  1. Pilot seat does not rotate on the Bandai DX Kai: https://twitter.com/TakowasaShell/status/1982051807846429098 --- add/edit: Heppoko recently tweeted his DX Kai comparo-pics. Click on his tweeter-links for full-scale of his pics below: https://twitter.com/simsim5479/status/1982443757107908824 web-translated: https://twitter.com/simsim5479/status/1982443761394483657 web-translated:
  2. hmmm. still seems to look bow-legged like their previous VF-19Advance and YF-19...
  3. As of this posting, it seems this DX Fire Valk is being heavily discounted to even lower than 22k-yen by 3rd-party sellers at amzn.jp, but only if you are a jp resident: As such and as of this posting time, amz-jp is selling it for 26.644y plus shipping-fees: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0F62BC2MB here's the breakdown if I wanted to import it... Around US$257 at current exchange-rate shipped. I'm still not pulling the trigger on this DX Kai even at that shipped pricing, tho...
  4. So I noticed this seemingly unintended byproduct of the neck-cover storage from that pic and from Motoki Hiroyuki's tweet earlier: https://x.com/Coo3bunchou/status/1981894172102873460 edit: check out the mini-video from his tweet also regarding the shoulder-speaker mechanism reveal...

  6. quite a long livestream ( 3:45:55 ) from last week about the Arcadia 1/60 VF-0A reissue version, alongside a photo session setup with the 1/60 SV-51 Nora to create some neat desktop background or so...
  7. per Heppoko's tweet: https://twitter.com/simsim5479/status/1980865962858647722 DX Fire-Valk instructions-manual pdf (colored) now up and available: https://tamashiiweb.com/images/item/item_0000015361_4C6Kwya3_300.pdf so you can dissect it the usual MWF way... --- edit/update: sample page-snap: errr. Bandai still seems to luv making their DX Macross valks look derpy in their instructions-manuals...
  8. couple of recent updates from Mr.K... re: 1/60 Hikaru Strike VF-1S https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/1978239870859460811 web-translated: re: Arcadia website https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/1978241378053230819 web-translated:

  11. Some of the translated comments on this Tamashii-Nations' own tweet were at least just a bit salty... https://twitter.com/t_features/status/1973245276841533522
  12. I think all of the Revival-27 are affected with the misassembly issue. Bandai already admitted it's a factory fault. Anecdotally, I have not come across any Revival-27 jp-tweet that didn't have the misassembly issue. If you reside in japan, Bandai will fix the issue if you send the item to them. However, the repair time will be at least three months. The offer is not applicable to both resellers and reseller buyers Yay or something...
  13. treatment

    HMR VF-19P

    Bandai cost-cutting logic... glue/lock-down leg missile bay option make extra shoulders with fins coz making just the fins movable is WTFBANDAI&#$(&^#&$?! /facepalm
  14. fyi https://twitter.com/ARCADIA_Co_Ltd/status/1975502559579414901 translated:
  15. interesting web-translated verbiage admission from official Tamashii Nations... https://twitter.com/t_features/status/1973245276841533522 web-translated: "working backwards from the evolved VF-171". The comments on that tweeter-feed were quite amusing. Also, someone noticed the front landing gear of the DX 17S is a bit too far up front... https://twitter.com/cross_W42S/status/1973454106531688659
  16. Careful using amz.jp to preorder this DX VF-17S. They do their new charge-now/pay-now policy on it instead. It happened to me last night and I canceled it right away. Not sure if its general amz.jp preorder-policy now or just randomized items, as I didn't get charge-now/pay-now when I PO ML-Ultra Magnus a month or so ago.
  17. Did Bandai ever shown even a gray/unpainted prototype like with both the HMR Fatty and the DX YF-21?
  18. Unusually severe typhoon season over there, so most likely will be delayed. Which is kinda ok for us US-fans with regards to waiting out the ridiculous tariffs in addition to the ludicrously high shipping fees nowadays...
  19. another comparo... https://twitter.com/006zgundam/status/1972453816198115417 Seems a wee bit bigger than the older Actic Gear/Actic Gear Next ATs, indeed.
  20. first yt review of Toyrise AT Red Shoulder Custom: (beware of yt's AI auto-dubbing! check your yt language and CC settings!)
  21. moar... comparo with the older AG and AG-Next from this twitter-guy (he's got more tweets about Toyrise AT on his twitter-page): https://twitter.com/UGA54580013/status/1972132351477272824 web-translated: https://twitter.com/UGA54580013/status/1972133534912610612 web-translated: https://twitter.com/UGA54580013/status/1972135474295865789 web-translated:

  24. Me thinks Bandai is quite capable of such. Unfortunately, they're just actively and deliberately not willing to do so.
