do not disturb Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) I'm glad I don't buy DYRL paint schemes... Yamato is sucking me dry as it is! For the rest of you, you have my sympathies! haha, wise words from a wise man. thanks for the pics, but if you've seen one DYRL valk, you've seen them all. oh and regarding the head laser, just take the thing off and paint it correctly or hook it up with fulcy's hollowed out head laser, it adds a little flavor to a 1A valk.

kensei Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Pimps it out, like fully. It's like adding a subwoofer to your entertainment system. Quote
mister_e Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Has Kakizaki been released yet? Some online retailers are listing it as in stock now. So, anyone got theirs yet? Quote
1 VF-1 2NV Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Anyone know if kaki has been releases? Quote
penachoy Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 looks like hobbysearch has it out [attachmentid=36953] Quote
LePoseur Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Yup they are out, just got mine today. unfortunately the right leg on mine has a bit of plastic deformity right around the landing gear flap. Not bad enought to exchange it, but just enough to not have that mint out of the box feeling. Don't worry though, I'd bet I'm the only one. As for the skulls, I can't really tell if they are crooked or not, as I've had ones like Max where everyone says it's crooked but I thought mine looked fine, this time however, I did feel like there was something different about them. Ha, watch eveyone get him and say they are finally straight again! maybe I just have crooked eyes. Anyhow, beyond that, not much to report. Standard 1A, nothing extra beyond the normal, green is good, box art looks good, like the Angel Birds and 0S did. That is all I guess... Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Thanks for the good news folks. Anyone else looking foward to finally completing their DYRL Skull Squadron? Quote
kensei Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 (edited) Amen to that bro. Just looking to complete the Vermillion squadron now, and also DYRL?'s Skull-1 Hoary Trinity. Edited September 30, 2006 by kensei Quote
Vermillion21 Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Would love to get this to complete my DYRL skull squad - unfortunately, I had to choose between this and the Vf-19A ... Quote
chowyunskinny Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Aw man! They (Yamato) messed up. The Hikaru and Max 1A's had a white head laser, but the Kakizaki in the pics has a black/gray head laser. First there was the different box art, now this? Thanks for the pics! Just picked on up over the weekend and for those wondering, it DOES have a black head laser Quote
mister_e Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Just picked on up over the weekend and for those wondering, it DOES have a black head laser That stinks. How can Yamato screw up like that? They've already done the 3 others with white head lasers Quote
lechuck Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Technically it would be the seconde time Yamato has screwed up with the colour of head lasers. The Hikaru VF-1S lasers should of been all white, but they are not... You would of thought these mistakes would not occur at all because the plastic is white anyway. Save the paint and money... Quote

The Hikaru VF-1S lasers should of been all white, but they are not... You would of thought these mistakes would not occur at all because the plastic is white anyway. Save the paint and money... You can probably find just as many on-screen shots of Hikaru's VF-1S with white head lasers as you can with dark gray/black. You'll notice that the shots in which the head lasers appear to be white are generally far away shots, thus the lasers are white probably just so they don't disappear against the very dark backgrounds. I think Yamato got it right on the Hikaru 1S. Of course, there's still some who feel that his VF-1S should have a black heatshield, but that's another debate for another thread White head lasers Dark gray/black head lasers Quote
jenius Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 The second screen shot from the top features a clearly over-exposed Hik VF-1S (as if he is direct line of a giant spot light from the SDF-1). As such, I wouldn't say it really supports a white head-laser argument. Basically, all discussion over what color the head lasers and shields are *supposed* to be aside, Yamato should have at least strived for consistency. We may never know if the head lasers should be white but we didn't need that debate driven home every time we pose the skull squadron toys with each other. Quote
CdnShockwave Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 "you are not alone ...you are really not alone." its a very obscure reference to My Blue Heavan I LOVE that movie. I knew it was from My Blue Heaven the instant I saw it. Quote
Murphy Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 does anyone have the problem of the air brake popping out when you extend it? first time this ever happened on my 1/48 valks and it was on my kakizaki Quote
