It has been a while for me too. I don't think there was really anything for me to get this past year. Nothing new in the DX line aside from the VF-1s which I'm all tapped out on. Everything else has been re-issues, HMR, or other stuff. I guess they don't plan on finishing the Delta movie stuff. Arcadia hasn't released much of anything either, as far as I know. My wallet got a big breather thanks to that though.
This will be the first new thing I'll be getting. As for the PO madness, at least I can be not so stressed, knowing that there will be a worldwide release in case I don't get a JP preorder.
@MacrossJunkie I feel the same way. In the past year, there haven't been any releases that I was interested in, and most of the releases were worldwide. I plan to be online for the PO madness night just to take advantage of the favorable Yen rate. However, like you, if I am not able to secure POs, I won't be stressed about it.

Excited for this release, haven't experienced PO Madness in a while 💸💸💸
I am up for a PO madness night, but I haven't been in one for a while too.

Thanks @Saburo.
The resemblance with Death Star trench is coincidental, as I don't really have much background options for pics. But I can perfectly understand why it looks somewhat like the SW trench haha..It's all good, you are working with what you have and doing a good job, you put a lot of creativity into the shots. Keep it up! 👍

A DX YF-21!?!? Jeez, I'm out of it for a little while, Bandai gets delusions of grandeur!
Haha, I see what you did there @spacemanoeuvres. Well done Han.

I'm still having quite a bit of fun with the Ghosts, way beyond I ever thought I would..
Whether it is with full Super Parts..
or without.
I keep finding new ways to play or imagine. The lack of traditional cockpit, together with the design of its underside, actually makes the design pretty viable if the Ghost is flipped over. For example, taking the above pic & just rotating it upside down, makes me imagine it as a spacecraft on its gentry waiting to launch from the bay doors below..
Or in this configuration, imagining it as a watercraft skimming along the surface on its booster pontoons..
The lack of visible cockpit also means it's easier to imagine it as something of a very different scale. Here it reminds me strongly of a capital ship from another sci-fi. Just needs a big saucer to attach overhead, and then it will be ready to go explore the final frontiers of space.Great shots @MKT, the last shot gives the impression that the ghost is much larger than it is.

I was thinking the same thing.
On 11/22/2023 at 4:58 AM, lechuck said:So what is (if there is one) the general consensus regarding the WWM release of the VF-31AX – is it considered to be better one with less issues than the initial release?
@lechuck I have the initial release and WWM release, the WWM release does have some changes. The blue paint on the WWM is darker, and the joints appear to be a bit tighter but then again my initial release the joints may have loosened over time. On the WWM release, I did notice that the knee/leg extension doesn't have a tight "lock" when extending and the arm cannons seem to align properly forward in fighter mode.

I set the wings to high-speed mode for this shot, accentuating the YF-19's silhouette.

That's a bummer. But it was really poor timing. There just weren't cheap 1/60's floating around by that point anymore.
@Mommar agreed the timing was bad for the 1/60 scale, but was great for the HM-R line. It would have been interesting if they had gotten the 1/60 OWL- ONE funded. I had several conversations with FEXT about their plans for the HM-R and 1/60-scale Valkyries. I am not at liberty to say, but they had some really cool things in the works.

Shame it never got enough traction to get a full release, would have loved to have a set.
On 11/3/2023 at 7:42 AM, BlueMax said:Sadly, they were not able to get the numbers they wanted for PO for the 1/60th OWL One armor. FEXT had reached out to me and asked me to photograph the 2 sample units they had. I agreed and shipped them to me from Hong Kong to the US via FedEx. The 2 samples were not the final but they looked amazing.
Although the 1/60 OWL-One armor never entered production, I was honored to be asked to photograph the two samples.

Simply stunning @Saburo!
Its nice that MoShow have moved beyond KO and started making high quality toys on their own.
Thank you, Moshow did well to pivot and start their own IP with the Progenitor Effect and start producing figures in other lines.

Hey @Saburo Good to see you again, the clarity of your pics are top notch! Either you edited out the display stand or your VF-25 can actually hover.
Yo @505thAirborne! Wait the VF-25 doesn't have a hover gimmick? 🤣

@borgified Yep. Looks like @no3Ljm has reposted them.
I still am keeping most of my Valkyrie photos on my Flickr page, for now.
