I've been on the fence about the Arcadia release. I love the model, but am horrible at sticker application, which is why I'd like a Premium Finish.
A HMR Tomahawk would be ideal though. That's the one I've been holding out for.
Any idea if there was ever a Premium Finish version of this released? Or maybe it was teased but never actually announced?
Still waiting for an HMR Tomahawk, but the Arcadia 1/60 is very cool indeed.
And looking forward to seeing any future displays you'd be wiling to share...so I can live vicariously through your collection.
Tomahawk, Tomahawk, Tomahawk! Come on Bandai, put me out of my misery. :)
As for the VF-1J (Hikaru) in the promo image, as others suggested, it looks like it might be the VF-1J ARMORED VALKYRIE (Hikaru Ichijo) Revival Ver. being used.
I didn't even consider the cockpit tint.
It does make me wonder what version of Hikaru's VF-1J they used in the announcement image. Probably the one from the recent Armored release.
Have DYRL versions of Kakizaki and Jenius be released in the Hi-Metal R line yet (VF-1As)?
I know they were released in the original Hi-Metal line (without super parts?), but have their DYRL versions even been teased in a display yet? I can't remember at this point.
Thanks for the shout out Tochiro, and always looking forward to hearing what you and crew have going on. All the best!
