Chronocidal Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Not quite the same, since it's not pure white, but I wouldn't mind a version painted in these colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 How's abt this shade of orange-red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Think that's jus a pure red, always see it specified as "insignia red" when instructions tell you what color to paint those. I'm not sure the T-45 trainer scheme even counts as orange anymore. Though, speaking of the YF-16, I wish they had stuck to the red for the YF-25. Would have looked amazing.

davidwhangchoi Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 you know this red orange debate reminds me of the fan racer. i thought it was orange. apparently bandai dx thinks it's red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the picture that where taken at Tamashi Nations in November which showed a quick mockup with decals, the orange is a lot lighter then the model that they are displaying now. But like I said we will have to wait till July-August to be able too discuss if the used the right hue for the orange, Since the got the colour of the GBP almost perfect I'm very hopeful they will get it right...🤔 Edited February 8 by grogall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketblast Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I just ordered 2. Good thing there's still preorders available out there. Now I wonder if they will release the VE-1. I still have yet to buy a VE-1 1/55 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Once they've made this mold, there's really no reason not to make both. The major differences are all in the cockpit and chest transformation, so once that's figured out, everything else is just an add-on part.

Radioguy Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) So far, is there an indication this has been more popular than the Mechanic Edt. 1S yet? I'd understand if so, but I was really hoping Bandai had gotten some indication that doing reissues of Roy, Max, Kakizaki, etc was worthwhile...especially Kakizaki. (still not got his DYRL DX yet).

I think the reason why this would be more popular then the VF-1S (Mech Guts) is that it hasn't Been released yet, in this scale by any other company. Yamato already released the Hikaru VF-1S and Strike/Super parts with (Mech Guts) details, So a lot of people will probably only get the (Mech Guts Edition) when they are new to the series or wan't to replace the one in there collection with a better version... This also went for the VF-1D... I can recall there was actually someone in this forum who was offering a conversion kit for the Yamato Valk, Too convert any VF-1 to a VF-1D back then. So things that weren't released before are usually highly thought after! Edited February 11 by grogall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising, since it was made by @captain america. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just easier to get. The mechanical edition was a roulette-kinda get a chance to buy. As far as I know there is no way to just get into any web shop and buy one. They appear at some after market places from time to time Edited February 11 by Froy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preordered two when I was visiting Japan, One was at 39,000 yen the other at 42,000. I think a lot off people ignored the prerelease offers when they where low since it was a second release of the Hikaru VF-1S, only with strike parts. When they finally saw the real picture most people scrambled to get one. I'm sure that when the second lottery release is delivered in April the price will come down somewhat! But still good luck trying to score one! Edited February 12 by grogall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave IV Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Fix what? Bandai doesn’t make mistakes. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Think that's just the parts being sloppily installed, the promo images have them in the right place. Course.. they've been known to photoshop things before. Still, even if the release version has that, it wouldn't be too difficult to fix, relatively speaking.

Lolicon Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I didn't expect Bandai to fix the arm attachments. That leg armor gap is pretty unsightly. Was it always there or is that display just badly put together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Maybe the Ostrich has different behind the leg armors but Bandai is using some standard ones painted orange as a stand-in for these early displays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Looking at the pictures from behind, it certainly does seem like the side-armor for the legs isn't fully in-place for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. A lot of stuff looks like it's not really tabbed properly. Even the intake covers looks like it's gonna come off or something.

Chronocidal Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I think it should be obvious by this point that the people setting up Bandai's displays usually have no idea what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
