KC going back to their KO roots.. by KO-ing themselves? How does that work
-
Not surprising that the HMR VF-0 are mini-Arcadias, because they are designed by T-Rex as well as per scan info. It's rare Bandai acknowledges the designers.
-
The scans confirms Fast Pack is included. Nothing about fold booster though. The guns that are to be plugged into the FP are separate, thinner (although barely from the pics) partsforming items.

Clearer scans

Ah Part 2 of the write-up is out. The landing gears are really in a tight space..
-
Ah yes, the rear landing gears.. it was one of the most irritating aspects of Yamato's. A slight movement backwards when adjusting it on the shelf will see the whole rear flop down. Quite puzzling that Yamato allowed it to happen, seeing how they (including Arcadia) have always paid extra attention to landing gears both in looks and tactile feel. When the DX YF-21 was initially revealed all the way back, we saw quite a few Yammies showing up on JP secondary markets, and the price did drop quite a bit then. They are back to normal levels now. We'll likely see another round of lower price adjustments when the DX actually releases.

At current secondary or new Black Friday deals, it does represent a fair deal for what you are getting. Definitely not full MSRP though.

Consolidated Megazone 23 Toy/Model Thread for 2017-2018

I rememeber the Mospeada ones. And just found the Voltron video too. -
Re-process old pics:

I don't disagree that the 0S plastic looks & feels cheap, and makes for bad first impressions, but as far as I can tell especially after having the 0D to compare, the feeling is all due to the colour or lack of it (translucence). During handling, the plastics is actually tough & strong (can't say that for the Toynami VF-1!), and the molding is very precise for how it all comes together well during transformation. Fiddy-ness is more down to tight clearances & tiny parts on some areas, but not so much imprecise fit like say, how the bigger KC VF-1s can be.
-
Seeing Bandai's approach vs Yamato's makes me appreciate even more how hard it is to translate the various details & the many hard compromise decisions the designers have to take for the YF-21. Yamato got quite a bit of flak for the thin legs, but they must have gone through quite a few design iterations before settling on what they did. Remains to be seen how well Bandai's effort will turn out, but it's great that they are taking a different approach instead of taking the easy way & just copy Yamato.

Pic from Jason Lau on FB.. Max 1A wearing the 1J Super Packs.

Good to know and even has a limit of 3.

Never had Yammie clear parts either. Did toy with idea of getting Valkyrie Factory's parts, but they are also similarly too opaque so was never motivated enough to get it. Meanwhile, let's have a look at the 1/60 Hikaru Strike Valkyrie Semi-Mechanics Edition
