone experience with this? They also claim to be able to deliver without custom fess legally.

You can rotate the tip of the stand I know that but I would rather have a stand where the stand is always under the toy itself. It just looks better and I have a better feeling displaying it like that. Frankly I really like the Bandai stands that come with the Renewal VFs. They might look ugly but you don't have to take the plane apart to mount it because attaching the Fighter-Mode piece on the VF-1 is just scary. And why is the gun-pod of the VF-1 so damn close to the connector piece? I don't want to display it with the gun-pod attached because either it is under pressure of the stand piece or it is angled. It is a good stand but it has just too many issue that let me scratch my head. I still like to touch it once and a while because the plastic feels so good. Don't say anything I know it is creepy.
-
The question is why is the "regular" VF-19 from M7 a F and the "regular" VF-17 a D? Did something happen during the development of the VF-19 that lead to more variants of the Excalibur?
-
Does this picture indicate that the panel in front of the canopy is painted black (the one that scratches easily on the 30th Anniversary) or is it only a shadow cast by the Valkyrie? If it is painted does that mean Bandai will cast the piece in white and paint it black just because they are evil. On a second thought the nosecone could be cast in black plastic and painted white because I don't see any other white parts. Hm strange I really like the white nosecone as a highlight. I'm sure it will look good in Battroid-Mode too.
-
I just had an idea. And because this is the Internet and I'm totally self centered I have to share it even if you don't care about it. Arcadia make me an Aquarion that can transform and can stand up! Show Bandai how to design this toy like a boss! Seriously I would buy it.... ....probably!

Now that I had time to fiddle with the toy a bit more I really see some lost potential in the stand. I still love how the pieces of the stand feel when I handle them but I have some thoughts how the stand would be better. 1. Make the base a bit longer so you can sink the main strut of the arm into the middle of the base which would create sort of a launch deck of an aircraft carrier. The support strut can be stored in the compartments so it is all neat and tidy. 2. Add an additional joint in front of the connection to the support strut so that the plane can roll. It could be as simple as the piece where the stand adapter attaches to. Maybe beef it up a bit so the toy is save. 3. Add an additional rotation joint int the main arm behind the connector of the support strut so that we can pose the Valkyrie as it launches with a steep ascent from the deck of the carrier. I have it display in a way where the main arm is hanging off the other and of the base and the support strut fills in the gab in the middle to fake the look of a flight deck but I like my stands as I like my transforming toys: sleek, self-contained and intricate. [edit:] I have to add that the base looks like a dustpan right now and I don't like that.
