Sildani Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I was wondering about that. Lovely machine, regardless. I see it has all the necessary holes for the super parts - any idea if Bandai intends to re-issue them separately, or of they just can't be bothered?

McFly!! Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yes, thanks for the new pics! Is it just because it's new and shiny or does that valk look like it has more detailed panel lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Something else too: if it's painted, that explains why this particular example looks more matte in appearance than Brera's 27 or the previous Beta version - Bandai used a matte green paint. Wonder if that's how these new Betas will be made - Bandai will take their unsold stock of Gammas and paint them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I hope not! Has anyone figured out if they are going to paint on the modex number or will they leave them off? I would prefer stickers or dry transfers if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Considering it's a custom-painted sample, it likely has water-slide or dry-transfer numbers. Dry transfers for the actual release would be awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Brera's 27 was a bit too glossy, so this is good! (personal pref of course) Man, I sure hope they don't just repaint old stock, haha!

spanner Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 they will look awesome together! Im surprised its taken them this long to release a renewal Grace.. I'd say there will be no improvements or alterations to the original Brera mold for the new Grace.. other than the CF head unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Did the original green Grace have super parts? Some of the pics I've seen show some kind of something attached on the top of the plane. Do we know if the re-release come with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaginpit Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Hmm My wallet is grateful to bandai. Thanks for overpricing these soso toys. I am now onto other collectables.

Duymon Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Any hobby is a money sink. I Just tell my SO that she should be glad I don't collect cars or something Back on Topic, it's gonna be fun having some CF's around. I wonder if they'll at least include the transparent green canopy like on the brera? Edited April 11, 2015 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukenzero Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Back on Topic, it's gonna be fun having some CF's around. I wonder if they'll at least include the transparent green canopy like on the brera? I'm pretty sure they will. Doesn't make sense to not include it as the canopy is able to switch out as per the new design. Either way it should be gorgeous with it on. If they don't include it I'll just slap on the one from Brera's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodokast Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Did the release get pushed back? I could have sworn that it was a late June release, and now NY is showing late August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, has always been for August. June should be the VF-171 Maruyama Custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) Yes! Thanks IXTL, I was hoping new posts meant new pics. Yes, Scyla, that has been a point of contention for people who wanted to buy multiples and have a leader and two wing men. Ooooh, it doesn't come with two heads. Just the one head that transforms. Clever. Something I had not considered when picking up the unwanted super parts from the previous release, the white markings on the Brera have a light shading of red/blue in the mix. This green one will not have that... that color might clash. Edited May 22, 2015 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXTL Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Ooooh, it doesn't come with two heads. Just the one head that transforms. Clever. From what I understand from the text, the heads are indeed interchangeable. It's not just the horns, the cheek area detailing is also different.

spanner Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I just noticed that the guns are sitting in slightly different positions.. I wonder is that's just a little photo trickery happening or did they make a change to somewhere!? or its just mounted incorrectly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reïvaj Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Those pictures make it look fairly matte compared to the other 27's. It's the same painted prototype than before, so it only means they've used a nice matte paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
