Like most of their stuff, it'll be a WonderFestival exclusive.

They are making the coolest valks lately--VF-3000 and VF-5000. Though they may actually be harder to get than recent Bandai stuff...

Wow, really cool stuff!

Just a question, are these toys already complete right out of the box or do they need additional assembly?

And what's the material used for these? Because I'm a little curious as to why they cost a lot.

[Bariaburu Faita]

These are pre-assembled resin kits. They are expensive because they require more time and skill to assemble than a regular toy, and the moulds have to be made every 20 units. And only 20 are allowed to be sold at a time, so development costs are not spread out as much.

If only we had members living in TOKYO who could HUNT rare items for us and SAVE us from this dilemma

Nice! Just more Valks I cann't get.

￥18,000 seems a bit expensive, I do understand they are limited and in low numbers, but we are in the high end toy range with this price. Are these final product pics? or the prototypes?

These are final product pics. They are resin kits, not actual toys. Very cool kits by the way.

[ultraman zoffy]

Looks like a very Banpresto'ish rendition of a 5000... 1/100 size valk for 18000 yen? Thats a definite hell no lol...

Hrmm, Bariaburu Faita said they are pre assembled. One thing that also bothers me about these is that the screws should have been hidden a little better. The one the goes through the intake cover really bothers me, it seems the intake cover could have covered where the screw is placed.
