Hmm I can't really tell what does this change do again?

Dial up the exposure x 1000. Legs compressed here looking quite squat.

Excellent! I’m wondering how’s the quality of the stand in the Deluxe version.

Is that a new can of spam or kept from years ago? lol Bit of regret didn't get the PF YF-19..

Moderoid Bismarck. Price & release TBA.

Beautiful comparison pic.

The DX VF-25F Armored is just about the only thing missing from collection, so the VF100 continues to fill the gap. Will Bandai do a Revival version? But I'm not enthusiastic of another full fat bundle release - just standalone armor would be great.

We can see what @Lolicon's referring to in the following video: Taking a still from the video, if we look at the lower leg there are 2 new slots flanking the original single, bigger slot in the center. The conformal tanks now attach to these 2 new slots instead of the center one. The original release only has that center slot for the conformal tank (pic from jenius's site): Correspondingly, the pegs on the conformal tank have been adjusted to suit. The updated one: As compared to the old one: I'm not sure why Arcadia changed this part in first place, the original design is cleaner and the tank doesn't fall off easily, at least on my copy. Is this the reason why the Reactive Armor won't fit this new 0A as per Mr. K's post? Well, based on another video I watched, the Reactive Armor doesn't appear to use this slot at all, so there must be another change somewhere at the legs that makes the Armor incompatible, and I can't figure out yet based on watching LP's video.

If it helps, I just measured it and it’s 8cm height till the tip of head lasers.

I would like to get another if it gets re-issued. My own copy has significantly yellowed, due to early days collecting carelessness (exposed to sunlight). Yeah that bit looks odd, but that is how the valk is designed in first place? Willing to overlook that though compared to the rest of the valk.

All pics taken using phone. Post-processing mostly done with Google Snapseed. The VFC VF-1 battroid have next to no articulation. Only the shoulders can swing back & forth, and that's about it. The GNU-Dou VF-1 is pretty ok. No double joint at knees or elbows like most modern figures, but what it has not found on other VF-1 figures is the chest can rock side to side. Perhaps the Revoltechs can do it too, but I haven't played with them yet.

The YF-30 Chronos happened to come to mind, and now I wish Bandai announces a re-issue. It's probably the only DX mold that's never been used more than once.

Went back to tweak couple of old pics, both of non-transformable VF-1s. Yamato 1/200 VFC Low-Vis VF-1: Yamato GNU-Dou VF-1A Max:

Very, very nice.

Just noticed through translation this additional little gimmick: Not sure if that purple diamond automatically moves out of way when speakers are exposed and goes back in position by itself when closed, or it has to be manually pushed in/out.
