This was an insta buy for me since I absolutely adore suits with high heels. I painted mine white with red accents which ended up giving it a more medic look especially with the shield as it is. Not sure about the face though but it kinda grew on me.
I’ve been struggling with red/white color schemes and the term “medic” actually gives me a clearer and less accidental candy cane look when it comes to customs I wanna do. Thanks I guess lol!
i've always thought the graze and Valkyrie helmets were broadly styled after late knight helmets, nicely rounded with an articulated visor that can be opened for improved visibility. the Valkyries seem to be a bit more elaborate and stylized than the grazes, which given the suits rarity and prestige is also somewhat unsurprising given the stylistic choices made for more prestigious or ceremonial armors historically. or so basically the upper vision slit on the grimgerde and sigrun is more appropriate for the eyes while the lower plate is reminiscent of breathing slits in historical pieces. these stylistic flourishes are absent from the more mass produced graze and reginlaze as they are much less functional or necessary with the more modern optics fitted to the newer machines.
watching this from school so no audio, but i bulked out the sigrun's shoulders using the grimgerde shoulders and switched out the waist unit for the grimgerde as well. this made my sigrun have more of a paladin kind of look and if you want to customize the sigrun i think you should experiment with the grimgerde :D
I think the lower face part is more of just a neck guard type plate. It may have visual sensors but as we know with most head cameras they dont necessarily mean eyes
zup Zack, like this kit, I guess it brings memories from the anime, which I enjoyed a lot. really cool to see not a lot of stickers with it. This kit screams to me: "customize me' with some paint separation, some scribing. I personally don't like the high heels, on any of the IBOs kits, but I just overlook it, lol thanks for the video bro, keep them coming.
It really has nice design and construction, I'm just not a big fan of the color scheme. Hope the Oltlinde (?), which is another Valkyria frame, gets a release as a kit too.
How do you approach painting the pipes in the frame with markers? (The ones that are supposed to be white) I've tried on other kit with that frame and a Gundam Marker EX White, but the tip is too big for such a small gap between the pipe and the frame. Maybe dropping a bit of marker and using a brush?

Nah, too stumpy for my taste. I like slender suits instead of big bois.
ew heels are terrible
How dare you...

Love this kit so much. What a beautiful machine. Deserves the spotlight!

I think according to the box picture, eyes are at the lower part, great review as usual thank you !

Sigrun to me is almost like a Gyan: IBO version

I see Sigrun as IBO universe's take on the UC Gyan Krieger
i expected the prce to be similar to the grimgerde but its more. Do you feel the same Zach?
I do really like the color scheme, but I feel it needs a little contrast. Maybe some copper paint for the pipes on the frame?
the design of this MS makes me think of the Mortar Headds from Five Star Stories.
I wish Bandai would pick up the rights to the Five Star Stories because some Gunpla quality mortar headds would be awesome
there's very few IBO suits that catch my attention, but this is one of them
Is it possible to flip the “wings” on the helmet backwards? I feel like that would look great
Looking forward to a 1/100 FM.
Omg the face split makes it look like the mom from the Beetlejuice movie
I want a 1/100 version of this to make up for the non-existent reprint of the 1/100 Grimgerde. Please Bandai reprint it!
Give it 3 or 2 year from now
Last time i see 1/100 seed was like.... 2018? Since its 2nd release in 2012?
this looks really good

a shame that he has no long range weapons and that the front skirt cant be divided to be more little (like the grimgerde one)

And down here!
Reminds me a bit of the GNX especially around the thighs/skirts. Overall seems like a really nice addition to the line, even if I hate the weapon. XD
it reminds me of Silver chariot
It kind of gives me some Armored Core vibes
You must be referring to the Armored core "YH12-Mayfly" head unit it does look very similar.
I've found the quality of IBO kits to be very good; lots of original designs, too. Not boring!
