Yeah, so I think he does the Mercy Rabbit MOSPEADA illustrations, like the box art for the Sentinel Ride Armor. They also did illustrations for the WAVE Legioss kits and MOSPEADA Complete Art Works book. Incredible attention to detail, especially the WAVE boxes.
-
Is that the guy that does the MOSPEADA illustrations?
-
It's a nice figure but the shin and shoulder caps keep popping off at the slightest touch.
-
Sweet, thanks! Nice pics! How difficult was it to take the helmet apart? I'll probably end up 3D printing my own visor through Shapeways (as I only have a FDM printer). Or I might have to hassle Plastic Cretins to see if he'd be interested...
-
That implies to me he rotated it too far and it broke... One of the reasons I prefer HLJ or Hobby Search, I know they will do their best to replace a piece like that if they can, or refund/return it. Mine should be here in 41 hours... Yes, I'm counting down the hours now.

While you can make obvious comparisons, they are different toys. The Beagle is my 2nd favorite toy next to the 1/48 Yamato Valkyrie, even though the Yamato 1/60 version is a better refined toy. Are those the T-REX add-on parts or third party?
-
Does this credit him?
-
Darn. Oh yeah, I think that could be an Aramaki illustration, but couldn't make out his name in the credits. It's also a much older illustration, but I still prefer the Blowsperior cowling to the other variants.
-
Are there any official Aramaki designs for a "neo" Bartley or Blowsoerior? I think the ones posted earlier were fan creations...
-
97% Isopropyl alcohol at a guess. Should remove paint without fogging up the clear plastic.
-
Thanks! Looks like it's easy enough to take the helmet apart. Looks better without the mud guard/fender too.
-
There will probably be the same story when Ray releases. Limited stock that has been canceled or refunded available at release. I think there are certain Apps that alert you, but I don't really use them. Grab that Stick if you want it, it probably won't be there too long...
-
HLJ has it in 'LOW STOCK' status NOW. Sold out pretty much everywhere else, until limited refunded stock appears... https://hlj.com/product/SET88026
-
So I should be getting good news from HLJ tomorrow morning. Possibly followed by some bad bank account news if that Evo Toys Zeta Legioss actually releases this month...
-
Anime Export have the VF-31A for 47800 JPY. Even at that price it probably won't last long... http://www.anime-export.com/product/39697
-
After a big night out, a young Shoji Kawamori came home and transformed his VF-1 prototype, but passed out mid way through. The next morning he discovered gerwalk mode.
-
Seems almost unreal that in about ten days these will be arriving at out doors.
-
Is there a Premium Edition without the tampo printing?
-
Yeah, always weirds me out that they never re-issued or re-decoed the YF-30 or 19A. They were awesome Valks.

About five years ago I pre-ordered two sets of Ghost packs for the RVF-25. AE only sent out one. When I contacted them about it they ignored me. PayPal's dispute window was only 60(?) days back then, so I had to file a reverse charge-back through my credit card/bank. That got their attention ("sorry, your email was lost/filtered etc...") and they refunded me. Boarding house accommodation amongst students and lower income earners in Tokyo is rampant/common. So there would be plenty of TWE accounts with the same address. From what I gather, you could only order up to two VF-31As per account, and BANDAI didn't fulfill all of the orders that had two, limiting them to one instead of two. So yeah, I doubt BANDAI would even care about proxy distributors. More likely a case of them not prioritising Macross over another product. Or maybe another factory problem all together... Whatever, they just didn't make quota on time and have probably moved on... They haven't closed my account. They sent a refund just before I was about to start the PayPal dispute.
-
Anime Export aren't any better. Terrible communication, and it then takes a PayPal dispute to get their attention. ---------------------- Today I requested and received my refund from NY. The NY ticket response said the PayPal refund was out of date, but it was refunded back to my credit card as I was just about to make the dispute. I ordered on the 20th of October. My theory is that a bunch of proxies that NY have used didn't receive their two orders from BANDAi, or auctioned them themselves, leaving NY high and dry.
-
They have did release the exclusive original DX Super/Armor sets with the VF-25s as a bundle, but again not a straight re-issue of the Super and Armor sets. So theoretically they could re-issue the 31A with different contents. Theoretically... I wouldn't be placing any faith in it though. After-all they didn't do it for the Renewals when they had a golden opportunity.
-
When have BANDAI ever re-issued a TWE item?
-
My GMs collection is still unbroken, including the initial MOSPEDAS, but I remember some people gluing the windscreens on, for that initial batch at least. Those ride armors were fiddly and loose. I think I still have a complete collection of the CMs Legioss and Treads, as I really liked them (initial prices were ridiculous though). Fun toys and mostly looked good, even if the proportions were off (same could be said for the Beagle MOSPEDAS though ) Yeah, three more weeks till end of month... wondering which will come first, the invoice or another delay.
-
They can look good, but the problem with the earlier CMs releases was that they were fragile and prone to breakages straight out of the box.
