VF-1A Cannon Fodder is still on my wish list.

+1 on the CF, in DYRL flavor please

Maybe the head/collar/chest plate are one unit that moves up (chest plate hinges out) and does a 180 and the big cockpit slides forward. Head ends up looking back and the chest plate goes to the back. I want to see more!

I want to see it combined and with the landing gear out.

Looking closer, I can't figure out how they are handling the chest transformation. I hope it's not a partsformer

Why hello there Sentinel tread. This is gonna be expensive. 

 

Oh hell yeah! Looks amazing!

Maybe it can include both TV and DYRL heads so it could be either one. Some of the markings would have to be generic or include stickers though.

Yes! I would be completely happy with that. And after they included the grey goggles head in the GBP set it is now a realistic option.

Here's hoping they do a 1/48 VF-1A Mass Production "Brownie" DYRL at some point.

Maybe Bandai will include a swappable DYRL CF VF-1A head with the TV CF VF-1A.  Throw in a CF 1J and 1D head and that would be pretty cool.

That wouldn't be a crazy idea now that they've included the grey goggles head with the GBP. Fingers crossed.

In the pictures of "next item?" i don't see a VF-1A Cannon fodder DYRL version...Yamato never released neither... is it going to be a cursed valk??

I really hope that one comes soon. I'm surprised they left that out and put instead a GBP with yellow tipped missiles... come on. The 1A CF DYRL is the only one I want after these GBP parts to be set and done. There were 1/60 and 1/48 releases from Yamato, they exist.

Roy would have loved this thing, with, like, 90 micro missiles to play with, he would have kicked some serious ass.

2023??? We gotta wait three years for a Tread??? Man, maybe we get Houqet in bike and plane next year, then the green Legioss in 2022... and 2023 we finally get a Tread. Boy... that's a stretched out timeline!

LOL that was pretty much my reaction too, that's a long way away man... I guess it makes sense to squeeze the tooling as much as you can before the Tread and it would dovetail nicely with the 40th Anniversary, but sheesh. Looks like my wallet will get a nice break in the mean time.

So I follow who I think is the illustrator of the Sentinel Legioss box and he reposted this recently

down the thread he says (google translate) that Sentinel will have a "new toy" for the 40th Anniversary of Mospeada. Sentinel Tread in 2023?

They might just include a grey sticker in the GBP set and call it a day.

Or have a slip-on part, or a replacement head.

+1 on the replacement head, that would be the most elegant solution to get everything for the best price and best result.

So, I own the first issue DX 1J with the limited stand, and in order to get the GBP I need to get another 1J?

Bought the first issue white goggles 1/60 1J Yamato back in the day. Then had to get another 1J with the grey visor bundled with the GBP.

History repeats itself?

On the same boat, I have the 1J and want the GBP set, but I don't need another 1J. I personally don't think it's coming all in one, I think it's just going to be the parts set. We'll see

Is the GBP coming bundled with a 1J or is it going to be sold as a missile or super parts set? I hope it's sold as parts, otherwise it's going to be expensive AF (and a huge box!)

I'd guess it's one GBP and it comes with different chest doors like the super parts have different kites.

I like this idea but I'm not so sure about it. You need the cuffs too and the swapping mechanism you have to include for all this could make things unnecessarily complicated. And it's a non canon style opposed to the colored kites that are canon and straight forward to swap.

Well...yes... but what we don't know is which of these are "Display Only" and which will go up for PO. On top of that, we don't know which will be regular releases and which will be TWE.

If I had to guess, I'd say the Grey Goggle and Yellow GBP could be display only, the Red GBP is TWE and the 1D a regular release.

So, to sum up, it looks like we are going to have 4 new releases right? A Grey Goggle 1J, GBP set (Red), GBP set (Yellow), and the 1D, right?

The head looks crooked in that pic, I'm optimistic it's not an issue. At the least, we know it's not so severe the wheel is up.

It looks like the front strut is not fully extended in the locked position. That might help clear the fin, barely.

I've never been a fan of the Zeta, but I gotta admit...Riobot really nailed it with the fire engine red that they went with.  There are a few inconsistencies with the color that I hope they fix or are just lighting.  Mainly, on the wings, here....

And on the head, here....

That's always been a peeve of mine, not to mention, it's been my experience that these color discrepancies only get worse with age with these toys, especially if they're on display or out a lot, like mine are.  

 

 

Some people actually like that, like "Gunpla color separation"

How do you know it's a proxy? it's $347

Well his is a Bandai DX thread so what else would we talk about?

The Sentinel Legioss is fantastic by the way. If it helps at all, it has actually been overshadowing my DX Valks since I got it. 

Same here, can't wait for Sentinel to announce the Tread (I'm pretty confident it will come given some details on the Legioss) so I can put them with the DXs.

Yep, TWE with release supposedly next month.

 

Once they release this DYRL 1A in CF colors I'm done with these.

While this is a beautiful picture.... I cannot help but think to myself "oh god, will that sand damage the paint job or get into the joints?"

It's a weathering effect

Yup.  357 is what Dirty Harry Callahan is packing,  not the price I'm paying for a DX VF-1S.

357? I think you misspelled 44 there :P
