    There are 2 variants: QF-2200D-A & QF-2200-B. Physical looks wise, they are just different color variations. A-variant is the blue & white that was shown flying around destroying Anti-UN forces in the OVA, whilst B-variant is the grey one mainly shown attached to the VF-0 in the final episode. 

    Borrowing pics of the Yamato's..

     

    :good: I miss yamato....i now remember i used to try and hunt down the A variant...

    although the B variant fits into the 0S/0A scheme better, just a sucker for that blue and light grey pattern...

    Bit of a short downer that the prototype Kakizaki colors were better lol. 

    Watch Bandai announce new HMR to be the VF-19 Kai on this coming weekend's live-stream. :p 

    There will be a live stream tomorrow night at 2200 hrs Tokyo time.

    VF-4G is among my earliest collection, just about outside the first handful of valks in the collecting journey. I got the Arcadia reissue when it was still very much available at retail, so it happened to have been the best time to get it especially when Yamato's first issue was going at about double the prices just prior.

    These days the VFX VF-4G seems a bit overlooked, especially with the release of the FB2012 VF-4A normal & premium versions mixed in with the HMRs in the intervening years. I've had this sitting in my display for years, never taken out of Fighter and I don't think it will ever be. :p So, just further appreciating it in Fighter mode for now..

    It may look a bit drab in this colour & with minimal tampos, but in hand it just feels soooo good. The tactile feel of the plastic, the very fine panel lines & the weight makes it feel that it is very well put together.

    This valk has so many control surfaces - wings, fins, canards and stabilizers but they all come together nicely as a nice coherent whole. I actually like fiddling with the moving fins, because there is the nice stiffness & consistency to the whole range of motion from one end to other, again great tactile feel.

    Favorite design element: the curvature of the nosecone..

    As much as I like to think how all the panels come together mostly flush, this is actually the first time I notice the rear cowlings of the upper booster nozzles don't meet the bottom thruster housings nicely. The nozzle cowling seems to be a bit too wide and it shows on both sides. A minor annoyance but doesn't detract from overall how sleek the VF-4 design is.

    While I'd love a Bandai DX VF-11B Super, VF-11C Super and VF-11C Full Armored, I think the chance is very small.

    Somewhat more realistically (maybe 😅), I'm hoping for at least a few of the following to be released by Bandai in 2024:

    • DX 1/60 VF-31AX Arad. 
    • DX 1/60 VF-31AX Chuck
    • DX 1/60 Tornado Pack Reissue for VF-25F Alto.
    • DX 1/60 Tornado Pack Reissue for VF-25G Michael.
    • DX 1/60 VF-25S Ozma Reissue with Armored pack. <-- scalper target to no end.
    • DX 1/60 SV-303 Vivasat (one can hope). ❤️< -- maybe. if bandai decides to invest in a new mold? not much chance for variants though so very iffy.
    • HMR Destroid Tomahawk. <--likely but what do i know
    • HMR Destroid Phalanx. <--likely but what do i know
    • HMR Nousjadeul-Ger (DYRL version).  <--unlikely cos well...the destroids will take its place 🤭
    • HMR VF-17S and VF-17D (my favorite VF from 1994 to 2008). <-- i would like this!
    • DX 1/48 VT-1 Super Ostrich.
    • DX 1/48 VE-1 Elint Seeker.
    • DX 1/48 VF-1A Cannon Fodder,
    • DX 1/48 VF-1A Hikaru (DYRL).
    • DX 1/48 VF-1A or S Max (DYRL).
    • DX 1/60 YF-30 Chronos Reissue (mine became so yellowed 😭). <-- unless there is a game relaunch...no marketing tie-in for it?
    • DX 1/60 VF-22S Max.
    • DX 1/60 SV-262Hs Mirage or Bogue Red Knight.

     

    some of my thoughts..

    For HMR am wanting a HMR frontier most of all. But HMR M7 would also do nicely...
