MKT Posted Thursday at 05:06 AM Posted Thursday 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 Thursday at 06:18 AM Author Posted Thursday 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 Thursday at 04:28 PM Posted Thursday at 04:28 PM (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 Thursday at 04:29 PM by danth Quote
jenius Posted Thursday at 05:02 PM Posted Thursday at 05:02 PM 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 Thursday at 06:45 PM Posted Thursday at 06:45 PM Interesting, last year I wishing for Bandai to reissue DYRL VF-1S Hicki but now we are getting this. Quote
jvmacross Posted Thursday at 08:49 PM Posted Thursday at 08:49 PM 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 Thursday at 09:30 PM Posted Thursday at 09:30 PM 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 Thursday at 09:51 PM Posted Thursday at 09:51 PM 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 Thursday at 10:02 PM Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM I'm excited for this but uneasy about the all-in cost. Quote
Shawn Posted Thursday at 10:18 PM Posted Thursday at 10:18 PM here are some less blurry pics of it https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2062937.html Quote
jenius Posted Thursday at 11:57 PM Posted Thursday at 11:57 PM 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 yesterday at 02:15 AM Posted yesterday at 02:15 AM With this release I'd love for Bandai to complete Vermillion Squadron in 1/55 scale. Quote

grogall Posted yesterday at 06:23 AM Posted yesterday at 06:23 AM 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 yesterday at 09:33 AM Posted yesterday at 09:33 AM 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
Mog Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Is it bad that I’d rather see something like @nightmareB4macross’s super-updated, super-articulated, filled to the gills with cool features 1/55 chunky instead? I get the intent of the release, but it would have been cool if they added a few more new articulation points and features. Quote
Shawn Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Wotafa posted a video-starts at 29:00 Put on the translate and trying to make sense of what he is talking about with Kimura of the Macross product planning and development? The video pauses and then he talks about possible upcoming products? So does that mean that large Macross display they had a couple years ago is actually coming? Google translate is not good enough, the the youtube transcript is garbage. Quote
