>>7017530 Ooh shit, the brown one looks translucent, very nice. I always wanted dirt/dust cloud type explosion effects, but I think the first release dust explosions look pretty bad and they really wasted an opportunity by fully painting them. The strength of the explosion effects is the depth that the clear plastic gives them, and the ability to place lights behind them for a cool glow.

>>7017856 It still poses great and the figure's fantastic, but compared to the Gundam, which we were comparing it to originally, it's objectively worse in those two aspects. Try the flat-foot test on Alex and see how well it does. On the other hand, the front-and-back movement is way better if I remember correctly.

Having a squad of 2 Deserts and a Cannon would be great, but I guess I'll deal with just the one Desert and a Cannon, especially since Deserts go for like, 14k yen now...
I'm really hoping they re-release it in the camo scheme to match the Wetland Zaku, though I'm not exactly holding my breath for it.

>>7021802 Like the other guy notes the Elintseeker is a bit unusual among valks. Its arms don't really peg into its legs due to a unique configuration of them where the arms sit in normal valk mode but the legs are in FAST Pack position, making you rely on a somewhat fiddly and iffy connection provided via pegs sort of hooking into the sensors on the arm packs. Plus all the antennas and other pointy bits. Other valks don't have to worry about that unique equipment and are designed to connect together more solidly.

>>7021809 I would laugh if they do a p-bandai colour variant of the Gernsback Ver.IV. There was a the mail order deserted color RD from 2010. But I highly prefer the IV aesthetic which is a lot of mechanical and realistic, fitting the nature of the design.
Desert variant doesn't appear in IV but who knows what they are allowed to do. The one that appears in episode 7 is navy gray. Maybe Tamashii Nation Event colour variant?

Maybe I can keep it as a display piece. I was specifically looking something to play with. The intended play factor gets lost since it’s too heavy for Tamashii stands and it’s got a lot of heft. From what I gather it may also run a bit small compared to actual Robot Damashii which is problematic because I intend to get Char’s Zaku too.

>>7030165 Here's what you get in terms of accessories: a stand base (you can simply use an Act Stage as well, but the compactness of the included one is nice), two different length stand arms, stand adapted, and a couple brackets for mounting explosion effect parts. You can plug effects directly into the Ball, the brackets just give you more positioning options without putting more holes into the Ball itself.

>>7030229 >>7030265 That's a battroid VF-1J from the Absolute Chogokin (aka Chogokin Katamari) line! It's basically just a hunk of diecast, no poseability of features whatsoever, but it's a neat desk rider. The 1J was a convention exclusive but it's still fairly cheap to throw into a larger Mandarake order or something.
https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1034285732&ref=dos There was an 1S battroid made as well, and it was bundled with a magazine. The 1S looks really odd though, due to how they molded the head lasers, and I don't recommend it.

Are the Volks TSFs any good?
Anonymous
>>7030706 I have all of them.
They are very dated, made of PVC. Some of the earlier don't have bicep joints. Their full paint and sculpts are super gorgeous though.
They are more like poseable statues, but definitely the most gorgeous and most comprehensive product line.
I will say Shiranui Second and Shiranui Ver.2.0 is the best mould in terms of articulation. This is followed by the F-14, F-16 mould and MiG-29(joints are very visible though). The Takemikazuchi and F-15 mould have the worst articulation, which are more like a statue. It is very good looking though. The F-4 moulds are pretty okay.
I personally think the Su-27/37 mould is the best looking and the EF-2000 is the worst looking.
Basically each mould has about 4+ colours each on average.
Other good TSF releases are Kotobukiya's Takemi 1.5 mould, F-22 Raptor and EF-2000 Typhoon.
Anonymous
>>7031183 Thanks, they are fairly cheap so I will get some to try out. Yui's Takemikazuchi seems to be the only odd one that goes for 7k+, even more than statues and figma of Yui herself.

It was sentimental to me because it made me hate Gundam and upped my standards on mecha. As per usual, obscure non anime centric titles don't get much merchandising.
The Volks stuff are proportioned like Five Star Stories. So expect small head, small waist, broad shoulders.

My first MRD is going to be pic-related - using the novel to hold me over meanwhile.
I should get around to more classic Gundam already (like Zeta that it's predecessor hails from) and even watch Wing all the way through instead of just Endless Waltz being my connection, along with read-ups on the wiki of various mobile suits.

>>7030569 >>7031602 I actually preordered it on eBay way back in April! I wouldn't normally chance a preorder on eBay (heck, I can't even leave the seller any feedback because the original transaction was so long ago), but it was the only place I could find offering Ball-only preorders.
It was $38 and I used a 20% off coupon to bring it down to a more reasonable $30.40. I can see a couple sellers on eBay offering the Ball on its own for the same $38 or so, but I'd wait for another eBay coupon or something before buying there, as 30-ish feels just right for the Ball.
>>7034182 I'd say Arcadia would be the definitive one right now. Yamato are essentially the same (one minor tampo difference), but it's a little more complicated because you have to ensure you're picking a good Yamato release using the most updated mold; the Arcadia makes things easy since they've released just one Hikaru 1J and it used the most up to date mold. It's an old mold, but it has all the bells & whistles of a perfect transformation valk and still holds up wonderfully imo.
I just looked up the aftermarket price on the Arcadia though, and yikes. I think at this point your best option is to get a Hi-Metal (not "definitive" but still a super fun figure just as
>>7035005 said) or wait for one of the future releases anons suggested.

Lads? I think the Unicorn design has finally grown on me the way it should have. I want one. But the yellowing I’ve heard about seems kind of concerning. Entropy comes to all things but I’d love for this to hold up a couple decades like well cared for higher quality plastic can. Is there any particular finish of this mold more resistant? I’ve seen at least one listing on Mandarake for a MB 00 also suffering from some yellowing, and that’s a rather recent figure. It seems rather unfortunate that these premium figures, can be so preservation sensitive for its condition. On the other hand, I’ve never even heard of RD yellowing. Not surprisingly though- the lines just too new to expect that IMO.

I don't think its ever been done on a figure or model and it would have been a much more interesting extra than just more vernier exhausts.

>>7054849 I shiver at the thought of those metal joints coming loose over time.

>>7054875 Those are the same types of joints used on the Hi-Metal R toys and mine have all sayed incredibly tight despite playing around with them at least once a day.

>>7054875 They are using spring-pins as you can see from the pic, it's not that bad.

>>7054849 >transformation really is as seamless as can be That said, I'm surprised that considering how Sentinel liked to add additional machinery, sub-arms to grab the smart gun on weren't a design feature, although, to be fair the transformations happened in space and even in atmosphere it probably had little jets and an automatic alignment system that obviously can't be reproduced on a toy.
>Sophisticated functional beauty, both realism and romance are overflowing. Even now about 30 years after birth, could you understand that the attractiveness of Zeta Plus C1 type I'm tempted to buy a second for waverider displaying and transforming exclusively. Thanks for posting this! It was a great read about my first MRD (although Infinite Justice will arrive first) especially accompanied by StarRingChild and Re I Am
Now... About what I said before about this being a test-bed for giving us a transforming Delta Plus (throw in a transforming Zeta and combiner Ex-S too someday)

>>7055124 What's the matter son, worried someone might not approve of your metal toys?

>>7055126 No, just worried about your pathological hatred of something so insignificant that you shit your pants every time someone posts something related to diecast.
It's seriously unhealthy.

>>7055131 Not him, but I can kind of understand the aversion to metal when considering that any metal-on-plastic interface would wear down eventually. It's physics.

>>7055135 Well any toys joints are gonna wear down eventually. Plastic on metal wears a lot less than metal on metal and you still get some of the additional durability on what could be some breakage prone pieces. Hi metal R is a good example, there’s parts on the Valkyries that would easily snap if they were plastic. This zeta is probably going overboard with metal but like the other anon said you’re much more likely to ruin the fragile matte paint they use on ver ka figures transforming it long before the joints give out.

>>7054709 I thought it came with a part to have it as a single sword. I'm seeing that in the review pics too, or does it somehow differ?

>>7056240 It comes with that. What I'm saying is I wish it had also come with a part to replicate this:
