MKT Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Warmed up a bit more to the 30th Anniversary VF-1J. Colorful for sure, but the lines do flow through nicely from one part to another. Quote

MKT Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 When I first came across these anniversary liveries, they look so far removed from what a typical real jet would look like until I stumbled upon actual anniversary liveries of various air forces. JASDF squadrons appear to be pretty prolific and they have some of the most colorful ones. That said this 30th Anniversary 1J look good enough to my eyes without the additional stickers. On other hand the 35th Anniversary one just looks too plain without them. Quote

I think I did that one with your DX fig...if I have a few minutes I'll redo using your HMR Again, the posing capabilities have come a log way from the 1/55 days....still much respect for the old school toys though!

MKT Posted July 26, 2023 Posted July 26, 2023 Re-did a previous pic of Roy at tail end of his Gerwalk hand-to-hand with Ivanov.. With a shot from another angle.. Quote
MKT Posted August 22, 2023 Posted August 22, 2023 The very first pic I took of my very first modern valk toy I acquired years ago. I was so impressed by it especially as compared to the KO toys I had as a kid, and the collection quickly ballooned, and grew even more into all sorts of other titles. It's been quite a journey since.. Quote

It’s too bad it’s now yellowed as heck, due to improper sunlight exposure during the early days of collecting. Hence the 25F Revival came at a good time. 3 hours ago, enphily said: Great pic! Waiting Bandai release the Revival Alto Armor. Love this more than the Delta ones. Quote

MKT Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 ^^ Very nice... I've got a confession. I didn't much like the Arcadia VF-0D in earlier days of collecting, compared to the 0S/0A. I thought delta wing on the VF-0 body look strange, and Battroid just seems dysfunctional with those huge wings hanging off the back and blocking movement of the legs. Gradually, I came around and got to like its uniqueness, and now with this HMR VF-0D, Battroid-wise it looks miles better than the HMR VF-0S. I think partly it's because of the shorter wings option, and we are seeing more of it in dynamic poses that we don't see the Arcadia's in (likely due to lack of stand for the Arcadia). Quote

Always loved the 0D in plane, but it's battroid always left me with some question marks, especially Arcadia's attempts. But this HMR nails for me as the wings don't go below the knees, and that stand... magnifect!!! Quote
R0P3-F15H Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 Really love this toy! She looks great with super parts to. Quote
MKT Posted September 11, 2023 Posted September 11, 2023 Probably for the first time, I'm liking an HMR more than its bigger 1/60 counterpart, at least in Battroid. The VF-0D's shorter wings really help with the sculpt, and the fixed posed bigger hands makes it much more expressive.. Quote
Mog Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) @Darotower, Roy needs more bottles next to him! Edited September 12, 2023 by Mog Quote

MKT Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) IMHO the nicest Gerwalk mode for any VF belongs to the VF-0D, and the HMR toy makes it exactly that. This is one area where the HMR VF-0 is miles improved over the HMR VF-1, allowing some really aggressive stance whilst keeping both feet firmly on the ground. Spoiler Just including an alternate pic, showing how different lighting and processing really makes the color very different.. Edited September 15, 2023 by MKT Quote
