Scyla Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Wouldn't it be cool if they DX Chogokin releases include small figures of the idols that can be placed on the Valkyries through hidden magnets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Wouldn't it be cool if they DX Chogokin releases include small figures of the idols that can be placed on the Valkyries through hidden magnets? As a method i thk IT would b cool to do away w any tab points. Not too sure abt the idea of having the singers on the valk tho, have to see more of it in the series. Podcast did mention something abt the walkure being on the pod surfaces like a stage? If that involved magnets imagine the stuff that can b put on there..

Sildani Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Magnetic attachment points would be excellent. Now, do I trust Bandai's QC enough to think they'll get the polarity right every time? Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duymon Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I am really looking forward to these, but at the same time the MSRP of the YF-30 was like 20,000 so I don't expect these to be far off from that. Prolly looking at maybe one of each tops for this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, do I trust Bandai's QC enough to think they'll get the polarity right every time? Hmm... Wouldn't it be fun if the magnet was installed in the wrong direction and it would flick the idol 10 feet away. You could trade your faulty Valkyrie with someone who hates the idea of idols playing a major role in Macross.

aaajin Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Kinda feel meh about the battery pack. Understand where Kamamori is going, since he's always up to date with the latest weaponry techs and railgun is gaining interest in recent years, esp when a US navy ship is equipped with one. But in terms of toy, it doesnt really add to the aesthetic/functionality..basically just a block of plastic = battery pack..i.e Q : what is this block of plastic? what does it do?A : its a battery pack Edited December 29, 2015 by aaajin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A : its a battery pack They should make it a real battery with USB port to charge your phone. Added value to the Valk and functionality for the block.

Mommar Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I guess Kawamori found an even worse use for the backpack than stadium lighting missile box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 battery pack..? are they running out of idea's or something? I guess watching the anime in its entirety will reveal if any of the new stuff actually works or not.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tochiro Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I guess Kawamori found an even worse use for the backpack than stadium lighting missile box?Hell no, it's awesome. I mean, it's a boomerang charger! \(^o^)/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hell no, it's awesome.

Does it mean that unfolded, it provides a standing platform where the singers can perform during battle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tochiro Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 The vf-31 container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 A few more screen caps: The RVF-31 has no stage as a container but rather a radar dish where the idols dance upon: Since you can see planet between the legs/engines I assume it can transform into a rectangle. An image of the boomerang launchers in the rear fuselage of the Shinigami VF-31: Looks like the DX toy will have lot of play value especially since the VF-31 has a high-speed mode where the forward swept wings fold down: I'm really looking forward to all the VF-31 toys. With the different containers and the different head design and lots of movable parts it will look awesome. I'm super interested in how the mid-season upgrades will look like.

Moosey Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Just beat me to Scyla, so the yellow -31 is an RVF-31 or is it an interchangeable mission pod setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I just gave it that name because it seems fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 New Super parts. They rest on top of the wings, and might connect to the bottom hardpoints as well. The double-thruster appearance reminds me of the VF-11's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRYO Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Just beat me to Scyla, so the yellow -31 is an RVF-31 or is it an interchangeable mission pod setup? Seems that radar can fold into the container bay, as when Reina jumps off the yellow vf31, that radome disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Along with the Valkyries I want all of the Regults, Glaugs, Q-Raus, and Destroids in 1/60 scale. Come on Bandai make them all.

abbadon Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Seeing it in action got me more interested in the VF-31. Can't wait to see more of its gimmicks. Arad's Valkyrie actually looks better in the anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saburo Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) ill get a full Squadron, no question absolutely! Me three! -b. Count me in! Runs the numbers, 5 x VF-31 and 5 or 6 x SV-262.

cinello Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I see VF-31 with RVF-31 and SV-262 with super-part and more VF-171 desert color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 2 things missing from the toy 31 promo pics were the hidden leg compartments that stored the boomerangs, and high speed mode. I understand abt spoilers on the boomerang, tho the high speed gimmick wouldnt reveal much sub-plots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 one of each I think will do me fine! You meant one of each with different container pods. Right, Spanner? What's gonna happen if each individual 31 has different 'super/armor' parts in the future? As for me, still pass if there's no red, black, white/tan color.
