I see at least one pair of TV clown hands, so there's that.

That's Nishida Nozomi, aka Makina. She's the cutest member of Walkure IMO but also whose voice I like the least.

Also, the valk looks amazing!

So that's what Makina looks like in real life, her holding a VF-1J is a beautiful sight!!

I'm beginning to wonder if he swing bar disconnects too easily. If so, I may see about glueing it since I don't want the legs constantly falling off while I'm transforming it.

Thanks vlenhoff for posting this video.

[seti88]

looks quite a fun transformation! and that clear glossed canopy immediately catches the eye in fighter mode...

came for the valk...stayed on longer for her...

btw this got my heart racing...not for her handling the valk, but for the fear those legs will collapse...

What valk? I'm not seeing any in that vid.

[spacemanoeuvres]

Neat...why do they keep taking the legs off lol?

I wonder if you can keep them on during transformation. The bit that connects the two halves looks a little fragile as well. 

Still excited to get one. Have to get some missiles too

[vlenhoff]

Sh9000, it must be new. I'm surprised no one anticipated me.

[mog_kupo]

Anyone know the title of this video? Is it "dumb girl playing with transformers"? This is so sexist, I hate it

Nothing wrong with trying a new thing. She had a little help, nothing wrong with that.

They could've just hired a girl that knew her stuff, instead of just eye candy, trying to act dumb and pretending it's cute

I had a friend handle my valks once, and he was even worse at it than she was. This IMHO is to tell you, this is easy enough even people not familiar with valks can transform it. Not everything has to be negative, you know. 

[rdrunner]

That valk looks gorgeous in the video.  I can't wait to get it and do a side-by-side comparison with the Yamato 1/48 and 1/60 v2.  Bandai please hurry up and release the GBP armour already!!

Agree and I think the intention was to show an amateur handling a DX Valkyrie's transformation for the first time.  Personally I'm not too mesmerized by her looks though.

I don’t speak Japanese so I don’t know what the dialogue was.

How is it sexist? Did they call her dumb and say all girls are dumb?

Apparently she's one of the Walkure members/VAs, so that would be why they're using her.

btw...the vf-1j ain't in delta is it?  But yeah, people assume the worst.  Yes, they are catering to people who might find her cute but she IS part of the franchise and relevant in that matter.  I don't think its "sexist" at all...maybe a bit silly but yeah.  it is what it is.

the VF-1EX was in Delta.

[Sildani]

She seemed to be enjoying herself, her expression when she thought she broke it by separating the legs from their swing bar was priceless. “Sorry, Mr. Bandai!!”

Yeah there was a shorter video posted on the MW facebook earlier than this one and at first I thought that was it.  Nice video.  Anticipation building up.

So the PO for the missile set is 12/20 at 12am PST?

Wow, is this really a thing?

 

[spanner]

Hopefully it arrives whilst I'm still on work holidays.. 

[spanner]

Is a little disappointing that the missiles etc weren't included in with the Valkyrie.. but I'll still buy em regardless.

[Sildani]

Is it PO madness, or a Tamashii Web Exclusive?

A Very Beautiful Toy !

[Graham]

Am I the only one that is bugged by how out of scale and tiny the pilot looks?

 

 

[Hiriyu]

Pretty much, yes.
