Next from R-Area.

Ok props to Bandai for fixing this.
-
Perhaps Bandai is updating the landing gears to be white instead of silver

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

I have the Jada 1/24 one as well and am somewhat disappointed it doesn't transform into tank mode. But I'm more surprised that even the Hot Wheels Elite version doesn't have that mode too, since it is not difficult to implement.. -
Quite a few Yammie VF-19 Kai popping up at Mandarake, no doubt due to the recent Arcadia reissue. However, a good number of them are having cracked elbow issues, hence the lower prices of these in the Yen 20k+ range. Rather unfortunate, and Arcadia should re-release the 19S, F, and P since they should be afflicted with the same issue as well? But on other hand there's no telling for now if the Arcadia Kai will have the same issue down the road.. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1252369364&ref=list&keyword=macross&lang=en

And now a Type Zero mash up using a.. what else but a VF-0

Yikes that price.... Arcadia finally breaking trend of reissues for the same price. Though I'm not surprised at an increase, it is quite a significant one.
-
I previously thought all these sudden spate of reissues could be due to Arcadia shoring up their finances before committing to new molds, but going by their recent tweets & production of both YF-19 & the Fire Valk, it also seems equally likely the upcoming reissues is just to have their new factory continue to train on & get used to Arcadia’s standards first. I’m not a production guy, but i’m surmising that a situation of simultaneous new mold & new factory mean steeper learning curves for both Arcadia & factory, so by first smoothing out production challenges on molds which Arcadia themselves are already familiar with to guide the new factory, is a prudent move. If Arcadia is able to have the reissue VF-1 & SDF-1 released on time as per planned without delays, then it might be that is when the factory is able to start work on both the VF-5000 & the Hargun.

Thanks Yeah painted landing gears is such a low hanging fruit but Bandai’s just so adverse to it. Nicely done! Vinyl wrap is so common on cars yet it’s the first time I see it done on toys, and it works well.
-
Love this set of pics of the low-vis from Alex Shih on FB:
-
Just a few shots of the VF-1..
-
Perhaps all of them in a mash-up lol. Just only found out, but not surprisingly, these orange Ghosts are actually based on real-life drone the Ryan Firebee.
-
It's kinda surprising they haven't sold out 1/12 Roy yet. In fact, the other 1/12s are still available and only pilot-suit Rick's no more.

KC retail store in Hong Kong as posted by Talos Tsui on FB:

@Lolicon very very nice work!! And don't see how the pics can get any better quality? They look sharp! I like the MDE bombs, those oversized ordinances somehow elevate the whole valk and makes it look very mean. Agreed that instrument panels should be printed, especially Bandai who likes to find reasons just to tampo stuff lol.
-
@no3Ljm @Lolicon @treatment Thanks guys Yammie 21/22 are just so enduring.. I think even if Mr. K takes another shot at them, he won't be changing the proportions much, seeing how little visual differences the newer Arcadia molds have over the Yammies for the other VFs. Perhaps one day I'll pull out the YF-21 instead to do this shot haha..
-
Old pics reprocessed, so forgive me if they look overdone. But Yammie's VF-22 Fighter proportions just looks perfect in every way.
-
Outside?? Wow!!!!
-
Couple of Macross ships in there..
-
^^ Not familiar at all the Getter Robo, so I'm kinda confused between the very different Getter Robo aesthetics... some look pretty cute, essentially like a barrel with limbs sticking out; others look more like the normal proportioned super robots.. I probably should spend some time looking it up..
-
Yikes it looks to be a total write off. Sorry to hear this.
-
Actual packaging for Bison & Dhalsim..
-
Lol.. I guess I'll just try to sell the extra or something, but there should be quite a few of us trying to do the same too. I wonder if the long development time of this was mainly due to KC trying to figure out the add-on armor pieces in various ways, and then finally throwing in the towel and decided to make it into 2 figures instead. Certainly never heard of this happening anywhere else before..
-
Got an email from KC today, they are informing about release of this figure next week & are asking to reconfirm address & order number again. I guess it’s a soft notification to folks who might have otherwise forgotten about their orders after so long lol.
