I really hope this DX isnt made with the usual oily coat and the weak tampo application... That would be a huge turnoff, and one of the main reasons I stayed away from the other DXs.

Some mistransformation going on there with the cockpit lol The stabilization back plate can be dropped OMGGGGGGGG. Instant buyyyyyyyyyy, squatting mode be damned.

Oh my God.. That is just a staggering amount of detail. Amazing work. Just unbelievable.

Have to agree, I really prefer keeping boxes and manuals. Sure they took up space, but they were cool to look at, even if I wasn't playing with whatever came in them. It also meant that the producers spent time and effort making the extras meaningful and charming. Now, games are expected to be distributed digitally, and you'll rarely even find a manual, but either just a CD or a URL . Such a shame. I miss when my games came with a full flat spine manual that was more of a lorebook than a game guide. That was immersion.

who wants to place bets on the cracked shoulders though? XD

Hah, its still got the foldable leg vertical stabilizers... Which means GBP VF-X! Alright!

those are some wide birthing hips.

I think its where they pull the vertical stabilizers so far out it pops out of it's slot.

That close up shot shows the texture of painted metal... Is this thing mostly diecast?

moon shooters is close... I really would like that scheme on a toy too.

It'll be like Happy Meals. Buy everything to assemble the one you want . That or sell your spare pieces for even more money.

... What... I cannot believe they're trying to sell the Credit Card. And I know someone is dumb enough to buy it

Wow. Lol. Im honestly way more impressed by this than the DX25 when I first saw it. I still think it's a bit of wasted talent, investing it in a SD model, rather than a better VF-25 or VF-17, but hey, still awesome

Okay... So wait.. let me get this straight. There are the following versions: Tampoed with Shark Teeth but with Foxy Belle and Monster Girl decals Shark Teeth with Tampoed Foxy Belle No Shark Teeth with Tampoed Sheryl Produce Ver Sheryl Bullet Girl Decals (not sure what the other is... Cathy maybe?) Seriously... this is mindboggling. Anyway, Im glad they've made the cannons fit straight into the backpack now, but it seems like the stand isn't going away any time soon. Oh well, I can live with that. Too bad the cannons arent hollowed out though.

Eh. I'm sure if Yamato took a shot at the VF-25, they'd also produce stressed hinges too. The big reasons why I hate the Bandai DX is because of the weak tampo applications, and the sacrifices in aesthetics and accuracy. At least get one thing right if not the other.

So by that line of logic, anything you can't reasonably afford is decreasing your utility... And thus you are constantly pestering Porsche to either make things cheaper for you or not produce at all right? Well good luck on that endeavor.

I would just laugh if like the 1/$2000 model, the 1/3000 costed $3000.

I think Yamato is already doing fans a huge favor making such rare mechas available in the standardized scale, although at a high price. Can you really say it would have been better if Yamato had not released the figure at ALL, thus making it impossible to acquire and collect, even if you had the money? Too much of the 'if I can't have it, no one can' sentiment going around here. Price gouging or not, options are always better than no options.

? 40k? its 430USD. Still pricey, but it's not a car.

Actually the mass prod SDF looks to be a much more manageable size. A bit bigger than a large 1/60, but still enough to actually fit in your display, without crowding out everything else. Basically, it doesn't need it's own coffee table as an altar. . Still crossing fingers on price though.

Canards look so tiny...

Reading this thread is like watching grown men weep. >_>

... DX Tampo printing wears off in a few months. Stickers last longer!

Those underwing missile pods look huge... I wonder if they even have ground clearance considering the stubby shopping cart wheels of the VF-25 DX.

Nawh, it's just cause the Californian MWers experience heat waves hot enough to melt the tires off their cars.
