Sweet, all out war. -
hopefully they release the upgrade parts separately as well. If not... well, it's kind of a dick move. It smacks of the vf-0a CF shin/not shin frak up all over again

I'm game for the photo-etched upgrades but I can do without the busted cannons.

I've never had any luck with those hook ones. And my stud finder SUCKS. I don't know how many times it's given me the clear only to find myself hitting a stud or even one of those metal joiners. But we don't use it enough to go out and buy a nice one, only enough to complain about how much the one we do have sucks.

plastic drywall screws... they never really seem to work for me and I always end up sheering off more than a few.

bah, transform a yammie sv-51 one handed then you'll have bragging rights.

Optibotimus has his youtube review up. He broke his already.

MW Bay Area Meet Winter 2011
eugimon replied to UN Spacy's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
whatever is fine really, just that if it's between SJ and SF, I vote for SF. -
I'm sure someone out there has plans to buy 1 for each of the Macross class ships launched...

Not true, I had grunt and zayeed in the line and jack died and non loyal party members in the fight with terminator can die, they can be crushed or fall.

1/48+fp's, 1/60, And 1/72 Picture Gallery Pt 4
eugimon replied to VF-18S Hornet's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Look, no offense... I get that you're into them and that's cool that it works for you. But you've been putting pictures of that into pretty much every thread you participate in, regardless of whether it has anything to do with the topic. And for the record, this isn't a generic toy and figure thread, it's a thread specifically for Macross toys and that doll is not. People have asked you to stop. Mods have asked you to stop. Please show some courtesy for the other members of this board and limit pictures of your dolls and AV equipment to the appropriate threads. -

By stating a preference you're already inferring a value judgement. I'm sorry if the idea of people calmly debating what they like and why bothers you that much.

The original post was about incorporating v2 designs into an updated 1/48 toy... How can you possibly have that discussion without talking about what works and what doesn't work?
-
Yeah, see, when I read that I didn't understand it to be just about the head placement and I still don't understand what the landing gear and heat shield have to do with the head placement. In any case, when you look at how long the neck is on the hi-metal and how shallow the chest depression is, the actual placement of the head isn't really any better than on the v2, and is still far off model compared to the line art as shown in your own review:
-
nice pics!
-
yeah and it gets the feet wrong, the hips wrong, the chest wrong, the nose cone wrong, sensor blisters wrong... it doesn't get points for being smaller.. which has nothing to do with your assertion that the hi-metal is an improvement over the v2 1/60 the one 1s adds a slightly undersized and squished head to that list. It's a good toy, yes. But objectively more accurate to the line art than the v.2 1/60? It's pretty obvious that it's not. And honestly, as you mention, the head placement on the hi-metal is only marginally better than on the v2. Yes, the v2 has the collar which is wrong but the hi-metal itself isn't that far off and both are far from the mark compared to the 1/48 which is the most accurate out of all of the modern vf-1 toys.

The hi metal gets one thing right, maybe two, but is otherwise worse in many aspects. Maybe the glaring flaws on it don't bother you as much as the glaring flaw on the yammie does but it's still chock full of compromise and flaws.
