I just made some adjustments. Thanks! Below is the DYRL/Skull Squad shelf in its entirety. For now. I have a naked VF-1S Max that's going where the VF-1A Hikaru is in Fighter mode. The Hikaru 1A is going behind the CF next to Kakazaki. Eventually all of these will be DX's. By December I think. Note the Yammies with DX hands.

Then turn around and send nothing. Honestly, they’re lack of customer focus has really turned me away from buying anything from their shop. NY has never let me down. They might not be the fastest, but they have never let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Wish I could say the same. I never had any issues with them before but the DX Strike Parts really left a black spot for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Collapse the gunpod so you can tuck it in for a more realistic pose, almost as if the head is looking down the sights. Can almost get a proper a cheek weld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I still haven't mastered the kneeling position yet on these DXs.....its not easy but the goal would be to get it to look this good: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/wf/wf_j_knee2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angesdad Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Retractable wings to be designed and incorporated for upcoming DX's Bandai . Ab-crunching Valkyries would be awesome. They can build in a pullout metal joint where the nose cone meets the cockpit at the rotation point!

MacrossJunkie Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 These things need a GERWALK-like joint for the knee or something so that the knee could extend and curve in to allow for the leg to bend at the knee greater than the roughly 90 degrees the transformable VF-1 toys from Arcadia and Bandai allow.

spanner Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Pain aside of dealing with NY and UPS woeful shipping I'm absolutely loving the Kakizaki variant! Shame about the "210" tampo stuff up but it doesn't bother me too much as everything else seems ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the pilots for the movie versions are a bit chunkier and look and fit way better in the cockpit. I'm hoping they fix the tiny pilot issue for the TV versions.. they look like they took them from the 1/60 toys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean compared to the hikkie pilot in the VF-1S, I was wondering if they used the same mold or they actually made an effort to make him chunkier, just curious thats all, since they made a difference between TV Roy n the rest of the TV pilots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedComet Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 If anyone needs Kaki and the SSP and Missiles to go with it, this is not a bad price.

Chaos Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I don't know if anyone else has discovered this, but I bring F O R B I D D E N knowledge. There is a full set of sculpted details under the leg panels of the SSP, but you have to coax the panel off, it's glued down. I posted this in a group on Facebook and got banned.
