Hmm. Well, i don't have anymore 1/48 yammies, my bright-white 1/60v2 yammies and arcadias ain't "a bunch of yellow expensive gunk". Here are some recent pics of my Yammie Hikkie-1J alongside the HMR and the DX... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/uploads/monthly_2018_12/dx-y160v2-hmr.JPG.09d6a30051567b3ce05b5607466e1cc4.JPG http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/uploads/monthly_2018_12/gettingready4dx1j.jpg.17277ea718125759c45c6cad03d105e9.jpg http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/uploads/monthly_2019_01/hikaru-1J-stuff.jpg.3864135a6efecdf23afd89e065c92dc9.jpg I should take out my Arcadia 1S'es. They're even way brighter whites than my Yammie TV-valks...

Actually, GERWALK always evoke skiing (especially downhill skiing) to me:

Apparently somebody in the amz-jp customer-reviews/comments section had also posted some pilot-figure measurements and comparisons: back in 1/4: https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/customer-reviews/R2YELJPS3208GE sample: There are also interesting user-pics posted by other amz-jp customers, too.

I think the Yammie 1/48 pilots should fit the DX, technically. However, I think Bandai deliberately made the cockpit-area really tight to not let that happen.
-
I think the yammie 1/48's nosecone looks far elongated compared to the DX. I don't have a 1/48 TV-Hikaru anymore, but Jenius has a pilots-comparo pic at his site now: http://anymoon.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Bandai-DX-VF-1J-Hikaru-12.jpg

Put the bra fillers in...

i think can definitely bank a valk...

Ok. Mine doesn't pop out by itself just yet in comparison with DWC's and NeoMatter's. At any rate... Don't really think I can even actually offset the arms or not on mine, but here are pics of my DX 1J's arms connected but somehow misaligned: Maybe a bit difficult to spot it, so here's another pic along with the yammie: See the misalignment on the DX's arms, yet? Now here's a pic with the gunpod attached to make the misalignment go away: It's an annoyance. May trigger some OCD if you're into proper symmetry and alignment. Fwiw, the yammie 1/60v2 has tiny tab/dimple combo on its arms to peg together and align nicely. In contrast, the DX arms are clean and does not have any tabs like the yammie. You'll have to attach the gunpod to join and align its arms together flushed in Gerwalk-mode. Fighter-mode seems to use the connected legs/backpack as leverage/pressure to keep the arms aligned and flushed.
-
Ok, thanks. That's kinda what I was afraid of, however. Our first instinct was to make sure everything is aligned properly, but now your finding makes it go against that. So should we deem this a bonafide Bandai QC issue (design or mfg) ?
-
I'm a bit confused with the pic #1. It looks offset. Is that before or after you got it to work properly?
-
Unless the new Launch Arm can actually finally do the proper anime-accurate grab-mode with the claws, I rather they just re-release the recent Clear-Stand and/or resurrect the Mighty Block stands (possibly super-size it a bit) instead.
-
They're either just came back from vacation and are just backed up with stuff. Or, they're just being totally lazy about your particular order. Didya also preorder a VF-31A with them and yet to receive it still?
-
No worries. Bandai will sell a brace thingy add-on like they did with the Messer/Draken-accessory. As usual, it'll be a TWE and will have an MSRP of 5000y. Just for the clear brace thingy...
-
Possible that Arcadia will go in hold-my-beer mode when they saw the original still getting scalped at ami and/or manda for almost 10k-yen used/abused...
-
As nice as this DX-1J is, I just hope it doesn't get loosey-goosey like some other Chogokins tend to get. That said, I'm already a little annoyed with the arm-slots not really locking with the underside-tabs when in fighter-mode. Seems like the design makes it dependent on the legs being connected to the backpack to support the arms in place so that the arms don't sag down or dislodge by themselves.
-
It was definitely in the movie:
-
uhmm, ok, then. why do you have the leg-fins folded inwards?
-
Somebody over at TD-forum showing off a panel-lined DX-1J: http://toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-276984-1-1.html a couple of samples in battroid-mode:
-
Tried the "special stand" that made this release a "Limited Edition". Other than the tampo printing, it ain't special at all. At least in functionality. In fact, it's really kinda stupid. Not really sure why it's even a separate part other than maybe to make the box-packaging equal to the DX-YF19 box size to charge more shipping fees. There are grooves for specific positioning ("A" =bank right, "B"= neutral/non-bank, "C"= bank left) on the adaptor-piece. You have to always remove and reconnect to the arm-piece to do specific banking or non-banking display. And that's about it. Try not to get tempted to bank the DX while the adaptor is already connected/engaged with the arm. It's not articulated like the old simple Yamato mighty-block stands or the recent Arcadia simple clear stands. As always, I reckon Yeti will be offering better stands for this DX 1J. If his current yeti-stands aren't already compatible with this DX, yet.
-
Ya know? Wonder if these KO-blokes will try to do a properly-colored 1/60 VF-0D instead of the VF-1xx and the VF-31xx stuff. It'll be a very very interesting development indeed...
-
Discovered what seems to be the only compatible part between the old Yammie-1/48 and the new Bandai DX-1J... Yeah. The Skull heatshield. Woo hoo or something...
-
Bandai is sure to offer the GBP-specific missiles-launch effects, too. Separately. Tamashii Nations Events showroom exclusive at first. Then TWE after a month or so. Oy, vey...

heads up! as of this posting, amz-jp has one for 19440y again, but there's only one left! hurry! https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07FVSX5BL/ edit as of 11:52 PST: gone now. hope one of you got it. amz-jp stock might show up again, so just refresh the link regularly. Also, jp-holiday is over now, so regular import-shops (ami, hlj, hs, cdj, etc) should be open again. Check them for stocks also.

lighting from the monitor can be interesting sometimes...
