For anyone like me needing a refresher:

 

Man… I wish but I doubt Bandai will ever release it. Maybe a company like MoShow, Toynami, kitzConcepts, or Threezero will have the guts to release something like that under the Robotech brand.

They never even teased one. It doesn't mean all hope is lost but with the DX just having been released, it seems unlikely.

I could be wrong but I was pretty sure they did so in a tweet prior to the pandemic. You could *just* make out the leg and armors of one. That was about it though. I don’t think that was a VF-1D. I’ll have to go back pretty deep in this thread but it was here in the forums that I saw it. 
 

edit: I couldn’t find the actual Arcadia tweet but I do remember being excited about this one.

Does D4toys charge upfront for pre-orders?

Yes. I just ordered from them last night.

Ordering from Amazon is $300 plus tax (CA) comes out to $330. Ordering this from D4 with the missile set bonus is $337 shipped.

Is Pose+ utilizing any of the transformation improvements that Sentinel did with their Legioss?

The change in the cockpit/nosecone process was a massive improvement for soldier mode.

I have no idea. I think only a 3D printed prototype has been shown thus far. There are images of it in this thread. I would look for them but am responding to this on my phone.

So, I've been waiting to get a Legioss for years. Is the Riobot the one to get?

It’s the best out right now and a Tread is coming out for it but overall the Alpha is tiny. Maybe 6 inches tall in battroid mode for a $250 figure. A Tread is around $350 and I think having both will be well worth it. 

If you’re willing to wait and have the cash Pose+ will come out with a 12 inch Alpha in a year or so. It won’t be cheap and I’m estimating ~$400+ but it will be a top notch high quality figure going by their current extremely expensive but high quality Pose+ figures they currently have out now. 

Love the size and don't care so much about perfect transformation based on my experience with Sentinel.  The only thing I hate is Scott's face. Sentinel really nailed the look on their iteration.

After some breakages and cracks with Sentinel and my old Gakken Mospeada, I think I'm ok with the parts forming. I just want a larger scale version of what I have now at a reasonable price. The parts forming also allows for better articulation so maybe I can pose it and make it look natural and/or stylized. Also, after dealing with many third party masterpiece scale transformers, I don't want to have to deal with using tools to transform and enjoy my toy at this point in my life.

Ok so is this a "P Bandai Only" type sale or can we expect to see it on other vendors sites?

Also What is the US time release for this?

From P-Bandai US's website. You can expect it to go live at midnight PST on Aug 2.

 Really great version and I have the hi metal versions of it but these have a heft to them that makes them a cut above. 

What version are these and where can I find them?

@Robin-11 check it out. Looks like they tease a few more at the end of the video.

Also, standard release DYRL version (for possible re-release) vs Premium Finish Version for those who've forgotten courtesy of www.anymoon.com

Sorry, i just can't enough! Great model to take pictures of.

How’s the build quality of the sky x studio version? I’m tempted to get these but I went for Blitzway’s version instead.

Nice! How is it? Do you like it?

It's a great quality figure. great weight to it and the joints are super tight.. almost scarily so initially. I mainly just took it out of the box, added the cape and posed it. I did not try out any of the hand or weapon accessories. There was a warning in the instructions to not swap out the hands when it's cold and to use a heat gun/blow dryer prior to attempting to do so. I took that as a hint that I might break it. The getter beam belly opening gimmick also doesn't quite function as intended as it catches on something internally. Not sure what's going on there.

I don't think it's as good as the Boss Borat figure that just came out though.

Does anybody know when the new carbotix black getter will be released? First date was december 2023 and i was under the impression that the toy was actually released in Hong Kong. Despite this, everything is silent on the usual japanese websites, including the one i placed the preorder with...it doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere yet and no live pictures either.

I just received mine from BomBusBee about a week ago and that's with a 2-3 week shipping time. 

I need an update on this thread please! Amazing work!

Yep, just shy of 13 inches tall. Definitely an Alpha only release, a Beta would be massive. 

I would imagine this is going to be rather expensive. 

Yeah.. Pose+ releases are generally in the $400-$700 range.

Moducases finally arrived. They didn't come with any instructions so it took a bit to figure out how to assemble them.

1/4 of the way through... 

Nice! How long did they take to get delivered to you? I can’t wait to see what your display looks like when complete so please share when you do!

Pose+ is making this Alpha. Judging by other pose+ offerings you can count on the quality and price being high. I would assume this will cost around $400-500.

Very first model kit built back in the day..
Up till that point, always thought model kit needed glue & paint like in even older days, so was pretty stoked that it can look like a decent toy with a straight build out of the box.

I got the Zeta because it could transform, but once it was built, that was when I learned model kits are not toys and the idea to transform it was quickly abandoned lol.

 

That’s the RG Zeta. It’s such a hand grenade that I’m surprised you actually have it posed. I could barely stand mine up because everything moves the second you touch it.

it looks so damn good, open up the POs for this one already!,   I hope the materials used are good quality, one of the reasons I stop from buying the Riobot versions is cause it looks so fragile  and  the price is kinda high for what they are offering, and since this is Moshow I have high hopes for it.  

MoShow has a great track record for delivering high quality robots with excellent articulation, materials used, and diecast content. You can check out ShowZ for the products they've created and check out YouTube for reviews.

That Alpha will stand over 12 inches in Battloid mode. I’m sold. Pose+ has impeccable quality but at a very premium price. 

Where on facebook? I miss Yeti Stands and wish I has the option to purchase them again. I don't care if these are copies either so long as the quality of the material matches the original.

Thanks!
