Macross_Fanboy Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I was messing around with my YF-21 and thought I'd try putting it into "perched" mode and it worked, has anyone else done this? I think it looks kewl... Quote

GreenGuy42 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Fastpack version? Yea, that took me a while, but it DOES look awesome. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) No, not Gerwalk, perched, legs only, no arms and sorry, I've got no digicam. The thing is that I can't get the FPs on the belly and still keep it balanced. It looks better than full Gerwalk mode. Edited January 12, 2004 by Macross_Fanboy Quote
GreenGuy42 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Huh. Cool. I'll have to play with mine before I hit the sack tonight. That sounds pretty neat. Quote
Graham Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 No, not Gerwalk, perched, legs only, no arms and sorry, I've got no digicam. Generally referred to as a 'half Gerwalk mode'. Graham Quote
Montarvillois Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Generally referred to as a 'half Gerwalk mode'. Graham Or "half fighter" and by some "quarter battroid" Quote
Kaolian Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Generally referred to as a 'half Gerwalk mode'. Graham Or "half fighter" and by some "quarter battroid" 1/8th Chicken mode? Quote
Montarvillois Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 1/8th Chicken mode? You can call it 1/8th chicken mode only if it comes with coleslaw and fries. Quote
asianLove Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 1/8th Chicken mode? You can call it 1/8th chicken mode only if it comes with coleslaw and fries. hee hee.. that was pretty witty... Quote
mbs357 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I have my VF-1J in "perched" mode on my stereo at the moment. Really neat mode. Wish I had FAST packs...but man, it's already awesome enough. If I get anymore happy I might explode... /me cuddles 1J Anyway, yea, perched mode owns. Quote
Montarvillois Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I have my VF-1J in "perched" mode on my stereo at the moment. Well let me tell you about the VF-1A low visibility I had in perched mode on a shelf a while ago... Better make sure you don'T play heavy metal near a "perched" 1/48 if it is too high cause they don't like falling on their back. The hinges were not made to sustain heavy shocks from perched mode falls. Quote
Mad Dawg Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Forget about perched mode, has anyone gotten their YF-21 FP into STANDING WITHOUT ASSISTANCE mode? I got it close, once. It stood for two weeks before my subwoofer, from across the room mind you, produced just the right frequency to shatter the delicate splendor that was my achievement. I swear to all that is holy, this is the first drunken alcoholic toy I've ever owned. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted January 13, 2004 Author Posted January 13, 2004 "Standing without assistance?" What's that?? Quote

I took me 1hr and 40min to get my yf-21 in gerwalk mode standing without it supported. Its tricky and you may want to throw it against the wall at times, but its satisfying once you get it you can get tips in the 'yet another review' for the yf-21. i might've broken something while doing it, so becareful.

Macross_Fanboy Posted January 13, 2004 Author Posted January 13, 2004 Man, it's easy getting it to stand in Gerwalk and Battroid mode by itself. Quote
Wicked Ace Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I found a place selling the YF-21 w/fast packs for $60, but after reading this thread, I think I'll pass on the deal. I especially like the "pineapple on toothpicks" comment. LOL! Quote
Myersjessee Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Dont do it Wicked...you'll be sorry...its still a nice little display piece despite it's problems (IMO) Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted January 13, 2004 Author Posted January 13, 2004 Geez, I regret ever buying the craptacular thing that is called the YF-21. It's super unposeable! The 1/48, if there ever will be one, better not be as shitty as the 1/72! <_ Quote
Wicked Ace Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 (edited) Dont do it Wicked...you'll be sorry...its still a nice little display piece despite it's problems (IMO) I looked at the pics on Valkyrie-Exchange.com, and I was still unsure. When I first saw Macross Plus, I said to a friend, "I wish somebody would make a toy of these planes." Today, I looked at/held the YF-21 w/fast packs (still in the box) closely and still didn't have the overwhelming urge to buy it. Edited January 13, 2004 by Wicked Ace Quote
Nani?! Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I never tried the perched mode till I read this thread... I must say it looks pretty swank~ It was unexpectedly easy for me to get it in that position. Maybe a minute or so... anyway, fortunately I have a Dig cam and I got some pics.. Excuse the quality.

Montarvillois Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 YUP ! It really looks like a chicken... but where is the coleslaw and the fries ??? !!!! Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 whoa...the 21 looks a lil chunky Quote
GreenGuy42 Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 YOu know, it sorta looks like the Locust from Battletech. Quote
Neova Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 I nominate the perch mode to be officially dubbed the "Chicken" mode. Bawwwk bawwwk bawwwkk come here little red ghost ship... Bawwkk bawwwk bawwwk.. Quote
KingNor Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 sorry but those spindly legs just don't do it for me. i like the vf-1 because changing to chicken mode substantialy changes the profile. and makes it look more balanced (like it was designed properly) this thing looks like the legs were an after thought. i guess to me it's just not sexy enough. sorry. Quote
Angel's Fury Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 couldn't do the perched mode on my YF-21FP either. The legs were too loose, but it was a lot easier to do with the VF-11B FP. Quote
Montarvillois Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Hey do you know why roosters have no hands ? Because "perched mode" yf-21's have no breasts... Ok, I know... bad joke Quote
