oh, that's a nice thing to know, thanks!

i thought it's the same from the manual

Just transformed mine! Awesome piece! Just watch out with the contacts on the black paint Looks good with the missiles and MDE missiles from the VF-171 EX CF.

I also attended AX 2010. Of course, just for Megumi and May'n. Watched the live concert and the performance was amazing! Too bad can't vid the concert, it was scary to try, as they will kick you out w/o warning! So I just have recorded the singing... I have pics of Megumi as the only panel session i attended. I even got almost the whole panel session in my iphone, i was sneaky, hehe as they won't allow video or taking pics while @ the session... here's a clip of getting the attention of Megumi and the autographs signed by her and May'n, was lucky to get both last July 3 before i left the expo... PS: I like megumi, so beautiful... Very charming and nice. :* I can also put a clip when she said she will like to sing in tagalog too as it is also her roots... vic01

Thanks! You can turn it sideways and up more than 30 deg. w/ the white padding Alto has, and can be rotated 360 deg. Shoulders to the chest is balljointed too so additional movement. Very very articulated. vic01

You cannot put the big gun on the left because there is no left gun hand. Epic! Forgot to upload the pics of the cockpit mode of the powered suit. Will upload some later! My only problem is the shoulder armors, it really limits the articulation of the arms but when posed correctly, you can still move the shoulders w/ the armor on it. The ankle joint of the base figure is double ball-jointed, but it is thin, prone to breakage but can handle the whole figure. Also, the forearm armors will leave some marks on Alto's forearms. Extremities are made of like soft plastic (not ABS) maybe vinyl but strong. Try to slide the forearm armors while putting it onto Alto's forearm. The only armor piece that tends to fall off is the groin armor, it is not loose but that is the only part that will come off by touching it. It is not really a problem though it could be made better. Diecast parts are so minimal, the shin guard of the leg armor is made of diecast, and the 4 clip-like around the shoulder armors and below the armpit. This is my first Figuarts-like figure, but i do see it came from that line. So if you have the SHF Kamen Riders, they are basically the same articulation. Alto stands 6" and w/ the Ex-Gear, it is 7". Wing span is 12". Hope you guys enjoy the pics! vic01

Don't lock the Shoulder armors of Ex-Gear to Alto's shoulders and you can pull more poses w/ the shoulders. I dunno, I'm not fond of it but it looks cool, hehe. Like a clown or a chef. ;D vic01

Whole shin armor for both lower legs armor is made of diecast. Rollers below the foot armor. too bad, does not rotate and cannot stick out. vic01

Figma stand used. Sprint fight w/ Revoltech Eva-01 2.0 Ex-Gear Armor (Extended Gear System) Those four dark gray are made of diecast. vic01

More pics to see how it is... vic01

Just got both Ex-Gear Alto and DX Armored Parts for Alto. Awesome set, too bad, no VF-25G rifle for an exclusive, you need to borrow it from VF-25G. vic01

Just got mine. I like it! "Thinketh not and though shalt be the blossom... Thinketh and though shalt not be." Same as the great reviews above. -Great articulation came from SH Figuarts line (W/ the armor, the articulation will be limited) -Great gimmicks. -Nice set of accessories. -Joints can handle poses but the ankle joints are too thin, risk for breaking. -Real small amount of diecast on the armor gear, better than nothing. -The helmet has a face of Alto inside, too bad can't take it out. Face shield is too dark, but face can still be seen. -The display stand is awesome! Very poseable and neat. -I want the rest of the gang including Ranka and Sheryl! Since they already made a girl for SH Figuarts. -Price is too steep (Got mine from anime export w/ best offer of $70) -Recommended for the MF fans. vic01

Some pics of my DX Armored Messiah VF-25S: Highly recommended, love the armor parts, can stand on its own, everything holds in place, and great for display. No bad comments except the articulation and should have more details. vic01

Got them today! Those extra missiles are great! The Ghost and weapon set is worth buying! I also bought the Fold Booster set because from the anime, I love the part when Michael and Ranka flew to Gallia IV to save Alto and Sheryl. And Ranka sang the Seikan Hikou! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3eEjObrmbg Just quick snap shots! 1/60 Ranka Lee. Kira! ;D The Ghosts are awesome! Love the details, really worth to get the three, but the price. Folda Boosta. Will take some more pics when i get my DX Armored Messiah VF-25S Ozma Custom! vic01
