Just need to replace the name on the cockpit to make it a proper Hikaru TV skull leader. That is an excellent shot @Lolicon!! I love the added details! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spacemanoeuvres 295 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Excellent. I hope we get the VE-1 and Cannon Fodder at some point. Low Viz Woodland, Low Viz Color, and Stealth would also please me and destroy my bank account They should pull a Yamato and release giant gift sets (with SSP) as well as stand alone. I have no clue what I would do with my Yamato's after that tho haha Edited January 15 by spacemanoeuvres I like toys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CF is most likely with possibly Alaska Base and Virgin Road if Bandai does go ahead with it. Right now, we're stuck with the Yammie 1/48 variants for now, or unless there's a TWE DX offering for those obscure versions. Edit: A possible DX VE-1??

jenius 1,213 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Remember, yamato non canon variants sold poorly, part of the reason Yamato went the kit route. Bandai does non canon stuff too though.. like their Focker inspired themes on other vehicles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bandai's known for showing lots of stuff, canon or non-canon and not producing it in the end. But I'm pretty sure if that gets released, it's going to be the TWE route.

If Mirage's red is not matching Hikaru's red, then I'll just go with Hayate's model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are designed to hold it pointed up at the underside of the nose, because BANDAI. You have to bend the arms so they drop entirely free of those pegs before the gunpod will sit level with super packs. I figured out why bandai's super parts design hold the gunpod at such a wonky angle. They made the gunpod extra thicc first, without thinking about super parts fighter mode with the landing gear out. If they had given the DX "normal" arm units with a straight gunpod mount, the extra large DX gunpod would impact the ground, and the super valkyrie would be unable to sit on its landing gear. Keep in mind, I'm not defending bandai here at all. It was a dumb decision that I disagree with. Just another tiny nitpick that prevents me from declaring the DX the "ultimate" VF-1 toy over the Yamcadia 1/60 V2. I would say Yamcadia appreciates fighter / battroid 50/50, while Bandai has a clear preference for battroid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
