Letigre Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) I wish they would show pictures of thing pianted already (hell we've already seen some of the 1/72 for crisssakes), the suspense is killing me, considering its supposed to be released next month (barring delays.)

promethuem5 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I think if you don't try and get the Messiah DX in a nose-in-the-dirt standing Gerwalk mode it looks alot better overall... I think the Messiah's Gerwalk mode looks much better 'in motion' anyway... overall I'm way happy with my Messiah and can't leave it alone:

Priss! Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Damn! Looks like you butchered a Yammie for this??! Something like that... I used the hands from the broken VF-0s =)
eugimon Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Something like that... I used the hands from the broken VF-0s =) nice. finally, something to do with all those "spare" hands.
UN Spacy Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 My reissue VF-25F is starting to lose quite a bit of paint. Especially behind the head in fighter mode.
biglizard76 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Sorry for a trivial question... What're oracle stickers? I did try to google... but didn't see anything that seems to be relevant. Your works are amazing! Thanks, Oracle is a brand name.... Those are Vinyl stickers I am using. I cannot find the orcale website however I came across another brand. http://www.alibaba.com/product/teckseng-10...r_Stickers.html You should be able to get it from art & crafts shops. Regards
whitestar Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 My reissue VF-25F is starting to lose quite a bit of paint. Especially behind the head in fighter mode. Great. My reissued Alto just came and I was hoping it wasn't going to suffer from paint rubbing off. Bought the super pack too. This one might just sit on the shelf to be admired from afar.
Zeta Otaku Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Great. My reissued Alto just came and I was hoping it wasn't going to suffer from paint rubbing off. Bought the super pack too. This one might just sit on the shelf to be admired from afar. Probably a stupid question, but how are the head lasers on the re-issue? (ok... can it REALLY be a re-issue if the original came out like a year ago? wouldn't this be considered a revision? maybe? no? ok, I'll shut up about it ) I love the Alto scheme, but I'm avoiding it and the Ozma versions due to the Dr. Suess head lasers and getting a Micheal/Mikhail/Max clone version instead (besides, I love the VF-25G design and weapon anyway... but having a non-snipe version would be cool too).

The VF-25G comes with a gunpod aside from the sniper rifle. Don't know if that would fill the need of having a non-sniper version. XD

Others have reported that the head lasers angle out on the re-issue, but mine does not seem to. But they don't angle in, either. They're relatively straight (if not, it's a way easy fix with a hair dryer or hot water). I don't know if that answered your question...
UN Spacy Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 The head lasers haven't changed. Warning. Don't bend them too much to get that outward look. They could tear at the seams.

XD Nice! yes, that just made me happy had NO idea it came with a standard gunpod. Now I can save some cash for one of the impending Armored Messiahs.

todd77 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 The head lasers haven't changed. Warning. Don't bend them too much to get that outward look. They could tear at the seams. Yeah, my reissued 25F's head lasers won't angle out either.
Macross World Daddy Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Can someone / anyone help to hook me up with Alto's Super Parts? New or used is not problem. Thanks! Image Anmie has them in stock right now: http://www.imageanime.com/mafr.html
Macross World Daddy Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I buy Saint Seiya figures from Angolz almost every month. No problem, unless they take a long time to reply to emails I recomend you AirParcel for shipping Thanks Alfye!! Btw, Image Anime just got some VF-25S toys in stock today!!!!
whitestar Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Any QC issue reported for the Alto Super Parts yet? Like the dreaded paint rub-off? Someone reported that the fit is a skosh tighter, but I'm wondering if the tampo printing is more durable than what we've seen so far?
GGemini Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Can anyone confirm if the reissue has an updated neck joint?
bb_f1 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Can anyone confirm if the reissue has an updated neck joint? Nope, still the same as version 1
edwin3060 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 If anyone scans in the design of the base for the yellow stickers, could they post it in this thread? I'm sure quite a few people will be interested. Thanks again for the sticker tips, Biglizard GGemini I think the neck joint update is for the VF-25S, and will be released with the Armour pack version. The VF-25F looks fine with the present neck, IMO. UNSpacy Sorry to hear about the paint loss problem with the re-issues-- are the wings really straighter with this version as compared to the 1st edition?
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) I think the issue with the bent/warped wings are not because of the manufacturing line, but from packing it incorrectly in the Styrofoam tray (with the way the plastic bag is wrapped around the plane). Upon opening... I noticed that all of my VF-25's had the plastic bag section between the tip of the wings and the feet of the plane lifted up by the Styrofoam tab on tail section the tray. This would definitely cause a warp in the wings because the rest of the plane is heavy enough or is forced down by the workers further into the tray while the wings stay afloat. ***EDIT*** The wings are straighter on my re-issue VF-25F compared to my VF-25G.

biggooftoybox Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Is there any more news after the armoured VF-25S?
Graham Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Is there any more news after the armoured VF-25S? Not so far. Maybe there will be some news from the hobby show this weekend. Graham
CF18 Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 About VF-25S armored: Release day pushed to August: http://www.tamashii.jp/item/200908.php New blog post about preparing their show display: http://www.tamashii.jp/staff_diary/diary.p...98&level=01 I think I see a slightly longer neck and straighten head guns.
ff95gj Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Darn! I expected as much when I saw the preorder for the 25F delayed. There must have been some technical difficulties. My MF Skull team would not be complete before September it seems...
SuperHobo Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Nice to see Bandai made some good improvements on the 25S. Is that Pegas and Tekkaman I see in the background? So much stuff so little money.

Yep, definitely a longer neck and straighter head lasers there. The head lasers appear to be unpainted (they loock blue to me), I guess this is just to emphasise that a deifferent material is being used. All good. Just hope they improve the crotch lock as well. Graham
SuperHobo Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Something I hope the DX armored has is the hip armor staying locked in place better.
Graham Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Heh, I laughed when I saw the tube of super glue in the picture. Common with prototypes though. Graham
honkhet Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 man, i hope the crotch lock is fixed, cos the full armor is gonna be even heavier than the super pack
