The 1/48's are a very worthy purchase. I suggest you get at least one.
SEELE01:
Sir, I have a couple of bit's I'd like to point out from your review if you don't mind. ;D
Wouldn't it be cool for the visor to glow? Sorry this is just a lighting effect.
The eyepiece technicall is composed of several sensor arrays and cameras for the battroid. It's not supposed to glow or light up. Only Toynami added that feature which is incorrect.
The seams are not present on all 1/48's. I have 8, and only 2 have this problem. It's a QC issue, but not very big a problem.
You're referring to the landing lights, and yes, I do agree that using 'reflectorized' clear plastic would have been better.
The head seam isn't really 'infamous.' It's only like that because some morons over at Macross World made it so. By design, the seam is inevitable.
This has been an issue since the first 1/48 release. It's because of the molds. Yamato has already confirmed that.
It's a manufacturing 'must.' All manufacturers leave their mark on visible areas.
That's the space for the arm joints to swing out from. I'd rather that design, than have to fully unfold the legs to get the arms out, ala the 1/55's.
The back view in gerwalk doesn't look good as if there is a major part missing underneath. Yamato could have compensated for this at least by supplying a cover plate.
There's no need because there are no back plate covers in the original line art. Partly because most of the machinery of the Valkyrie is stored in the legs, and in between the chest and back panels.
Practicality wise, there's no room for it.
Anywhoo, that's about it.
I hope this helps clear some items up.
your comments reminds me of someone else i've known from the past... i have this funny feelings
