MKT Posted yesterday at 05:06 AM Posted yesterday at 05:06 AM Thigh swivels are nice, but can't help thinking they could have just added something to make a basic A-stance. Maybe in the 60th Anniversary ver? lol.. 49 minutes ago, jenius said: The planned Toynami release just became vaporware! Could it be Toynami's the same as this & just distributing it outside Japan?

nightmareB4macross Posted yesterday at 06:18 AM Author Posted yesterday at 06:18 AM Yup, a missed opportunity indeed. More improvements could have been done. Bandai is just pandering hard for nostalgia sales on this one. Well, at least they will know I am down to get one. Quote
danth Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago (edited) Hopefully they fixed the mold and there won't be the same giant gap between the chest and back plate in fighter mode. Clipped pic from AnyMoon (don't sue me @jenius) : Also the reissue I had was sorta floppy; hoping for better clicky joints on this one. Edited 22 hours ago by danth Quote
jenius Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago Hopefully they reissue some old ones and give us a 1D? They made the prototype heads last time so we know they were thinking about it. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Interesting, last year I wishing for Bandai to reissue DYRL VF-1S Hicki but now we are getting this. Quote
jvmacross Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Kind of meh.... But hope this means Bandai'd is open to a 45th DYRL 1/55 VT-1, VE-1, or VF-1S Strike Valkyrie... Quote
sh9000 Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago If this gets released I'll be sure to get one and delete the one I'm looking for in the wanted thread. Quote
Scyla Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago Very nice to see this release, I always wanted a chunky monkey. Since I plan to own only one I would like it to be a VF-1S Super Strike one (Hikaru or Max). Quote
Gabe Q Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago I'm excited for this but uneasy about the all-in cost. Quote
Shawn Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago here are some less blurry pics of it https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2062937.html Quote
jenius Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago I wish they had updated the feet to be like the HCM so they could angle front and back, that would have really worked nice with the leg twist in Gerwalk. The ability to splay the legs out and articulated hands would have been a bonus... And a ball jointed head... And... Okay, maybe I should stick to the DX Quote

sh9000 Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago With this release I'd love for Bandai to complete Vermillion Squadron in 1/55 scale. Quote

grogall Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago with all the new announcements this week from Bandai , including this, the new V.O.T.O.M.S and Gundam releases, I'm running out of space really fast! 😅 Quote
ArchieNov Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Seeing this brings back the painful memories of my childhood when I used to deploy those spring loaded metal landing gears. Those really hurt! Quote
