jenius Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I was hoping Alex would have some fun with that pic and photo shop himself in for mallets as hands after Eugimon's last post. Alex, that sucks, did a pin fall out or something. The pic is super tiny.

anime52k8 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 IIRC Michael drops his super parts entering Galia's atmosphere (as super parts don't work well in atmosphere). Later Alto gets stranded after the planet blows up and Michael's parts are still out their floating around. I forget how Michael and Ranka got away though... maybe in the belly of a Vajra ship. Michael was going to take Sheryl back to frontier while Alto stayed back to get one last flight in with ranka. then the vajra show up and then the planet explodes, Michael piggybacks on a vajra ship through there fold gate. Alto and ranka made it off the planet before it blew up though and use the super armor+super fold booster to catch up with the vajra.

How's this? http://s966.photobucket.com/albums/ae146/alexcollier/ ouch, the whole hing ripped right off the wing glove part. Edited August 7, 2009 by anime52k8
Alex Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 ouch, the hole hing ripped right off the wing glove part. That's just the thing. it didn't even rip off. There are nos tress marks or tears. It just came off. The surface of the crack is smooth. Could be that there was an imperfection in the plastic, an air bubble or something.
Major Focker Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 i caved. didn't pre-order the fold set because i wanted to hold out for a 1/72 version. but then my daily ebay macross saved search email comes along... got it for $90 shipped which is considerably cheaper than overdrive, but that's still the cost of a vanilla VF-1 in singapore. i don't know whether i should celebrate or not...
VFTF1 Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 http://tamashii.jp/item/item.php?eid=01097&pref=301 release date for armored vf-25s is listed as august 12 I got word that it's out today. But then again, this could be a misunderstanding... Or maybe that means it's literally in the door. In any case, I guess we'll find out real soon. Pete

In any case, I guess we'll find out real soon. Pete I really hope so. But just checked Yahoo JP auction, and no one is selling it as stocks yet. It's been a year, damn it!
valhary Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 hey Graham the missiles can attach on the wings of yamato valkyries like the yf 19 or the vf 22s
ff95gj Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Been told that the Armored 25S is available! The shop I preordered still hasn't had it yet...
Letigre Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I guess it's time for the preorder processing watch to begin. God...I cannot wait!
ff95gj Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 If I haven't preordered it, I could have gone out and grabbed it for a cheaper price. DARN
Ivan Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Yeah, it's out in Hong Kong already. Damn, should have visited Mong Kok instead of visiting the pathetic toy show. Anyways, here are some out of box pics: http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-104768-1-1.html There's a pic showing the neck extension Edited August 8, 2009 by Ivan
Duke Togo Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Yeah, it's out in Hong Kong already. Damn, I went to the pathetic Toy Show today. Should have visited Mong Kok instead.

Ivan Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) If you open the link, there's a pic showing the neck extension. I haven't bought it yet, as I will be traveling for a bit. I am sure Graham or ff95gj will give us a detailed report soon. Edited August 8, 2009 by Ivan

I am sure Graham or ff95gj will give us a detailed report soon. I vaguely recall reading about people complaining the head was too close to body on the original release. I assume this is in response to those complaints?
UN Spacy Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Yeah. That emoticon pretty much sums up my feelings right now. But I must be resilient and wait for MW reviews.
Ivan Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) I vaguely recall reading about people complaining the head was too close to body on the original release. I assume this is in response to those complaints? Yeah, the neck was way too short in the first release. That's why they added an extension in the second version. We were hoping for a re-design, but I guess that's the best Bandai could do in such a short time. Still, need to give them credit for trying. Keep checking the Toys Daily forum. More pics should be available tomorrow. Edited August 8, 2009 by Ivan
DarkReaper Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Damn, HLJ still doesn't have it. Let's see what Monday brings.
Knightdramon Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Do you have to remove the neck extension part every time you transform the figure, or is there a transformation tweak? That's probably the only thing keeping me from getting the set...
Duke Togo Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Do you have to remove the neck extension part every time you transform the figure, or is there a transformation tweak? That's probably the only thing keeping me from getting the set... Looks like its an addition. Instead of producing new toys with the extension, they simply added it to the kit. But, hard to say for sure until someone here actually gets one.
OmegaD3k Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I'm holding off until a detailed video/pic review. To anyone who has one: - How well do the armor pieces hold together? Do they fall off, simply by looking at them, like Luca/Michel Fast/Super packs? - Is the figure a sloppy, or can you pose it with armor? Does it require a stand for any and all poses, like Michel? - Are the head lasers straight/made out of solid plastic? - Any other improvements?
eugimon Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 hopefully HLJ will be shipping next week. This will be my first DX vf-25 so I'm rather anxious about it.
Hikuro Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I now have my second DX, I got a pretty much mint Alto and I do like how he looks. I'm sure with the packs he'd be pretty awesome but they were to spendy for me right now. I'll pick some up next month if I come across them online. Interesting about the new Ozma DX, the new neck piece you gotta pop on yourself I'm guessing.....that kind of sucks.
ff95gj Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I remember seeing on Yahoo JP auction that someone made an extensible neck for sale. Bandai just doesn't care enough.
mitch Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 I was re-watching Frontier the other day and I noticed that when Ranka is about to leave Frontier with Brera and AI-kun that the Fold Booster on Brera's '27 looked kinda pink to me, maybe that was the color scheme they were working from when they went to production?
Graham Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Damn, my usual toy dealer in Tai Po won't have it until Wednesday & I don't have time to travel to Mong Kok, Wanchai or Causeway Bay today to look for it.

Similar case here. I know it's out there but I can do nothing about it. The shop I preordered is ordering from ANOTHER distributor, or so he claimed. So I have to wait. EDIT: Just browsed TD; it seems that it is basically out of stock already, and the price goes up to HK$1380 (it was HK$1150 last night) in a couple of shops which still carry it. It probably won't make a difference these 2 days even if you travel to those locations before the next shipment...? Edited August 9, 2009 by ff95gj
SuperHobo Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Some more pics. Oh look at those nice straight head lasers and neck. http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-104916-1-1.html
m0n5t3r Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Oh look at those nice straight head lasers and neck. nice! and it can stand on it's own w/ the armor on... posing will pretty much be non-existent but at least it can be displayed in b-mode w/out the stand.
Twoducks Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Is that a new head or not? The last pics looks a bit wide like the old one.
