With the 25F release next month, I think this time around I'll keep the the clean anime look, seeing as how I've already finished the SMS squadron. Absolutely beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Despite the QC issues with the WWM VF-25, the matte finish looked great, so I can't wait to get the SMS squadron. Hopefully Bandai ironed out the QC issues from the WWM release. Don't AX us, Bandai! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimuspint Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I sold most of my valks during the covid shut down.  It’s pretty awesome I can get these reissues at a better than ebay price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Matte color looks great, I'll pass on this one though. Just no room for anything new. Sold all my 25's years ago to pay off wedding debt, picked up the worldwide 1st release just have one which I'm fine with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Same here. As much as I would like to have it in matte out of the box. I'll just keep my Renewals and probably just do some light detailing later on and apply flat topcoat. I feel that I'm getting too old now to rebuy the same thing over and over. It's time for me to be content and have fun with what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enphily Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 with this new release i'd glad to get older renewal version for 100 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasazi37 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I'm passing on this one. Saving my hobby funds for something new instead of yet another reissue. Looks good, but can't justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anasazi37 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Grabbed this from the Tamashii Nations site. It normally loads in English for me, auto-translated from Japanese on Bandai's end. Looks like they recently changed how the site works, though, because when it loaded tonight only the WWM releases showed up. Pro tip: just above the language selection button is a small greyed-out region selection button and you have to select Japan for everything to show up. Turns out that when you select English, the site assumes that you don't care about anything sold outside of the US. Bad assumption on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 It’s a semi-revival DX 25 valk @Shizuka the Cat. The upcoming and upgraded Alto’s and Michael’s Full Set 25 are the true revival versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Bandai works in mysterious ways... we have a DX VF-1A Angelbirds but we don't have a DX VF-1A DYRL Hikaru. So, while I would think us lucky to get a full run of the main cast... sure, a cannon fodder might actually happen before Ozma. If all the reissues are super bundles... I wonder what that means for armored parts. I want my Ozma armored! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how much Bandai will charge for that beast? Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
