Yup, like I said, it's either or. Personal preference at the end. I can't see any other gimmicks, maybe a view of the back may help in battroid mode. From the looks of it in fighter mode, it doesn't look like there is much either, and i can't determine whether the airbrake opens or not.

They are always upside down in Battroid mode. In fighter mode you have them the right way up. Unless you have two gunpods or are willing to remove the sticker each time, it's always going to be up one way and down the other. Even one up and one down on either side is conditional from the angle you look at it.

Actually when I think about it, the only two-seater that can be done from my view is a VF-1D. Unless it goes my a brand new type of perfect transformation mechanism that I have never seen before, I think it's near impossible to do a perfect TF VT-1 or VE-1......

We're talking paintschemes, so yes.

I want some more VF-171 love. Sure the 25 is a nice variable fighter, but there is another side to show people.

Pfft. VF-D trainer dude! There's just something about that orange and tan colour with green visors. For those that don't believe me, I'll quote again: To tell you the truth, other than making my GBP-1S look uber cool and more proportionate, the removable nosecone did little for me. As were the hardly used wingflaps. Nice try to make a more detailed fighter, but in the end, it is a toy.

Well at least if this pans out, we'll have the complete collection and no excuses, two-seaters and all. We know they will, it's just a matter of how well they can do it. Hopefully the posability and all three forms will be other worldly, and way beyond fold in half and hide behind a bulletproof shield.

Limited edition is limited edition! It is their word!

No chance. Remember, it was the paintscheme that was the limited edition. Not the Valk as a whole. Well Graham did mention that it was designed to be two seater adjustable from the start. Hopefully this applies to the VF-0 as well. And yes, if they release FAST Packs with it and they are under $100 USD before shipping, that would be mighty good. Value add Yamato, Value add please. Looks like they are still the same swing bars to transform the leg. The best design ideas never die.

Nope. If you want updates on my display buckets, I'll happily post them. I got a new Clear one! Honestly, I didn't know that it was that hard to build one.

I'm all for super posability. I'd be really impressed and would start collecting again (and buy 7 more 1/48 Roy VF-1S to make a Max VF-1S), if they showed better posability in the legs. It's almost as if Yamato VF-1s were mobile phones or laptops. They get smaller but the functionality may exceed their predecessors. Laugh all you want at my 139 1/48s, I'm collecting all again. , I don't care.

That gap makes it look super funky eh?

WAHOO! No more variants! My collection is complete!

Well this kind of kills my collection purposes, seeing as I really intended it to be the end all. Two seaters from the start does seem to be attractive though. But I would rather keep the bigger scales. The fighter mode looks kinda stubby though...... The shoulders look proportionately smaller too, and the gunpod just shy of being a pistol. Double jointed elbows would allow for a full bicep flex, and also there is movement for the fins on the lower leg. I assume the movable kneecap is still there? I'd like to see that prototype of the YF-21 go on ebay. Shows the internals beautifully.

It ain't big, and I'm no scale freak. We'll see if it really has all the good stuff in this smaller scale. It may have, who knows? But I doubt it. I'm looking for another jump in toy technology here.

They look quite robust for their size.

Just a head and paint change, and look how much better it looks.

Kangaroo is actually very nice, I like it better than the beef steaks. Very tender and flavourful. Crocodile tastes like chicken.

I reckon that fighter belongs to the kid with the blonde hair and glasses. He could be the new Max Jenius of the series, as he seems to go to the same school as Satome.

I'm neutral as it depends on how they do it. If they use crappy tape that will stuff up the box, then I'm not for it. If it keeps the box nice, then I'll have it.

Hmmm, I need a new canvas gi. Anyone want to buy a few boosters in advance?

Awesome, no fold booster, so I don't have to waste money on it. I have like 4 extra that I don't want.

Well, the scheme is cool, but that is not why I got it for. I admit, it was just to fill out my collection and because it was rare. I do like it though, cause it has the best QC out of all the Valks.

All we need is a Thunderbolt to complete the holy trinity. I can't wait to have the 11 GERWALK carry the 21 over it's back.

Awesome. Looks like we have our "S" and "J"-like models.
