TMBounty_Hunter Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Judging purely by the boxart, are we getting decals/parts for both Hayate and Mirage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't automatically mean there will be a mirage decal or head. It might mean however, that mirage would be the next release after hayate.

However I wouldn't be surprised that he releases a fourth sortie, somewhere when hasegawa releases the last of the delta valks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 After the mild frustration that is the Bandai 1/72 kits, I openly welcome this! I bought 3 of the VF-19 Advanced kits... guess I'll get three of these too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridgebacks Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 As someone who never had hasegawa kit, is this new 1/72 from them transformable like bandai's? Or is it just fighter mode only that also needs to be painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Just fighter mode. So far Hasegawa hasn't taken a swing at Variable VF's yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 They have all three modes of the VF-1, though, in case that entices you at all. And I think the total cost wouldn't be too far off from the Bandai VF-1, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electric indigo Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hobbysearch has a large boxart pic: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10460298/30/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivorysniper Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Wonder if they'll bundle the VF-31J and -31C together, like they did with the VF-25F and -25S a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it need hip hinges, unless the Hase kit can transform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10460298 it is from Hasegawa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMBounty_Hunter Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Judging by the pic from Hasegawa's twitter, only Delta 5 decals and a single pilot figure are included I hoped Hasegawa would keep bundling Hayate and Mirage into the same box because it's best ship.

Urashiman Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I hope they make the VF-31A version with Delta Wings. The swept forwards wings just don't look good on that frame. They looked nice on the YF-19 and the VF-9, but the YF-29 just overdid it. Same for the VF-31 - it just doesn't fi imho. Good they had the SV-262 in Macross Delta - that beautiful balanced plane helped me to force myself through Macross Delta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... it seems it will be Delta 05 Only. On a side note... Sv-262Hs with Lil Drakens on July 11th ?. Soooo........ QF-4000 Ghost series any time soon ?.

Wolf-1 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hopefully, the newer Bandai Deculture kit's water-slide decals will almost seamlessly fall into place on this kit; will ditch the knighted reaper for real deal however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Oh boy. I've picked up both Hasegawa SV-262s, but I'm not sure if I'll bite on this one even if my heart says yes. There's just still too much about the design I don't like... Hopefully they'll release a 31A, limited edition or otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMBounty_Hunter Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Honestly I only want the Mirage 31, but getting Hayate might save a load of trouble getting a pilot figure for the VF-1EX pair I already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Interesting that they built it with a crystal-clear canopy, no tint at all. And yeah, I can paint very small things---but not eyebrows on a 1/72 Hayate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
