It just fits the part where it cuts to him and his lips move. but yeah, it’s such a terrible idea that the one who suggested it should be chastised As for preorder day, I saw someone mention June 3 is supposed to be Bandai Day and a bunch of preorders are going up including Dairugger, DX 1S, SHF stuff...no idea how reliable the person who mentioned it is with this info.

Yeah, I'm thinking the pre-order for this might be June 3rd, which is also my son's expected due date... But either of those things are open to change.

Hikaru blasted the wallet, as the wallet dodged the circus. I.e. You can run but you can't hide from a fully tampoed 1/48 VF-1S blasting your wallet to smithereens. Ok. Ahem. Carry On.

no3Ljm Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Ok. I just started comparing the fighter side profile equipped with packs against the YamArcadia and Hasegawa kits since I kind of got bothered on how gappy the section between the back plate to the packs compared with the other models. And not sure if the back plate really need to be recessed like that when the packs are equipped. *Middle photo courtesy of @jenius 's Anymoon site.

HardlyNever Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 It definitely could be a bad photoshop job. But I noticed nothing really locks the back plate in place on the DX 1/48, even in fighter mode (it can only go so far, but there is definitely room for it to move). So it may have fell down, and they didn't correct it, and took a picture of it. Or worse, there is something about the super pack that requires it being recessed like that.

seti88 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Were the UNSpacy on the leg packs supposed to be backwards as per hase and yamcardia? I forget... I can vaguely remember the discussion before for the gunpod unspacy orientation but can’t recall if anything was discussed for the leg packs..

Mommar Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 At this point in time the itano circus to the wallet gif makes little sense. It should now just be a timeout window and an error that your cart is empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can vaguely remember the discussion before for the gunpod unspacy orientation but can’t recall if anything was discussed for the leg packs.. The photos are just flipped to give a consistent comparison. No reason for the lettering to be backwards. But yeah, there's no photoshopping or major gap there. The back panel on the DX VF-1 can easily be pushed in. The "resting" position can actually be tweaked a little by adjusting the fold-out locking mechanism hidden under it. The rearward antenna is even spring-loaded to allow the backpack to get closer, so there should be plenty of clearance for that back panel to be pushed up flush with the chest plate. I am really glad to see the boosters will have more support than just locking into the backpack though. The position looks good, and really happy to see the DX won't have the same issues that the Yamato 1/60 did with the bending tails and scratched paint.

nightmareB4macross Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well the trap door on the back could just be that it was mis-transformed. What really irks me is the use of the crossbar to support the booster and strike weapon. It’s just looks so uninspired. Plus, I think there could have been a much more elegant solution made for the arm attachments. I have always disliked those tabs. They seem to break up the flow of the arms and arm armor. Oh well, that won’t stop me from buying at least one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
