From what I read. It seems that ALL VF27 will come with the one of the images on the back. Whereas the second image will be on the back of the re-issue of VF-25F and the limited pro shop version.

Can anyone confirm that?

Can anyone who can read Japanese shed some light on this subject?

Thanks

I'm curious. How big is a 1/72 Monster compared to say a Bandai 1/72 VF-25 kit?

Sorry if this has already been discussed but is this "Ranka Valk Girl" going to be made into an actual kit release?

VF27 - That is one ugly gerwalk mode.

some more pics of my VF25F

Well done!

How did you get that weathered look on the feet?

I would go for the Armored Alto, since I think the white/red scheme looks better, plus Alto gets a sniper rifle in addition to his standard gunpod.

Things are different if you already have another version of Alto already or something.

I'm in the same dilemma. I know that Armored alto has the sniper rifle and that white/red looks quite good. But Ozuma just isn't Ozuma if he's not armored. If only they gave ozuma the sniper rifle. Actually this puzzles me. At the same price, what does Armored Ozuma have over Alto? It doesn't make sense for Alto to have more for the same cost.

Warerarorikonda!

I got them from the Deculture Campaign a few months back. I ordered my initial kits from HLJ and they included them.

Currently have two Altos and one Ozma, and getting Armored Alto and Ozma this month.

Holding out on Super Pack bundles for Michael and Luca, but I'm not sure that's ever going to happen.

What are you going to do with so many kits of the same plane? :s

I'd rather get one of each.

I'd be annoyed at the lack of custom decals, but I have the first Sheryl and Ranka decal sheets and I know it's going to be a long, long time, if ever, before I get around to building another VF-25F to use them on. I thought "Do I really want to build four Altos? Three Ozmas? etc etc"

It's a clever strategy on Bandai's part to get us to buy more kits.

How'd you get them? Do you have 4 of each? :s

Funny I just explained to a friend what loli is.

Any word on the new Deculture / Itashi decals?

Do they come with the new kits (ala the VF-25s FAST Pack kit) or do you get them some other way?

Yeh those are hot. I want more info too.

Anyways I contacted R10 about the custom decals and here's the exchange:

Hello,

I'd like to ask how you will be distributing the special custom decals (Sheryl and Cathy) that were given to your shop with MACROSS F ARMORED VF-25S OZMA and MACROSS F ARMORED VF-25F ALTO. As I think you don't have enough for everyone I'd like to know how it will be distributed. Will it be at random on whoever preorders or will it be the people who preorders the earliest or will it be available to anyone who orders until you run out?

Thanks

Dear customer,

Thank you for your E-mail. Sorry at this moment we don't offer the decal because there is really slight supply of it, and it's quite unfair to give it only 2 or 3 people. So we just do not accept any decals from suppliers.

Rainbow Ten

I'm sure the situation is similar at all shops but how they handle it (random pre-orders, first ones to pre-order get them) is anyone's guess. But 2 or 3 people? REALLY? I'd think a shop as big as R10 would get a bit more respect.

The biggest questions I have atm is regarding the set of closed fists that comes with the armored bundle and if there was a standalone kit would it include them. I couldn't be bothered to check up the runner pics so I'm gonna be mean and throw this question at you guys XD. And to answer fufufu's question I think that they will just randomly attach the decals to a few lucky preorders like what they did before.

Really? That's a shame. Had I known this was the case I would have pre-ordered!

Has anyone been lucky enough to get their Ozuma yet? With Cathy decals?????

Aw, thats disappointing. Cathy decals > shery/ranka decals.

I wonder if they are going to release the Armored pack standalone in a similar way to the Super pack where it had decals/stickers for all 4 (or at least 2) fighters. I guess they don't have to, considering how greatly demanded the full sets are >_>

Btw, with the missile doors opening in the manner mentioned above, doesn't it seem like it could potentially slap Ozma right in the face if he looked in any direction but directly forward? >_>

Yes, very disappointing. So what does happen to the decals? Will the shops sell them as limited edition decals or would they include them in later batches when sales begin to drop?

Also. Ozuma is too badass to need to look at where he's firing. He just need to remain in a cool pose and his vibes will do the rest.

I noticed in the HobbySearch pictures that there were no Cathy Glass decals T_T Maybe the suppliers will throw it in the box afterwards.

Yeah from the looks of Hobbysearch's images it doesn't come with custom decals. Can anybody confirm?

Since the Armored Alto isn't out yet, we won't know for sure what parts have been changed to fit the original model. Colors will have to be repainted on your own.

Thanks for that. I guess I'll just have to wait.

About painting. What's the best way to go about it? From what I've read, airbrush gives the best result? How bout spray can vs a brush with wet paint?

Hey guys, I've been a long time lurker.

I have already decided to buy most/all the different valks. But there's some quick questions I'd like to ask.

If I bought the super Ozuma + alto armour. Am I able to have the two use each other's special parts? ie. build a armoured Ozuma + Super Alto? What will I have to do about the colours though?

If you can do the above, is it a good idea? ie. will there be problems when try to fit the parts.

The reason I ask is that I think Ozuma's armoured version looks the best while the armoured Alto comes with sniper rifle win.
