jenius Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Hmm, new Kakizaki? Maybe Confart doesn't make it through the movie alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Ok, I will give them credit, that color looks a whole lot closer to the screenshots. Still not sure how they managed to redesign the cockpit and make all of the pilots look ten years old, but it's Bandai, so what're you gonna do?

no3Ljm Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Aside from the main color, they changed the eye from pink to orange; head's pink crystals to blue; blue fold quartz chest frame to teal. So it's all close to how it looks in the movie. Nice. Now the question is, would it have the sloppy QC errors of Hayate's arm section? Hope they fix it with Mirage's release so we can expect the same goes with Bogue's. Also, it's weird that they put Bogue's on display first than Mirage's. We haven't seen actual sample of Mirage's, right? Edited March 1, 2022 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Knowing that Mirage's is coming out this month, it's just appropriate for them to display the actual product in their official store. Displaying Bogue's is kind of too early.

Sorry I have to ask because how can we tell at this point? Most of us here only have Hayate's 31AX. We'll know for sure if there's an improvement once Mirage's get released next month which definitely going to get applied on to Bogue's release as well. (I know I said this month for Mirage's from my previous post. Forgetting that it's going to be April.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell because the big issue on 31AX is in Fighter mode. And the photos posted on the Dengeki link are in Gerwalk and Battroid modes. The only issue I see based on the photos above is the one @jenius pointed out before with Hayate's. That it can't hold the rifle somehow in parallel to the arm due to how the handle was designed. And it looks like it's still carries over to Bogue's. Edited March 1, 2022 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think there was any display of mirage during the macross merchandising presentations with the walkure gang, as well... Something's brewing in the mirage camp, maybe they are tweaking the colors again... Edited March 2, 2022 by seti88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) Don't worry, I'm sure it won't look like any shade of red we expect, or have seen before, especially not the ones seen in the animation or promotional pictures.

All we can do is wait until Mirage’s release. Then we can start making new assumptions. And since Bogue’s release is TWE, QC error or not, people who placed preorder for it are now committed to it. Let's just hope that Mirage's release have those fix, that way it will be rolled out to Bogue's as well.

Many said Mirage will be delayed. This is actually worrying as like you said, there isn't any display on the shelves and this Bogue is kinda too early to show.

Bandai will just print them and tell us to pound sand. If you notice the pics that are available are really good about hiding the undercarriage where the issues are.

MacrossJunkie Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Gosh, that paint scheme...
