    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    Looking at this pix, really makes me wonder if bandai opted for a slick and streamline profile for the VF-17S, why didnt they adopt the same approach the VF-19. At least they would have complimented each other

    At the rate arcadia is moving, i kinda doubt so thus we are stuck with being bandaied

    They should get graham in as one of the reviewers for M7 line, like what yamato did in the past. If it fails his scrutiny, then they should refine the design Oh well thats wishful thinking on my part
  5. Wish toyrise does theirs in matt finishing cos the glossy finish gives the more toylike impression

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    Am kinda stuck in a dilemma to sell or keep it. I could still deal with the non conformities and irregularities but the battroid and gerwalk modes are just horrible.

    The problem is tamashii which bandai does not intefere with its designs. We have seen so many examples in the case of the metal build line But credit has to be given to them for the past macross line designs which they did quite well except for a few isolated cases. This does not seem to be case the recent YF-21 and M7 line which was a disappointment. They could have take a leaf from yamato/arcadia designs, improve it instead of throwing in their own interpretations

    In other words we got owned by tamashii and bandai for their laziness and cost cutting measures.

    DX Chogokin VF-17S

    Ankles/thrusters jutting out in fighter mode Gerwalk mode is just horrible and has no resemblance to the OA If this is not plain laziness on tamashii part to try and frankelstein the VF-171, i dunnoe what is Is it me or the DX VF-17S is severely lacking in tampos department? Guess this will be a one off release due to the poor sales and revenue

    https://x.com/simsim5479/status/2034932024231043514?s=20 more pics by clumsy samurai Now i kinda wish bandai made the legs on the VF-19 blazer slimmer since they are going that route with VF-17 or someone can do some snap ons to beef it up

    If only Bandai DX-VF17S looks like this
  13. Was browsing Amiami for new cospa stuff and saw that they have yukikaze t shirts and jackets for PO https://www.amiami.com/eng/search/list/?s_st_list_preorder_available=1&s_st_list_backorder_available=1&s_st_list_newitem_available=1&s_st_condition_flg=1&s_keywords=Cospa+yukikaze
  14. Yup zero plan looks abit oversized. Anyways both of these 3rd party heads can be used on MB Hi-Nu with a bit of mods Wish i didnt have to go this route if the MB Hi-Nu head was somewhat true to the OA design, which was somewhat present in metal robot and RG grade designs
  15. Agree with the observations listed. I too do not quite like the design of this custom Hi Nu head Came across two other interpretations of the Hi-Nu gundam head, Tornado Hobby which is quite close to that of the OA, RG and Metal Robot design and another by Zero Plan, which is an improvement but the details looks rather busy
  16. Tks. Secured one via HLJ cos amiami too slow
  17. Woo yeah. Am going to get this
  18. Some pics of the DX VF-19..Thanks to Kin Fung Chan for sharing
