Question I brought up elsewhere: Would anyone want to see the Fix figuration line tackle the Wing Zero V.KA? It's honestly my favorite version and it shares quite a bit with the Wing Zero EW that it seems like an easy cash grab.
I'd be all over that and would even have a place for it (replacing my HiRM)
. It probably doesn't need to be said but please be careful around the wing joints of your unit. They're both tiny and super tight.

Jobby the Hong has a pretty funny review that has the leg issue. He also talks about how he modified his to fix it.

That sucks to hear, what were the issues? looseness?
General looseness in the waist and knees. It's annoying but not too much of a deal breaker for me. There's no way I'd ever display her without the stand (unless I had her in a kneeling position). She's too prone to falling over. I certainly hope they do better with the tolerances on Unit-02

Looking forward to more thoughts on this one. A lot of people have gotten it but oddly enough haven't really seen a ton of feedback.
Same. My first edition EVA-01 has issues with the legs (like my Astraea-F) I hope the second release turns out better. I'm not ordering another. Just hope the next release is improved.
-
It's basically a repaint of the Astraea-F but the joints on the Proto-GN type feel tighter and more consistent. The -F felt a bit too floppy for my liking particularly in the knees and hip joints. I don't have that problem with my Proto-GN.
-
I'd put the matte material, white or black, on the inside of the case rather than on the wall behind the case simply because that glass back is so reflective.

Hm I noticed that this VF-1A does not have articulated hands, whereas the VF-1J appears to have articulated hands. I guess the VF-1J is a limited more premium model than this one. Still need to get my hands on a VF-1J Hikaru.
Also I noticed that the missile set, though separate, came out at what 4,400 yen or something now it's like over 10,000 yen.
I’m don’t understand what you’re talking about regarding the hands. It has articulated hands similar to the Vf-1J. I haven’t researched the MSRP of the missiles. But so would imagine 10000 yen is the aftermarket price. You should be able to get them again in the summer at regular MSRP plus proxy fees.

Beautiful fun pictures there @SuperHobo! I would have never attempted poses like that if you didn’t make me aware of them. Excellent review.

wow rotating treads? this has got to be the best toy out there.
Heh, not sure if this is sarcasm anymore after you’re YF-21 comment. I missed out on getting the SoC version of this. I’m SO looking forward to a DX size version! I just wish I had gotten the other DX SoC’s when they were still available.

Thx , totally forgot about it other locations , Was thinking of the May release for Japan
Same here. Do they ship to the US or is it exclusive to whatever region you purchase at and you need a proxy like most JP stuff?

It's @Kuma Style fault I just got my first good guy Gundam. The Strike Freedom Soul Blue. Fund a decent price on Sure Thing Toys. What was retail on these at the shows? High $200's?
Holy Crap. $320 is a GREAT price for this. I think $280 is MSRP which was exclusive to Japan and aftermarket goes for $400-$500. I think I bought mine at a scalpers price of $380 thinking I'd NEVER see anything less than that due to it's exclusiveness. Glad to see this is being offered in the US now.

Yup. Value is in the eye of the beholder so to speak. A worthless baseball can be worth thousands of dollars depending on who hit it and what game it was in. Same can be said about worthless pieces of cardboard like baseball, magic the gathering, or pokemon cards. More recently those Funko's that all ultimately look the same but can fetch quite a bit of money based on what they're representing and how rare they are.
.... That's how I justify it.. Don't judge me!

I think I'm gonna have to get the sazabi now lol
Those Nu Gundams look great! Did you paint them or are they snap built and panel lined only?
-
That looks amazing sqidd! I wish I had the space to do that but I’m already taking over my master bedroom with toys haha!

So. Uh. I think I might have an addiction problem here... Recent additions in the past couple of months.

Beautiful display. Is that a giant Optimus prime on top? MAS-01? Either way. I need a higher res image of your display that I can admire.. Please upload one!
-
Damnit.. I might need two of these in my life... I wouldn't want to risk scuffing the paint by transforming it back and forth between modes. I think one would need to stay in valk mode and the other battroid.. I can live without gerwalk. For now.

In all honesty I get way too many packages sent to my home and I don't like explaining that to my wife haha! I'm actually in the other camp where I wish they had a private warehouse so I can space out my deliveries better. I still have a VF-31E still sitting in a warehouse just waiting for the right time to ship it =)

The rifle and shield seem too small to me. Anyone else here feel that way?

Yes. There's a lot of twisting and turning that you can do at that joint to setup the wings exactly the way you want. It feels scary at first so be careful.
