    Found in FB. Apologies, link is for mobile. https://m.facebook.com/MacrossFanCentral/photos/a.334777553272293.78093.334036913346357/1668400766576625/?type=3&source=48 1/20 VF-1 weapons set

    I went from "Ew, no..." at the beginning to "Hm, actually..." in the middle to "Yeah... Yeah...! Yeah, I like this idea!" at the end. Shinkai does a lot of beautiful imagery, which no doubt influenced the work of Satelight, and he would certainly give the new generation of Macross characters some meticulous, beautiful feet. Beyond that... I think VF combat would have to take on a totally different tone. Not bad different, just... different. Slower, more contemplative, maybe.

    Ah, yeah, I get what you mean. I felt that, too.

    It was positioned as the diametric opposite of Delta (and, strangely, Frontier), and my only intent was to point out that the two are more similar than perhaps the person would like to admit. I did this, too. To be fair, the story up 'til then you can sort of keep up with, but you go from "time to FAEB the island" to "everyone's aboard the ships, time for all-out WAR!!!" in the span of a credits sequence.

    It's the first instance of Korean rap that didn't instantly make my ears bleed. So... top marks for that alone. Like what? I thought he was a compelling villain, in that a lot of the ideas he embodied were strong counters to those of the protagonist... I dunno, I think Michael B Jordan had already sufficiently cushioned himself off from those train wrecks with Creed. Or did that come out before Fant-4-stic?

    ...so which one of you is Yellow Panther, then? Watching the credits as I write this. I keep waiting for one of these Marvel movies to be just straight up bad... Seems I'll have to keep waiting. Dug the music. For all the complaints about hip hop/rap, there wasn't actually all that much in there.

    We discussed this in the anniversary model threads, too, but I think the anniversary schemes are just hit or miss. The 25th looks really nice, but the 30th was... Nascar ugly. Have there been any others? There's the Messer VF-1, but I don't know if that's an "official" scheme or Bandai just wanted to capitalize on Delta and Messer's (confounding) popularity.

    Separate canopy frame. Interesting. Removable(?) cockpit. Also interesting. Snap assembly? Triple interesting...

    Ugh, you want to talk about wasting perfectly good plots, the whole Kaname/Arad angle was dropped even more quickly than the love triangle was, and to throw salt on the wound, they opted to put in its place the worst "tragic romance" ever. I will never not be super salty.
  10. kajnrig
    Oh god yes, I totally forgot about that. Something like that, I'd kill half a dozen wallets for.

    Don't you folks ever get tired of the same old VF-1? Gets kind of boring when all you ever see are head variants, paint jobs, and the same three armament packs. I'd love if they did some super custom VF-1, keeping the same transformation maybe but redesigning the wings, limbs, etc. Maybe with a unique Super pack to go with it, some outlandish thing with giant gatling guns on the arms a la the Armored VF-31 and new drones/missiles/lasers that attach to the underwing pylons or something...

    That's pretty cute. If this had come out while I was still a fan of MLP, I'd have jumped all over it. :/

    The seated pilot figure was shown off a while back. There are prototype Hikaru and Misa "minimum factory" standalone kits in the works, and the previously released Minmei kit in the same scale and line. The members of Walkure got 1/20 kits as well.

    Gaudy paint jobs certainly didn't stop the regular-release VF-31s from selling like hotcakes. Snark aside, I quite like this scheme. I said from the first reveal of the 35th anniversary scheme that it would look better without all that lettering, and I'm glad to see Arcadia prove me right. Shame that the rest of the markings aren't tampo'ed on, but if they include them as decals (and not stickers, please not stickers), then I might be tempted to get my first Arcadia VF...

    Hm, now that you mention it, all of the recent WIP photos have been of the Gerwalk. I wonder what happened to the original fighter mode kit?

    You could almost argue they did, what with that massive, gorgeous VF-1...

    Thanks for the input. On further reflection, I realize I should have just invoiced them the cheaper Priority option and let Ebay take care of any dispute that arises from it. They committed to purchasing it when they placed their bid, and reneging on their bid does a disservice to not only me, but anyone else who bid against them. Lesson learned for the future. On the bright side, I have two kits to snap together whenever I need to pass the time.

    Thanks to electric indigo for the find. This is Kotobukiya's long-ago-previewed Belial model kit, likely same 1/60 scale as their Laevatein and upcoming Arbalest kits:

    Kotobukiya 1/144-scale XFA-27 in an Ace Combat Infinity scheme. It was showed off a while ago, but electric indigo got another pic from a recent event (WonFes?).

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Ah, I see. I don't have a DX 31, so I don't know how it's held together. I figured the drone would attach to the joint itself, but in the movie it's shown magically attached to the wing tip (or maybe more specifically, it's magically attached to the FSW near the rotating joint), thus my speculation.

    When.... When did these show up?
  24. kajnrig
    That's the first appearance of the Punisher, right? A certain Best Friend would be jealous of you (or already has it).

    Bandai DX VF-31

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Maybe they'll go so far as to provide entirely new wing tips with attachment points for the drones. Are the wing tips easy to remove?
