Ok. Guess it's official huh. 6pm JST. Oh well, if I missed it, will try to nab one when they try to open some.

And ofcourse, for people who prefers the Japanese audio with English subs like me. Here's the Japanese version.

I toned down the bottom pic to match the overall brightness of the top 2 pix. And I have to say this mod looks awesome.

Oh man. Y38200 instant payment. 

And from the looks of it. The first one looks more 'Hulkbuster' than the Version 2 is. Or the Version 1 is more fit to be called Hulkbuster than Version 2. Or something to that effect. I have to think about this first.

Thanks! Glad you guys liked it. 

I know this is kind of late. But I had to do it after I got home and as quickly as possible so I can share it before the PO starts tonight... well, in the wee hours of morning. Hehehe.

VF-31J Kai 30000 JY

...I had a discount code so I bought one 

Wow! Y30000? Should I just dump my VF-31A order with them and get my second VF-1J Kai instead? Hmmmm. 

I have to agree this one looks awesome.
 

But my WALLET MONSTER looks more appropriate. Don't you guys agree?

Hey David. Actually, I'm ready until I found out it's going to be 6pm JST. Need to order both this and MB Strike.

Is it me or the bottom fin paint is wrong compare to the show?

I posted this from the previous page to see some differences with Arcadia and Bandai releases. Pic from Anymoon.com.

They're doing quite a few changes apparently.

Cockpit, feet, adding mount-points for the fold booster and arm weapons, are there any I'm missing?

I wonder if they will add better hip joints since they're already doing a bit of re-molding work.

I'm adding here the wing by the cockpit area. Bandai's VF-19Adv folds differently from Arcadia. And Arcadia is following lineart. Not sure if Bandai will change that for its YF-19. Original photo from Anymoon.

Off-topic; Y'all old 

I may or may not be in the same age bracket 

Good thing I didn't say my true age. 

Just now, ZorClone said:

Nah, not that.  Gah this is gonna drive me nuts.

Let's filter out then. From what you remember, is it US made cartoon or Japanese/Foreign cartoon?

On a side note I also never understood the allure of fitting a standard Figuarts Ironman into the Figuarts Hulkbuster. Maybe at a larger scale like how Hot Toys was able to do it, but 1/12 or 6" is a hell of a stretch. I remember people clamoring for the Mafex, claiming it was SO superior because it had some dumb little bust, not even a figure, seated in the head of their Hulkbuster. Of course it came out, slightly cheaper then Figuarts, and it got slammed in reviews for bad paint, awkward design choices, no lighting or anything else impressive to speak to it's still really high price.

Probably because it's cool to have that feature. Or probably because of how much it was asking for.

At least it's not the same time as the YF-19 pre-order?

That's true.

I'm expecting this to be delayed, what with Golden Week starting on the 29th.  

I'm fine with a bit of wait, but I really need this to arrive sometime in May...

Golden Week ends on the first week of May. So you will still get it sometime in May. Though it depends on what shipping method you choose.

To clarify, I understand and am perfectly fine with it too. He just sounds miserable and seems to need some cheering up.

Hahaha! No need to clarify sir.  It's all good. All I'm just saying that everyone here is not the same.  

Just now, Kinzoku VF said:

I'm 45. No white hair....aside from my beard that's complexly white , maybe I stress too much .

Anyway, will keep the 'try not to be miserable' in mind. Just that lately, between this Kairos mess, and *meh* Cyclone...not that great.

Yep....Been using that one since forever...changed it though, so hopefully it should be readable now.

I'm 43. 50% covered with white hair. Well, my white hair started to show before I turned 30.

Hey. Just so you know, with me it's fine. I understand you and your opinion and for sure you just needed an outlet. I do too, sometimes. And once in awhile I post my toy frustrations too. And you must probably assuming that all of us will understand you just fine since we're all sharing the same likes and hobbies. But... Not everyone is the same. All of us probably share the same likes and hobbies but not all of us will understand one another all the time.  

Anyways, just sharing my 2 cents. Cheers and Happy Collecting!

I hope Bandai fixed the tabs with packs on and not just a photoshop like with the 19 Advance, and why the excessive tampo

I'm pretty sure there's the tab right there.

Apologies, I meant with the extras. Arm cannon ftw. You are right though, no valk is flawless. I have heard people say the Arcadia vf-0s is pretty damn good however. I chose the Arcadia 19 over the vf--19 because it was more faithful to the Mac plus 19 at the time. Now bandai are having a crack at it, I'm hoping this comes out on top.  

Or any transforming toys for that matter.

Oh MWF, you never fail to disappoint.

I'm still placing my orders, despite the "flaws" and despite all of the tampoo making it look the Valk has a sh!t ton of jailhouse tats.

-b.

Good for you B. I'll probably just get one and sell my VF-19Advance.  

Or still ends up getting two. We'll see.
