Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

[seti88]

How the heck are bandai gonna do this in DX form!!???

draken kit transformation...http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43414&page=14#entry1298750

1) pull off stowing the gear with so many mechanism's/joints surrounding the gear area..

2) the forearm's are so short plus they need to accommodate the elbow joints..the hands are really gonna be squished in the forearms?

3) ensuring the rotating wing can lock the wing in the horizontal position? how to support the ghosts...?

the transformation is midblowing, and the kit got away with swappable hands and gears..

must say bandai got its hands full with this one...

Ha, seti88! Just posted the exact same thing in the model thread before reading your post. My thoughts exactly!

[no3Ljm]

This is why I love this forum. We always panic to everything we see. Months even before the PO starts. Hahaha!

[Mommar]

Well,in order to fit everything, like the hands in the arms and the popup guns the DX is visibly fatter than the model kit or CG model.

That is one funky a$$ transformation, cool but funky!

Saw your posting too...its uncanny in similarity!

This valk is certainly pushing the envelop for perfect transformation and am really looking forward to see if it can pull it off well!

I keep thinking of arcadia's complicated SV-51 transformation and if bandai can create a stable yet aesthetically pleasing valk its gonna be a feather in bandai's cap for sure...

Kawamori's sketches for the Sv-262Hs and Ba. From the Delta BD 2 special release.

Oh! I like Kawamori sketches!

I feel if they are able to do a perfect transformation it will not be a quick transformation. I will be going from fighter to gerwalk and an hour or more will have gone by. Gerwalk to robot, it will take all night.

Couldn't agree more. And up to now, I do take a lot of time transforming my Valks. And once in awhile I open up transforming videos just in case I miss any folds and turns. The only Valk that I could transform easily is the VF-1's.

Or... we could all just jump ship and do TomyTec Gimix from now on.

The transformation looks nice and the build looks sturdy.

But I dare him to transform it so easily with decals on.

As with my Bandai Vf-25s, I doubt it will transform very easily after a coat of paint.

If they really wanted to increase sales, they'd actually show off the mecha fighting and transforming in the show itself...

[Sildani]

The Gerwalk doesn't look half bad. Wonder how solid it is, and how durable those wings are.

[seti88]

Looks like the DX is ready. Whatcha waiting for bandai ..

Heart wouldnt mind the 262 to be released quickly but wallet still says wait till next year...

We're always prepared with anything Macross stuff. Only obtaining a preorder is the problem.

[Chronocidal]

I love how they've got him surrounded by glasses displays.

[arbit]

Are we sure those are all DXs, not models mixed in?

One thing to find out is that for members who already have the Draken kit can tell if that's the same hand on the Gerwalk mode. If it is, then that's the kit.

[iguanaman8989]

It looks like the only DX on the table is the fighter on the stand.

The fighter mode sitting on the table is the model kit, it has two slots in the side of he leg, which is probably for the missile launchers.

The gerwalk sitting there is also probably the kit, the arm assembly and hand look like the model's as well.

The battroid is too far away and the picture too small to be sure, but like the gerwalk, the hands look to belong to the kit also.

[505thAirborne]

That 262 looks really good, love all the detail. Now the hard part.... PO madness!

It scares me that NY never seemed to reopen the preorder windows on the VF-31J. I really need one of each Valkyrie from Delta.

yes indeed, I too found that very surprising! im glad I went with HLJ rather than taking my chances waiting for NY to reopen their PO..

[Sandman]

NY has not been reopening their preorders ever since the vf-19advance. It's the norm now. They wait till release date to sell any additionals.

Wasn't HLJ long sold out before NY ever opened preorders in the first place?

[Heatwave]

Uuugh! The temptation!

On one hand I clearly can't afford more than two Macross Delta DX Chogokins at the moment and I've already ordered one. On the other hand this will no doubt be really cool and cost an arm and a leg in the after market.

The money I've been setting aside thus far has been for the inevitable VF-31C, but since this is clearly going to be released before that, I may be safe using that money for the Draken III.

Plus I would have until March next year to cancel/raise the money for the VF-31C again.

So I guess...I'll be taking part in the pre-order madness. Hopefully my phone's internet will be sufficient during the web traffic on the main online stores

[Sildani]

I want a 262, but not Keith's. I'll spring for a Ba version when it comes out.

[arbit]

Looks like valk origami.

hmmm yeah I think so.. can't quite remember.

even if it means surviving on rice and water then fine im gonna be getting all of them regardless!

[Mommar]

I didn't realize the hull on the 262 was so curved. It actually reminds me of the Yamato 17 in several ways. The hull is more curved than expected and this DX has to be thicker than we see onscreen.
