yeah me too, i have some red and black marks like those on mine in addition to the scraped off UN SPACY leg tampo noel noticed. i didn't mention them as they weren't important to me.
-
amiami came in 5 mins ago, going to keep 'em boxed. i'll wait for roy and prob get 5x. Roy's my favorite. i hope they do tv roy pilot and dyrl roy pilot and then low viz roy... then... low viz supers, and dyrl supers. and correct everything by then. then have hikaru riding in roy's plane special edition with red tipped missiles and tv color super packs with tampos specific to roys.

i didn't see this post, yeah, that's my issue with only one arm on mine. the other arm seems to tab ok without feeling loose. ah i just refreshed and saw the post, i hope so perhaps the superparts themselves will have something to keep the arms locked when the legs are not tabbed in
-
one of my arms is sagging on the chogokin. the other arm stays in place okay. i'm concerned and hope the arms with the super parts attached don't add extra weight and sag down with the super parts. especially in Gerwalk with the legs down and the arms still tucked in as Max did over the water in DYRL and the Hikaru Misa tent scene. hopefully it won't be as bad as the yamato 1/48. my other 2x 1j 's are coming in today but i may keep them sealed.

i certainly would take a look at a bandai KO. i'm waiting for KO missiles instead of getting mugged by bandai. i say the odds of the missiles are high.
-
that's exciting, these were so hard to get
-
are these new stands?
-
wow! nice paint job on the figures -
take better care transforming these. they have fragile areas.
-
that's horrible
-
yeah, that's the hardest part, as mentioned before, it'll be really tight. you can use something very dense and thin like a razor and get it open but risk scarring the surrounding leg.those tools are meant to got in tight areas without scarring it. thankfully you have amazon as you mentioned you'll most likely return the defective leg if you can't fix it, hope you get it open! i know it took me a while the first time on the arcadia 0A.

+2

yes! keep us posted. glad you have amazon policy for protection. it should be an easy fix. the hardest part will be taking that cover/cap off.
-
hmm. yeah i have to return some Christmas returns to balance out this month.
-
ah you beat me

amiami just shipped my 2x dhl

just be careful, the thigh cover will feel tight but will pop out. when opening the thigh up, if it doesn't come apart easy, bandai may have used a dab of superglue to keep them held together, use the tool to carefully run it along where halves of thigh meet and it will come apart w/o much force like Ignacio Ocamica suggested it may be excess in there and should be an easy fix. or may have to reseat the metal pin in there to sit flush against where it connects to the intakes. Noel, that's a nice banner , yeah my tampo print came deteriorated out of the box on the "Y" @treatment jinxed me. i was bandai'd. but didn't care too much... i was more concerned if i can handle it normally w/o essential parts loosening over time.

thumbs up

yeah, that's it. good luck whatever you decide to do. predictable, thankfully there's decent guys who contribute. you would think they'd be a bit smarter to realize it makes them look like idiots. but bc they think it's anonymous, they don't realize it. back to the valk, i've been handling the DX and i agree with Mommar on the nose folding down. the 2.2 style crotch mechanism unlatches and droops down like the bandai vf-19 when i move the nose cone. i'm going to make sure not to touch it. one of my leg fins fell off while i was messing with it. Thankfully nothing broke or sheared off on the fin. i reattached it right back on. it's very loose as my bandai 19's fins now but i'm just not going to mess with it anymore. fins are not a study even with them recessed in. i can't rest it softly on my box as my 1/60s. the wings have no points to tab in and keep it centered so friction is holding it. pics below overall it has a lot of fragile parts that will loosen over time but it's still a cool valk. i like it. i'll need more time before comparing it to the 1/60's Noel loves shenanigans

ok i just opened mine up, good news for you Tekkaman2k5! there is access to the thigh piece. you'll need to pop this cover off (rectangle shaped piece in the middle pictured) to expose the screw. Be very careful to use a thin plastic tool. Do not use anything metal such as flat head screwdriver as it will leave a mark on your valk and dent the plastic. ex: tool set from amazon that works if you can't find something in your home https://www.amazon.com/Vastar-Precision-Screwdriver-Magnetizer-Demagnetizer/dp/B073TR8KCR/ the long black piece pictured in the link or equivalent is what you need. it's a plastic mini panel popper

thanks for the review. looks like the lower fins may be better than the floppy dx 19 fins. i'll open mine soon to check myself. Thanks Mommar, just want to comment as i saw a dumb downvote for your impressions/opinion. I'd like to point out Mommar was the first one to negatively criticize Arcadia 19's ankles using ball joints vs. ratchet and ID's the problem as the ball joints were so small in size (corrected with the Vf-0) i recall "positive cheerleaders crowd" giving him flak for being so called "negative." Turns out he was right about those arcadia ball joint ankles. Not everyone will agree with everything, but in terms of joints and hinges. i'd take Mommar's opinion over majority of sunshine MWer's opinion any day hmm i need to open mine up but i had split looking like that on a yamato 1/60 VT-1 that i had to open up as there was excess glue that caused something similar inside. i don't if it's a totally different issue and don't know if the Dx Bandai thigh can opened up easy like the yamato 1/60 with simple screw driver. be careful and avoid forcing anything to avoid stretch marks.
