Just a quick question: Did the VF-1, while in battroid mode, ever twist its waist/nose cone in the TV series or Movie? Any screen shot perhaps?

I have a funny feeling that Hikaru's DX 1s (and other related items) will be heavily displayed at the Tamashii Nations exhibit this weekend.

Well see if there is anymore teased items in the pipeline.

Will be there in two weeks!  What are the chances they will actually have anything for sale?

 

ETA:  $hit, I just checked there hours.  I'm going to be there on a Monday morning, but they're not open until 12pm.....and it might be some sort of national holiday that weekend so who knows if their hours will be affected.

Nice pics everyone. @saburo your battroid pics are making me rethink if I should try to pick up Max. The color blocking looks good in batrroid mode but I feel it’s kinda weird in fighter mode with the big blue panels.

@Lolicon

do us a favor a reshoot all your weathered Valks when you got a DSLR :yahoo:

 

If that is still being shot handheld, a cheapo tripod will help a lot, together with Manual or semi auto exposure (set the ISO to lowest)

That's the plan. :) Been looking at different entry level DSLRs to see which is best for a tightwad like myself.

When I see pics from the masters like @Saburo or @Kuma Style I think "man, my pics look like dog crap." :lol:

I guess...  The twist is on the fuselage and chest though.  Not on the tip of the nose cone near the hips like in the DX.  Thanks for the pix.  I might as well watch the whole series and movie again.  :)

But your Valk is so sweet. So your photo looks so nice.

Maybe that is the reason for getting even better results with a "better" camera. If you don't mind used, there are a lot of good value lightly used DSLR (or mirrorless such as the Sony A6000) that you can find for below $300 with a simple lens.

I can also recommend some very nice old manual focus lens that can be easily adapted to the A6000 via a cheap adaptor ($15).

A lot of people argue that spending some cash on lighting will be much more important than the camera.

It's probably been asked before, but does anyone have any tips for keeping the gun stable in the skeleton hands?  It seems like if I don't brace the gun against the inner arm I just can't keep it very stable.  Also Valks and giant space Pikachu.

any site with a good price on those? I was looking earlier today but looked like 350+ dollars

Not really. Your best bet is Auctions or better yet, have someone in Japan pick one up

Yup hmm no idea how I missed that it ever even came out.  At least I got max though that one is the most unique so far.

I bought one from a user on Facebook for $270. He stated that he got 2 units for 24.000 Yen each. Picked up by a friend of his in store somewhere in Japan. That was 13 day's ago. And i received the package on Monday. All good.

I think the plastic cylinder is hiding something to be revealed later?

Armor parts perhaps?

I'm a little confused.Is this saying that the PO units will start shipping then? Or is it another PO?

That's just the official release date.  Like all other Bandai release dates, they tend to start to trickle out a day or two before.
