  1. @sc_planet Awesome! The 2JA is my next favorite VF after the 2SS, and it's great to see it in physical representation now.
  2. The thing about vintage Ogroids, is that purely by looks they aren't much outdated compared to modern versions. This is unlike the chunky VF-1 or the Gakken Legiosses...
  3. For TWE items, I always thought 2nd or subsequent batches will only happen if the current PO batch is sold out before the closing date. If the VT-1 hasn't sold out yet by now, I won't expect they will by next week's closing date.. so slim chance there will be another batch for this.
  4. Looking at the new pics, I kinda feel the Fighter's proportions look better than the larger Yamcadias. It could be camera illusion, but the nosecone doesn't appear to look as stubby as its larger sibling, despite the LERX terminating at about the same point below the canards.
  5. The price is Yen 14,300 which I assume is Yen 13k + 10% JP domestic tax. T-Rex is also stated as being the designer, so no wonder it looks like a mini-Yamcadia just like the HMR VF-0S are to the Arcadias. Landing gear implementation seems similar to the HMR VF-0s - integrated bay doors but partsforming plug-in gears. Not surprisingly, there’s no integrated cockpit canopy again. This plus the landing gears are probably how Bandai wants to keep these as key aspects of HMR VFs. Although there’s no rainbow tint for the canopy, thankfully there isn’t that weird yellow tint of Arcadia’s version here.
  6. It'll be really annoying if Bandai doesn't include the sound booster. Hoping that they do, but not keeping hopes there since they have only been showing only the valk itself so far.
  7. It is totally epic! All these pics & poses really captures the essence and feel of the comic book, and makes want to run out and buy a bunch of these figures too haha.
  8. That is quite a team of Joes there @Mog! Are these 1/18? They look pretty detailed for their size..
  9. Great that there are more choices for Morrigan now. Prior to this I thought of getting the Kotobukiya bishoujo version, but Pop Up Parade happen to announce theirs & I thought I’ll save a bit to have a decent representation of her. Likely will get Lilith too to pair them up & then am done (hopefully!) with Darkstalkers. Fighting games was such a big part of my younger days so am just aiming to have a piece or two here & there from various titles. Haha I am actually tempted to get one. Again the Kotobukiya one looks great, but Pop Up Parade will also be releasing her in a few months. Though, I don’t much like her sculpt - details looks a bit too soft even for a budget figure so am holding back. Might change mind later..
  10. Always wanted a Morrigan over the years, so am pretty happy Pop Up Parade made one recently.
  11. It has butt flaps, but somehow they accentuate the YF-19 having no butt for them And personally think this has the best YF-21 proportions..
  12. Nice purchase! Somehow, the illustrations of the valks in the special book caught my eye. Going by the 3D renderings of the YF-19 & Fz-109 for all 3 forms, there doesn't appear to be much (if at all) anime magic going on between modes. Love to see the full interpretations of other valks with reputation of heavy anime magic lol
  13. Looks to have sufficient variety beyond the casual shoot-em-up. The VFs really look really small, but perhaps it's just my old eyes not being able to focus & catch up now lol. Potentially the big issue is that there doesn't seem to be enough visual distinction between objects that you can interact with and those that are just pure background stuff. For eg, in the early part of the video, there's all sorts of asteroids flying around and I really thought one have to avoid slamming into them. In later part of video, there's these stuff that you can pick up but they don't look much different from other background debris.
  14. Best drone display mode!
  15. Congrats and it is really the sleekest VF. Adding to that is that the design has 3 different engines & booster types incorporated into the whole thing that makes it more amazing.
  16. Their store page also confirms no ‘driver’ (pilot) for the Artillery Battlepods.
  17. Just opening visors only. Pics from Joshua Willis on FB: This is all that comes in the box (other than the stand), no other weapons even: He also posted some images of the drone:
  18. Updated info on the Artilillery Battlepods, mainly on where the LEDs are. Note that Artillery pods do not come with pilots. Pilots will be available separately.
  19. I thought I wanna insert a ‘preorder cancelled’ joke somewhere, but ok she has both eyes. A few more pics, this time from Jimmy Yu on FB. Gotta say the color combo chosen really matches well with each other, as of the nicely done tampo prints..
  20. Can't tell from this image if it's just shading or something, but is Gate supposed to have only one eye? Anyway this is a nice group image of all the Breakers team..
