Well its been quite a while since I posted last on Figure.fm, but as they say "good thing come to those who wait," or something of that nature.
Roll call:
DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie (Saotome Alto custum)
For some reason the YF-29 gives me thoughts of both the VF-19 (from Macross Plus and Macross 7) and the SV-51 (from Macross Zero) because of the forward-swept wings and its canards. What are you guys thoughts on that?
I think its kind of cool with forward-swept wings on fighters, just look up the Sukhoi Su-47 its the real life version of that design. To bad hasn't the abilities of a Valkyrie, though when I think about it maybe its for the best that it has not. hehe
no geawalk mode?
I tend to keep my Valkyries in fighter mode.
SO jealous, I've always wanted to get my hands on one of these -- mainly the Alto one.
I've ended up collecting quite a few of them. I have 6 at the moment. The good thing about them is the high display value, get tired of fighter mode and you just switch it in to batteroid mode.
The wings seems a bit short...or can it expand a little bit more?
No they are like that, though you can swivel them round.
You CAN extend them. Don't you read the manual? Even the box behind your valk show them being extended. Go search some video reviews on Youtube if you need help on transforming. I bet you didn't know that YF-29 has a hidden extendable turret...
I do know about the extendable turret. I'm a don't read the manual kind of guy though. Well, I better check that out sooner or later! hehe
