I finally got my hands on a DX VF-25 Messiah toy by Tamashii a few weeks ago. I was impressed by it, it feels like the 2nd most durable Macross VF toy(the first being the 1/55 VF-1). I was impressed by the gloss finish, durability/sturdiness, painted details, and ease of transformation. With that said, it could be better, hence this thread.

So post your recommendations on how Tamashii/Bandai can make this toy better. There are changes, some even small, that can make this a much better toy. Here are mine:

• Thigh swivels. It would aid gerwalk mode articulation immensely.
• More range of motion in both directions for the knees. Also aids in gerwalk mode.
• More range of motion in the ankles. Note: more articulation that helps the gerwalk mode also helps the battroid mode
• Tighter crotch lock connection
• More secure connection for hip armor parts.
• Better paint sealant, the paint scratches off easily
• Longer nose landing gear
• Universal movement, detented/ratcheted shoulder joints instead of ball joints. I can see how the shoulder ball joints can loosen over time.
• Shoulder articulation that can move more independently of the shoulder block(as in the shoulder armor/guard not moving with the arm itself from side to side).
• Fold in gunclip for the gun
• Hands and guards molded as one piece
• Tighter ball joint connection for the hands, as they are prone to looseness under the weight of the gun.
• Unique chest/back sculpts for each variation of the VF-2(RV/F/G/S) like on the model kits, which is more accurate.
• Leg armor parts that do not block range of motion for the knees
• More range of motion to the front for the thighs aft of intakes.
• More ratchets all around
• A strong ratchet to keep the waist locked forward after unlocking and separating from beneath the cockpit in battroid mode. This would make things so much easier and secure when posing
