a lot of method to remedy this. for me, glue works best. i tend to use UHU instead of super glue. put a few small drops on the male part of the joint and spread it evenly, leave it to dry then assemble. UHU dries soft and rubbery, unlike super glue that dries hard and flaky. plus, super glue causes those fogging thing on plastic.

works for making most joints stiffer.

wow, new vf-1 from bandai looks promising. any idea when it'll reach our shores. feels like i've waited so long for it.

dang!, it's even better than the vf-25: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2...tailed-in-video

wow, so finicky, complex and flimsy . might have to skip this one.......in favour of the "next-in-line" roy fokker version . i'd hate to go thorough the decal nightmare twice.

hahaha....that's why i only bought one design. i only have a vf-25s(super), total nightmare . so i can only bear it once more, for the heck of getting a new vf-1s, and removing my old bandai 1/72 kit out of the shelf.

isn't that the fun thing about this hobby. you spend a hell of a time to assemble and decal the thing. then have to spend more time to fiddle with the transformation.

there's always the overpriced yamato stuff if you want it easy.

that's the thrill of it! like getting some sort of sick pleasure from disarming a bomb. only a lot less dangerous EXTREME!!

dalong review's out for the new vf-1s/a kits. looks pretty awesome. kinda fragile, but anything is better than this old guy: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models/bandai/30497i.jpg

the vf-25 technically still a parts-former too (need to replace hands) . anyway, i'm in for roy focker's version.

the 25 is more futuristic, but nothing beats the classics.

plus, this is probably the best vf-1 kit that ever existed thus far. i'm a cheapskate, i'd rather not waste money on yamato's overpriced stuff.

can't really say that. they just copy the mold(they are pretty expert in that), but quality wise will still be shady. like how long would the joints last? parts fitting? quality of plastics? i'd buy one those for part/modding, not as the main display though.

9000yen? how much is that when it gets here?

WZC is easier i think. given the gun is lighter when separated. with WZC I can actually get it to hold the gun on both hands. it can get tricky and not that stable, but it's doable. (also the grey palm seems to hold better than the white one).
