  1. Not answering for Chronicidal... If there were released I would buy them only if they were set unique to previous VF-31 releases. I’m just a sucker for variants.
  2. Haven’t really looked at cheapest options nowadays. I couldn’t help you there. It has been more about assurance that when I buy I get what I ordered. Too tired of dealing with flaky sellers who still blame all their problems on COVID. Sure it will be more expensive to ship but that seems to be the norm nowadays. And as old as we are all getting time is not on our side. I just want te joy these.
  3. Overall this figure is worth obtaining. Plus the added bonus of the slimmer handle on the gunpod allows storage of the weapon onto the shoulder. Looks pretty good.
  4. Greatest disappointment for this figure is Arcadia’s missed opportunity to improve the arms. This figure could use the additional articulation used in the HM-R.
  5. This was scary to transform. Some joints just didn’t want to budge at the torso. When the metal swing bar moved the mid body missiles finally flew off. But everything else stayed in place. So finally... Battroid!!
  6. Missiles still in place. fFr now the figure is very tight in most joints. I would highly recommend transforming this figure as the tighter joints could pose durability issues if left untouched. Reminds me of the VF-171, almost. Please no explodium, please no explodium.
  7. So the missles stay very secure during transformation, but then there is the new deal with lower arms popping off. The elbow joints are unnecessarily tight. Good thing the assembly goes back together easily yet it’s something to look out for.
  8. Maybe the surface area needs a plastic prep or adhesion promoter to help the paint bite onto those areas. Just mask off the areas you don’t want correct.
  9. It appears to be a re-envisioned Jeeg.
  10. You ate instant noodles!?!? I just remember eating crow back in those days.
  11. I am so glad to have purchased this. I just can’t get over of how clean the VF-4 is. There’s little bits that make this really nice: 1. Small are behind he canopy is now painted to match the VF-4. 2. The leg screws on the thighs are painted to match the body color. 3. No “1997 Big West” or “Made in China” stamps or under the wings. 4. Smoother, tighter joints. No flop out of the box. 5. Properly sized kite symbol on wing. 6. Enlarged skull insignias on wings versus the stickers previously supplied. 7. Gunpod with slimmer handle that attaches secure to the belly of the fighter. Nice little improvements that made a huge difference.
  12. I never new this. So Arcadia made an exclusive gunpod for the VF-4 or were these left overs from the V2 VF-1?
  13. One good thing is the tolerances feel a bit tighter. I just opened this MIB Yamato to confirm.
  14. HLJ is now shipping. Can’t wait to add this to the rest of the VF-4.
  15. Yay! I have a few VF-4 from Yamato and Arcadia game versions but I figured what the heck one more isn’t going to hurt. And this is the official FlashBack 2012 version.
  16. I know this year has put everything and everyone through the ringer. And it is hard to believe it is almost over. To all you fantastic members and lurkers out there, may you have a very Healthy and Happy New Year! Let’s all look forward to a new year with positive outcomes!!!
  17. Yes. Glane21 owns that version with Made In Taiwan stamping on the packaging, yet I don’t think he ever showed it was stamped Made In Taiwan on the VF-1J. I have always been very curious about that Valkyrie.
