Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) The data on the MiG is inaccurate. I, excuse me, *we* happened to see a MiG do a 4g negative dive. at what range? 200w.gif hahahaha Edited March 28, 2016 by davidwhangchoi Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) at what range? um, about 2 meters. Maybe one and a half. I've got a great Polaroid of it, and he's right there, must be one and a half. Edited March 28, 2016 by anime52k8 Quote
unlogic Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I dunno if this has already been shared here, but it just now popped up in my Youtube feed. Some nice close-up video of the toy at... I dunno what event, either. Anyway. I just noticed VF-31 arms are so skinny!! Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 it can either have skinny arms or it can have a fat bulge under the wings in fighter mode like the 30 had. pick your poison. Quote
Nekko Basara Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I think the -30 had bulges in all the right places Quote
Sildani Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Can't remember where I read it. Sorry, David. Should probably excise that memory if I can't back it up. But yeah. Skinny arms. Bulges. Uniboobs. Passive versus active. This thread is starting to get interesting! Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 it can either have skinny arms or it can have a fat bulge under the wings in fighter mode like the 30 had. pick your poison. A sleek Fighter mode for the win. If I wanted ungainly Fighter modes I'd collect (more) Transformers. -b. Quote
Nyankodevice Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 wow the VF-31 actually looks good in all modes... unlike certain other YF and VF Quote
anime52k8 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 wow the VF-31 actually looks good in all modes... unlike certain other YF and VF I'm not sure which valks you're talking about but I'm already personally offended. Quote
Raptor One Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I'm not sure which valks you're talking about but I'm already personally offended. This. Quote
Skypoet Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 wow the VF-31 actually looks good in all modes... unlike certain other YF and VF I totally and wholeheartedly agree. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 wow the VF-31 actually looks good in all modes... unlike certain other YF and VF I'm pretty sure you're referring to the 21/22's, no? Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I'm not sure which valks you're talking about but I'm already personally offended. This. Me three. I mean honestly, who's ever heard of an unattractive Valkyrie? Psssh -b. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Me three. I mean honestly, who's ever heard of an unattractive Valkyrie? -b. VF-2. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 VF-2. If you're talking about the recently released toy you might have a point... Sorry Evolution toys fans, that was probably too soon. On topic, the "whatever" pack is actually growing on me. If it shoots magical anime girls or boomerangs or sound waves or whatever, when I get the toys I'll just pretend it's a next generation strike cannon and call it a day. -b. Quote
kajnrig Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 it can either have skinny arms or it can have a fat bulge under the wings in fighter mode like the 30 had. pick your poison. What bulge are you referring to? The closest I can see are the protruding panels on the legs that cover up the hands. Or do you mean the whole arm assembly? Quote
Nekko Basara Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I took it to mean the thicker wing root area that contains the forearms, giving the underside of the wings a sort of stepped cross-section where they merge into the fuselage. Personally, I think it's visually more interesting than a sharp wing-to-fuselage connection, and I if I saw it on a real aircraft it wouldn't look out of place. The F-15 has a similar bulge in the underside of its wing roots, it's just much less pronounced. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Most Aircraft do have a tapered cross section in the wings, it's a structural thing. I'm really interested in this toy, and I would love to have one, but I don't know which one (I tend to pick a single valk of the type to purchase, as I'm not made of money). Can anyone give me a rundown of what each model looks like? Quote

So I'm bumping up again here. going to bump up the pictures so those who don't look back don't missed them Quote

Or do you mean the whole arm assembly? I swear early on when we first started seeing the DX toy, people were saying that the equivalent to the area marked out was handled better and looked cleaner on the VF-31. Quote
aaajin Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 VF-31F looks good, but still acrobatic-ish kinda cool. Hopefully Bandai will to a backflip and release the cannon fodder version before the rest of the Walkure squad (pink & yellow) Quote

If some images are correct that long cannon looking thing on its back is actually a detachable gunpod of some sort and probably has the capability of being used like a strike cannon. Quote
Nekko Basara Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I suppose there's no way to know the answer to this yet, but I'm curious if the Delta versions of the -31 are really full variants the way their names suggest (like the VF-1D, J, S, etc. in SDFM), or if they are one-offs built specifically to support Walkure (like the VF-11MAXL Kai and VF-19 Kai for Fire Bomber). If they are normal models, their "customization" could be limited to stores only - Voomerangs in the legs in place of micro-missiles, plus the special weapons pod - and maybe we would see other forward-swept -31s in general issue colors.

seti88 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Frankly speaking i would have tot the 31J would be a general issued valk. Dont tell me they fore-saw hayate joining the valk force and quickly created one esp for him? But as it stands, I would think the hero valks would be more of one-off's. Unsure if there would be another general issue 31 with FSW, as the 31A is a representative of the general issued 31. Will have to watch delta and see if they do indeed go down the 31 FSW for general use route. Quote
ManhattanProject972 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 They either painted a backup plane or converted a 31A into the J by giving it a revised head sensor suite and FSWs. Quote
Duymon Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Honestly i am more concerned about singing girls flying around and doing weird crap during battle than i am hayate getting a custom valk lol Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 If you would only browse or backtrack the pages, David already bump up the images of the whole gang. So I'm bumping up again here. Much appreciated, I must have skipped a page or three by accident. They either painted a backup plane or converted a 31A into the J by giving it a revised head sensor suite and FSWs. Wait, is there a VF-31 that doesn't have FSW? Is there an image on this board? Or maybe a link? Quote
Scyla Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Much appreciated, I must have skipped a page or three by accident. Wait, is there a VF-31 that doesn't have FSW? Is there an image on this board?

seti88 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 They either painted a backup plane or converted a 31A into the J by giving it a revised head sensor suite and FSWs. It may also tie in with the walkure singing competition, where they were finding a 5th singer to join them. I suppose this would have given them a reason to prep a seperate 31. Perhaps there is a seperate trial for the 5th valk pilot. Too many if's, but whatever it is, at least freya has a valk of her own to accompany her. Honestly i am more concerned about singing girls flying around and doing weird crap during battle than i am hayate getting a custom valk lol haha..join the dark side ... Much appreciated, I must have skipped a page or three by accident. Wait, is there a VF-31 that doesn't have FSW? Is there an image on this board? Or maybe a link? the 31A is the general use non-FSW valk but the question was if there was another FSW 31 valk which was for general use. Which at this moment is a no. Quote
Valkyrie Driver Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Screw the special snowflake valks, I want the VF-31A. I don't own a delta wing Valk and this seems like the best one. I would love to have a YF-30 but I'd rather have a toy from something I have seen or experienced (I don't own a PS3, so I didn't get to play M30). Quote
spanner Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) dang it.. looks like my plan of buying only one variant of the 31(A) simply isn't going to hold up.. these things just look too good! Edited March 30, 2016 by spanner76 Quote
wmkjr Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Nothing newsworthy to read in this post here guys. Shame on me for not noticing this earlier. The VF-31E radome is elliptical in shape. Makes sense. The more you know... Quote
Bub Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Alright, some fresh pictures from different angles: Quote
