That wasn't In-atmosphere?

Ah, so he did. Was any detail shown?

Quick question: in SDFM, do we ever get to see an in-atmosphere ejection from a Valkyrie? I'm assuming the pilot has a parachute?

Thanks,

Greg

I bought the resin parts to make a battroid one out of a hasegawa kit a few years ago, one day I might get time to make one, as the change to Gerwalk will be easy now with the kits out.

Where did you pick that up?

Most excellent.

1/48 please.

Mine arrived today - sadly can't unpack it until the weekend. Huge, heavy box.

Really excited about this one!

I'd love a 1/72 Type 100...

Do the Chara-works items have a GERWALK model available?

What's the accepted wisdom on the best 1/144 VF-1?

I've got a few of the Wave 1/100 kits, but looking for something more manageable for dioramas etc.

Looking really nice - great blog too.

Check your PM, Mike.

Really enjoyed SHOT.

I'll dig up my Zev Glock pics. Beautiful pistols.

Too late to buy?

TV hands, too. Being picky, I'd prefer the TV 1A head.

Still, happy with the release overall.

Another in the franchise?

Just billed by HLJ for this: seriously wished I'd ordered two!

Hobby Search have the sprue shots here:

Wow - the nose on yours looks better too. Great job.

Is that an all new nose sculpt? Looks a bit different from the 1/72 fighter.

I thought that too.

I wonder why they changed the shape of the leg fins?

Saw that - I don't get it. Maybe for clearance for the arms?

So. Much. Awesome.

Hopefully the circles are just on a test shot, I bet they can still be ground off the mold since they are recessed. If not it's a strange choice to have those there.

They look to me like they're from ejector pins, to get the plastic out if the molds themselves, not raised circles in the mold. It could've been that the test shot was ejected before it cooled enough.

All speculation on my behalf, of course.

Looks good, just a bit disappointed in the seeming inflexibility of the pose.

Backpack looks a little too much like the cartoony Imai kits. I'd prefer the existing Super Valkyrie parts.

That's what I said when the line art came out. I'll use backpack from the Super/Strike fighter-mode kits, I think.

Was hoping they'd have a two seater 'D' variant option - the classic first appearance of the GERWALK.

That's how I'm going to build my -1D. I also want to do Max's TV VF-1A in the captured uniform, one leg forward, one leg back, coat streaming behind...

And it comes with a clear stand!!

DYRL? or SDFM hands?

Not to sound ungrateful......but, 48th Battroid & Gerwalk please.

Any word on whether there's a TV cockpit too?

Also, is it just me or does the 'backpack' look too small?

Very, very nice job
