YF-21 please, Arcadia. Bandai's just started on their 1/48 line, whereas Arcadia's finished the main bunch (aside from Kakizaki and VF-1As), plus being different scale. From here I could see Arcadia going straight to the more valuable VF-1 versions, like VT-1, VF-1D, VE-1. They could also focus on non-macross stuff for a bit, and let the various SV-51 hold them over while they try to (re)engineer something new. Maybe they'll do a re-print of the Yamato VF-11?

I reserve the right to disagree. My opinion on the prequels is best summarized as NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -
Friday 12am PST, as in the midnight where Thursday becomes Friday.
-
It's also interesting to note that the hardpoints aren't the standard Bandai style, they instead look very similar to the Yamato/Arcadia style.
-
FYI, looks like the P-Bandai gold plated HG Phenex (narrative version) is a retail release in USA, USA Gundam Store's got it for $45.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Sanity is Optional replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Wrong Gundam thread. -
I see a huge amount of leg articulation, nice looking in all 3 modes, movable flaps, and even tampo of Hikaru Ichijo on the canopy frame. For under ¥20,000 Yeah, I'll get this, and prob the whole line.
-
I think I'll skip supers for the Kairos, but I'd absolutely grab armored packs for all 3 of mine. If only for the weapons pod and arm gattlings. edit: Anyone who's gotten their VF-31S: does it look like there are changes for the armored pack? Extra tabs, slots, or the like?
-
Reminds me of Gundam Heavyarms.
-
Well, the art of the guy with the extending fingers, and Alita's various arms, makes me think that they're trying to be a bit true to the manga. So that's good.
-
Pretty much. They already sell their 1/60 tampo'd VF-25 and -31 figures for lower retail than the Arcadia 1/60 VF-1 figures. When you add in that the VF-1 is smaller, and the Arcadia tampo'd premiums are almost ¥30,000 it's reasonable Bandai could undercut them.

I want a Deculture/Itasha white night SV-262.

Full Metal Panic! Action Figures
Sanity is Optional replied to Archer's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm in for two, certainly. At the very least need Mao and Kurtz. -
CDJ just sent an email that they shipped my VF-31s as of about 8pm PST.
-
Well, you're in luck. Looks like Bandai's in the 1/48 game now. 1/48 VF-1J pre-orders are this Friday JST.
-
Ah, so you're the one. I'm interested to see how bad it is, since they listed at B grade.
-
Don't use Tamiya washes on bare plastic, you must gloss coat first to keep the enamel thinner from eating your plastic.
-
Damn, Mirage supers already up to 12k, glad I got one through pre-order.
-
Fresh shipment from NY. Surprised at the size of the box for the GM Dominance, thought it'd be a small-form like the GM Sniper II.
-
Creepy eyes and all, still making me want to pull the manga off the shelf and give it another readthrough.
-
CDJ's showing in-stock, but they still haven't sent an email saying they've shipped my pre-order. Oh well. [edit] Going to the order says it's "In Shipping Process"

YOU'RE YELLOW! VF-25F turning all sorts of colors
Sanity is Optional replied to armentage's topic in Toys
Fortunately, modern plastic compositions are a lot more resistant to UV light than the stuff used in the 80s. -
Depends if Arcadia's announcing any VF-1 figures. If all they've got left to do are things like VF-1D/Elintseeker/Super Ostrich then I don't think Bandai's VF-1 will change much.
-
The more people I see saying they're skipping, the more I'm hopeful the PO night will be easy. Also, the less I believe you all.
-
Through Ebay, $125+shipping IIRC. Fairly good condition, a bit dusty, and one of the crossbar clips has a tab broken off (still in the box, haven't re-glued yet). Even has the gunstrap.
