    Best drone display mode!

    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.

    Their store page also confirms no ‘driver’ (pilot) for the Artillery Battlepods.

    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:

    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.

    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..

    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..

    I just opened mine, and messed with it briefly only in Fighter. The matte finishing looks really nice, but I'm struck by how solid everything feels in this mode. In hand, there isn't the usual flexing feel in a random area or two one might get with other Bandai DX. Taken together with the matte finishing, it feels very much like an Arcadia valk, which is always a good thing in my books. I really like how the wings are now tight, nicely flushed & properly aligned with the fuselage. When I compare in-hand feel with the old CF, the old version actually does have the same solid feeling when the parts come together to form the whole hull. It's just I never really noticed it before because the wings always had some slack on them in a way that was always distracting, plus more distraction of having to concentrate avoid touching or putting finger pressure on the damn triangles while handling.

    VF-171EX Revival. Cautiously optimistic that the issues of the old 171 have been fixed.

    I remember there is slight difference in tone between parts when new.. some are slightly cooler and other areas are warmer white. So your's look pretty much as good as new.

    Those tabs are par for the course on a VF-1 right? I'm seeing all modern iterations of VF-1 have them..

    Nice to see when a display comes together

    Looking nice so far. Waiting for mine to be in stock at Hobby-Genki. One possible shortcoming is that there is no unmasked head for Gate; I wonder why they went with that decision. But perhaps it won't matter much since we won't really identify with this character anyway. The flying drone thingy looks like it has a character all on its own. The first thing that pops to mind is Opa-Opa from the very old shooter Fantasy Zone lol; or its incarnation in the Zillion anime series. Perhaps swap Houquet's head into this body and pretend it's another iteration of her reimagined armor haha.

    I feel most collectors go through roughly the same stages in their collecting journey. In no particular order - from tentatively dipping toes, going all in, starting small displays, migrate to whole display rooms, picking up multiples, filling in companion pieces, overcoming the mental pain of broken ones, to finally facing the dreaded running-out-of-space problems that forces one to finally confront the anguish of having to pare down collection lol. At each stage I finally identify with old posts that I previously read from collectors who have been in this game longer than me (this forum archives old threads well, it's nice to go through old conversations, something modern social media is really bad at). I'm at the culling collection stage now, very reluctantly at first, but it's pretty easy to sell off the duplicates but moving to sell the only copies I have of something is the next mental block.

    @the white drew carey very nice work!

    I remember Kara, watched it when it first came out and yeah it was pretty cool. Eventually played the game when it finally released many years later. Gameplay was average but it was among my first forays back into modern console gaming, so was sufficiently impressed by how much the visuals have moved forward by about 15 years when I first quit console gaming.

    Yeah the face on Max really needs adjustment. Cautiously optimistic that the costume material will be adjusted as well, seeing how they have also did that for Dana’s.

    Nice! Getting excited for Ride Armors all over again. As much as the other new Breaker designs look funny, I’ll likely collect them all. They seem to have stalled btw.. Hopefully them & Tread still in pipeline.

    Pics of 1/12 Max, now displayed in KC’s store.

    This is pretty cool. It reminds me of the 2020 movie Archive. Although looking back now it doesn't look anything like it, it just somehow gives off similar vibes..

    I was always interested in how they would have done removable armor for Dana; it would have been tough even for 1/6 scale whilst keeping the right proportions. Anyway for the Battle Pod pilot, KC has confirmed it will be articulated. I’m just wondering now if it will be as articulated as their other 1/12 figures, or just simple joints enough to fold it into the cockpit. But I’m optimistic on the former as it’s size appears large enough for more modern joint articulation.

    Just noticed that the release date for their 1/12 Max figure is now June 2024 lol. Still no sight of 1/12 Miriya, back when they offered it with the VF-1A Max & Miriya Metal Editions.
