    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    My question: Am I reading that right and the cockpit is the head of the battroid? On second look, it seems like (what's left of) the rear fuselage + arm assembly slides forward while the forward fuselage and legs rotate down. The nosecone becomes the head(?), the cockpit is... I dunno, and the wings fold down to cover the back. Though why they're inverted (forward edges facing downward) I still can't wrap my head around. Clearly they left the full transformation sequence out of frame on purpose.

    I'd be more interested in that Dom if it were more of an original design. About the only thing unique to it are the backpack and shoulders. Everything else has been borrowed from pre-existing designs, namely the legs/body/arms of the Zaku II prototype from 08MST, the head of an MSV Gouf, and the beam bazooka of the Rick Dom. It even comes with interchangeable chests mimicking either the Zaku or Gouf chassis. But I mean, damn if it doesn't look good. I just wish it had had more done to it.

    Haven't gotten through the raw yet, but some initial thoughts: EDIT: EDIT 2: Oh frakk off Kawamori with your cool transformations. Now you're just pandering to us and we're eating it up.

    So this is a really REALLY minor point, but the handle on the gunpod is different between the Bandai and Tomy Tec models. It seems the Bandai one is a bit closer to the animation, but there hasn't been a very good angle of it at this point. Overall it looks like the Tomy Tec one has more inaccuracies all around, but it still doesn't look bad per se. Those biceps are bigger than they ought to be, but then they also look more substantial.

    Does that thing have spare magazines in the shield or something? Because otherwise it's going to run out of ammo real quick... (Also what is it supposed to be? An early Fed prototype using captured Zaku/whatever-that-other-pre-Zaku-I-kit-was suits?)

    I'm seriously considering dipping into WataMote based on word of mouth that went a little bit something like "It's so real it's sometimes painful, not because you feel bad for her, but because you feel bad for YOURSELF." Ah, more effusive praise was never heaped upon a creative endeavor.

    So those who've seen it: Thoughts? I heard a podcast talking about it a little bit and the impression was overall positive. "Like AoT, but better" was the briefest summation I could find. I enjoyed AoT well enough up 'til episode 13 or so, when they spent ten episodes talking beneath a giant rack of ribs. So I'm middling chuffed on this and need some good word of mouth to reach full chuff.

    I suppose it's not out of the question to also provide fixed-pose wing tips that you peg on and off. Doubt they'll go that route, but it would certainly make for a more secure connection.

    Not ones that won't loosen up almost immediately, at any rate. Or maybe they'll compromise on the wing thinness specifically to fit those joints.

    I forget, are you making the A-Dash, or just the Avalanche?
  14. kajnrig
    Oh, no doubt. I considered doing it even just in Paint. In fact... EDIT: Ah, five minutes and no skill, go go go!

    I'm just wondering when the photoshopped version comes out so she can insult in American, too.
  16. kajnrig
    Yes but that pun tho.
  17. kajnrig
    I still think the proper translation is catfish. Because yes, the pun is worth it.

    Does the "Ver Ka" moniker mean that it's using the Ver. Ka as a base kit? Or was the Thunderbolt FA Gundam designed by Katoki?

    The part that really got me was the jigger flea. frakkin' A.

    I have a question about photo-etch parts. Are they meant to be applied then painted the same way you would other scratch-built detail? Or are you expected to put them on after all other assembly/painting is complete, and leave the metal bare? I guess I'm not quite sure how much more they add to kits nowadays, considering the detail you can get out of the bare plastic has risen considerably. But anyway, I'm really looking forward to this. I've always wanted to build an Elint but never got the chance before they stopped production. Keep it up.

    And tossing babies around willy-nilly. Oh, I thought it was something in particular that prompted it, like I'm guessing someone wondered about Messer and Kaname? Or Arad and Kaname? And then someone else must have asked "but can idols date in this universe?" etc. etc. etc.

    Since the kits come on runners, you can practice by gluing the runner trees together. After snipping the pieces off, of course.

    I know, and it's still one of my few sticking points about his style. But whatever his last movie was, some military one based on real life, I thought that one saw less significant camera shaking, no? Maybe I'm just imagining it.

    Saw it a few days ago. I remember enjoying it, but looking back it and the first two episodes do feel a bit in a rush. I wondered in another forum whether Delta was supposed to be a 39/52-episode broadcast forced to slot into a single season. How many episodes is this slated to be? The music continues to grow on me, slowly. The mock battle was a bit disappointing. Not sure why, but still disappointing. Maybe it was the end, how Messer just randomly and unnecessarily shows up just as randomly and unnecessarily as he does earlier. Were those subs accurate and Makina and/or Reina have their own home and the two of them live together? Or is it just another dorm they share separate from the others? Because of lack of space? Gotta say I'm digging the actual planet, though. Actual geography and pretty vistas to provide backdrops. I didn't realize how confined Frontier felt until this show. The whole "purity" socially-imposed chastity belt did play a role in it, I think, though I seem to recall the allegation was that she was actually forcing herself onto several men. Not just nymphomania but abuse to go with it. But then I took those reports with massive amounts of salt (partly due to said "purity" taboo). Wasn't there an/several AKB48 member(s) who suffered a nervous breakdown after it was made public she was romantically involved? Also why are we talking about idols and dating?

    What even happened in Legacy? No, but more seriously, the sequels were great and all but I was really hoping for a return to the more... mellow? styling of the original. And sure as heck less shaky cam.
