Graham Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I really love how from some angles the swept wing VF-31 resembles the VF-19F/S, which is one of my all time favorite VFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neoexcaliber Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Wow. The Mirage custom looks really good as a toy. I didn't like it in the show but the DX version looks really alluring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Gorgeous, I love the nose and canopy profile. I think the VF-31 is my new favorite looking VF. It so reminds me of the VF-19F/S, which is another of the IMO prettiest looking Valks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Not only are the mechanical designs pretty but those schemes are killer... Each one of them. Macross Delta is really at the top of its game concerning Macross shows... I need that Messer Valkyrie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlogic Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Interesting that VF-25 looks more “organic”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm surprised Bandai went to that length to produce 5 copies of a still obviously unfinished prototype. They look good, though I'm not sure how many I'll pick up. Mirage at least, and probably Chuck, but I'm running out of room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurance Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I wonder why they went backwards from the swivel waist of the YF-30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 It seems like the shields of the Super Parts are pegged into the hard points on the forearms. I hope that the introduce other forearm add-ons that include some sort of weapon. Like a mini-missile launcher or a grenade magazine.

ChaoticYeti Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Matte is a good look for these. Hopefully that is the way they are going. The schemes look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yes, Bandai had better continue the use of matte finishes they started with the YF-30 and VF-19. The gloss finish makes all their previous valkyries (even the renewals) look cheap next to my Yamato valkyries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Wow, based on these pictures I think I like MIrage's Valk colors the best of all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Amongst head units integrating with fighter fuselages, I prefer hayate's single unicorn beam laser the best. It looks like a proper antennae in fighter. This is followed by mirages lack of antennae but nicely integrated head makes a sleek fuselage. Messers lil horn looks like a hair that didn't get gelled down heh but at least the paint scheme flows. Chuck's lil white nob also integrates well in fighter but his head color doesn't flow with the grey fighter lines. As for arad I still can't get over those walking cane lasers but not a biggie. Fighter profile still flows nicely. Edited May 20, 2016 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karaoke Ninja Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hayate's canopy is still clear and the arms are missing the blue stripes. Is this still the same prototype from months ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfinkel Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 But but but my cabinets are nearly full, where am I going to be able to put all these gorgeous valks??? Seriously though, Mirage is coming close to being my fave, thise pics make her valk look so good!! I think we need a new wallet destruction gif. One where a group of valks launches a volley of missiles and destroys multiple wallets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazinger Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Mirage's story arc is really pulling me in. I love the angle they are taking with her, doubting herself, struggling to be what the world expects from a Jenius Meltran. I didn't care for the Delta 04 color scheme initially, but I'm almost ready to switch my eventual pre-order to from the 31A to hers. As much as I pefer Hayate over previous male protagonists in Macross and other series, I can't get over that bright shade of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti88 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Probably. Got this pic from taghobby, just to complete the 31 pic set! Yea baby, just waiting for them supers or armors to complete the badass look!

Mommar Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 It's too bad Bandai didn't go whole hog and just slap some 31A's in the display as well. We all know they're coming too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyD Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Are the A models actually coming too though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 There hasn't been an official mention but it seems safe to assume. After four hero variants of the 25 Bandai milked it for the A and YF versions. All they have to do is print up the YF-30's wings and slap them on the 31 bodies and it's an easy mold reuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
