Lolicon Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 More fun with Fiskars! Also, my single favorite VF toy ever. Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Love it, Lolicon. By the way, I think you forgot to pushed back more the intake section under the chest area. Quote

Imagine if Bandai decides to make a 1/48 scale for it. Quote

kkx Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Saw @Lolicon's photo above (also thanks to @jenius advise on anymoon.com, I go for the correct version), and my resolve to not getting into the macross zero line was weakened to the point that I now have this: Quote

Need a bit of panel lining to make it pop. Lolicon's version is just insane, will never match that, but will live to try to make my copy looks less plain. Is yours as yellow as mine? Wonder if it is just the white balance of the camera. Will need to compare this to my other valk in daylight tomorrow. Quote

Will need to compare this to my other valk in daylight tomorrow. Yours is the Yamato version, which used a more beige color; Arcadia used white for the VF-0S. Yours looks to be in great condition too! The Yamato 0S was one of my earliest valks and is still a pretty good toy even with the improvements to valk toys over the years; I still have mine! The only major problem with Yamato's is the plastic in the upper arms had a tendency to, er, disintegrate randomly. Quote
kkx Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Yours is definitely whiter than mine. But your DX is also slightly whiter than my DX (but less than the VF-0S). Can't be sure with my indoor lighting. Will double check tomorrow in day light. Quote

That explained it. It is a beige color. The condition is decent. Hopefully, some panel lining will improve the looks a bit. Quote

In the process of dusting off the shelves, so taking a few pics while I have some of my valks off their Yetis. Quote

sh9000 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 All of the HMR releases so far looking good next to each other. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Some more playing around with photos and the VF-25F. Edited June 25, 2019 by Lolicon More stuff. Quote
kkx Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I am not buying a VF-25! I am not buying a VF-25! I am not buying a VF-25! (i have to keep repeating this to myself) They look really nice. Quote

sumyumgoy Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I hope they redo the VF-25 in the future...I only have a YF-25. I'm watching Frontier for the first time right now and wishing I had those VF-25's. Great stuff @Lolicon! Quote

(i have to keep repeating this to myself) They look really nice. The renewals were a significant improvement over, well, all the Macross toys Bandai had ever produced up to that point, though this might be more an indictment of Bandai's near Toynami-levels of piss poor past products. (The still great Yamato 1/60 VF-1 came out the same year as Bandai's first VF-25 toys and wow that just made Bandai's efforts look even worse.) The renewal VF-25 is now kinda dated and isn't as good as the VF-31, but it's still a good toy and the best version of it... for now. 14 hours ago, sumyumgoy said: I hope they redo the VF-25 in the future...I only have a YF-25.

Frontier is probably the best Macross show to come out since the original series and I remain ever hopeful that Bandai will revisit the VF-25 and give us a new, improved version with all the progress made over the years.

Bolt Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Maybe Bandai will one day release a Frontier anniversary VF-25.. Quote
Lolicon Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Seeing my old VE-1 pics I thought I'd compare them with current pics. I didn't even have the Fiskars mat back in the distant past of several weeks ago. Quote
