What will Hasegawa do next?

[Bolt]

Time flies

My point being they're not heavy on mecha like Bandai.

Just as a reference, Hasegawa started making plastic models in 1961 (they've been around since 1941!)

Scary. I remember when the 1/72 VF-1A was the new hotness!

[electric indigo]

Hasegawa knows what you really want is another VF-1 eggplane.

[Bolt]

It's cute and all, but really guys??

Why doesn't it come with a short, fat sd Minmey? Lol..

I can't believe 20 years has gone by since it first came out.......I bought a bunch when they first came out, haven't completed a single kit yet, lol!

[505thAirborne]

Dear Hasegawa,

1/72 Battroid kits please & here are some ideas: 

VF-25 

VF-11 B/C 

YF-21

YF-19

VF-171 (Fighter & Battroid) 

VF-2SS (Fighter & Battroid) + SAP

VF-31A Battroid 

1/48 VF-1 Battroid A, J , S & D.... you know you have the skills to do this. 

[KOG Water Dragon]

Welp, at least I already budgeted for it.

[ivorysniper]

Confirmed: VF-31S on Mikumo's livery expected to be issued on February 19th.

Details on this one as follows:

... and for the 1:48-scale lovers, the Max/Milia's VF-1J re-issue should be re-issued on February 7th.

 

Well, with this VF-31 series on Walkure's colors concluded, my hopes for new, fresh designs starts getting high for March.

We 1/48  lovers need/want more new model kits, not re-issues

Need some Battroid kits!! 

[Bolt]

Completely agree with this!

[kajnrig]

IIRC, the Max/Milia kit comes with reaction missiles included, right?

Comes with the Reaction missiles and my two kits had the Photo Etched parts included too.

The kits do not include the photo etch parts. 

[505thAirborne]

One of my two M&M kits. 

 

 

[Gabe Q]

I have four copies of the kit. One from hlj and the other three from Hobby Search. None of mine included the photo etch. Where did you get your kits and how much were they?

[505thAirborne]

I got both of mine from HLJ sometime ago, whatever the release price was is what I paid. Personally I think I got lucky on someone screwing up at Hasegawa. 

Now that said, none of my 1/48 VF-1S Roy, VF-1S/A Super or VF-1A/J Vermilion included any PE parts. 

[Bolt]

@505thAirborne were you selling those kits at one point?

I was going to but I think I'm just going to keep them for now. 

Since they're being Reissued it'll be easy for everyone to get one. 

[derex3592]

I want a 1:48 YF-21 personally.

That will be a logical choice and a VF-11 to complete de M+ lineup.

[VF-1A Grunt]

I really wish they would make the 1/72 VF-1 TV version pilot (from the Gerwalk kit) available separately or start including it in the VF-1 fighter kits. Maybe an updated version of the VF-1 weapons kit with both styles of pilot included.

I would pay Weapons-set prices for a similar-size box full of TV/Movie pilots...

Roid's Draken is the next recolor:  http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65865/

 

 

Coming back into production are Hayate's Siegfried and VF-0C

http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/29-2/

[Bolt]

Cool. Another 262.  I love the VF-0C.

[derex3592]

Cool recolor 

[kajnrig]

What's the difference between the -0C and others?

- 0A = Shin/CF
- 0B = two-seater
- 0C = two-seater(?) + all Ghost add-ons except for Ghost itself?
- 0D = delta wing trainer
- 0S = Roy/squad leader

EDIT: Also I didn't realize the VF-31J is a LE kit. Are all the Delta releases LE? IIRC that wasn't the case for the VF-25, right?

VF-0C is a single-seat deltawing

-0D is a double-seat deltawing

VF-31J is a regular release, #29. Keith's Draken is also a regular release at #28. Everything else Delta is LE.

[KOG Water Dragon]

So many recolors and still no VF-31 supers

[Bolt]

Yep..don't think they even reissued the 31-A. I need a few more of those.
