68whiskey Posted January 11 Posted January 11 The Red and Yellow skulls are beautiful ... Do you have a rough estimate of when these are expected to go live? Quote

sh9000 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Has anyone ever made stands or adapters for 1/55 Valkyries? Quote

I bought a bunch of Archi Stands for my 1/55 customs a while back and what's missing are adapters for them. It's not going to be a fast design process, though, since the basic 1/55 adapter would be different than the one for Super/Strike, the one for the Elint, and the one for the Ostrich. And that's just Fighter mode. I think I can get away with one for Battroid mode (except for GBP) and one for Gerwalk mode. So...at least six different adapters have to be designed. Quote

Will there be a break if one buys the whole set of bases? 14 hours ago, rsvictor1976 said: It would be cool if you could just replace the emblems like the ones on the Bandai DX Super/Strike parts so you can use the same stand on multiple toys. Maybe so, but what they accomplished already is pretty fantastic! Quote
Rabidweezil Posted January 11 Posted January 11 15 hours ago, BroTaku79 said: Upcoming Limited Edition Preview! Skull Squdron is coming soon *Prototype shown in photo, will be available to everyone on the site once it launches* I have purchased 4 UN Spacy Stands and 3 Pros. And I was originally excited to hear there were Skull Squadron versions in the works. But after seeing these I am very conflicted if I will be picking up any. First, there is no black skull emblem . And I am not aware of an instance where Roy had one in yellow. Even if there was a black logo, having Roy’s name on it would limit it from being used for Hikaru TV VF-1S , Flashback Vf-4 and potentially Hikaru and Max DYRL VF-1S depending on ones personal preference. Heck, it could even go with the KO Skull Jetfire God of Flame. So just a suggestion, release a plain black version and I see myself picking up at least 3 because of versatility As for these, they do look great! But they are also limited to what they can be used for so I am just not sure Quote

I know I'd be interested in a set of these as bases, and maybe two of Kakizaki. Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 These look great but they’re so limiting to what toy you can use them with given they have both the colors and pilot names on them. The previous limited edition logo was perfect. Quote

The previous limited edition logo was perfect. Part of me would like them to not have any text, it's true, but I'd most likely use them with matching valks. Hell, another part of me would love to have the series logo on them (a step too far, I know), but they are pretty damned cool already. I suppose a sticker set might be an option if they didn't have text. Of course, plain versions of the stand with all designs being stickers or decals would be possible then. Not sure that's best, but I'd have been on board for that too. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I also vote for a plain black version. No name. Make it work for any VF-1/VF-4/VF-0 etc we see from skull squadron. (plus, black looks cool) Quote

I guess black acrylic would still be stronger than any original stands, though. Edited January 12 by Radioguy Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 12 Posted January 12 No, not the stand itself. Just the logo. Not red/blue/yellow/green, but black. A simple black circle with a white skull and bones. Quote

BroTaku79 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Thank you for Black Skull feedback. I will communicate with the supplier and see if this is possible for future. Quote
