treatment

Finally put this Revival up into battroid-mode... and it really does kinda suck and a bit disappointing. Mainly the hips' ball-joints when equipped with SPs. First time TF'ed and it already insist on wanting to be loosey leaning back due to being back-heavy with the boosters. This is my first DX VF-25 valk, so I dunno how you guys suffered it with the previous Renewal editions. I only had the tiny non-transformable Robot Spirits, previously. This Revival's leg-armors annoys me as it pops out easily at the slightest touch. The left hip-armor does not even secure itself properly, unlike the right hip-armor. Guess I'll need to Future or Kiki the hip ball-joints and stuff to stop being annoyed with it. I can appreciate my Mirage DX VF-31 even more now, it seems...

here you go:

hlj charged 4490y for their fedex option.

received my VF-25F Revival today from HLJ via fedex. oob: Canopy is not frosted, but does have a very light tint. Annoyingly, out of the box, the right head-laser on mine is a bit raised up and not laying flat/flushed as the left head-laser: Haven't messed with it nor transformed it, yet, so I'm still hoping it was just packaged that way and will be properly flushed after it goes thru all the TF forms/processes. Also, the right knee-cap on mine is not quite as flushed compared to the left knee-cap, either:

Ouch! Try to get some support from the Manda-shop you bought it from. They do try to help sometimes. Otherwise, you will need to contact Arcadia and try to get support from them. If you do get support from Arcadia, you will need a proxy-service for a japanese-address since Arcadia somehow cannot send items outside of Japan for warranty-service.

think this is a 1/24 head : https://twitter.com/6jiro1/status/1653247814552670208?cxt=HHwWgMDSgZmIwvEtAAAA
