MacrossMan Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I will undoubtedly be copying these two poses! Sweet, sweet, sweet!!!
Javabean Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 ff95gj Are the shoulder pins now different & smaller in diameter?
UN Spacy Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 So? How're the shoulders? How're the shoulders? The shoulders? Shoulders?
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 So? How're the shoulders? How're the shoulders? The shoulders? Shoulders? ^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ~This dude FTW !! !
ff95gj Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Hmm... Being one who never has the shoulder problem (touch wood), I haven't paid attention to it last night. Will check tonite.
Graham Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Max VF-1S has a black heat shield......WTF!!!!! It should be blue damn it! Sorry, I refuse to accept that black is anything but an animation error. Gonna have to pick up a second DYRL Max 1A when they come out, so I can I can snag the blue heatshield for the 1S. Oh well, planning to keep ithe Max 1S in fighter mode mostly anyway. Graham

Graham Frankly, I prefer Max 1S' heatshield to remain blue too. Oh well. I have my swapped-head (and wing) 1/48 Max VF-1S having a blue one, so I am fine with the variety. For comparison purpose, here is a pic for the 1/48 1S and TV 1A:
chowyunskinny Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Just got my shipping notice from Overdrive for the Max 1S and Max TV 1A at least that's what I think the notices were for, I still can't log into my account on their website

Graham If you're getting a DYRL 1A, which is all but identical to the 1S, why even bother getting the 1S unless you were going to have it in battroid mode?

I plan to display the DYRL Max 1A in battroid mode with FAST Packs like in the opening battle in DYRL. Be cool to pose with a 1/60 Regult if Yamato ever makes one. For the DYRL Max 1S, I want to display it in fighter mode on a flexi stand with 4 x UMM-7 micro-missile pods on the wings, so I can imagining it flying over the sea on Earth, like in the scene where Kakizaki gets wasted. Graham
Black Valkyrie Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 so I can imagining it flying over the sea on Earth, like in the scene where Kakizaki gets wasted. Graham While reading your reply, that theme is playing in my head now.
eugimon Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 sweet, overdrive just sent me an email confirming adding the tv 1a to my existing order. I really like these guys.
mr.chogokin Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I'm planning to order a spare blue heatshield for my Max 1S as soon as the dyrl 1a comes out.
Graham Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Got mine at home now. One of each, store bought, not samples. Graham
Dangard Ace Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I THINK Overdrive is shipping the Max's. I got my email confirmation today....but I can't get onto their website to verify it's that order (I've got a bunch on order with them). Site is S-L-O-W.
Arthurius Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Is it me, or is the head on the max tv much nicer on the 1/48 than on the 1/60??? Guess it is harder for 1a head in 1/60th, cause the 1s looks perfect.
eriku Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Is it me, or is the head on the max tv much nicer on the 1/48 than on the 1/60??? Guess it is harder for 1a head in 1/60th, cause the 1s looks perfect. I was kinda thinking that the 1/48 head looked better, too. I still like the 1/60 head though.
eriku Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Anything on the Shoulders yet? Inquiring minds would like to know.
ff95gj Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I just checked... But by mere observation, I don't notice any significant difference between the new 1S/1A with the Focker 1S. We are talking about the shoulder pin of the flipping part, right?
eriku Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I just checked... But by mere observation, I don't notice any significant difference between the new 1S/1A with the Focker 1S. We are talking about the shoulder pin of the flipping part, right? Yes, that's the part. Thanks for checking! The newer pins are supposed to be a smaller diameter. I wonder though if the difference would be enough to see with the naked eye. The pins are so small to begin with that it might be really hard to tell.
Agent-GHQ Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Yes, the shoulder pin of the flipping part that disturbs us MW 1/60 lovers!
ff95gj Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I have to amend my claim: Previous me bad, I was only looking at them one by one. And it didn't look different to me. Then I was trying to shoot a comparsion of the shoulders for your guys, so I put them (Focker and Max 1S) side by side. Then I think there is a quite obvious difference of white parts in the diameter if you look at it from the top! Excuse me for my clumsy English; in short, the pin seems to be smaller! Edit: I'd better leave it to your own decision. Pic uploaded. Edited April 22, 2009 by ff95gj
Foblander Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 some quick pic any more pics of vf-1a tv version?
eriku Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 God I love the brightness of that white and that shade of blue on the TV 1A. Mine can't come fast enough! As for the shoulder pins, I think it's the metal pins themselves that are supposed to be different, and they aren't really visible in those pics.
miriya Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Edit: I'd better leave it to your own decision. Pic uploaded. Thanks for the comparison shot. Definitely looks thicker. And SWOOSH!!! Great photos as always. Havent seen enough of you and your shots lately. It is good to see your stuff again.
eriku Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Did Yamato say there were making that part thicker? I don't remember anything about that, just the pin diameter.
Foblander Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I'm thinking as a result of making pin smaller, they'd have to make the plastic piece thicker so it doesn't have room to move around.
