    4 paint schemes and a new mold is disappointing?

    I did not think the visor was a different color when looking at them under my lights.

    Man, reading reviews of these toys was rough. So many people expected a $15 1/100 toy to not need any part swapping like landing gears or a heat shield. It almost seemed like Toynami would have been better off just including the display stand and not even making the mechanisms in the legs to have landing gears. Of course, having the joints break, including the display stand connector, didn't help. The poor tolerances with the pegs that held fighter mode together were another big 'oops'. Hindsight being 20/20, if they wanted to do 2 seaters eventually they should have just made the canopies a smoke gray you couldn't really see through (or the prototype blue) and not bothered with a cockpit at all. For $15 I could live without a cockpit that didn't look very good or have a pilot. I think the moral here is that if you're going to go cheap, focus on the toy and make it solid and don't worry about any frills.

    Is it a V2 or V1? The V1s definitely yellowed badly.

    Got a phone call from a friend the other day asking me to stop by. When I got there he had a new arcade in his game room... Splatterhouse. Good times.

    Yamato 1/60 Regult

    jenius replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I think Arcadia should make a toy dropping all internals but leaving the door open for a later "internals" set (that maybe even another company like T-Rex could fulfill. The Regult toy without the internals would be much less top heavy and would make a better toy and it should be so simple that the price wouldn't need to be astronomical.

    As others have noted, this will almost certainly be a shelf-warmer if not made specifically to order or in a tiny quantity. An exclusive is a good way for the toy you (and very few others) want but doesn't have sufficient size to warrant a widespread release. I know we all love buying valks at 60% off but that generally tells you that the company probably should have made less of the product. I think this was shown previously as a reason for people to buy the VF-1A assembly kit.

    Glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the info. I'm sure I butcher some other terms as well.

    I don't think it matters, their next announcement is a couple weeks away.

    Finally got my Arcadia review up. Sorry i'm a little monotone, still recovering from that cold. Starts a little slow too as there's a lot of history now. I think it's done in the highest resolution I've used yet so check it out on HD by going to my Youtube page.

    Maybe the Futurama license is doing well for them.

    100% agree. I was thinking about this the other night. I bet they're going to announce Super Parts at Wonder Festival but the super parts will come with armors to make them standard color, blue, or red. They'll also announce stand alone (no super part included) versions of Max & Miriya VF-1J.. That's my guess.

    Alaska base? Uh... someone is too much of a diehard for completing the universe. The Alaska Base should be like an event exclusive or something.

    I think you only need 5 posts so get social!

    I've been thoroughly vetting mine. Should have a video review up in the next few days. I never really did a decent V2 VF-1 review so it's going to be exceedingly thorough.

    I hope you can recess the mirrors into the legs. They should make an aftermarket screw cover for inside the driver's compartment that includes a tiny hula dancer on top of it.

    I have a 9b, are there pictures of the issue?

    If they do Macross the First VF-1 toys they might also do a Macross the First SDF-1.

    Tightening the wing rotation point is very easily done with clear tape, and easily removed if you wanted to.

    But the Chinese team of triplets is said to be a terrific benefit that lets their Jaeger have an extra arm... it's not like they made it seem like three asians were needed to have the same level as the Americans. In fact, the Chinese were standing after the American Jaeger got beat down and retired. If we argue against nukes being the answer, would "reaction" weapons have been okay? Essentially a weapon that used something science fiction to cause an explosion big enough to kill a giant monster instead of something actually referred to as a "nuke". Are we arguing that the answer should have been diplomacy?

    Wow... that is so wrong.

    I really dig what was done recently with the Bandai YF-29 Isamu. Why not a VF-1 Isamu, a VF-1 Guld, a VF-1 Ozma, a VF-1 Brera, and a VF-1 Basara?
  23. jenius
    I find that funny because that was like the worse shelf warmer of all valks.

    This thread needs pics

    Drawings vary a lot any way, I wouldn't get too hung up on minor line art variances.
