I suspected it was for the fighter engine length reason. But for the amount of morphing proportions, It seemed to trivial a reason to make a weird fix for... and they could have did an extension with some hidden panel magic like they did with the YF. I guess it was easier to just copy precedence of every toy having a black hold there at this point lol I have a feeling the neck cover can be gotten away with on the 19S, with the bundle of head lasers as distraction, and their turret base matching and breaking up part of the cliff. It seems like the misalligned fuselage issue is still kind of there. The piece that holds the canards, with the vent slits. On my YF, its totally buckled up over the piece behind it. I could press it in, but then the belly panel under the cockpit would then shoot out. Through careful squeezing balancing of tensions, it can be hidden for some time until anything gets bumped, I'm seeing that same two panels slightly stepped up here as well, although to a much smaller degree.

I don't understand the knee gap. It's not even there in battroid or gerwalk, and as far as I can see, neither is it in various fighter mode art. It's literally only there in toy depictions, and only in fighter mode, through an intentional extention showing the gerwalk joint that is collapsed and hidden in other modes, and bandai is cranking it up to 11 here. Anyway, seems like the landing gear hubs are painted white. Seems like mega inflation for a barebones valk to cost more than the 25 Tornado...

That looks and sounds like a lot of work to get this shot

After looking at the images closely, I have concluded that only the top of the chest is the same mold. And maybe the forearms. I'm sure its safe to assume the sliding thruster spine is probably the same too, but that seems to be as far as common parts go, if you don't count the metal bits.

It seems my misplaced reply and your reply to it got moved here. I feel like I've seen an AMV recently where there was footage of the yapping mouth used as Basara's megaphone.

They went ham with the mouth lol. And the knee gap is real. It doesn't quite seem like the shoulder spots are real peg holes for the sound booster like the HMR. I would like this for the way it bridges the gap between the YF and VF's differences, and the full stature it makes with the sound booster. But here I am, scraping up pennies to decide if I want to thow it at the 27 PO... lol Think I'll wait this out and see if a Blazer comes around. Edit: I should probably have posted to the other thread

While reading, I jumped the gun and thought you discovered the paladin pack for the Prophecy. Turns out you meant color coded super and amored packs lol. Aside from the lance, I think it was mostly just made of the two former packs mixed and matched. Good job with Sheryl, I'm sure she couldn't have been made in that pose without you having first gone through the unspeakable horrors in that folder lol.

Not planning to get this, probably... but more pretty pics of this to flood the interwebs is great news for the eyes and wallet.

Seems like the missile pod thing that T-Rex did with the shoulder intake bits on the 19 Advance is canon, and the thing that Bandai did on the DX isn't lol Speaking of which, what happened to the custom mod parts to add the same features and more on the DX? Last I checked, nothing seemed to come of it even though parts were manufactured???

Sunhat, parasol? IDK, but they could do w/e, or even just toss it out when the girl is onboard lol

KInda odd only Ozma gets super pack and they didn't announce Luca while they were at it lol. I know there are a couple more images, one of which includes sound boosters for Alto too.

Well, considering the western mecha audience hates the series, our echo chamber doesn't really count as fans, so our opinion doesn't matter lmao. Meanwhile, the main ship of the show is arguably KanameXMesser. Vtubers love their macross music too, so Axia and Giraffe Blues covers are always accompanied with joke weeping for Messer. He's basically not disliked outside of here, and maybe MAL reveiws. The retcon did away with most of him having a stick up his bum anyway. They turned him into the tragedy train instead, so its fair to say, he ultimately became the single memorable event in the TV series and retcon movie. Most importantly, yall took my sentence apart and went off on it without all of the words lol. I called him the fan fav ace pilot, not fan fav character, or idol. Afterall, he is kind of undeniably the best pilot in the show, since everyone else either does nothing, or uses copious amounts of space idol magic, hile he fought evenly and basically only lost to his own handicap. At least until Max shows up and breaks the power scaling with his cameo character hacks.

The blue one is piloted by Keith, the main "antagonist" combatant for most of the show. Does nothing memorable other than kill a fan fav ace pilot. Only shows up to cause mayhem on behalf of his bromance partner that is controlling his brother and the whole country. The red one is piloted by Bogue (aka Booger, of course he gets the bloody scheme...). He was the insignificant second in command that angsts like a preschooler. Only got promoted to fly this unit in the post TV series movie, since Keith offed himself to stop the true big bad, his bromance partner, in the TV finale. Then there's the evil "misguided" bromance partner himself, the true big bad, Roid. Great name... He remote controls his unit, only appearing in the final fight, in white and gold. AKA the pope unit. They might have teased this unit at a hobby show, I'm not sure anymore, but if they did, it's long since become another classic Bandai vaporware. All of the above are the commander Sv-262Hs models with the dog toothed delta wings and have what I call the anubis head. The rest are the grunt units, Sv-262Ba, with the squid head and backward swept wings. The the bulk of them are turquoise. The main entourage of 4 or 5 with faces and names that nobody remembers, originally including Booger, had these, They had some minor custom colored stripes. I don't think anyone remembers who was which color, or was able to tell while in action scenes. Then there's the the pope's fodder units. They were remote hijacked grunt units, controlled by Roid like his pope unit, but nano paint changed from the standard turquoise into a white, silver, and lesser gold scheme. I'd say they look kind of like crusaders. I don't think anyone actually remembers these existing, so its never going to be merchandized. Finally, there's the unit that Mirage, the shafted secondary heroine, stole in the recap/retcon movie. She changed it into her custom magenta and white scheme. Bandai having not made a DX of this heroine valk after so long, IMO is basically an announcement that they refuse to make molds for the Ba model We keep hoping there is a Ba, but I don't think most people realistically have expectations of it happening anymore lol.

Satelight has been doing the latest Aquarion, and Sentai Red Isekai animes. The latter even just had an OG Aquarion cameo, and Kawamori also designed a separate villian mech for the same ep too. Don't think they could have had time to be cooking anything else.

I don't have this, but I thought I was a wimp for reaching the point of shaking when trying to play with these kinds of toys. I guess it's actually normal. 😁 We all knew the Draken III was based on the J-35 Draken. But turns out, it also takes the form of its predecessor, the J-32 Lancen
