nice to see somebody else here taking a liking to these RD figs. got my Unicorn last x-mas... can't wait for Destroy mode to come out this month so i can give the bazooka to Unicorn mode . Will get the Stark Jegan and V2 Assault Buster too next month. not really into FMP, but i have to admit these RD <Side AS> figs are way better that their Revo counterparts... a little bit taller too.

it's a weight thing... esp. for the Super Robots/SOC etc. collectors... they actually measure the weight and judge it in proportion to the size of the fig. ...diff. strokes...

just finished watching the RAW... AWESOME!!!... even if i only understood, like, 1-2% of the dialog, LOL! can't wait for the subbed ver.... that'll be even more AWESOME.

can't wait for a subbed ver to come up... dl'ing the RAW in the meantime... great news about the OVA... hope more merchandise/toys are made... specifically, a poseable (figma/revo/whatever) Kamina figure!!!... and while they're at it, i'd also like an adult Yoko (ep. 21) action figure w/ optional Gunbee...

... and yellowing body? j/k diff box art... both 1Js in GBP... one w/ the itano missile thingys.

nice pics ff95... like the VF-1S... here's a review w/ bigger pics (same box??? size, i mean.) - http://gamu-toys.info/goukin/yamato/60vf1ap/60vf1ap.html

well, you could hope they would compare the DX 25 w/ the upcoming 27 and say "hey, the 25 seems like crap compared to what we've done w/ the 27... time to make a 'Revised' version..."

LOL... first the VF100 Kai w/ the busted shoulder and now a melted Revo... does Alex by any chance wear a shirt that looks like this - ? j/k

IIRC, you just need to rotate the metal part of the shoulder connecting it to the fuselage. clockwise for the right arm, counter for the left. you do this before flipping up the wings from the back. you'd have to fiddle w/ them a little so they're flush w/out any gaps showing. hope this helps...

oh, sh!ts... i had a hunch they would do that! well, i'm pretty sure you'd be getting those exclusive sound boosters, at least now you'll get the fists w/ it... wait, does it say fists or just fist? they could've posed it better... EDIT - mods proly deleted the hotlinked image... anyways, here's what ff95gj posted in his reply above ^

fixed that for you... as for the gullet, the VF100 Kai's looks okay to me (coz it doesn't have integrated front landing gears)... w/c reminded me of someone suggesting Yamato should try swappable front landing gears for a YF/VF-19 redesign... i for one would like to see how that pans out... if this is the case and should Bandai make as many of these as the Ex Gear Alto (since i've heard that M7 is very popular in Japan)... i'm hoping the VF100 Kai will come up on Amiami at 35-45% off after a few months, just like the Ex Gear Alto...

best review so far! LOL...

the valks and the sheer number of them are so awesome that nobody would really mind the photography... but yeah, use a tripod esp. if the background is reflective...

it's just a stand adapter to display it in fighter mode w/c will attach to the base of the Tamashii Stage Act Stands... Act 3 to be exact coz that's the clear one. you'd have to get one of those stands to use it although it's not very stable esp. w/ figures heavier than the normal MSIA/Robot Damashii or revoltech sized figs. they probably got it from Yamato including only stand adapters w/ the valks.. EDIT - the attachment is just a hole and a peg... you could probably get some acrylic riser and drill a right-sized hole and make it work... although, it looks to me like it's a fixed-pose stand adapter so no banking poses in fighter mode w/ that.

no, not for fisting erm, hitting... more like for posing a la GBP VF-1 deploying it's missiles...

that was fast... nice pics... so how much is it there? any paint issues? too bad, no fists... esp. if you're getting the sound boosters...

hmmmmmmmmmm indeed... what's really stopping me from getting this is what the G-man let slip from his recent talks w/ the Yamato chiefs... if a 1/60 VF-17 is indeed in the works (and i like the VF-17D better than the Kai), size-wise this just doesn't cut it...

looks reeeaaaal niiiice!... but yeah, the price is a little high... a little below the price point for a standalone v.2 VF-1 (i'm thinking HK street prices here...) it really doesn't have any kind of landing gear??? as for someone mentioning the "gullet" issue w/ this vs. the Yamato, it most probably is b'coz of the absence of the front landing gear on the VF-100 Kai. really, really tempting... but i'm thinking, if they can do this for the 1/100 scale, they can definitely make one in 1/60 or 1/55, whichever they have the license for... hhhhmmmm.

probably inflation for the slight increase for the re-issue... definitely opportunism for the way the first issues' prices went crazy. i'm just glad i got one for a good price ~$150... locally it costs ~$200. ... can't wait to get my hands on it!

thanks for the pic and the info mr. c... just got wind that my buddy was able to get me that Max Mazinkaiser for HK1,160... yay! i am soooo glad i didn't bite on the 1st issue i saw last year selling for HK2,500... whew! BTW, aside from the shoulder hilt covers you mentioned, i remember someone mentioning that the swords get scratched when you mount them on the stand??? TIA. and that Daitarn is looking mighty fine... might get tempted to get one if it's released by the time i go to HK this april...

i used to file it when i first did this preemptive mod for the pins, but i realized that after some time the filed part of the pin becomes prone to corrosion... so what i do now is just to flatten the knurled part w/ some jawless pliers since the metal is pretty soft. just flatten it enough until it doesn't turn w/ the outer part of the hinge anymore. on topic... still waiting to hear news about a regular release standalone GBP armor...

VF-4, VF-0D or VF-17 ... any of the three will be awesome! good thing Graham got that VF-1J w/ GBP... now we can all go back to buying our Yamatos w/ some peace of mind...

nice, ff95gj... you really have a thing for "bullet" Sheryl, don'tcha...
