calubin_175 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I find it surprising how it could still become Gerwalk by reusing parts from the other two modes, given the obscurity of the transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 That shot seems to make the difference in canopies fairly obvious. I can't say I'd noticed that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 The 31C has the black paint around it and the 31A has an extra clear part in front. Differences from the pic should be a combination of paint and angle of POV. If compared from the side, the canopies are essentially the same. nice catch mickyg! can someone link me or tell me the cueword to search that Base Dio by Tomytec? here you go.....http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-SCL2-55744&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dtomytec+gimix%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 search for tomytec gimix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Well, the Yellow 13 kit definitely has "ASU-DECA" decals, despite me looking all over for something that matched the example pics.

Major Focker Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 here you go.....http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-SCL2-55744&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dtomytec+gimix%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1 search for tomytec gimix i think those are tarmac bases. what chyll2 might be asking about are the carrier decks with blast shields. i'm not aware of the gimix line having released any carrier decks, though i hope they will. carrier decks in 1/144 are rather hard to come by, more so those with blast shields.

chyll2 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yeah.. I was referring to the one with blast shield. It was shared back in the vf-1 tomytec thread. Well, I already found my answer that it is no longer in production. Irc, that is from Aviation Fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Hmm wonder if one can find a blast shield @1/144 scale to go with these...Tomytec should release some with blast shields, since they have it in their diorama.. http://www.coastalkits.co.uk/newstore/ http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-144-SCALE-DISPLAY-BASES-/111500667317?var=&hash=item19f5f529b5:m:m_pZ4gdo3feYQr9-bSwn08w Edited May 26, 2016 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 So this isn't exactly related, but while I was perusing the HLJ sale, I came upon this F-15 with a "Nipako" design: http://hlj.com/product/TMT27759/Air Anyone know what this is about? It looks cute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's some creepy moe character made up to promote the plakit hobby in general, cuz apparently creepy moe anime girls make anything marketable *cough*kancole*cough* notice she's carrying Nippers. her name is Nipa - Ko, which basically means Nipper Kid....... http://www.28ko.jp/ Edited June 11, 2016 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayaxr Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster here.So from what I can gather has been discussed here, the Tomytec offering of the "2 kits in 1 box" which is essentially a battroid + fighter which then lets you parts-form the gerwalk is looking to be interchangeable even after initial assembly/glue?Loving the look of these kits, they are very small but the level of detail included seems very interesting and a great setpiece once its built up.Also pre-ordered the 1/72 kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 VF-31S fighter mode ordered. Decided I'm just gonna collect this line in Fighter mode only, with maybe just one Battroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pre-ordered the 1/72 kits Welcome to the forums! If you are referring to the VF-1's..http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43003&page=3 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43480&page=3 They come with T-bar tabs on the body, so if you do not add adhesive to the modular blocks, they should be reconfigurable (in the VF-1 solution). The tomytec VF31's arent as clearly shown on the modular blocks, but would think that they should follow the same method.

ayaxr Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Welcome to the forums! Thanks! Ok thanks for the clarification. Really hopeful that the VF-31s use the same build structure as the VF-1s and would still be interchangeable after assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electric indigo Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is that a VF-1EX box in the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Behind the 31J and 31A? Judging by what I can see of the placard, that's another VF-31. (I can barely make out the top of "VF-31 Siegfried.") Maybe the 31J Gerwalk box? Or the 31C? Whichever is Mirage's. Maybe a 31J/31C two-fer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Yup, it's the C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayaxr Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Will the VF-31C be getting a battroid version so you can combine for gerwalk like the J? Has it been announced anywhere. I would assume so she's much more of a lead than Arad and he got a version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'm sure the plan is to have a battroid kit to go with the fighter to make the gerwalk on all releases otherwise they probably wouldn't do the fighter in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayaxr Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Glad to see I'm not the only one praying for that. It would be glorious. A 1/144 beautifully detailed armored VF-25S.... *faint* I assume this is TomyTec's first incursion into Macross first with the VF-1 kits and now these? I can't help but think this is going to be a smashing success for them which would open the door to future releases from the Macross franchise. *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'd love to see them release every Macross valkyrie in fighter mode at least. I'll buy one of each for sure! Already have all the Delta valks preordered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 So, question about these, how big are the boxes for them? I'm assuming pretty small, but I'm thinking about grabbing a few and wondering how many I have space in my closet for. I'm starting to think getting the DXs might not be worth the struggle, and these will be much easier to display, and a whole heckuva lot cheaper.

ayaxr Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Anyone have any clue on the release date for the VF-31J? HLJ has it down as this month, but I'm getting a bit jittery as some of my stuff in the private warehouse will reach 60 days on the 22nd and I'll have to end up shipping out my loot possibly before this is released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 So looking forward to reviewing the VF-31A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
