Bandai DX Chogokin VF-171EX Nightmare Plus Alto Saotome Custom review for CollectionDX

[@rave1X]

Nothing like a complicated and satisfying veritech fighter to make me wanna watch my old robotech DVD's

[@tagrastic91]

Awesome review. I just got the regular Grunt Nightmare Plus w/ its Armor parts, and seeing you transform it really helped. Its my first DX Chogokin and I was scared to even apply any kind of pressure to move parts as I'm more of a model kit builder. I'm thinking of getting one more Nightmare Plus and Alto's to make a squad display.

Thank you for posting this video! While I am late to the party I just got one in today and figuring out Battroid mode had me confused. All good now. MW!!

[@eventfulnonsense]

Always been fascinated with these toys. Putting these into actual transformation seems kinda tricky and difficult. And would be a miracle or technological marvel if they'll actually build one that practically can do battle.. just a thought..lol!

[@CyberSammael]

Given Bandai's current release distribution, you can't get one even if you wanted one on pre-order. They sold out in minutes across stores online. Maybe a second release will happen, but given how well the 29 did even on a second run, you would need to be pretty lucky and quick to even get one then.

Great review ! But tranformation is terrible complicated ! The old "classic" valkyrie is the best.

[@scavengers19]

What a great collection you got there! Give it to me!

[@blammers]

I am so jealous you got this. I don't understand why Bandai would bother with going through all the production involved with a VF and then hardly even make any.

[@Aseesl8er]

when you have loose diecast ball joints, how do you tighten them. The screws are already really tight but the joint is still loose. use crazy glue?

[@RichformO4]

Trying to look for a macross fig to get maybe. This here looks icing on the cake. xd ^^

[@xxxx5997]

great job!

[@envygrunge]

Do you need to lubricate all the joint so easier to transform?

[@cadsux]

The plastic is like some of the Yamato Valkyries, styrene (model kit) not ABS quality. The review shows the armpit plastic (shown around 8:55 & 25:10) is very thin, plus plastic thicknesses vary. The diecast upper arms & ankles are sturdy, but the hip diecast area is unstable. I've collected transforming toys since the 80s & I feel the recent Bandai Macross items are well detailed, but average quality & way overpriced. I have 3rd party transformer toys that even beat these hands down.

[@kairus1]

why have open comments if your not going to answere any questions?

[@RoyFokker93]

How fragile is the figure? (asking because I got the old and cheap plastic VF-25S)

[@bbsmith1000]

Wear did you get this at

[@AirsoftFaction]

where did u find this ?

[@Slayershoop]

your best bet now is Mandarake

[@SHADOSTRYKR]

how much and where to buy?

[@janeidref]

dont think you can get one kinda cheap since this just came out

[@kidspartan11]

where can i get one kinda cheap?

[@theouterarrowhead]

What scale is that?

[@rave1X]

NUNS?

[@cnayr143]

Big black triangle..lol

[@andyquibell4038]

The transformation made me cringe haha. Tried mine and already saw crack on both sides of the small black hinge! I aborted! lol

[@Eagle1oh7]

Those are Macross Valkyries not Homotech Varitechs.
