    Yes, the beam gun moves down slightly to clear the crotch and extends to open position to fire in fighter mode. I posted screen caps of this previously, I think it was in Messer's death episode thread. This can be replicated in the Bandai 1/72 model kit.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    It's usually on the last day of the month, 30th or 31st, but they occasionally release a few days earlier. I know Christmas is not big in Japan, but every December when there's new Macross stuff coming out, I do wish Bandai would spare a thought for their overseas customers and actually release new products in the first one or two weeks of December, so that we could get the items in time for Christmas. It would be really nice to have the new VF-31J DX under the tree in time to open for Christmas.

    Watched about a month ago, quite enjoyed it.

    Because the forward swept wing of the Delta VF-31 J/C/F/S/C is optimized for low speed, high angle of attack atmospheric maneuvering.

    The RE movie series is a guilty pleasure of mine. Saw them all at the cinema, own them all on DVD. I love Milla Jovovich. I only played a couple of the games, the first and fourth I think, and then not really that much, so it doesn't bother me if the movies crap all over the games. I don't care, I have no emotional investment in the games. But as leave-your-brain-at-the-door, action movies with some zombies and monsters and a hot female lead, I've always found the RE movies to be good mindless fun.

    Looking quite good in the photos so far IMO, certainly better than the CM's iteration. Like others have said though, I do hope it has some sort of extendable neck joint. However, at this point in time based on their VF-2SS debacle, I really have no confidence in Evolution's ability to make a fun, non-frustrating transforming toy, made of quality materials, that locks together well. So, I will not be an early adopter of this and will not pre-order. I'm going to take a cautious, wait and see approach, before spending my hard earned cash. Also, I really need to see it in Fighter mode before even considering whether I may buy this at some point in time. Evolution...........fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me

    As I've said before, I hope we get a season 2 of this with budget for more mecha combat. Seems 7 episodes is gonna be a bit tight to tie up everything, unless we get a really rushed ending. And more time really needs to be spent of developing some of the supporting characters as well. Chuck, Arad and Mirage have hardly had any screen time recently. Feels like we hardly know them.

    Definitely looks like a VF-31A to me too. Can see what appears to be the canards on the shoulders.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    With the lack of significant mecha action in Delta recently and the difficulty of securing a VF-31J on pre-order, I'm kinda staring to get a bit disillusioned. I miss the Macross Frontier renewal toy days, when we could at least rely on Nippon Yasan for securing a pre-order, even if it was at slightly inflated prices.

    I never get the whole we must show blockbusters only in the summer or at Christmas thing. I'll go to see a movie or take my kid to see a movie anytime of the year if it's a good movie that I want to see. Graham

    Damn! As expected, but still damn! I so want a nice VF-2SS with SAP, but this is really NOT the droid I'm looking for. Ah well, maybe one day, bandai or Arcadia will step up to the plate. Glad I decided not to buy the SAP. Graham

    Damn, still no Deadfish
  18. Graham
    I'll probably go to see this and damn the reviews.

    Just curious, why are you writing "Val" rather than the generally accepted "Var" or official BD/DVD translation "Vär"?
  20. Graham
    I wanna see Arad kick more ass, like he did way back in episode 0.89/01 against the Var'd Zentradi.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Kinda surprised and a bit worrying that Nippon-Yasan hasn't started the round two offers yet at slightly inflated prices.

    Damn, sightseeing in Foshan China when the pre-order opens. Won't be back to the hotel and Wi-Fi access until several hours after it opens.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I really like what I'm seeing too.

    Having the front guns mounted so low down on the front of that tank is pretty silly, no way to elevate or depress them and looks like very limited side to side movement as well. So you'd basically have to move the whole tank to aim them. And why are the mounted so low, are they for shooting people in the ankles? Oh well, at least it has additional guns mounted on the side it what look like rotating turrets.

    From the video, the poseable hand is definitely stored inside the wing. During the transformation at 01:07 on the video you can see the person doing the transformation moving the fingers on the hand after the hand has been deployed from the wing. Also, where to you get the idea that you have to swap parts to deploy the landing gear? At 00:43, we can see the rear landing gear wheels being rotated what looks like 180 degrees on the strut before the kneecap is closed and the landing gear stowed.
