VF-25 Transformation Part 1 (Plane to GERWALK to Battriod)

[sohbenji87]

is this the GE-54 VF-25F or the GE-42 VF-25F?

[tdragon360]

gerwalk mode s very nice looking compared tot he other versions of the valkyria i think, also is this the first version they released? i bought a alto custom vf-25f super messiah.. and HOLY mackeral it is really fiddlely and fragile.... and the landing gears don't fold in!!!

[Cobra11437]

Nice.. I just started watching frontier it's pretty good. The valks are nice just not so much in gerwalk mode! Nice fighter mode...

[ThomasAtlus]

The model that I have right now is really great, but for some odd reason the Gerwalk mode refuses to stand up without falling over when the feet are extended outwards. Am I doing something wrong?

[bubbabears77]

wow wtf

[pspmaster510]

do u have to build this or does it come like this

[nightslash3535]

@pspmaster510 It comes like this, the one you have to build looks much better and cheaper but requires advanced modeller skills.

[cholomackdaddy]

Dude i got the 170

[TheStephenShow]

This should be used for kit bashing g1 jetfire.

[soulofhiroshi]

would you reccomend this? is it worth the money cuz bandai i a good brand from my past experiences with it

[Xephon0930]

As sleek and awesome these Valkyries are,I will always have a thing for the VF-1S.

[Xephon0930]

The newer generation Valkyries are a lot lighter and more compact than their VF-1 counterparts.

[firerzero]

can you add the super pack on the Vf -25?

[Wizartar]

@firerzero yes, there's a super pack.

[roblanco]

What scale is this model and does the cockpit open? I got the VF-1A from Yamato and it's and incredible piece of technology. From what I've heard and what I see here the Bandai and Yamato models are not only the best out there but also handle very similar technology.

[Wizartar]

@roblanco Its 1/60 scale and the cockpit doesn't open

[mikespiegel]

@Wizartar The cockpit does open. It's is shown in the instructions and is easy to do. I had more problems opening the cockpit of the Yamato YF-19.

[lukspiderman]

OMFG OMFG OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cosbusta]

Wow, with every generation the toys get more and more complicated.

[mourningstar01]

dont care for the planes looks but the gerwalk and battlroid look pretty bad ass!

[Wizartar]

It makes me sad! :(

[hazdude222]

does anyone else find this slighlty sad?

[kingkongbassbeat]

This thing is a bitch to transform if you got the model kit.

[krissthebliss]

dude were did you buy the transformable v-25?? I cant find it from my local stores here in the philippines

[Wizartar]

HobbyLink Japan

[areasevenpro]

If you live in Manila, you'll find plenty of VF-25 toys in Greenhills. Just look for GreatToysOnline and Wasabi Toys on the top floor of Shoppesville.

[conyaks]

@krissthebliss yo, you can buy them @ greenhills!!!

[zeoncrux]

@krissthebliss dude... try searching on Fb Coldfire Gundam.. he sells VFs... :3

[YaminoSeigi]

man this Plastic model is pretty difficult to transform because when i try to transform from fighter to Battroid, i am afraid that i twist the joint in wrong way and it will snaps. luckily the joint is a bit tougher. i had the Michael one

[BSGNUT]

Hey there,

I have found the way to fully get the neck and head area into their maxmum position and height. The chest piece needs to be pivoted even further down than what you have shown in your video to lock the neck and collar assembly to display properly. The head, neck and collar will make the figure a lot more awesome. I have detailed photos if you'd like to see. send me a message with your email and I'd be glad to share!

-best, BSGnut

[gawei]

to be honest the 1s look a lot better in gerwalk am i right

[Wizartar]

LoL, I think just about every other VF looks better in GERWALK then this one!

[gawei]

lol yeah you right

[huamanJR]

Hey could u send me the link to the kit cuz i tried to look 4 it on hobby link and couldnt find it

[huamanJR]

u wouldnt know anything bout Robot World War kits would u?

[Wizartar]

While I've seen pictures of them, I don't know anything about them or even if they are based off an Anime.

[huamanJR]

no there not its base off of comic book artwork which is pretty kool no joke if ever do look into it i hope to see a review of the kit thnax for answerin my question

[huamanJR]

Oh i 4got the comic artwork is based by Ashley Wood

[nighthawk65928492]

where did you buy this?

[Wizartar]

I got this one at HobbyLink Japan

[ASCH16091987]

Are the tires on the landing gears made of rubber, or is it just plastic?

[Wizartar]

For this 1/60 scale they're rubber, 1/100 & 1/72 are plastic.

[626ViVi]

Just wanna add I enjoyed watching all your videos and more power to you cant wait to see more.

[Wizartar]

Thanks!

[626ViVi]

You have a very imporesive collections and videos well presented you make me feel like having the same hobby but may

I ask can you do a video on Bandai Macross Frontier 1/60 DX RVF-25 Chogokin GE-45 Ive seen one in ebay and I have save enough money to get one in ebay but wanna see your input before I buy my first model or display.

[Wizartar]

I have it, but haven't had time to review it yet. It's still in the box as I've no where to display it at the moment. I'll be doing a review of in the near future.

[gfskill]

The Macross series never dissapoint me. Every Generation of the Variable-Fighter gets more complicated than the other. First was the VF-1, then the VF-11, the VF-17, The VF-19 and VF-22, Now the VF-25 and the VF-27.

Did you know that the VF-25 was suppose to Transform like a VF-1 in Fighter-Gerwalk mode and like The VF-19 in Gerwalk-Battroid mode so that it can wear the Armored pack in Fighter Mode and inherit the varablility of the VF-1(since the VF-1 cant Use Armored Pack In Fighter mode)

[Wizartar]

Did not know that!

[ASCH16091987]

Actually, I guess that Shoji Kawamori wanted to combine all the Variable Fighters into one for the 25th anniverssary of Macross. But I guess that he wanted the VF-25 mainly to look like the VF-1, since it was his first creation, and first appeared on screen in Macross SDF(or Robotech), which was the first Macross seire ever.

[fca003]

Exactly, except that the nose brakes like the sv-51.

The position of the head and the superior part of the torso also remember to the sv-51.

[ASCH16091987]

This looks like the VF-1 combined with the SV-51 or the VF-19.

[kitchenknives]

is its name is VF-25 only..? sorry if i asked.

[Wizartar]

I have it down as this because its the same transformation for both the VF-25F & VF-25S

[PRBOY331]

how much did you pay for it including shipping and where

[Wizartar]

Any time I'm asked I'll always say the same thing too much! But look at somewhere HobbyLink Japan (HLJ), the price of shipping varies I got this send to Ireland so it won't be the same price for you. The price is on the site.

[BikerTrashWolf]

Posibly dumb question: I am guessing this si the prebuilt version. I am thinking of getting the Super Messiah Valkyrie Alto Custom kit. Having trouble finding any videos on the kit version.

[Wizartar]

Yes this one is the toy, but I've got the Ozma custom snap together model kit. I've uploaded an unboxing video showing all the parts. It's about 1/3 built hope to upload a comparison video next week, once it completed.

[nicolecron]

Great toy!!!

[559yANgstAR]

wheres the gun dude

[Wizartar]

This is just a transformation video. The gun is in the review vid.

[pundababa]

thank god for wizartar!!!!!

[HappyConsoleGamer]

Hey! great videos!! what camera you using? nicee HD!

[Wizartar]

Thanks, it's a Canon Vixia HF100.

[Nexxfr]

thank's a lot for your vidéos !

[Wizartar]

No problem XD

[pennsyr1]

That looks VERY cool. The degree of sophistication that the VF-25 holds over previous Variable Fighter designs just jumps in your face immediately.

I think I'll stick to my Yamato-brand VFs for the time being, though. Their "perfect transformation" designs have me spoiled, and the matter of Bandai's VF having to remove the shield to transform, or swap hands to hold the gun, is a bit of a turn-off.

[Wizartar]

yeah, the shield isn't to much of a big deal for me but the hand swapping was a little disappointing.

[eckergus]

Do you think Yamato will venture to produce a line of VF-25's?

[pennsyr1]

eckergus, right now Bandai has an exclusive license to do reproductions of Macross Frontier stuff. Yamato won't be able to touch the VF-25 until Bandai's license expires.

[eckergus]

I see. Thanks!

By the way, how do you know this? If you don't mind me asking.

[pennsyr1]

I got the lowdown from discussions on the MacrossWorld website forums. There's people there that eat, drink, and breathe anything and everything that has to do with Macross.

[eckergus]

Hahaha! It is true! Some guys even sweat Macross! XD

Thanks for the info!

[lianbee]

Awesome in Fighter and Battroid mode but has minor flaws. Interchangeable hands, limited movement on the hips and the peg near the waist line pops off quite easily. I'm getting the 1/72 model kit

[Wizartar]

True

[lianbee]

Hi Wizartar, I got Alto and Ozma Chogokin only but these minor defects are bothering me. On the other hand, Macross Frontiers are just too good to let go. I intend to get all 1/72 model kits. Hopefully these made in Japan kits holds better. regards

[Wizartar]

I've been looking at those kits, very nice! But my model building skills need more work, as the kit looks like it would require a good bit of painting & decal work. I've seen the decal sheet and it's freighting.

[lianbee]

You need to build more and the right tools plus lots of patience. I dont usually paint them but I do apply the stickers though. And to me that's tough to do and there is one thing I cant do till now is getting those "water based" stickers to stay on em. Perhaps you can get some tips from 2Old4Toys :)

[Wizartar]

I've been sticking to the Gundam & built 4 1/100s and am halfway through my first MG... so far so good. The plan is to try one more MG then pick up a 1/72 kit. While cheaper then a DX they're still not Gundam cheap so don't want to mess up the build because of some simple mistake. But also want to do all the panel lines & major colours right!

I'm sure 2Old4Toys is sick of me looking for advice off him! :) But that Man is a Gunpla Legend! Go to his channel and check it!

[lianbee]

Good thinking, the more you build the better you are. Skills will come along the way. Glad to hear you are doing the MG. And if u love Gunpla, PG is a must!! Once u get into PGs, there is no stopping for u. 2Old4Toys is a pro!! Good luck to u.

[lianbee]

Some of my favorite MGs - Infinite Justice, Wing Gundam Verka, Shin Musha, Hi-Nu Gundam, Strike Freedom Gundam, Force Impulse, MK II Titans,

[Wizartar]

I'll have to check some of them out.

[2Old4Toys]

Way Cool!

[Wizartar]

Cheers!
