exactly the art I was thinking about. I remember seeing that at about 1 inch high on the side of the vf-1j gerwalk kit box (when I was a kid). Seems like you know the history of it, care to expand on it? I was a big fan of all their box art.

Does the low visibility Roy Focker valk remind people here of anything? I couldn't help but think it was an homage to the box art of the vf-1s I'd seen 20+ years ago on an arii model kit. It's quite the famous pose with the left arm reaching out hand open, the right arm down and to the back gunpod in hand. The valk was definitley grey! If so I really hope they do a vf-1j with the paint scheme on the old arii box art whcih was a dark grey almost black color (especially on the gerwalk kit's box) with hints of blue in it and or course with hikaru's signature red stripe! I always wanted and dark colored vf-1j like that! What are the chances I'm right or that yamato would give us a dark vf-1j? Hmmm

All I can say is FINALLY!!! Dyrl Roy is good but I always wanted a tv Roy !

If thickness of the paint hs a concern, anyone try vinyl dye?

Heck yes I sooooooo want a vf-171 + all the anti vajra attachments! Can someone start a "pleAs bandai make a vf-171 thread?". Lol. They could so make good money. Sell the valk bare first. Then sell a gift set one with the beam cannon /mde/ armor. Heck they can even sellthe one with the big ass radar dome. Sell it at a smaller lremum than the vf-25 hero valk and you have a winner!!! Cmon!! Haha The shorter f-117a inspired nose of the vf-17 doesn't look as nice to my eye but I would like one of those too.

I got my tornado last week and I think the white is pretty much the same, although yes the other items seem correct. I don't have a stand alone release ti compare to, just what I've seen on display in a store and pictures online. There is a lot if bitching about the vf-25 toys (some of which I agree with . . . No bending the knee with super packs?!?) but I love the look of the toy- more so than the actual anorexic design in the anime. I love the tornado valk look and I hink it looks even better with the beam cannons removed!

pardon the ignorance but is this a model kit or their v2 toy unassembled?? And whered ya get it？

hey just wondering, how long does amiami take to confirm receipt of payment after you paypal them the funds? Doesn't seem instant like some sites.

reading this board looking at these pictures all the time made me like the tornado pack more and more. Placed an order with amiami just before when the website indicated 2 left! By the time I finished my order I checked just for kicks if it went down to 1. It reads 0 left out if stock now! I did get a confirmation of order application. Hoping that means I got 1 before they were all snached up! Looking forward to having a white colored alto valk finally! Now I'll have 2 alto and 3 different sets if armor though (I had planned in just picking up a stand Alone thus week at a local store to go with the heavy armor)

Hmmm, I actually like the blue tint of the valk. The armor is a little too blue but not bad. The deal hunter in me bought the alto super parts set and thinks its just dandy. I put the fast pack on and all. Looks way better in person that pictures. The purist in me is eventually gonna get a normal colored white alto...to go with the heavy armor set i just got a good deal (deal hunter for life!!!) on. Damnit...bandai got me. haha. Actually bandai would REALLY get me if they release a dx chogokin VF-171 nightmare plus with the anti vajra attachments...i'd buy that in a heartbeat!

hmm, how big is it? will it tower above the VF-25s (even a 1/100 would tower over a 1/60 vf-25) like its supposed to?
