That is the 1/48 Hasegawa VF-1 in the bottom. The 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1 looks a bit different. Less bulky etc.

Yeah +1 to this. The 1/72 hase also has the messed up angle on the legs while the 1/48 fixed it.

BBTS charged my Paypal today so I guess they're shipping out super soon

a lot of us who got screwed out of fast packs by NY might pick these up as an alternative to movie packs on the aftermarket

I'm getting super duper strong Airfix Vibes from that Box design 🤔

Assembled one of the Valiants from my backlog. Build is unsurprisingly similar to the Ingram, including the ingram's grey frames. Articulation and size are the same as the Ingram except for better head movement range and a much better knee bend thanks to parts separation in the back. 

Not sure why GoodSmile is going with all greys instead of white for the Ingram/Zero/Peacemaker/AV-2 but whatev.

Can't wait to nab some reactive armor ingrams in January

oh dang I want that Husky model so bad

At 13000 yen a pop they should've included an extra torso for Aerith with a katana sticking out of it. Just sayin

So this takes place at the same time as Mospeada but the ride armors look way more advanced. I guess they're pulling off a Halo reach / <insert any gundam 1 year war side story> thing with Mospeada.

At this point I'm just like... meh I'll buy them anyways

dangit guys I got psyched there was new info when I saw this thread pop up back top

The Valiants came in from  amzn jp.  can't wait to snap them up

gonna order 1 for the collection just to support Hase, though I really do wish that Hase made brand-new schemes , not just upscales of previous 1/72 VF-1 reboxes.

Depending on the decal setup (if they do both full blue/gold or if they just do the gold lines and you need to paint the blue) this could be a pretty easy valk kit to finish

How long until we get the M3 5000B's because I will totally get both of those, but we may never get those if we don't buy the funny green M7 5000g

1/48 VF-1A 5Grand
October 2022 Release
Y4200

Surprised they picked the 5-grand valkyrie instead of what I thought was the more popular minmay 2009

That said, it's pretty lazy for Hasegawa to just up-scale their previous rebox decal variants. At least give us NEW decal variants. I'd love a Minmay guard Super VF-1J

so.... who's ready to preorder 5 and have no space for display

P-Bandai finally delivered my hazels :0

inb4 introducing the Plamax 1/72 weapon and decal set?

The kit goes together super smooth. Like all other moderoids it's a softer plastic than bandai stuff so be careful with cutting and causing stress marks. 

This pic doesn't do it justice. It's BIG

got mine from amazon via DHL. was 80 bucks shipped. My box was damaged but luckily the contents are totally fine. 

This box is 100% full of sprues and its as big as a standard master grade box but thicker.... 

gonna be fun to build

just chalk it up to protoculture. I hope I look that good at 70

Big plus of the Plamax outside having straight legs is that it includes a pilot and has options for open or closed door bays which are a minor PITA to close on the hasegawas.

Minus is price (about 2x a standard 1/72 hase) and..... the fact that I'd never get to building it *looks at 5 large rubbermaid containers full of unbuilt Hase's*

sonic birds came in from HLJ. the 40th anni sticker hit me harder than I thought it would

yeah I'm always up to date on my spam folder in case any stray emails get there.. the only ever email I got from them was a response to a question regarding a pre-order delivery date.

I'll have to check my account again when I get home, wondering now if I used my gmail which I never use when I registered for pbandai

Yeah sometimes it gets sent to spam for me . Here's the text of the mail they sent on 4/22

======================================================

really happy I got 2 tr-1's so that i can do 1 normie tr-1 and advanced hazel + hrududu set. 

Also hyped for wound wort

wasn't there that new Mospeada side story that was announced back in 2019 (before the world went nuts) ?

Wonder when/if we'll see news about. this more now that the main cast of Mospead has been done in Ride armor and Legioss form

I know a lot of people ship by surface mail anyways so waiting for a local retailer makes no difference for them
