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
grogall Posted January 23 Posted January 23 @BroTaku79 The Skull Squadron stands look good ,but like others I would also prefer the black Jolly Rogers logo; too the yellow! It should match the emblem on the fast pack! Please give me a heads up when available so I can place my order! Thanks Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 24 Posted January 24 SMS is higher priority, due to so many -25's and -29's out there----but I would be interested in a Galaxy logo, for the -27: Quote
Radioguy Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Because I didn't see it posted... @BroTaku79, I wonder if we can now get ThreeZero VF-1-compatible adapters for use with these stands? I'd be interested in a few. Quote

seriously Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Just received and really enjoying the stand. Highly configurable and sturdy. Well done @BroTaku79 Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 3 Posted February 3 That Roy looks really WHITE---is it a TV Roy with DYRL packs? Quote

seriously Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Arcadia V2 grey market DYRL. Really happy with it. Even came with clear super parts which I was not expecting. Quote

Ah yes, I realize now you are referring to the title of the thread where it's mainly discussed. A bit of a misnomer now, as the Valkyrie Factory/Fugu releases are pure knockoffs. (Serviceable ones though!) Quote

rsvictor1976 Posted February 14 Posted February 14 @BroTaku79Any chance you can make an adapter for the ThreeZero ROBO-DOU toys that actually holds them in place instead of cradling them? Quote
