anime52k8 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Why must you ruin my dreams? Why!?! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
edwin3060 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I like the VF-27, it's purple and has 4 engines. let me say that again: 4 engines! anyways, any logic as to what's next kind of gets thrown off by the fact that the Quarter is the next new design after the VF-25's. Yea but the Quarter is not a VF so it doesnt count!
anime52k8 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Yea but the Quarter is not a VF so it doesnt count! well the Q-Rea isn't a VF either, so it doesn't count too. *crushes dreams even harder*
Guest sh002 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 i would get a 1/60 vf-27 and vf-171. i would also get 1/72 versions if released.
shinjizh Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I did a experiment. I tried to extend VF-25F neck by using copper beam in the original ball joint. I recommended using copper beam that dimension smaller than 0.02mm (0.06") because I broke my original ball joint Now I replace spare part ordering from hlj..... T_T
Guest sh002 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 you can see how the sound boosters attach to the wings for the vf-25g
edwin3060 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Now we know... Oh well, its actually not too bad. Front mounted clips make more sense than back mounted anyway.
Vostok 7 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Also, that's the first time I've seen the VF-25G with the gunpod attached in Fighter mode. Vostok 7
anime52k8 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Heh, front mounted overwing clips. so now we know. it's ugly and yet somehow not out of place at all. and we also know that the VF-25G CANNOT sit on it's landing gears with the gunpod attached. good thing it comes with a stand.
badboy00z Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 So any word on the rumored new DX at the show?
rikiryou Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Sooooo.... I was playing with this in Battroid mode, and pushing the leg apart for a V pose when suddenly.... *SNAP*. I didn't force it either - note that the joint was also quite loose, too. Better not fling the toy by its legs, yo.
Black Valkyrie Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Oh ! What the ? Whats wrong with Bandai too, are they using low QC metals ?
rikiryou Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Hmmm, may be. Perhaps it's just not that solid/dense. Or maybe I just handled it the wrong way. Or maybe it's both! I'm quite annoyed as I've already put money down for the Super Parts. *grumble* Of course, if it's possible to just get the hip joints parts, that'll solve the problem... until it breaks again, lol.
edwin3060 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) "and NEXT" = full armour. original post Uh.. that full armour picture was for the VF100s line? Is it coming out for DX as well? i hope its not an exclusive. badboy00z: I think the 'new' DX was just the MacQuarter (that sounds so much like a MacDonald's Quarter Pounder!) anime52k8: the front mounted clips may be awkward, but they are still better than back mounted clips since they could (conceivably) be aerodynamic fairings (not anime accurate of course, but this is the DX we are talking about!) The front wing clips for the missiles and all in the RVF-25 exclusive look very awkward though Vostok 7 : Yea, but sucks that it can't be mounted with the landing gear down in fighter mode--- I guess that spells doom for the VF-27 as well then---while the beam grenade launcher may well split down the middle, the landing gear may not be long enough. rikiryou: OMG O_O that really sucks. are you able to get a replacement toy? Seems to be an isolated case so far though. I hope the full armour comes with 4 reaction missiles. Edited February 22, 2009 by edwin3060
shinjizh Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 It's armour pack If someone looks at small plate, it writes xx armour xx ( Ozma Lee custom) Hope it is set not armour pack only.
chowyunskinny Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Uh.. that full armour picture was for the VF100s line? Is it coming out for DX as well? i hope its not an exclusive. It says DX twice on that sign you can see it better in this pic, plus that sign is on the same shelf as the 1/60 DX's already out and the 1/100's are on the shelf above
MasterOfPuppets Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Sooooo.... I was playing with this in Battroid mode, and pushing the leg apart for a V pose when suddenly.... *SNAP*. I didn't force it either - note that the joint was also quite loose, too. Better not fling the toy by its legs, yo. If it's any consolation... your panel lining looks pretty slick. Very subtle, not too pronounced. What's your technique?

rikiryou Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 MasterOfPuppets: I used alcohol-based markers (Pantone Tria) - some parts I tried with black (the underneath of the backpack/wings) and others with a slightly dark gray. They're pretty thick when applied (especially the black), so I thin them down with the blender markers. Copic markers are probably a good alternative as they're cheaper but give more or less the same results. I definitely prefer using this method to Gundam markers - even if it's a bit more work with using the blender marker.
Graham Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 So any word on the rumored new DX at the show? Looks like it's the Ex-Gear.
Graham Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Sooooo.... I was playing with this in Battroid mode, and pushing the leg apart for a V pose when suddenly.... *SNAP*. I didn't force it either - note that the joint was also quite loose, too. Better not fling the toy by its legs, yo. Macross toys are cursed, cursed I tell you!
Cent Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Sooooo.... I was playing with this in Battroid mode, and pushing the leg apart for a V pose when suddenly.... *SNAP*. I didn't force it either - note that the joint was also quite loose, too. Better not fling the toy by its legs, yo. Wow damn. That looks like the connecting bar snapped, rather than having the plastic sockets crack or anything. Impossible to repair without replacing something like that. How does something like that even happen without the use of pliers and saws, I don't know.
rikiryou Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I was thinking of soldering the thing somehow, hmmm. Is that even possible? Oh well, maybe this will be the Fighter mode display since the lock on the wing/backpack is secure enough to hold it together.
Cent Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Solder won't hold that. You'd need to weld it, but I doubt there's enough room to allow you to do something like that, especially without damaging the plastics.
Negotiator Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Maybe the strongest epoxy you can find if you can get the rest of the joint Out of the cock piece. Now is that little picture confirming dx armor packs?
Graham Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Sooooo.... I was playing with this in Battroid mode, and pushing the leg apart for a V pose when suddenly.... *SNAP*. I didn't force it either - note that the joint was also quite loose, too. Better not fling the toy by its legs, yo. If you bought it from HLJ, contact them about getting a replacement toy or replacement part at least. Or you could try asking Overdrive. They are very good about getting Yamato parts, so perhaps they would be willing to contact Bandai and ask for spare parts. Given that the DX was touted as being very durable and rugged, this is worrying. Hopefully, it's just a one-off case. Graham
badboy00z Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Looks like it's the Ex-Gear. I wonder if it'll be as big as the 1/4.
Cent Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I doubt a severe breakage like that could ever be widespread. Countless other parts of the toy would/should have broken before that hip bar snapped.
edwin3060 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Just goes to show you shouldn't be spreading your legs carelessly
505thAirborne Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 For the price of these toys, things like legs breaking or screws popping out shouldn't he happening at all, unless you drop it concrete or something. Otherwise...... But again maybe for the DX VF-25 that was an isolated incident.
