I just received a UPS notification that mine is enroute from Japan.  I look forward to getting this, so I can wrap it and hide it in the closet till Christmas.  Boy, wont I be excited on Christmas morning.  Oh yeah!

It could have been a real surprise if you had only taken the #1 recommended overnight PO madness aide...

Make every shipment from Japan a complete surprise!

just for info!

April reissue.... 😉

[jenius]

Huh, I wonder if that's a normal TWE or some sort of raffle PO.

The box art is 'officially' out...the 2nd pic is going on my shelf as-is!  

 

Right next to the Nichimo!

I’m a little disappointed it doesn’t come in that book style box like the previous 1J release.

I like the darker green. It goes really well with the shade of yellow. I think my only complaint besides the missing book-style box is the lack of the black & white Jolly Roger skull emblem incorporated into the armor. Maybe it could of gone on the shoulder missile pods or on one of it's leg armor?

The torso should have been angled correctly to better match the original art.

I don't think it can turn that much. I ordered one from Mercari/Neokyo. First time using them. If I had known it would be available again on Yakakunow, I would of ordered from them instead. 

[sh9000]

I'm talking about the positioning of the torso and camera placement.

Really liking the colors & the greenish tint. Thinking it’ll look great next to the old Yammie 1/48s low visibility ones. 

[davidwhangchoi]

looks good.

those GIANT hands....LOL!!!! Looks good though. If not for tarriffs I would pull the trigger as well.

[rsvictor1976]

I'm surprised they actually had one.

As we've seen with the clear mechanic edition, they will eventually have many.

Actually 2. At the end of the page you can see one that already sold out before.

Really surprised how quick those popped at mandarake.

plenty of listings on yahoo japan auctions as well.

[sh9000]

I'm kind of glad I don't need to ship mine out right away and pay the expensive shipping cost.

So now that the Roy Focker GBP is out, who would also want the Maximilian Genuis VF-1J with GBP? Since it's would also would include a yet not released Valkerie...

I know it's a very tiny detail but i just noticed that all the three armors have the same number, i.e. 1, on the chest. That bothers me. A lot.
