Tochiro Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) DYRL Shoulderpads/Chest Units will be available at the upcoming Summer Wonderfest on July 27. These were first sold at Winter Wonderfest earlier in the year. Once the existing units sell out, that's it. No more will be made, as far as I'm aware. As some may recall from Winter Wonderfest, this item was overseen by renown Macross artist Hidetaka Tenjin and are VERY limited in number. I know several MW members have already purchased these and I've heard nothing but positive feedback regarding them. We also discussed the shoulder pads on the SpeakerPODcast immediately after the last Wonderfest. I am able to accept requests from anyone interested in purchasing one of these and will be attempting to fill requests on a first-come-first-served basis (depending on demand at Wonderfest, there's no guarantee that all requests will be able to be filled). Price: 39800yen plus postage & paypal fees. (the kit has been tweaked over the last 6 months and now comes partially assembled) Anyone interested, please PM by JULY 19th at the ABSOLUTE LATEST. (Please note, that I'm going to be picking up shoulder pads ONLY and am not accepting orders for any other Wonderfest items.)

Jasonc Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I love my set. This is a great set to have. If you have the Yamato helmets, or plan to cosplay in this, it's a kit worth getting. Yes, it does require some work (I got the fully unassembled kit), but it does allow for some customization. I plan to set up some LED lighting in the life support monitor. It's a very nice kit. The fact that there are only a few days doesn't give you much time to dwell on it, but from my own opinion in having it, I'm quite thrilled to have it.

no3Ljm Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 This looks cool. Does the yellow shoulder strips lights up too like in the movie? Or like glow-in-the-dark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) That is awesome! I would like to get a set, but I have so many other things to pay for right now. Edited July 15, 2014 by Saburo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Lovely! Wait, how much several members here have it and it has all been hush hush, why no share the awesomeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 It's a great kit but it does require a lot of work. Maybe if you're an avid cosplayer with experience with constantly building this sort of thing. And the instructions are in Japanese obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tochiro Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hey there everyone! I will only be accepting orders for the next TWO days. Several board members have been in touch already. If you are interested in getting one of these limited items, please PM me ASAP Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tochiro Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks to everyone who go in touch! It's the 19th, so I will not be accepting any further orders for the DYRL shoulder pads. Be on the lookout for pics of a lot of MW members looking like hot shot jet jockeys in the near future :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Got some electrical parts to light it up, along with a switch for the lighting unit. I'll end up doing a build of it as time goes and I start work on it, in a different thread of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like me I know you ordered a 1:1 scale DYRL helmet. (Ichijo for me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
