I'll just say that for a 16 year old mold, the tolerances & precision beats many toys today, including the DX, which qualify as a legendary mold in my view. It may not have the heft of a DX for its size, as it has very little metal. But the plastics is strong, withstands many transformations (though there are one or two areas that need caution less they break), and the joints won't really go weak over time.

I thought the lack of a Koji face for the pilot was inexcusable. 😒

I would have liked it as well, but I just think about it as the test type that it was with a generic test pilot. It is strange though, but definitely not a deal breaker especially when it’s tough to see inside. 

Why Koji? Kusumoto was the ace. her face would sell more kits 

i wonder if this can transform without flaking off.

Never heard of this band, but thoroughly enjoyed the performance! It does make one feel as if sitting together in a room with them. 

Yes, Fuji doing tiny desk is great.

We are getting so close. I just hope this won’t be a limited release with an exorbitant price.

Overall, the figure looks fantastic.

is this an early 2026 release? i don't think it's expected this year, correct?

i wonder if this will be higher than 450 usd?

We both know you're not going to get it.  It's going to be too small. 

yeah these things are too too small for the money.

So, I’m new to non-gunpla Gundam offerings, what is the difference between Chogokin and Metal Build?

Twich

@no3Ljm I think your help is needed

I'm out of Metal Build collecting and sold my collection 2 years ago but the Chogokin line came out after the metal build line and a few on here can give you the details. 

I believe the Chogokin line is below the Metal Build line from what the noel shared but others in here can share more in detail.

clicked on the link for luna park before reading and thought wow that's so cheap for a metal structure. then it hits me it's chogokin. 

one day i can get DYRL with subs in the US without fan sub. 

DYRL and SDF Japan only

People please be aware of LUNA PARK! Two and a half weeks ago I ordered seven DX Chogokin VF-1's, These where all marked as being in stock on there website! After several correspondence why my package wasn't being sent I was asked to use another store in the future... Yesterday the sent me a tracking number for my shipment, but only one of the seven items ordered is being delivered! I HIGLY SUGGEST NOT TO USE LUNA PARK! this seems to be another Nippon Yassin in the making! WARNING ABOUT USING LUNA PARK!

What’s funny is Luna comes on Macross world to assure ppl and then it goes back to this. 
 

kinda unstable customer experience. 

Bandai waiting for mechanic edition to fix these

you know this red orange debate reminds me of the fan racer.

i thought it was orange. apparently bandai dx thinks it's red.
