You're telling me there was anime magic involved in the animation!?!?!?
-
I forget where I read this, but the Advance explicitly has VF-25-style/era feet installed. Probably all a part of refitting a VF-19EF Cariburn to fifth-gen (sixth-gen?) specs. I think the general shape is pretty accurate to what I remember in the movie. The heel was never pointed like the toe was; that didn't start 'til Frontier. As for rising above the leg... I'm gonna chalk that up to poor handling. Note one foot looks fine while the other is clearly mistransformed. The pics in general seem to reflect handling by someone who didn't try too hard. The more flaws people point out, the less hype I get. STOP IT!

After looking at it more, I think I see what you guys mean now. It seems like the red chest fin doesn't even really exist on the original design; both the animation and the Arcadia toy depict the chest as a solid block with red paint on the upper panel and black on the lower. The DX, on the other hand, adds a black recess and changes what was red-painted armor into a fin, doing that whole area in the style of Gundam chest vents. Hm... Now I can't not notice it... Ignorance truly was bliss.

Chest fin = ??? This?

Best place right now to continue that would probably be here, where there's some good updated info: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/45049-harmony-gold-suing-tatsunoko/ tl;dr - HG lose their Macross license in 2021, but still have trademarks for several terms/icons/etc. used in Macross - the kite, UN Spacy, etc. You can find out/discuss more in above thread. EDIT: Is there still no indication that Bandai will be doing a second run of this Valk? I know it's only been a month, but still, the wound still stings from time to time...

http://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/7226/PLAMAX+MF+25+minimum+factory+VF+1+Super+Strike+Gerwalk+Valkyrie.html But there's no purchase option. Anyway, in case anyone's wondering, HLJ and GSC list a MSRP of 36,852 JPY. Amiami's MSRP is 39,800, which is the MSRP + local sales tax (8%).

That had about 7 more seconds of Venom screentime than the trailer did.

If preorder time remains consistent with previous ones... Apr 27, Fri 6:00pm JST 5:00am EST (Eastern) 4:00am CST (Central) 3:00am MST (Mountain) 2:00am PST (Pacific) 9:00am GMT (Greenwich/Britain)

Ah, good to know. Thanks for the correction.

It wouldn't be on the Tamashii website as it's not a web exclusive. (Correct me if I'm wrong on this.) You might start seeing store pages popping up in a couple days or so, from my two experiences with these premium figures. Hobby Search typically has one up a day or so in advance, just with the item listed as Discontinued or some such thing that grays out the purchasing box. Same with Amiami. HLJ won't show a page until the item officially goes on preorder, and the quickest way to find it is to use the Advanced Search function (thus my link in the previous page). I'd imagine that CDJ, Big in Japan, NY, etc. will have pages up in the upcoming days as well. IIRC, NY has a countdown timer to preorder launch.

Received my HLJ payment notice just now. I almost want to ship it right now instead of waiting for all the other FMP kits and stuff in the pipeline.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

For the X-9, Xigfrid might still have the 3D models for his version: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/42502-m-ghost-x-9/

Seems people generally like both equally, with preferences tipping the opinion one way or another. The Arcadia is obviously the actual YF-19 whereas the Bandai is the Frontier-era Advance (VF-19EF/A, according to the Hasegawa kit). The popular running theory is that the YF-19 trades the VF-19Advance's wing boosters and inner shoulder Super parts (and pinpoint punch effect?) for underwing missiles, the right arm-equipped weapons unit, and a fold booster. It's also understandably assumed that the markings will change, and some speculate that Bandai will change the canopy from a single-piece canopy to a two-piece canopy.

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
kajnrig replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I meant more about the show than the mecha. IIRC, one of you mentioned the Zeta being a shout-out to the VF-1, so we're pretty well covered on that front. But really, I'd have liked the next Gundam show to be another AU. Sunrise et al went some really interesting places with... well, not so much with Build FIghters or Divers... or Age... or G-Rec... Okay, so really only IBO piqued my interest, but enough so to make me want to see what they do next. To see it be just another return to boring old Universal Century and boring old Unicorn... -

Gonna leave this here for posterity's sake: https://hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?DisplayMode=list&Word=yf-19&set=1&qid=GIUV9E1UAGD0&Dis=-2&q=1&Sort=releaseDate+desc

No response from HLJ just yet, but they always tend to be a little bit slower with these things. Will probably get a shipping confirmation Sunday night into Monday.
-
Yeah, I didn't expect them to go to the effort of including parts for the hook, so that's totally understandable. Good to know, thanks for the answers.
-
I mean part G1, not G2 + H1, the front part of the canopy.
