    DX VF-27 Revival

    Lolicon replied to borgified's topic in Toys

    Delta is the worst Macross series because it was both incredibly boring and had no idea what it wanted to be. Was it supposed to be a mecha series that happened have idols in it? Or an idol series that happened to have mecha in it? I don't think even Kawamori knows (or cares because he already got a dump truck full of money from Bandai). Anyway, hope they fix the issues the "renewal" 27 had, like the improperly painted stripes around the hip armor. Though they botched the chest stripes on the revival 25 so I'm not counting on it.

    Hope they fixed the sagging when the wing attachments are on. Anyone who has the renewal tornado packs knows.
  3. Lolicon
    Still the best Delta valk.

    The little rubbery feet on the stands have indeed yellowed over time. One entire row is more than enough to house all the Delta releases. The new cases will allow me to split SDF and DYRL and allow me to display the rest of Frontier and 7. Then there's the HMRs and 1/48 DX to add to that... I could rearrange everything into in-universe chronological order... but Delta would still end up on the bottom shelf.

    After much delay, I started putting together the Delta shelf, which is the bottom shelf of my moducases. The bottom shelf is where Delta belongs. Ignore the YF-19 battroid and Mirage's aunt as they'll be moved soon. Have another set of 8 moducases coming in the near future to house the many other valks I still have yet to display, so I need to finish this setup soon. Hope Gokinplus restocks soon because I'm running out of stands.

    Looks good! Though I think you need to give it the same treatment you give your little D.
  7. Lolicon
    Ah, thought you were talking about the booster nozzles. Looks like it would be pretty easy to just mask that part if you really want to maintain its original finish.
  8. Lolicon
    Well part of its sheen is in the glossiness of the plastic, so you'll definitely lose some of it if you topcoat it. If you're really concerned about retaining its current look, you can always just pop the boosters off and not coat them. I topcoated my Revival 25F so you can see how it looks here. I used a semi-gloss finish instead of going full matte though.
  9. Lolicon
    Hehe thanks. He's a goddamn troublemaker who gets into everything, like all Siamese. I'm glad I have enclosed moducases to protect my valks now.
  10. Lolicon
    Wow! Whoever did that must be incredibly handsome and have a higher than average sperm count.
  11. Lolicon
    Damn you got a good eye. And that's Hayate's original 31, so no tramp stamp.
  12. Lolicon
    1/1 scale Siamese kitten and three 1/60 scale valks. Can you identify the valks in the pic?

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Lolicon replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Bandai also needs to learn to put plastic wrap around the wings like Yamato always did. I have to touch up the painted navigational lights right out of the box.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    Lolicon replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    I was sufficiently annoyed by all three of my YF-19s from the full set packs having loose AF stabilizers that fall off at the slightest touch that I went and bought the reissue. Pretty lame considering that the full set pack wasn't even the first release of this toy. It's a repainted VF-19 Advance with a few minor tweaks and they still botched it up. But at least I finally have a good copy of the second best YF-19 toy out there.
  15. Lolicon
    Absolutely. If I accidentally dropped a penny down a sewer grate, that would be a bigger financial loss to me than this is to them. Yeah they're getting their Bluefin sticker back.
  16. Lolicon
    So I originally bought two YF-21s from Japan. One arrived intact, the other with a broken head laser. Since Bandai considers it a "quality variance" and refuses to provide any support to replace this one piece (it would be pretty easy to just mail some replacement head lasers out), I went and bought one off Amazon US. The first unit I got from Amazon had a broken head laser too. I immediately exchanged it for a replacement. The replacement unit had an intact laser. So I am sending the broken unit I originally got from Japan in its place and getting a full refund. This is the kind of crap I have to resort to for a simple fix on a pretty expensive toy because Bandai ultimately is a shitty & anti-consumer company. 2 out of 4 units arrived broken. A 50% failure rate is absolutely unacceptable in any product line. (Yes I know this is a tiny sample size but this is a widespread issue and I would not be surprised if the real failure rate is actually pretty close to 50%.)

    See what Bandai has done to you?

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    Lolicon replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Bought one even though I don't like this character and the color scheme is merely okay. I'm such a consumer whore. God forbid Bandai actually gives people what they want with the white 262. That would be scandalous!
  19. Lolicon
    They're model kits. https://www.hlj.com/1-100-scale-hg-vf-22s-sturmvogel-ii-maximillian-jenius-use-banh683441 https://www.hlj.com/1-100-scale-hg-vf-22s-sturmvogel-ii-milia-fallyna-jenius-use-banh683243 There is a Gamlin version too, but I believe it's a web exclusive item.
  20. Lolicon
    How nice of Bandai to pre-yellow it for us. Now we won't be disappointed ~5 years from now. Get the disappointment out of the way at the start!
  21. Lolicon
    What's so "limited" about this reissue besides the stand? Did it always come with missiles or did we have to buy the missile sets for those originally? (Mine's been in storage until I get more display cases.)
  22. Lolicon
    Now that's a fantastic pic that really shows off how good it looks in battroid! Unfortunately it doesn't fair so well in fighter. Like others have pointed out, the forward fuselage looks too small connected to its overiszed bulbous body. It's like they stuck the Yamato 1/72 nose on a 1/60 airframe.
  23. Lolicon
    You didn't miss much. Delta is the worst Macross series ever.
  24. Lolicon
    The figure was of Sheryl in a gothic lolita outfit, but in the movie it was worn by Alto.
  25. Lolicon
    Yup. Damn shame Bandai has a stranglehold on the license. I want an Arcadia VF-25...
