  1. Thanks Mommar. So the later release is the one with metallic wings but flat body paint? And the first release is metallic body paint with dull wing paint? Just want to confirm if I understand correctly. And the latter release is the one with BAF part, correct? Is there any link or photo I can check for which is which? Again, thanks for the insights on this. This is basically the first time I'm going to collect a group figure by Marvel. So I hope I'll get or be able to complete it without hassle.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Yeah. I understand the concern. But atleast, Bandai is doing something, market-wise, in preparation for the future just in case the legalities is done with HG. All in all including shipping locally and internationally it's Y39446. The Valk itself when I won is Y31500. If only the seller is not a 'used shop' but it's an individual seller, I wouldn't have to pay Y2540 consumption tax. Give or take, without the tax it's should've been Y37000 only. So it's Y10000-12000 more than what I've paid for from my NY order. As of now, there's another VF-31A up for grabs at YJA with only 9 hours left.

    Hi-Metal R

    I remember seeing this back in the 80’s in a hobby magazine in Japan. At HMR scale we can replicate this using 1/12 scale bikes. Like the upcoming Figuarts Rin Suzunoki & GSK 400S Katana set.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Got today the VF-31A that I've won via Buyee/YJA. Description says it's used but the only opened part is just the box. The Valkyrie and its contents is still taped and intact. No blemishes on the paint as others pointed out before. All is good for this purchase.

    Ooooh. That list is so tempting for me to get the big gun.
  6. True. I now only realized the thread title. So stupid of me. Fixed my earlier post.
  7. I have a feeling that Major Tom posted here because there's no Third Party Gundam Kit thread for it.

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    I've updated my situation in the Blacklist Thread. Case closed in favor of me. Again, stay away from this seller: chenchenchenhui.

    Hi-Metal R

    Hahaha! Well, officially that 'photochopping' term is more for the DX VF/YF-19. And to be honest, seeing the above picture reminds me of the YF-29 30th Version with a different canopy color. And I have to say, I DO like the color they used in their marketing photos.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Point taken. But who knows, right? I mean maybe Bandai just seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and they're just preparing their Chess pieces until the said impending legal proceedings with HG.
  11. Thanks sh9000! Looks like I have to track down the X-Men. Question on the Archangel. You mentioned there was an early release. Which one should I get if ever? Hey Mommar! Thanks for this insight. Looks like I'm sold on getting the Marvel Legends line just to complete the 2 teams. And it's much cheaper compared to the other two lines.

    I'm loving that Magnum 357 looking gun. Sad to say, it's the only thing I want from this figure for me to buy it and pay it full price. Then why Bandai marketed it as 'Nexx Gilbert' unit only then? Even the promo pic is shown with a different painted pilot figure. They should've added '/Hibiki' on the unit's name and put an extra Nexx figure.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    It's all about the color, sir. It's all about the COLOR. Btw, I just added that orange color for his upcoming Armored Parts.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I think they DO care about international markets.
  15. This is why I don't load out the missiles. I remember my first foray on putting those when I bought my first used Yamato V2 Valk when I started this collection and noticed that the clips on the missile is loose and it got more worst when I tried to put it. In my head, I thought they should've just used small magnets for easy installation and removal.
  16. Oh really? That's good to know then. And that's under the Marvel Legends line?
  17. I see. And that's my dilemma. I mean, I'm really not planning on collecting the whole team per se. If ever I am then I wanted for them to come out from one series rather than get each character from different series. Yes, I do want to have the X-Men Jim Lee Blue and Gold Team figures as long that it's the same line. But at this point we can't get it from just one line. And even though there's already available Rogue figure from ML 2 years ago, I somehow preferred the upcoming one from Marvel Select. And with that, I'm just thinking should I just get the characters that I like. Then, I will realize that the Cyclops I want is released via ML line and the one from MS is the old costume. So in a way, I won't be able to get the characters I like from a single line. I might preorder Revoltech Gambit in the hopes that there might be a Rogue figure and Cyclops in the future. After all, it reminds me of their design in the Capcom games which I really like since it's a anime version of Jim Lee's design. If not, then I might just get the MS Gambit while it's still cheap and place a preorder for Rogue.
  18. Thanks Mommar! So it looks like they're probably out of scale with other Marvel figures. And to be honest, even though I know Wolverine is shorter than Gambit, that picture of them together left me an impression that Wolverine is too much out of scale with Gambit. Hope I'm wrong though since I'm considering on getting Wolverine if I decided on preordering Gambit. And that's why I wanted to get the Marvel Select Gambit since that one have the accessory that shows he's throwing cards with effects.
  19. As much as I would like that sentiment, it would be hard since they need final approvals from Big West and Kawamori for them to start mass produce it. Out of curiosity though, how much do you guys think that Kawamori and Big West has to say on all things? Are we talking like 100% from design to prototypes?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    I don't think it's a QC issue. Bandai should've mentioned something on their blog or twitter. Kind of what they did after the upside-down SMS. Both of the VF-31A I ordered before including the one I received from NY didn't have any QC issues on the paint finish. Looking forward to check the third one after I get it to see if there's some QC issues on it.
  21. Ok. So questions, guys. I only have the first generation Revoltech figures such as Evangelion and Getter Robots. Not to mention the Fraulein line of Eva girls. How's the quality of today's Revoltech? And how they scaled up with regular figures like Marvel Legends, Figuarts, Figma, etc? And is there a link somewhere that I can see some pics of them together or along with the other figure line I mentioned above for comparison? Would love to hear your thoughts before I dive into ordering this Gambit. Thanks in advance!
