You should never rely on the pilots as a reference for a Valk's scale/size.

Damn it. Heard the news earlier today from my wife. Seba-san was arguably the best hip-hop producer/hook maker this side of Dr. Dre. "Light as a feather. . ."

Granted, I'm not posing the Beta kicking down doors or anything. But I wouldn't call the Beta's legs "floppy." Heavy, yes. But certainly not floppy, especially with the ratchet joints it has in place. When they unveiled the Beta, I was more worried of the legs flopping in bomber mode. Thankfully, the designers added a bunch of additional connection points to keep the legs locked and in place. I really haven't experienced any chipping on the legs either. If anything, the large gap between the legs and the overhead array in bomber mode has kept any potential chipping to a minimum.

You'll probably wanna be careful though if you're putting on a fully-loaded 1/48 with GBP-1S armor or an Alpha-Beta combo. The extra heft on those suckers makes me think twice about putting them on a flexi. You also gotta be careful about not tightening the screws too much. If you go too far in tightening them, you risk stripping the screwhole's thread, resulting in floppy prongs.

He actually did use a few shots from us, specifically from eugi and m0n5t3r. If you click the "Customer Action Shots" on the bottom left, you'll see the pics selected. This is me purely speculating here, but I'm guessing Los went with the pics that had the more professional looking white or uniform-colored backgrounds. I can sorta see the logic in that. And I understand why he wants to advertise them as "FlightPose" stands now: it makes them more marketable to the action figure vehicle and model aircraft crowds. However, I'm probably gonna keep calling them "flexi's." That's what makes them so much better than most stands out there: they're flexible and adaptable to almost any pose your imagination can come up with. Wanna pose your Valk banking hard left? No problem. Wanna switch it to banking hard right? Move the prongs around and viola! Much like a Valk, it's that ability to adapt to the situation (or the pose) that makes the "flexi" name so appropriate. EDIT: Mixing and matching is essential to getting the best poses.

Do it, Kicker773!! I double-dog dare ya'!

I really hope we don't get another "CTU HQ comes under attack." Day 5 was probably the last time that particular ploy had any sort of dramatic impact. Also, I know they're not the same actress. But is it just me, or does President Hassan's wife look eerily like Counselor Troi from Star Trek TNG (circa Season 1 or 2)?

^^The VF-1 is the Stealth color-scheme that Yamato released a few years back (with a few custom stickers and touches ). They released it with a set of black and grey Fast/Strike Packs around the same time Yamato released the Low-Viz Version 2 and the Woodland Camo GBP-1S armor. The bird in the back is a custom YF-21 I made a couple of years ago, when the 21's first came out. Pics of both are in the links below in my signature.

Readying for launch I'm probably one of the few idiots that prefers, ever so slightly, the Stealth's regular fighter mode over the FP'ed version of the fighter. Must be the different shades of grey, blue, and black on the panel that becomes the battroid's back. Too bad a few of the stickers on the old bird are showing their age and wear though.

^^Regarding the last pic: Mommy Q-Rau would be so proud of her "kids"!

It's amazing how just a little bit of panel-lining can really make a Valk pop. **************** You cannot escape the past. Or "I AM your future!"

Couldn't see it there at first blush. But if you think about it, the poor YF-19 probably does suffers from "gunpod envy." The VF-11's got the bayonet. The YF-21 sports the dual-wielding action. Heck, even the original VF-1's got a bigger 'pod.

YF-19: Freakin' gunpod show-offs!!

Am I too much of a BSG nerd for putting this sticker on the Stealth? Or am I too much of a Macross freak for the "NO STEP" being the first thing I noticed about the Mark VII Vipers?

Looking forward to it. It'll be interesting to see how the two-tone scheme looks in battroid.

Slick-looking paint-scheme! Got any pics of battroid and Gerwalk modes? It always a nice change of pace to see someone skillfully pull off a non-VF-1 Yamato custom.

Nice work, A7! It's just too bad there isn't that much artwork out there of Cathy. Somehow I think Ozma's ride would have her on the noseart instead of Sheryl.

^^Max: HEY!!! Get the FRAK out of the way!! Awesome work on the figures, EXO.

^^Aww, FRAK ME! Just tried to access it from Google. . . no luck. Where'd it go? EDIT: Looks like it's already being discussed in more detail here.
