Yea this makes sense to me as the VT-1 is the equivalent to the VF-1D in the move iirc?

just means the super parts will look great on the VF-1D😁

But the the VF-1D is also marked VT 1023 in the TV series as well 🤪

But then again Tanjin Hidetaka marked one of his pictures with 607, so who knows...

Probably don't need to dwell too much on single screenshots from a show filled with animation inconsistencies and errors.

Aside from that split second frame, neither 102 nor 607 was ever firmly established as the proper modex for the VT-1 Hikaru borrowed, so it really doesn't matter what modex number Bandai used. The tampo is just as obnoxious. :p

They are on the Yamato VT-1 and VE-1. But I never use them since the packs are held securely in place without them, just like the regular VF-1.VT-107a.jpg.1a73edbc864a3ebc3e6013c3fed8810a.jpg

I never noticed them on my VE-1 before. Learning something new today lol. But you are right, the backpack is secure enough without using the locks.

I don't really know if it was ever about securing the backpack.  It felt more like they were trying to secure the tails, because, for whatever reason, they always had a weird springy hinge that would resist folding them up more than the typical VF-1 tail.

Wow-with the closeups we can see that Bandai used decals on this mockup instead of Tampo printing, which makes a lot of sense for a proto
I was wondering if they had a little hand printer or something they could just apply wherever they wanted...not the world is normal again :)

Hey, at least they didn't pull an HMR this time.  The wings do have hardpoints. ^_^ 

Or.. at least the display version does.. probably anyone's guess whether the release keeps them, since they were probably just modded VF-1D parts.

For the most part it does look like the mould is finished! But we will have to wait and see if they keep it as is.... There is a gap in the leg booster that needs addressing since it's not flush, but the wings and cockpit hump as well as the length of the two seaters look correct! if they change the front thrusters to match properly is also a big question. but its not a deal breaker for me! but would be nice! Now the big question for everyone is probably when is PO and release!?

I'll say. They're right where the landing gear doors should be. :rolleyes:

Presumably those thrusters are on either side of the front landing gear and slightly canted outward for maximum upward push.

Anyone wan't to take guess when we might get concrete information from Bandai Spirits when we can order this bird, or any time they might release it!? I'm guessing June... Maybe more info Christmas.... 🤔

Considering we're looking at a complete mock up. I'd say long way off. And hopefully not after the HMR Tomahawk. :mellow:

Since nobody knows exactly the dates and such. The best thing to do is load Bandai page or Macrossworld, and probably refresh it each day or you can follow this thread to get notification if you're using smartphone. Or check Bandai's all twitter feeds.

What DX toys have they teased that we haven't received yet?
1) Hikaru DYRL VF-1A
2) Max DYRL VF-1A
3) Roy DRYL VF-1S

Any other ones? Have they teased Hayao's TV 1A? 

VF-1S Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo), 23 November 2019 you even reviewed it yourself!...  OOPS sorry you said VF-1A... 🤪

With the 48,000 yen price tag for DX YF-21, I wonder what would be the price for this. I won't be surprised if it is more than 50,000 yen. It'll still sell like hot cake though.

It will be around 33,000 - 35,000 yen Like the VF-1S Strike Valkyrie, I take it we will get more news in April, After they deliver the second batch of the Mechanic Edition....
