VF5SS Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 http://experten.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2014/04/55in11-8ee7.html He's really moving on making resin kits of second and third tier Valkyries. The VF-5000B is a slight remold of the Dynamite 7 ones he already made and the VF-9 I believe is the first transforming kit of this design. Someone made a scratchbuilt transforming VF-9 before but that was a one of a kind. He's basically done every playable Valkyrie from Macross M3! Just gotta do the Variable Glaug now. Quote
MILKAUTICO Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 These guys are geniuses while I've been saying in my other post. God as I would like to have that talent. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Heck, I might buy the VF-9 just to see how it transforms---the wings were complicated enough, but I never did totally figure out the 90-degree arm-bar-swing thing and how it cleared the hips etc. Quote
Renato Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 They are small but price-wise, they are not so bad, considering. 18,000 yen for a fully transforming VF-9 GK is reasonable. Quote
VF5SS Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 I was checking FG-site and found someone made a Lego VF-9 http://www.fg-site.net/archives/2962963 and here's someone's scratch built version http://www.fg-site.net/archives/post_old/55774 Quote
aaajin Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Here are the built kits :VF-9 VF-5000BAnd...VF-11B with atmospheric boosters!! Drooool.... EDITED : changed mobile links to full site links Edited May 7, 2014 by aaajin Quote
antibiotictab Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 So, did anybody go and buy those things at Tokyo Big Sight yesterday? Treasure Festa in Ariake was held there and those ones were sold. Quote
Mommar Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 None of these Experten web pages ever load for me. Quote
MILKAUTICO Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 If someone can go? take out some photos for those who are on the other side of the world. Quote
Reïvaj Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 VF-9 by Experten: all the pics put together. And because you asked for it... The VF-5000B pics: Quote
VF5SS Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 The scratch built VF-9 looks pretty on target which makes me wonder what Experten did differently with his kit that the Battroid came out like that. Quote
Mommar Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Are there pics of the scratch built one from the back too? For one thing it looks like the legs on the Experten one are extremely far apart. and the chest/shoulders are super broad and squat. I've honestly never been a fan of the VF-9, but wow does this Experten one make it look baaaaad. That scratch build one still doesn't do anything for me but proportionally it's very appealing.

VF5SS Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 http://www.fg-site.net/archives/post_old/55774 naw it's just shots of it transforming and a pic next to the Hi Metal VF-19 it's appropriately tiny Quote
aaajin Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 The vf-5000 looks like it shares a lot of similarities with the 11b especially during transformation between fighter to gerwalk.. Quote
antibiotictab Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 FYI http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f134667510 http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w102747207 Quote
505thAirborne Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 If only Arcadia would make a vf-5000... An Arcadia VF-5000 and a VF-3000 Crusader would be super awesome! The VF-5000 Experten made looks really good, nice & solid! Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 A transforming VF-3000 toy from anyone would be the best thing ever. Quote
MILKAUTICO Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 A transforming VF-3000 toy from anyone would be the best thing ever. Something you will be interested to see http://www.imprime-recorta-pega.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5583 Quote
Mommar Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) The vf-5000 looks like it shares a lot of similarities with the 11b especially during transformation between fighter to gerwalk.. The 5000 does pretty much transform like the 11. I suppose more like a 11/19 hybrid really. Edited May 11, 2014 by Mommar Quote
aaajin Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 The 5000 does pretty much transform like the 11. I suppose more like a 11/19 hybrid really. Yea, now that you mention it, the shoulder/hand transformation on the 5000 does transform like a 19, but the wings/cockpit transformations are more like the 11 Quote
aaajin Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 here's your chance to own one (not my listing, just passing it around) : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Macross-Wonder-Festival-VF-5000G-1-100-Transformable-Model-Kit-/321418339751?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item4ad606a5a7 Quote
