Re: Macross Toy Reviews

Tokyo-hunter has one left it seems for about $135. Still better than some places, but price definitely went up.

Nippon-Yasan is also good for these sorts of exclusives, but they tend to jack...

Gerwalk mode:

Re: Macross Toy Reviews

I've had this for a couple months I think. I didn't realize I never posted the review until now. Huh. Anyway, what I have here is the VF-25S Armoured Parts from Bandai. Let's get to it.

Re: Macross Toy Reviews

The grappling hooks are used in the anime to quickly tether Michael to a solid surface, like an asteroid, so he can get the kill shot. They are individually articulated at the end. A really, really...

Gerwalk mode: the gun shows away easily underneath. You can put the gun in its hand, but it is so long, it is kind of awkward. Still looks badass though.

Re: Macross Toy Reviews

Thanks! The main difference is the torso and the hips. The torso slides easily up and down and it's tougher to lock down. The 17 is pretty straightforward where as the 171 has more flaps and you have...

Comparison:

This part is exciting, as this is the first time we could compare modern 1/60 scale valkyries between Bandai and Yamato.

Fighter mode: this is where the two valks are best...

Battroid mode: this is what you get when you get a football player with skinny legs. Battroid mode is great looking, albeit a bit top-heavy. The figure is very dynamic with excellent articulation....

This is where the valk shines. I think this is where it looks the best. The problem though is the large wings. The wings, because they also have the boosters, seem unusually large,...

So the right wing on my renewal VF-25S was loose right out of the box. This is a problem that many people had when they got their valk. Simple solution that involves, yet again, krazy glue:

I'm covering something different in this post. If you own a Bandai DX Chogokin Valkyrie, eventually joints will go floppy. They just will. It doesn't matter if you have a v1 VF-25, or a v2, the...
