For a premium version, probably, unless they do a really small production run of the regular version. That could be costly, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it's darker like that. It looks better that way, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure King # 314 just came out recently. Those are pics taken with my phone. Here is a new one I took today that shows that the green is actually lighter.

nightmareB4macross Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 We are getting so close. I just hope this won’t be a limited release with an exorbitant price. Overall, the figure looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I was disappointed with the no show at Wonderfest 24, but hopefully it was due to getting to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dates posted in the picture. Let’s hope it’s a summer PO with release in late 2024. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 That nose gear looks awfully far forward, but I couldn't quickly/easily find any references for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a pic with it partly out. It does seem pretty far forward, but not nearly as far forward as it appears to be on the toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless I'm holding out for this one, for sure. As it's not the typical VF release, I'm also curious to see if this will be gone in a flash or a shelf warmer. .

Mechapilot77 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 man i dont' visit here as often as i used to but the scan from figure king has me hotly anticipating this. i didn't think i'd like this initial deco so much but in the flesh as photographed for that magazine it looks quite awesome in these colors. all 3 modes look quite good too. its been so long since the i held a new to me arcarida mold . hopefully they work everything out and release this year.

I have a feeling they didn't show it at WF due to the updated version of this, and in looking at the new pictures, this looks like it's one of the more final designs (not final, but closer). 3 hours ago, Mommar said: I think it's the angle and the mechanism they've employed for the doors. It does look like the gun may not be closed inside and/or locked in. I don't know if it has a retracting handle, but that could also be a reason, not wanting to break these parts. Also could be the same thing for the rear wheels, but from this image, it does look like they should be about 3+mm longer. The front gear doesn't look extended right, but maybe for the same reasons as the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out I think the sngle of thst newer pic and the extra flap to make room for the landing gesr makes it look farther up than it actually is. Unless for some reason they reengineered the whole nose cone since that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the strut is in the right place but there's some weirdness going on with the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strut also looks as if part of the landing gear door is mounted to it's front. So then three panels , counting the rear door, fully make up the gear doors.

Which it is not on the animation. But that longer front panel throws off the look enough from that 3/4 perspective. The esrlier side view show it is in about the correct place.
