So Figure-Arts フィギュア王 (317) should be out tomorrow, Hope we get some pictures of the DX Chogokin Super Ostrich!?
-
Looks Like @jenius has been burning the midnight oil to give us a new review! Thanks for that 👍🏻
-
It's for nostalgic reasons that these are a thing, A lot of us old farts started with these back then, so that alone make them worthwhile ! A lot of newer toys are a lot better detailed and have better collectors value! 🤓

Ja, sadly my mom gave away all my original Takatoku's in the early 90's. Was glad to get all the reissues in around 2002-2005. I bought a Yamato 1/48 VF-1A and strike set back in 2003 and wasn't overly impressed by the lack of printing, still have it but now it's DX Chogokin all the way! 🤪
-
Nice! So how many do you still have to get?
-
On the DX version you don't need a tool! 🤣 From what I see some things are good and some stuff is just questionable!?
-
According to P-Bandai release date of 📆7月発送予定!? (17th. July), we only have a month to wait till we finally get first pictures! Funny that the VF-1D also had the same release date in 2021. Hopefully we will get an unboxing soon, as well as some magazine articles before the end of this month! Can't wait for this bird and hope Bandai doesn't let us down... then we should get an announcement on the DX超合金 VE-1 エリントシーカー by the end of July with a release in December. 🤗

I don't think that changing things on the Chunkies would be useful! The appeal is the simple, and easy transformation and nostalgic build! This is what most people started with... So changing the overall basics is not going to sell, We already have better build Valk's, so the only need to release VF-1's that where teased from Takatoku back in the days! like the VF-1D... But like @sh9000 say's, we will probably see Bandai DX Chogokin Destroyds before we see another release of any 1:55 😢 Still can't beat a firing GU-11 Gunpod though! 😂

I don't even think that Bandai know's how large the VF-1 series is going to be. Although the should! If they ever release the VF-1A standard mass-production machines in DX format the missile situation is going to get even worse if they aren't included with that unit!
-
So going back on some research, there was actually three releases of the missile set VF-1, First was May 2019, 2nd June 2020, and then there was a third that was a lottery from January 21-27 2022 released in February 2022, so it is possible that this could come up again!?...
-
So the last two (Mech Guts) edition from Mandrake went at 46,000 and 48,000 yen respectively! That with the current yen price is actually not bad!?

Macross Plus Ultimate Edition Blu-ray Release Thread
grogall replied to sh9000's topic in Movies and TV Series
Sorry only ever watched S.D.F. Macross, is Macross Plus the second part of the series and was there a box relies for S.D.F. Macross? -
Thanks for the link! Kinda scary that we get informed about PO‘s, with one day heads up!? This going to be the norm for now? Almost makes it that you can never go on vacation…
-
So from this picture I would surmise it’s 1/72 scale?
-
Well you could review the DX Chogokin VF-1D if you want something to do!? Or the GBP?
-
It doesn’t look all that bad! The panel lining is something to get used too… Everything seems to stay in place when transformed but more videos are needed! I really hope that @jenius gets his, for review soon and shows us the differences.
-
Thanks! There are some magazines out there which do show mounting guides, but not sure how "canon" they are... For 2 Hard Points (Per Wing), Google Translates.... Like conventional fighters, the VF-1 mounts its weapons under the wings even outside the atmosphere where there is no aerodynamic effect. This is because the upper surface of the wings is assumed to function as armor on the back when in Battroid mode. Another reason is that the same part has spoilers that are used as movable surfaces in the atmosphere. Hard points are located on blocks 1 to 8, two on each side, and the first interstellar warfare. For 3 Hard Points (Per Wing).... From Block 9 onwards, which were built after the war, there were three hardpoints each. A certain number of aircraft with five hardpoints were also produced. However, even with the addition of more hardpoints, the size of the weapons themselves meant that the standard equipment around 2010 could not accommodate many, so there was no actual change in payload. This addition was made to allow for more room for the load in case new weapons were developed later, and the rigidity of the main wing was also improved. And I was also answering @Radioguy question on the paints in that post! 😉 And I, honestly mount mine until they look good! 🤪
-
It was posted as a paint guide for @Radioguy, not for scale nor mounting points...😉
-
I Think I'm good...
-
Something tells me, this year is going to be really expensive!...😱
-
Since the VF-1D also has moulded as well as painted over areas, like the chest and leading edge wings and these don't seem to suffer from any huge colour differences. I'm kind of hopeful that Bandai will have solved this issue!? but sadly we still have a couple of months to wait for the bird, before we fry Bandai for the mistakes...😂

Hayao Kakizaki Super VF-1A (Mechanic Edition) is still one of my favourites! 🤗

Thanks @jenius, for pointing out that the scale is not 1:60, not sure why I was under the impression that the High-Metal R line was 1:60!? But it's also probably why I don't have any... But did find this official information on scale. So thanks for pointing that out! As for the colour inconstancies on the HM-R ostrich I found this posted from @Vi-RS, back in 2018! So not sure how widely spread this was...
