or it *could've been* !

issues plagueing the Ivanov first release made buyers to hold off from buying the toy. IIRC, frosty canopy (mine too), wrong wing joints (not on mine)...

the worse part is, in my case (and some others too) the upper hips are cracked (bought it cheap, so buyer's remorse wasnt in full throttle). The upper hips are comprised of 3 different sections, lowest on my left cracked & middle of my right cracked. From what I saw, the plastics are too thin and brittle on these parts, and the gerwalk-joint locking mechanism that pushes against the inner wall furhter stresses the plastic walls. It is almost certain that the walls will crack if mishandled (note : previous owner).

Luckily I did similar fix on a VF-22 Gamlin, so nothing drabs of ABS plastic cement cant fix! Seems to be holding up pretty well, but almost 4-5 hours out the window to do the fixing...jeeze.

*end of rant*

Do you mean it's ability to stand freely without flopping downward in battriodmode, I have that problem too. It's like Yamato did not test the inner parts to make sure they held the metal bar in place to make sure it stays in place. I was thinking of applying pieces of black tape to reeinforce the parts on mine.

Yeah, theyre pretty loose too. but what I meant is the cross sectional wall thickness is pretty thin and cracks easily.

I guess what Arcadia could improve if they ever decided to rework the SV-51 prolly are the thighs areas. make em shorter in battroid (like the sliding mechanism on the 19) and thicker plastics

Yep, but its a timeless beauty just like the VF-1. :) I'll take new photos soon. Not sure if I have the guts to transform it though. :unsure:

I love the DOF shots.

So do I, they can really bring out the subject.

Do it, it needs to be swoooshed around at least once. :D

it is almost impossible not to touch one VF and not swoosh it around. I always does when I re-arrange something from the display. :lol:

I'm hoping that Arcadia will re-issue this one day in Hikaru's Skull Squadron color scheme from Macross Flashback...I can dream right?

Congratulations Saburo for getting one!

I agree, that's why it has taken me so longer than expected to setup my display cases. The swooshing time was not accounted for. :lol:

I hope they release that one too! Let's hope they do it.

Thanks!

Same here.

Nice setup Saburo. I really like the double-decker configuration on the YetiStands. That is how I have a few of mine.

I have the tornado pack for the 25G and haven't put it on the valk yet. Just been contemplating it for literally, months now. Your pics make me think I should "do the right thing" now. Sooooo pretty....

I have this urge to buy two VF-25's with Fast packs & Tornado packs & stands all of a sudden...

*Emperor Palpatine voice* Yes... yes...

Thank you, this configuration works well within the space of a Detolf. ;)

You should, they look awesome!

Since Michael had a photo session, Klan got some shots taken too. :D

Nice getting the VF-4 and Quedulunn Rare Saburo. I finally finished my edits with my YF-19 at last, but with flickr's security certificate expired my computer's browser is not letting me upload any pics. Bummer why did they go for a one month certificate, did you have any problems on your end.

Nice shots, Saburo, as usual :)

Dang, that reminds me that I have my 25g tornado packs to do... grr... That's been sitting on the backburner forever.

I also forgot about my Q-Rhea still sitting in the HLJ warehouse waiting for something to be shipped along with it.

Look like two standard length, one dual arm, and an elbow.

Which can all be found here.

I really hope Bandai reissues the VF-25G next. Great photos Saburo!

Thank you! Every other hero VF-25 got reissued lets hope for the G next.

I haven't noticed anything, my last upload were these pictures and that was on the 11th.

Thank you, time to get started on the 25G Tornado packs, can't wait to see your work on those.

Very very nice. I may have to 'borrow' that setup. Are those both XL arms on the dual?

Hehe, no they are regular arms, dual arm and elbow. I had initially used the XL arm for the lower arm, but with the wing span of the tornado parts that configuration won't fit into a Detolf.

Yep, Yeti got it. :)
