sh9000 Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 The piece is glued on but can be carefully removed. Maybe cave out the section a little and put at least the pilot's head and torso showing. Quote

beatsing Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Bandai should add a few accessories like they did with the tieren. Yamato did it with pilots and engineers and flight deck guys for the Tomahawk. They should have drilled the cockpit for the Spartan like the tieren from bandai Gundam.

I love the Spartan -- its so beefy and durable -- feels like a proper toy from the 80s in my hands, but with modern touches. Looking forward to the rest of the destroids. Quote

Atheonyirh Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Underside looked a little complicated but fine to me from what I saw, but I'm not actually very familiar with the VF-2 so I don't know. I do know I'm going to be slamming some buttons on July 3rd between that, a Code Geass RD or two, and Figuarts Bat'fleck. Quote

ArchieNov Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Wow. Bandai actually managed to make the VF-2SS look cool and awesome from all the angles shown in that pic. My excitement level for this release has suddenly grown tremendously. Quote

One thing for sure, and members here will surely agree, that underside is better than this... This one is much better looking even if it still says 'The picture is for illustrative purposes only'. Here's the lineart for comparison. Quote
Atheonyirh Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Oh, wow. Uh. It definitely looks cleaner than THAT. Especially for the scale it's using. Wow, no wonder people complained so much about it. Quote
ArchieNov Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 One thing kinda worries me though. I'm checking the legs and arms and I only see one set of tabs that connect them to each other in fighter mode. I was hoping there would be additional pegs/tabs that would connect the legs to the body for added rigidity in fighter, but can't seem to find any from the pics. I really do hope that this doesn't suffer from the floppiness of the ET version. Quote
recon Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 Damn that hmr vf-2ss is a must get. No brainer on the possibility of bandai milking the mold for what its worth and also producing a vf-2ja icarius in the process But what i really want is a 1/60 DX ver Quote

Ok Painting painting.. j/king.... am really hoping they release the acrobatic versions now... just will have to wait for sh9000 to customise them till then! Back to the topic at hand, yup they got the proportions and look of the vf2ss pretty down accurate i must say. Cant remember if there was that unslightly bar on the back, holding up the cannon pack on the head, but i guess you cant run away from a form of support. Plus its a nice touch the missile doors on the SAP packs open up and arent just for display. I must say SAP gerwalk mode looks like a total TANK on legs! 1 hour ago, ArchieNov said: One thing kinda worries me though.

There must be a hinge mechanism helping it angle out, but i cant seem to see it. 1 hour ago, no3Ljm said: Here's the lineart for comparison. It doesn't look like the HMR has a tilt up mechanism for the wings in gerwalk mode, those hinges seem more attached to the shoulders than the wing. But if the wings do angle up, thats some pretty nifty engineering there! Quote

spacemanoeuvres Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I was 99% going to pass on this figure but it's growing on me lol Quote
