Perhaps there’s less enthusiastic response to Boque than expected so far.. and they push out more pics in the final days of PO.. But it’s great these new pics are of physical toy, rather than the 3D renders used previously. The wings appear to tag properly against the legs in Fighter, though not sure if Bandai photoshopped it as they sometimes do in the past..

Lolicon Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Tabs that are too big to fit into their designated slots. I guess Bandai fired all their CAD guys and just eyeballed everything for the 31AX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But checking Bogue's photos once again, I doubt that the origami arm design under the wing was fixed. I encircled the folding tab under the wing. Still not tabbed properly.

You could be right about that. But it just might be recolored Hayate body with an updated prototype head. I also noticed the wings are not tabbed in at all.

Good catch on that @no3Ljm. So sad that these tolerance issues continues to plaque the 31AX.. On the plus side, this issue actually made me go through most of the Macross valks, stare at their undersides, and have renewed appreciation how Kawamori have designed them to have little or no kibble on the underside compared to other transforming toy IPs. It is just so much more difficult to do that for aircrafts, as their underbellies are an important aesthetic factor as compared to say, ground vehicles whose underside are usually not seen.

April 24 23:00 (JST) TWE order cutoff. https://tamashii.jp/tn_blog/3/ I wonder why there's no heavy promotion for Mirage's unit? I think this is the worst example of this set. This looks so bad, between the busy design, bad tolerances. It just looks bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Mirage’s ride comes out Friday, I’m not holding out much hope for it to have these issues fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 It's probably why I will stop on Mirage's release for now. Not planning on completing the whole squad. If they'll do Arad's then that's my last DX 31AX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Remember kids, Bandai doesn't fix problems. They double down on them. It's a feature, not a bug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working for a SaaS company these days and I had to quote this because there are times I swear this is what a some of our Devs want to say. 😅 To their credit they don't, but I truly believe that they want to. Also, I skipped this 31AX and if I could go back in time and skip Hayate's I would skip that one too. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
