Man, I wish they didn't put a blank one in there... I can't imagine that's a set up many people will use.

I think they went with the blank VF-1 because the white armor was the first test print to be fitted onto the VF-1 and test fitting parts could damage the paint.  The grey armor was printed after the white one, I am assuming they made revisions when printing the grey version so better tolerances to not damage the paint on the VF-1J.

Just went on Fext Hobby's FB page and thought you might be interested for those that are not on FB.

Here's the rundown for the "Project 600": Owl One 1/60 Armour Update (as per their post):

""PROJECT 600" will be ended tomorrow (1 Dec., 2018), it's a pity we still haven't got enough pre-orders to kick off the project. We want to thank you again for backers for the support & made the pre-orders for this campaign.

RE: EXTENDED PROJECT 600! (As of January 31, 2019)

We think PROJECT 600 is still a potential campaign, so we would like to extend the project time for 3 more months (ends on 1 Mar., 2019) for a better campaign with new Armour color options!

We would like to increase the Armour options to 5 instead of 2, so Fans can have more choices! For those backers who already paid are free to change the color options by informing our CS dept. (cs@fexthobby.com).

New pre-order information of new color options will be posted in our online store in 2 days!

The project schedule will be same as before, in coming 3 months, if we receive 600 pre-orders (Assorted style), we will officially start the mould & bring this item alive in another 5 months (excluding factory new year vacation from mid of January, 2019 – end of February, 2019).

A deposit of U$15. is required for each Pre-order (Product Price: US$ 77.90). Deposit will be refunded if the campaign doesn’t reach 600 pcs. pre-order after 3 months. Incase the campaign successfully reaches the target, deposit is not refundable & all supporters need to pay the balance before delivery of the goods (individual mail will be sent to all supporters to finish the complete deal!).

Remarks: Shipping charge to be advised separately once final packaging format fixed.

NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO BRING THE PROJECT ALIVE!

PAYMENT RETURN for Backers:
For backer who needs refund, pls. mail order details to cs@fexthobby.com, we shall follow your case accordingly."

Note: They're still missing a lot of pre-orders as per the write up 9 weeks ago.

I believe that that they still haven't met the 600 pre-orders requirement to make the 1/60 Thunder Hummer Armoured Set. 

@Saburo: Any further details that you might want to add since your working with Fext Hobby to get exposure on this project?

@borgified I don't have much info to add, they have told me that they have not reached 600 pre-orders yet, about a little over 50% to the goal. I am hoping that my photos helps get the project to its goal.

They should just combine A/B and C/D and either drop E or make it a one-off with all possible weapons and armor.....maybe they would get their pre-orders if customers/fans felt they were get more for their money. Nahhhh!!! ^_^

Totally agree with this. Even though I’ve mentioned my dislike of the milking they do, I still try to support and promote them but it is pretty clear most fans that know about this are not biting.

I have been waiting a for a while but I can finally tell you about the New FEXT SCI-FI 03 display unit. This was a design collaboration between myself and Fext Hobby, I designed it to be usable for various sized figures/mecha, it can be a display/diorama or as photobooth.

Here are pics from FEXT Hobby/FEXT System.  More information is coming.

Very nice. I like that it’s plug and play. I have a bunch of the msg chain bases which are nice but I feel like you have to paint them to reach their full potential. The printing on these adds a lot of depth.

I am pretty sure yes to everything except for mid height tile, that I am not sure on.  The official part list will be on the Pre-order page which should be out soon.
