here's another one from TD w/c is very detailed w/ very nice pics... ***drool*** http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-105466-1-1.html here's one w/ a fighter comparison w/ a 25G. http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-105716-1-1.html

woohoo! finally got confirmation that my buddy in HK got my VF-25S and for less than what i was expecting it would cost! i just need to be patient and wait for it to be hand delivered next week... good thing all this talk of the VF-25S Armored and it's qc is starting to numb me... i guess when i get mine i'll just take it for what it is and enjoy it just like what the G-man said... but i'm still hoping i won't get anything worse than what i've been reading about...

from memory... ep 1 and/or 2... ep7 "Planet Dance" sequence where Ozma does that multiple targeting display thingy... just guessing, but maybe the additional armor parts near the head in f-mode makes it difficult or impossible to keep the neck extension in there... @ff95gj - really interested to hear your comments about the QC on your Armored VF-25S... tried an online translator for your TD review but i got cr@p and couldn't really understand anything, lol

...to help populate this thread a li'l. just some old pics from the old/other thread that i like/miss... (too caught up waiting for news about new valk purchases to take new pics of old stuff ) i missed this crappy pic, lol... a few recent ones from the other thread...

great pics man! w/ the armor on, it definitely matches up well to the model kit. i'm torn about w/c mode i like better, fighter or battroid!!! anyways... care to elaborate about your "HATE Bandai's QC" comments when you got your armored ozma???

hahaha, now you made me remember why i sold my macross revos... lol

can't read a lick of japanese, lol... but i'm loving the cow skull on the chest armor, now i'm thinking i have to display it in b-mode... ... b-mode w/out armor looks so much better w/ the new neck and head lasers (did anybody ever confirm if the whole head is new???) i hope they re-issue a stand-alone ozma w/ the upgrades... i'm seriously thinking i would want one as a play and abuse vf-25 ... i still think its a shame you can't display that big badass cow skull in fighter mode w/ the SPs or armor on...

nice macross revo poses esp. the soccer ones and the group shot using the flexi stands! made me miss my macross revos

nice! and it can stand on it's own w/ the armor on... posing will pretty much be non-existent but at least it can be displayed in b-mode w/out the stand.

sweet! stand is still unpainted though.

so it seems that we've been buying experimental Yammies for almost a year now valk w/ crappy shoulders hinges, valk w/ non-cracking but looser hinge... valk w/ these markings and that, valk w/out... valk w/ markings tampoed, valk stickered up to match... valk w/ PITA crotch, valk w/ new crotch they could've just asked from the start... poll here would probably have 99% say print everything.

thanks guys... but both you guys definitely take better pics... i posted a 1600x1200 copy of the orig already here for you - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=776857 ...tell me if you need an even bigger copy...

...taking another stab at taking low light pics w/ my brand-spankin' new 30¢ black background (i know... table top is dirty... ) ...i think i'll stick w/ natural light.

just followin' your lead, man, just followin' your lead...

last one... Roy just showing off while hammered. (sorry, lost the sunlight on the background...)

me too! can't effin' figure out why the hell Yamato would do s3x-change on these fixed-pose hands...

well, you're not the only one fooled... the first time i saw his flexi poses even in f-mode, i thought - "how the hell did he do that?!?!"... after looking more closely, i figured out his technique and that's what got me sold on these flexi stands... ingenious really... just pose the valk first in your hands, try to support it using 2 rods only and then find the cog and use the third rod to support it... we should really get some kind of royalty for advertising these stands...

there are some poses w/c surprisingly can be balanced using only 2 rods... looks to me though that a majority of ruskii's flexi poses actually use all 3 rods just like his last one w/ his tv max, but it looks like he's only using 2 coz he strategically uses one of the rods as a counter to one of the other rods to balance the weight of the valk where it would usually fall if not supported.

ruskii inspired balancing act...

review of the latest YF-19 Isamu re-issue. - http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=760577

afaik the coating is on the inside of the canopy...

thanks guys! ... the thing about the 2 valks on 1 flexi pose is that it looks 100x better in person... seeing it from one angle via pics just doesn't do it enough justice. i actually felt bad when i had to remove the valks from the stand to put them away... when i get the upcoming v.2 M&M 1Js, i will definitely display them in a similar fashion w/ hands clasped.
