myk Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Seriously. Screw the increased price, we're definitely getting a deal out of this bird... Quote
Hikuro Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I would like to see rear profile of the VF-0 in fighter. I want to see how the hands are placed while in fighter. They almost look like they push in, but if that was true how do you get them out? Weren't there pictures of the VF-0 where the hands were visible in fighter mode, they don't tuck inside the arms or anything? Quote
Shmitty Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I have to make a decision, weather to buy this or more RAM. Damn, it's amazing. Quote
Golden Arms Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Damnit I should've preordered more than one. Fracking gorgeous. I agree that the stickers once again leave alot to be desired. Is there any locking mechanism that will hold the back pack in place once it is transformed into a gerwalk? Aren't the leg fast packs held in place by magnets? I'm to lazy to search for it.

aaajin Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) just wanna add some pics to the forum hope this'll amaze those who missed BV's post : PS: dont worry, Im just linking the pic to my photobucket's account I really like the pilot's sculpt...more attention to details with an extra vest Edited February 8, 2006 by aaajin Quote
Toonz Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 WHAAHHH!!!!!!!! I almost wet my pants! i think the gunpod is almost touching the ground, hope they'll get to refine that. ok i just hope that there are no crook skulls on the tail fins when this baby comes out. and i'm talking about 4 skulls here as we all can see. I also want to see more markings printed on instead of....stickers.... and i also will hope that the actual gerwalk will bend at the angle that this shown on the pic. hmm i need more shelves....

Graham Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 Looks to have a removable nosecone to allow for for one with an antennae, and one without. 367840[/snapback] No, as already mentioned a few pages back, the pitot tube is a detachable part. Graham Quote
myk Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Think I would've prefered a flexible pitot tube made out of rubber or something, although that might have lent to a "crooked" appearance or a part still succeptable to breakage... Quote
Graham Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 Not sure what the pitot tube is made of, but I'm guessing either PVC or POM. ABS or diecast would be too likely to break. From my understanding, the pitot tube is detachable, but it can also be left on the Valk and rotated 180º so that it is facing backwards under the nose. This way it can be kept on in Battroid mode, although there may be some interference with the T-Bar. Graham Quote
eming Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 OMFG!!!.... That's fricking awesome!!!... Quote
recon Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 What i see...no seams along the nose area..again i maybe wrong. color wise would be prefer a greyish white instead of the off white. Oh well, guess have to live with it. Quote
Sdf-1 Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 OMFG!!!....That's fricking awesome!!!... 367905[/snapback] Yeah! In fact it's the first one that gives me that feeling besides the good old stuff. Though I don't know anything about Macross zero. Yet, at least. I'm quite sceptical when it comes to new Macross series... Quote
dr_vandermeer Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Wow. It's going to be hard to resiste getting only one of these! Quote
eming Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I was just wondering about the pilots. Shouldn't the 1/60 VF-0S pilot be smaller in scale in-line with the rest of the 1/60 VF-1 series. Just a observation... Quote
Graham Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 Aren't the leg fast packs held in place by magnets? I'm to lazy to search for it. 367865[/snapback] Yes they are. Graham Quote
M'Kyuun Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Yamato owns me, or my paycheck rather. Hoping the drool doesn't short out my laptop as I write this. Does anyone know if anyone's still taking preorders...I missed the HLJ boat. Quote
Graham Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 I'm trying to find out what material the nose pitot tube is made of. Will post an answer when and if I get a reply. Graham Quote
OverTechJunkie Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I am sold after seeing those pics. Quote
aaajin Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I just hope that they dont "amputate" the pilot's legs just like in the other 1/60 line pilots....well, they're at the same scale arent they? Quote

They're probably going "what the fokker?" why are we getting so many preorders all of a sudden?!?! hahaha Damn, that's one purrrdy fokker. Edited February 8, 2006 by dafunguy Quote
Anubis Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 That is awesome. They're doing a really great effort with this. Quote

Weren't there pictures of the VF-0 where the hands were visible in fighter mode, they don't tuck inside the arms or anything? 367854[/snapback] I think the hands push in slightly, and tuck under the backpack boosters making them almost invisible. I think the hands are fixed pose as well cause the battroid pictures show the pinky finger seperated from the rest of the fingers on the left hand. But then again its probably something like MG kinda hands. Quote

Graham 367896[/snapback] Sorry but I didn't get what a pitot tube was. Quote
eugimon Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) the pitot tube is the little tube that sticks out from the nose of the VF-0 in fighter and gerwalk mode. I'm not worried about the pilot... the thing is the size of a 1/48 so I'm sure they won't have any problems making space for his legs. I can see now how the vf-0 in the akihabara pictures has the shoulders transformed wrong... no posing problems here. and oh my fraking god am I happy I pre-ordered this thing... so sweet. Edited February 8, 2006 by eugimon Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Pitot tube: An instrument for measuring the relative speed of a fluid. Let's remember that air is a fluid that is less dense than water. In aviation is that protuberant, antena looking tube in located in an undisturbed, unobstructed area of every aircraft. Regarding the VF-0S this tube is located in underneath its nose, and it is removable to avoid its breakage. Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Wow eugimon you are fast. I pre-oredered and paid for two of these... Shall I get another? I like everything about this design, and all the little details! I can't believe the little pilot is so detailed! OMG, Shall I get a third.... I should wait for the LV and the stealth... Self control is horrible when it is about Macross... Quote
GobotFool Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Looks great so far, how many variants are there of the VF-0S? And do you guys think hoping for a set of reactive armor is asking to much? Edited February 8, 2006 by GobotFool Quote
ghostryder Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 GAWD, looks like the only gimmick this thing doesn't have over the 1/48 is the ability to angle the feet. How frackin' sweet does that thing look in those pics. I still like the 1/48 VF-1 better in fighter mode, but that VF-0 battroid is making my wallet cry... Quote
DARKWIND Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I wish they made the pilot articulated. . . (j/k) Quote
ghostryder Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 So.... uhhh....is BBTS the only place still taking preorders? Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 No way, it does look like you can't angle the feet! I knew this couldn't be perfect. I just hope the "forgot" to angle the feet for the photo shoot... Quote
vlenhoff Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) So.... uhhh....is BBTS the only place still taking preorders? 368012[/snapback] So far, yes, it seems like. I don't know why Toy-wave is not taking pre-orders for this item. Edit in: Oooooops, yes they were. But it seems like they are sold out now. I'll PM Ken to see if he'll take more orders.
