Probably coinciding with a revised VF-1 mold and all new reissues of every color.
-
Maybe this is how Arcadia unloads the stock they held back to resolve customer service issues.

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!
jenius replied to Keith's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I played about an hour of Alan Wake 2... as someone who almost never games (excluding Switch Zelda games) I was pretty amazed. -
Oh wow, I missed this before. Where was this image posted? When I finally get around to reviewing all these KC releases I'm going to have my work cut out for me on the 'version' side of things.
-
I always have fun with Mad Max movies but I'm surprised we're revisiting someone instead of exploring something new.
-
You don't HAVE to separate the legs, it's an option... though in practice it's often tougher to keep it in one piece than it is to separate it. Blame Kawamori though, the design for the VF-1 uses tiny struts that move the legs where they need to be and then disconnect.
-
I wish they gave the LV pale blue accents like the Yamato 1/48.
-
I bet the packaging will be improved to avoid the head laser issue, especially since they'll be moving to a full plastic container inside.
-
Mystery solved, we found THE guy who does this.
-
That's a lot of butt kibble but so amazed at how good it all looks!
-
Wow your Roy is still so white! I think my chests have all begun to yellow.
-
Agreed, DYRL seems like easy money compared to those nightmares. Other thoughts would be to take other Macross paint schemes and make VF-1 versions of them. YF-19, YF-21, what Bandai did with Messer's VF-1 for the HMR. "Special color" versions of the ones they already did would also make more sense than these...
-
Do we know the PO and launch dates already?
-
Everything is done for sex and/or money. If you can't bring your conspiracy back to the perpetrator getting one of those two things, it's probably not a good conspiracy. In these cases, I think it's more about spending and spending commitments. A lot of companies went under in 2008/2009 and the survivors mostly pivoted to a strategy of "better to err on the side of excess demand" along with "build less, charge more." There are probably accounting thumbprints up and down the strategy: smaller production runs = smaller up front costs, less forward commitments, more adaptability, less leverage, and the increased prices have offset the loss of savings that come from bigger production runs.

I would guess they'll sell the full set as an add on and include fold attachments for the 21.
-
My first order ever from Moehime.
-
Paid for my mechanic version 1S... the pressure is on to wrap up my current project so I can review it as soon as it arrives!
-
I 100% agree with the camera talk... i think we're just seeing slightly different angles and lens... I doubt much is happening with the actual toy.
-
That looks very unnatural... Wonder how it could have happened.
-
Ooh it is available again. I just got a cryptic email from Moehime that seems to say I bought one from them or I would grab this
-
awww bummed i missed it.
-
A VF-11C announcement would have been a lot nicer. Then we could hope for an 11B and an 11MAXL. As it is, we'll definitely get the 19Kai and probably a 19S, maybe a 19F... the other two are just funzy display pieces for this show,;they're no where far enough along to expect a release next year for the anniversary.
-
I'm curious also why Arcadia never did a VT-1. Maybe BigWest jacks up the price on the license when they know Bandai is also working on something? Maybe that's why they haven't given us a 0A Premium Finish also... Bandai said "Hey, we're doing some MacZero stuff in the next couple years, chase Arcadia off for us."
-
Looking at pics of the original VF-19Kai Hi-Metal, it doesn't have that notch above the nose cone so I think it must be a whole new chest shape which probably agrees to the obviously new legs and makes me think it's a totally new mold. The sound booster looks the same as the original though.
-
It has obvious landing gear in the legs, I think it's a full retool. The other two in sound force look like half-baked 3D prints with no engineering.
