  1. Armored Trooper VOTOMSROBO-DOU Scopedog – threezero store (threezerohk.com) Price: USD149.99 Release: Q3 2024 Seems to be about the same size as the HMR, perhaps a bit smaller, but I'm liking the paint application much more.. Unfortunately, pilot is fixed pose seated. Pics:
  2. If not mistaken, the HM soundbooster does need an additional connecting clip at the back for Battroid, whilst the Yamcadia ones do not.
  3. The parts list includes 'Joint parts for soundbooster'. I kept thinking they have never shown it with the soundbooster yet, but looks like I remembered wrongly. They did show it at last year's TN event: The thing is, the soundbooster looks like the old HM one that Bandai re-purposed for this display. I sincerely hope the new 'joint parts for soundbooster' means Bandai will make a new soundbooster later on and not have those parts meant for plugging in just the old HM soundbooster and leave it at that. Edit: I checked Mandarake for the old HM soundbooster price, and it appears the price have jumped quite a bit from what I remembered not too long ago. Perhaps others already have had ideas to get this since Bandai showed it with the HMR at the last TN event. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1252463731&lang=en
  4. Pics: WHITE landing gears! Shoulders will be partsforming items to swap between open & closed position. Faceplate will also be partsforming items. Leg missile hatch will be integrated opening / closing doors.
  5. https://tamashiiweb.com/item/14852 HMR VF-19 Kai Fire Valkyrie PO Date: 05 April 2024 Release: Aug 2024 Price: Yen 14,300, inclusive 10% domestic tax Available worldwide (WWM)
  6. Nice! A bit ambivalent about this line as a whole, but I'll likely get it for the Myung figure.
  7. @sc_planet Awesome! The 2JA is my next favorite VF after the 2SS, and it's great to see it in physical representation now.
  8. The thing about vintage Ogroids, is that purely by looks they aren't much outdated compared to modern versions.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...
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. That is quite a team of Joes there @Mog! Are these 1/18? They look pretty detailed for their size..
  15. 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..
  16. Always wanted a Morrigan over the years, so am pretty happy Pop Up Parade made one recently.
  17. 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..
  18. 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
