bongcp45 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Wonder whats the reason bandai left these out in the renewal version toys, if they do plan to release v3 of the vf-25 series i do hope they'll include those missiles as well. Edited September 4, 2015 by bongcp45 Quote
wmkjr Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Because they are way more awesome with Super/Armored/Tornado parts!. J/k . If they ever revisit the VF-25 line they would figure out a way to make the wings removable so you can swap it out like the VF-171 so people that want it clean and those that want it with hard points can have them. Also make them swivel too for different wing positions. The V1's clip on weapons set look horrible. Edited September 4, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
Duymon Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Oh God, please don't release V3. I just spent 2 fooking years of f5-slamming to get my current V2 collection. Hardpoints didn't start appearing until the VF-171 super parts, which unfortunately came AFTER the V2's and I guess Bandai was much happier just reusing their already established mold rather than doing a re-tool Quote
neoexcaliber Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I don't think my wallet and keyboard can take a v3. A v2 bundle, maybe. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I think we'll see hardpoints on all future Bandai DX toys, since the VF-171 has themm, the YF-30 has them, and the VF-19Adv has them. Quote
ArchieNov Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I don't think the VF-25 was ever shown carrying underwing armaments, so I don't see the need for hardpoints. Quote
Sildani Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Hmm, good point. I can only remember the Gallia IV speakers. Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I don't think the VF-25 was ever shown carrying underwing armaments, so I don't see the need for hardpoints. Isamu didn't carry any wing armaments on his VF-19 Advance, was he? But Bandai did put some on his toy valk. Quote
CF18 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Super Pack VF-25 were having reaction missiles under the wings in episode 17. Quote
ArchieNov Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Isamu didn't carry any wing armaments on his VF-19 Advance, was he? But Bandai did put some on his toy valk. Yeah, but since he wasn't using any in the show, I wouldn't be placing any armaments on it even if it does have the hardpoints. That's why I wouldn't have cared if it had the hardpoints or not. I can't seem to recall the 25s being loaded with reaction warheads under their wings (I know they were shot by Ozma through his Armored VF-25S, which the toy has also). It's been a few years since I watched the series so my memory is not that clear about it anymore. Quote
Roanstalker Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Didn't Bandai only start using wing hard points on the VF-171? Seems they just didn't think they needed it at the time. Quote

It's been a few years since I watched the series so my memory is not that clear about it anymore. Yeah. But my point was since there was no armaments used by Isamu on that 5sec cameo, Bandai decided to put hard points on his wing. Which goes back to what bongcp45 first posted that he was hoping that V3 of the VF-25's will have hard points on it, in which you replied there was no need since VF-25's didn't use armaments on it. But Bandai still did put hard points on its new mold released Valks. Quote
spanner Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I ain't replacing my entire Frontier Valkyrie collection with a new (version 3) model!!! oh wait.. I feel as if I've said this before somehow.. hehe! but seriously im not doing it.. Quote
Scyla Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I ain't replacing my entire Frontier Valkyrie collection with a new (version 3) model!!! oh wait.. I feel as if I've said this before somehow.. hehe! but seriously im not doing it.. I would probably just buy one Messiah to check the V3 out. I mean what is the worst thing that could happen? Quote
akteon Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Super Pack VF-25 were having reaction missiles under the wings in episode 17. Yep Quote
Sildani Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Ah! Very good. Just two per wing, but still it's there. Quote
spanner Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I would probably just buy one Messiah to check the V3 out. I mean what is the worst thing that could happen? That I'd end up buying the whole lot! AGAIN! the only one who stands to win in that possible situation is my son who will end up with the maddest collection of "old version" Valks! Quote
Lolicon Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Man, the one time they decide to put ordnance on the wings, and they don't work! Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) That I'd end up buying the whole lot! AGAIN! the only one who stands to win in that possible situation is my son who will end up with the maddest collection of "old version" Valks! And that's three (3) of everything for all the modes. Right, Spanner? Not to mention all the modes of the add-on packs as well. His generation of 'Takatoku' toys. Edited September 4, 2015 by no3ljm Quote

bongcp45 Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Yep Thanks for the pics, this is proof enough that bandai should so put the wings hardpoint on the vf 25s in the first place. Quote
valkryenov Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Thanks for the pics, this is proof enough that bandai should so put the wings hardpoint on the vf 25s in the first place. Ooo pleaaaase don't give them any more encouragement to make ver 3, but then again if messiah is the nuns cf vf in delta bandai would instantly jump on the cash cow and then I'll have to undergo the grueling pre orders again. Not really a bright future for me. Quote
