Ooh, tempting. Just a reskin, but at least it's pretty different.

Wonder if this means the Max version will be released as well.

Is there any information on pricing? Did some Googling but couldn't find anything.

Should be in the same bundled box configuration with valk and armor facing each other on different sides..

Bandai has several canon Macross DX product lines unfinished, and they go with this instead...

Yup. Basically just take the preexisting thing and recolor it and call it new

Cool release but, talk about being late to the game.

This should have been released right after the first GBP-1J release as interest was hot for this custom scheme.

Not sure I even care for this release. 

Oh well.

Everything I was thinking of is a recolor too:

  • RVF-25 Revival
  • All the unreleased VF-31 supers
  • VF-1A Hikaru
  • VF-1J M&M

Difference being all the above were actually shown on screen.

Yeah, this one definitely fits in the fan fiction area

What I like about this variant is that it's not a straight color swap of the red bits to yellow. There's a sepia-like tint applied to all the colored bits of the armor which works quite well to my eyes.

What I don't like - it's another one of those BS lottery schemes to obtain one. Not sure if I wanna pay the almost certain hiked up secondary prices for it.

Pass.

Still waiting for:

VF-1A mass production 

M&M VF-1J, supers or stand alone

Or

VF-1A TV Kakizaki

True packaging is really neat as well...

Glad to see they are actually releasing this one!

Unfortunately it's going to be very difficult and expensive to get so that's a turn off.

I Didn't find it all that hard to get the last lottery VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Mechanical Edition) after all I got 7, But it was kind of expensive 🤪

Nice to see them release roy again and the armor looks cool. Getting this thing is going to be very rough. Luna Park already has it up and is asking for 59,800 yen. Overall price, even without Luna Park markups, is just not enticing enough for me. I'll be saving my money for a release that's new. Still holding out hope they release the Max and Milia VF-1J Valkyrie pair with super parts

Forgot the colours are based on Takani’s art, which makes it even more cool to me now.

Looks like they did the sides as well 👍🏻

The DX GBP was a 'loosely' based on the Takatoku GBP release=the sharp angled upper corner and the tab at bottom center.
I agree they could have leaned more retro in the first DX GBP release

Toynami went all in with their 1/100 retro version, so maybe Bandai saw that and did the pivot to the Nichimo box style.
I'm personally very happy with their choice, I love the Nichimo kits and it really gives it a retro look in my eyes.

I really liked the VF-1J Combo pack that Bandai did, Not everything these day has to have a retro vibe to it! And some good effort was put into the GBP package!
