jc07 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 apparently you can use the 2nd part of the neck extension of the ozma on alto, now with longer neck
fatty_tang Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 apparently you can use the 2nd part of the neck extension of the ozma on alto, now with longer neck looks a bit too long without the super parts on.
jc07 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 looks a bit too long without the super parts on. looks just right with super parts on
Graham Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Not sure if it's been posted already or not, but here are the new VF-27DX test shot photos from the latest Dengeki Hobby magazine. Note the gunpod attached in fighter mode, the (correct) long front landing gear and what appears to be moveable nozzels on the outboard engine nacelles. Can't wait to get this, but definitely looking forward more to a green mass production unit, rather than Brera's purple version. Graham
Javabean Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Nice! Love the long landing gears at last....shud hv done it for the VF-25 too!
Chronocidal Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) Better yet, the rear landing gear don't look like complete crap! More than that though, the actual physical detail looks about an order of magnitude sharper and more refined than on the VF-25. The details on the VF-25 always looked.. blurry to me. The contrast looks almost like the difference btween the v.1 1/60 and the v.2, it just looks.. sharp. Now, they need to take the lessons learned, and re-apply them to the VF-25. I might even consider buying one then, but it'll take a lot of improvements to make me prefer the DX over the kits. Edited November 27, 2009 by Chronocidal
regult Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 thanks for the scans, nope, I don't think anybody posted that page before, but the same sample was on display and photographed. I finally get to see the main gears under the wings, and they look good!

I wouldn't be surprised if Bandai kicks a DX VF-25 1.5 with longer gear like the 27 as well as the thigh swivels next year.
thankheaven Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) Wow they fixed the landing gear and you can mount that huge rifle in fightermode now with the gear down. And they got gerwalk right too. Now redo the 25 with the new fixes from this one Bandai! Edited November 27, 2009 by thankheaven
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Thanks for the scans!!!! I'm really looking foward to get the DX VF-27. It's looking great, everything fits together much better than the VF-25. Will be my first DX
regult Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 it's actually quite ironic that fate put the VF-27 and VF-25, gerwalk mode, on the same page so you can clearly compare how the 25 is pushing the limits by trying to strike a good pose, and the 27 is just looking right. Hope the toy is not just looks but also clicky and well-constructed.

Can't wait to get this, but definitely looking forward more to a green mass production unit, rather than Brera's purple version. Graham I've pre-orded this already. It looks a lot better. And when you can attach the rifle with the landing gears down it, is just adds to it. Hopefully Bandai doesnt use that shiny plastic. Something like this but not too matte colored And that VF-25 Tornado Pack looks pretty decent. Can we get the VF-171EX Super Nightmare Plus, that sounds so cool. Even better if it was a toy Edited November 27, 2009 by Hikaru VF-1S

shadow strikers Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 You must have some good eyes. I still can't see what you're talking about XD I see it, but what's the big deal paint it over.
Alex Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Yep. I broke the wing off of my Michel 1/60. Broke off right at the hinge. Also, broke the "BP8" on one of my Roy 1/60s. Seriously!!!!!!!! I'm like the Death of Valks. I must exude some corrosive substance from my finger tips.

macrossnake Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 amiami blog: 2nd interview with Bandai Collection: Great find. thx
macrossnake Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Is it out already? DX VF-27, February 25, 2010 VF HI-METAL VF-19改, January 25, 2010 DX Quarter, December 25, 2009
Ivan Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 The box of the Macross Quarter looks smaller than I expected, or maybe that guy just has big hands. Anyways, I think the Fire Valkyrie looks really nice.
Wicked Ace Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 The 1/72 scale landing gear even look big on the DX. Anyone found any suitable landing gear with which to modify the DX?
General Chaos Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I got my Alto VF-25 Movie version today. It's my first DX and I must say I am more impressed than I thought I would be coming from all Yamatos and 1/72 VF-25's. Loving the size and weight of this thing and the well discussed flaws (features) have not niggled me at all. Also the blue tint to the white paint isn't overly dramatic and the pale super parts aren't nearly as overpowering as the photos here imply. In lower light (who puts their valks in direct sunlight anyway?) the two are not a bad match at all. Anyhow I am happy with my purchase and see a few more DX's in my future.
regult Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 did anybody notice that attachment near the tail? It seems it's meant to hold the fold booster, yet to be seen in any photo released.
anime52k8 Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 did anybody notice that attachment near the tail? It seems it's meant to hold the fold booster, yet to be seen in any photo released. maybe it's like the YF-21 where you get brackets so if you already own the fold booster you can attach it.
promethuem5 Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but is the QC on the FAST Packs of the movie ver. DX better than the TV versions? I never got an armored 25 bc/ everyone said the armor always fell off, but is the fit better on the new movie versions?
valhary Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 i wonder if is the right scale in comparison with the vf 25
Hikaru VF-1S Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 i wonder if is the right scale in comparison with the vf 25 It's difficult to tell from that picture. But in fighter mode it is slightly longer than the VF-25, its length is 18.8m compare to the VF-25's to the 18.72m. And slightly shorter in battroid to the VF-25's. If it's at least in decent scale to the DX VF-25, the difference should be minute.

The thigh/hip/intake armor on the Super Messiahs was always prone to falling off on previous releases.
GRAND CANNON Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 More pics peoples: http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/ TORNADO LUCIFER
Wicked Ace Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) I'm still not sure what I think about the Tornado Pack (if this is the official name). It sort of has the same feel to me as this: Of course, it's different in the fact the VF-25 is actually a fighter (plane) and the Gundam has fighter plane stuff stuck on. Edited December 1, 2009 by Wicked Ace
Hikaru VF-1S Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Just additional information on th VF-25F Tornado Pack "Finally, some definite release info of DX Chogokin 1/60 VF-25F Tornado Messiah Valkyrie Alto's Unit from Tamashii Nation: Three mode transformation: - Fighter Mode - Gerwalk Mode: booster can be turned - Battroid Mode: main cannon can move up and down, left and right, vernier can move.

March release, 17,850 Yen (inclusive of tax)." Ngee Khiong
Wicked Ace Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Content: VF-25F Messiah Valkyrie, Hopefully there will be a cheaper version offered without this part.
promethuem5 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 So, the Lucifer is looking really, REALLY good! Wow.
Letigre Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) The Tornado Pack honestly looks like a throwback to the SAP packs of the not-quite-canon Macross II. maybe it's like the YF-21 where you get brackets so if you already own the fold booster you can attach it. I can smell it now..the web-exclusive "Fold Edition" with the Ain Vajra figure. Edited December 1, 2009 by Letigre
