There are a few tornado I believe, if its cheap enough I could consider, but I think I wait and see how my claim goes. Unfortunately for me this isn't the only missing item, I had another toy went missing as well.:(

If i know now i wouldn't have done starting with a rvf25 as a base ,i have to re-coat the whole figure in so many coats of white it not funny!

Nice work there. Interesting choice of Valk for the Prophecy. Would have thought you'd use your VF-25F and get a replacement of that. Wonder if you can put the radome on a VF-171 tho...

i choose the rvf because i had a spare that was lying around and also because of the head as well..i got the vf25f in tornado armor for display and im not going to buy another figure just for my first macross custom.. i was actually looking at doing a rvf171 cause now i got one spare radar dome :D it actually pretty easy to attach, you just need to drill small hole in the body to attach the stand for the dome ... the only problem is the radar antenna in the bottom....you cant use a stand if it down there ....

if i can get a cheap vf22 ...i like to a custom in this scheme....i call it fire and ice , in the macross the ride races :D what you guys think?

nice bro...he a great figure to play with and transform , as his joints are nice and stiff not like some of the other ones .

Severe lack of Yamato valks in this thread :( Not a fan of the awful Bandai MF valks.

Have ordered the Arcadia 30th VF-1J and preordered the Roy 1S and YF-19. Hopefully we see Max & Millia announcement soon.
