Wow you wake up, to get a message that there are 8 new posts in the, Bandai DX Chogokin 1/48 VF-1 forum and think great a new reveal 🤗 But then find its just this against that is better.... But still a good discussion! As far as Yamato vs Bandai, I think it's clear that the 1/48 scale Yamato's have their merits but don't hold up to the DX series. they just don't look all that impressive.... As to the argument that there a vast number too the Yamato line up, I say "meh" Bandai still has the up for me since they did produce my all time favorite Valk. the VF-1D, and then also did a great job on the VT-1 Superostrich, but very sadly didn't finish the mechanical detail 😢. That we haven't gotten a new announcement yet, on a new version is sad! But still 3 different versions of the VF-1 where released last year, so as far as I'm concerned they haven't stopped production yet! What and wen, something is released I just hope it's not something that is regurgitated again! But I'm still hopefully we will get a new reveal this year! 🙈🙉

Looks like Bandai is working in their a new DX Chagokin series in 1/12 scale.... hope they get the articulation to be more accurate...🙈 🤪

Mandarake doesn't have much damage on their packages ,they are usually in pristine condition if it does have heavy damage they will usually take separate photos of the damage....

First welcome to the party! The yellowing will probably mostly happen when you leave them in direct sunlight!? As for starting your collection, I would recommend Mandarake as a good place to go! You can purchase the first release Bandai VF-1J with armour parts for 40,000 yen wich is actually only 7,000 yen above the release price! since the yen is cheap at the moment its still a good start! https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1287253473&ref=list&keyword=DX Chogokin macross&lang=en as for some of the more thought after releases, sadly they are not going to get cheaper... Like the VF-1D or VF-1S Mech Guts edition! (Clear Armour Parts) Some missiles only come with the TV fast packs or if you're lucky, the last release VF-1J Hickaru also had missiles included! The stand alone missile set will sadly cost you more now then a regular released VF-1 🤮 ⚠️ WARNING! DX Chogokin Valkeries are addictive! ⚠️

I think we are still a year away from the B-ATM-03 FATTY release, If the release date for the X-ATH-P-RSC Blood Sucker is October/November we might see this March/April 2026.... The might do some other colour Scopedog versions in-between like... But again Bandai likes to make us wait (Torture) us. 😡
-
More pictures of the B-ATM-03 FATTY, still in prototype phase... And a picture of the new space, Scopedog and pilot.... Love the weapon 👍🏻 I hope they fix her hips 😱 For Comparison purposes...
-
Hobby Japan Web has posted some pictures which where used in the magazine So we can have a closer look at the X-ATH-P-RSC Blood Sucker! 👍🏻 The following seems to be a prototype 3D printed shoulder fin... I'm quite pleased with the unit! More official info will be available on the 13th. of February.... probable with a release October/November. and the pilots name is YPSILON !? For Comparison purposes...

Someone was displaying weathered High-Metal R Scopedogs at the Tamashi Nations store in Osaka, They look quite impressive!
-
So I received my third Bandai RZ-041 (Frame Unit) today, which means I can display all 4 off the Liger Zero versions, but was wandering if that's going to be it from the Bandai - Takara Tomy corporation , or will the produce more Chogokin Zoids?
-
Some details of the X ATH-P-RSC Blood Sucker, published in a magazine...
-
The Bloodsucker looks great! hope it won't take too long for it to be released! Like I mentioned in my previous post it didn't make sense to release the FATTY but not the Bloodsucker!? 👍🏻
-
@BroTaku79 The Skull Squadron stands look good ,but like others I would also prefer the black Jolly Rogers logo; too the yellow! It should match the emblem on the fast pack! Please give me a heads up when available so I can place my order! Thanks
-
Nice! Hope they get there 💩 together enough to finally release it in 1:48 DX Format! This Max VF-1A was only released in the "Origin of Valkyrie" line in 1:55? -
@Gab & @pafy6285 Thanks for the information, It's kind of difficult to keep things from Bandai in order since the Gundam IP is so vast! So the Metal Composite are also something to consider!? Is there actually a good Gundam forum site that deals with all this in English? And also other then Chogokin, Metal Build & Metal Composite, is there any other line dealing with Gundam Action Figure around the 1:100 scale? Thanks you two for the info so far! 🤗

So I have completed collecting the Chogokin Gundam series with getting the two RX-78F00 Gundam Factory models now just waiting for the EXPO2025 & Gundam EX... My Girlfriend and I started watching 00 Chronicles and since she is a Mechanical Engineer at BMW, she really likes the Gundams from the series, and we have started collecting the Metal Build 00 Reveal Chronicles and have 4 of them and waiting for the two GN arms sets to arrive, But since I'm still new to Gundams I ask what are GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE? Are these comparable too the Metal Build in quality and scale? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks...
-
I received my order today and am very impressed with @BroTaku79 work on the stands! It's nice to finally be able to mount the Valk's flying in a straight line... I do Hope @BroTaku79 will be able to also do the Skull Squadron set! But very happy how well they look on the Bandai DX series! 🤗
-
1. Yes, I need them. I'll take 6 Also do you have the stands that can fit two DX series VF-1's? Please PM me with payment detail! Thanks
-
Well received my Metal Build Kämpfer today, But will open it next week on Christmas Eve with he Sazabi, I wander which on will impress me the most!?
-
Thanks for that. I have some of the Chogokin models I'll look too Mandrake on getting a Metal Build to see what their like! Thanks for the quick info! 👍🏻 I have the Sazabi that @Valkyrie Hunter D, has pictured above but won't be seeing it till Christmas, I was thinking of getting the Metal Build Kämpfer to get a comparison between the two units....
-
Could someone please tell me the difference between Bandai Chogokin Gundam and Bandai METALBUILD Gundam!? Thanks...
-
Thanks I'll ask there....

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
grogall replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
After the great Gundam Mech's from the Witch of Mercury, I'm not sure what to say about the new ones from the GQuuuuuuX movie!? Il guess well have to wait and see how it goes but they do have a lot to get used too... -
@ChristopherB Makes a Gerwalk armor set that looks pretty nifty for 1:100 High Metal R you can find his post here! Sadly not in 1:48 DX scale yet!? 🤗
-
But these are more metal then High Metal R 🤪
