    That almost sounds like Y-MSF. (Toho-licensed Godzilla figure producer) They had a site years ago, and wasn't worth keeping it up, so now they sell stuff as if they were bootlegs via social media despite being above board. A shame for Arcadia, as even KitzConcept keeps a site up.

    I don't wanna hear that. Wasn't the VE-1 supposed to be "close"?
  3. Radioguy
    To mention that in a tweet... Gotta be bad.

    DX YF-21 $215 at Amazon again.

    That's correct.

    When I say that in other collecting communities, I get brushback that Bandai markets and sells to Japan, and we in the west are not considered. Yeah, right.

    I'll have to experience one in hand to know, but the chunkiness screamed 1/55 playability or better. If it meets or exceeds that, then that's its selling point; not its appearance.

    I absolutely love how they've paired them as a kit. Definitely worthy of someone's approval...

    Guess you missed my follow-up post. I had really meant completed model (or toy). I can't handle kits anymore beyond a pre-painted snap-together one. At least something like what Pegasus did with the Paramount '56 War Of The Worlds license. A kit, then a completed model, then a completed lit one, etc.
  11. Radioguy
    I suppose I should have said "completed" model, or, basically, "toy". My hands saw their last model kit some time ago. 😔
  12. Radioguy
    Love the Cygnus. I'd own a model if a mass produced one was made.
  13. Radioguy
    Must have missed it! Thanks, interested, but trying to finish off my woodland camo 1A first. Well, if you run across it...let me know.
  14. Radioguy
    Damn. Been looking for that for a long while; even on here.

    Sadly, for me, I have the one VF-1J to commit, and Carpal Tunnel to boot, so I won't be the one to try. I had been in contact with the guy who did that fab DX VF-1S Jetfire custom to hire him to do that 1J reissue up as AXOID, and he was the one to state the joints (some of which are exposed) won't take paint, and will basically ruin the appearance. That is, unless dye was used for those parts, and he had yet to ever try that on a custom. So, here I am.
  16. Radioguy
    Well, if the dye is darkening it (white or grey to maroon), I'd imagine it would pass. Dye weakening nylon is new to me though. It does that? Again, in my case, it would be a light grey turned maroon surrounded by either the same color or black parts. I think we're good if dyeing would work. Anyhow, if anyone here has done it to Bandai nylon parts, I'd love to hear about it!

    Interesting. In looking at the different sellers selling Valkyrie Factory stuff on AliEx at the moment, the one that still has the clear covers (as well as strike packs) now has a PO up for GITD stickers for the Yamcadia SDF-1 to make it closer to a PF, as well as mini valks and destroids to scale for it. That's irresistible. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809172465008.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809083776895.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807497365316.html

    Same. Valkyrie Factory stuff is the knockoffs rich wives have made of expensive jewelry they keep in the safe at home. 😄
  19. Radioguy
    VF still sells the clear set, and the strike pack too. Makes for good mixing and matching between VF and Fugu releases.

    Still looking at my sealed 25G Rev. Wanna open it tomorrow.
  21. Radioguy
    Starting to hate I missed the BIJ PO now.

    In deference to @David Hingtgen, if I'm threadjacking here, let me know, and I'll create a new thread, but the title of this one just seemed too on the nose for me to resist adding a related question... Has anyone successfully dyed the nylon DX joints other colors? I ask that, because it was told to me that those parts of a DX would not take any paint if a custom repaint were attempted, and their visibility in their cast color would ruin the appearance if the repaint were in a contrasting color. (Specifically, I had asked someone to customize the recent VF-1J reissue in the Revell AXOID (maroon/black) livery.) If there has been success on that front in relation to the DX parts, I would love to know. I'd still love to own a proper AXOID VF-1J in my lifetime.
