spanner Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I dropped off Scream Man's 31F to his place yesterday evening and got to have a good look at it. Not gonna lie when I say it definitely is a beautiful thing especially more so seeing it in the flesh and I'll certainly love owning mine when it arrives but I'm still firm with my feelings that it is my least favored of the bunch.. Checked my parcel tracking and it landed in Sydney earlier this morning so I'm sure I'll get it tomorrow.. Quote

seti88 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Oh I want to!! But looking at my wallet, its This year so far has been nuts for my macross purchasing and its not over yet! Quote
M'Kyuun Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Congrats to everyone who've received theirs- looking forward to getting mine on Friday. Hadn't really ever paid attention to the head on Messer's valk, but after checking out the posted pics, I get the vitriol aimed at it. Kinda like a Uni-Kamen Rider sort of thing going on there. Fugly nugget aside, I love the overall paint scheme and skull emblem in fighter, which is why I got the 31F. Had I done my homework, I might have passed in favor of Mirage's, or the one with the radome. Quote

Master Dex Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 RE: VF-31F's head. I still really like it, but I know I'm in a minority (I also long the Anubis head of Keith's Draken so I must just like weird head styles) but I will admit the main thing that holds it back from being really good is the weird chin piece it has. If it was a smooth conical section, more like the Draken head even but without the dog ears, and just missing that chin I think it would get a lot less backlash (though I know many dislike the horn and the eyes, I like those however). My 31F and 262Hs should arrive today, can't wait! Quote
seti88 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Count me in for liking the 31F and 272 head sculpt. I think messer was going more for the insectoid look, more menacing like. 9 hours ago, derex3592 said: Loving the simplicity of this thing so far! *cough Drakken *cough...Only had time to go to gerwalk tonight, battroid will have to wait till Friday night.. And in fact if you look at the head stripe on the fuselage, it shapes the tail end of the grey/white strip of the cockpit area nicely. Then 2 white laser antennae provides a flanking white at the end of the cockpit fuselage. Quite fetching i must say! Quote
Shukenzero Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Surprised to see negative reactions to the F head. Love both Messer's and Keith's, so-so with Hayate's. The Anubis head totally works for Keith, while perhaps Arad's battroid head would look great in Messer colours? Quote
Axelay Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Hmmm... I wonder if the YF-30 head would fit on the VF-31F? Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I don't mind the look of the head at all, it's just for practical purposes that I really don't care for unicorn horns on my valks, and wish everything on the back would lay flat like Mirage's valk. Even the VF-25G never had that issue, with the single laser laying straight back along the fuselage. Honestly, between all the folding and bending parts of the VF-31, it's actually kind of awkward to find a good way to pick it up. Almost wish it didn't have the canards, so I could just wrap my hand around the forward fuselage. Quote

Almost wish it didn't have the canards, so I could just wrap my hand around the forward fuselage. I find that too. Place it on your lap to transform and you worry about the tip of the head snapping off. I remove it when I need to fiddle. The SV-262 is hard to swoosh though. Quote

zaino Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) usually import websites from my small experience are really good about closing things down when they sell out, so i want to be able to rule out a fluke like when robin&lucina amiibo was on up on tiger direct for 12 hours and millions of people got an "oops we really dont have that much stock" email. its what? just under 22000? I cant currently get on NY Nowhere to be found on HLJ sold out on hobby search sold out on cdjapan Very interesting Edited April 27, 2017 by zaino Quote
derex3592 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Nice shots!!! Giving Saburo a run for his money! Quote
wmkjr Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Beautiful pics. I knew once I saw the knife it had to be TCracker. That should be your signature action shots. Quote
