Chronocidal Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 10 hours ago, treatment said: Yeah. Bandai pegs/connections. Yeah... Fun fact.. seating the arms fully on the pegs tends to point the gunpod so high Roy shoots himself in the backside. Only way I can get the gunpod lined up is pulling the arms fully off the pegs, and angling them down. Quote

No rush....but if you have the time I would like to take a crack at the VF-1J "half-schematic" pic...not sure how good it would look if I combined the DX -1J with the "schematic" side shown on that IMAI box.....what I do know is that you would be able to nail the pose using the DX!

SUPERULTRAROBORIDER Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I'd like to see something like the SoC DX line, a VF with removable armor pieces to expose internal mechanicals! Quote

They’re already DX’s so I suppse if they were going to do that it would probably be a Metal Structure. 1/35 scale. $1000+. Bandai isn’t terribly consistent. The Metal Structure Gundam is about 17” tall and costs about $1000. The DX Mazinger Z is about 16” tall and $1000. I’d buy a $1000 1/35 Focker without hesitating.

Dayum. Definitely above market price. My Roy shipped to my forwarding service from Amazon, 24000JY. Will probably send it via surface. I don’t mind waiting. Quote

Chronocidal Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Just got in my second Focker and super packs from AE, and.. I gotta say, the "special" stand kind of pisses me off. It's one thing to make your tabbing system sloppy, and misaligned, so you have to bend the arms to get the gunpod level. It's an entirely different problem when you design your display stand to hold the gunpod at the wrong freaking angle. Seriously. I just can't even begin to understand Bandai's designs. Yes, the gunpod is entirely capable of sitting level, if you drop the arms very slightly, and bend them at the elbows, which of course leaves the arms hanging completely below the tabs on the underside of the backplate. The tabs and slots that hold the arms in place with super packs on have enough slop in them that the angle doesn't keep them from locking in place. But, according to Bandai, the gunpod is supposed to be aiming at the underside of the nose. Edited January 12, 2021 by Chronocidal Quote
Corrinald Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I found myself rather underwhelmed when adding the Super Parts to Roy's VF-1S in fighter mode. Could not get the arms to tab in and hold the gunpod up at the right angle. Hadn't tried the display stand yet...so that's a bummer how it lines up there too. Otherwise they look really nice and it's great to have proper red tipped missiles. I will have to display it in Gerwalk or Battroid for less annoyance. Quote

Whatever you do, do not allow your friends or family to crouch down and focus their gaze on this defect....what an eyesore! I honestly do not think anyone would hold it against you if you just decided to toss it all in the trash and set it ablaze! Quote

Yeah, so the arms WILL NOT tab in and hold the gunpod level. They just flat out don't do it. They are designed to hold it pointed up at the underside of the nose, because BANDAI. You have to bend the arms so they drop entirely free of those pegs before the gunpod will sit level with super packs. Edited January 12, 2021 by Chronocidal Quote

Chronocidal Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 I wonder if I just have the mount hooked too deeply under the intakes? No idea.. I'm just going by the solid plate on interior of the stand mount that seems designed to hold directly against the gunpod at that angle. In other annoying news.. anyone know which VF-1 these kite logos are supposed to match? Or maybe they always intended for this to match the VF-1J? Quote

TV super parts delivery came through at last yesterday from Kurama toys. As a member pointed out, they in Hong Kong, not Japan. Edited January 13, 2021 by Angesdad Quote
