Chronocidal Posted Friday at 05:31 AM Posted Friday at 05:31 AM (edited) Maybe they should have done a smart thing, and worked on releasing something people have already expressed interest in, and hasn't already proven to be a slow seller in the past 15 years. I really just want them to release the HMR version and watch it utterly destroy the DX sales.. Edited Friday at 05:33 AM by Chronocidal Quote

Down to 17,500y if you're a jp-resident. https://twitter.com/Shota_FASTARC/status/2037329473365004560 Bandai's getting quite the negatives from fans on tweeter and even in amz-jp customer-reviews... Good, Bandai deserves the negative opinions on a public platform for a lazy effort. Arcadia, pls come back from the dead (or from near death) and save us. Make a real YF-21 version 2... I want that VF-5000G (though it's going to cost astronomically high) Quote

Just checked my Amazon pre-order and it was still at $300 US. I canceled it, and will pick it up at a discount later. Quote

I'm willing at a moment's notice to get in on that Star Mirage. Quote

Chronocidal Posted Friday at 08:50 PM Posted Friday at 08:50 PM I mean, I'd bet that probably sold a whole lot better than the 17S, so you can't really say they wasted the budget to make it. Quote

At this point, everything else will have sold and are selling better than this DX-17S... 😂 Quote

You know... after watching parts of this video, I actually don't feel as bad about receiving my preorder when it arrives. The plane mode looks okay to me. And since most of my stuff is displayed in fighter mode anyway, it won't look ugly among them. Quote
Shawn Posted yesterday at 03:22 PM Posted yesterday at 03:22 PM Maybe someone could create a 3-d printed leg-only GBP clam-shell type wrap option for this to display in G/B mode. With the lack of tampo, it is just a color match issue. POC it and post it on the Bandai twitter page. Bandai could then make one themselves for 5000 yen, market it as the Anime Enhanced release or some nonsense. When Graham lets go a VF-17 I know there is trouble! Quote

They should get graham in as one of the reviewers for M7 line, like what yamato did in the past. If it fails his scrutiny, then they should refine the design Oh well thats wishful thinking on my part Quote

I am an occasional Miku fan having a few of her figures over the years. But this kinda creeps me a bit. AI singer now in a killer bot-body. Quote
PointBlankSniper Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago (edited) Don't think anyone asked for the Miku, and it barely even looks like her, not to mention it doesn't even look good as its own doll/figure tbh. We are a decade past the age of vocaloid hype too... Idk if there is even a target audience for that thing. I'm sure diehard worshippers that buy every single piece of merch ever made would buy it, but I don't think many are like that... Wouldn't be surprised if it sold worse than the VF-17S Edited 6 hours ago by PointBlankSniper Quote
