I hope Bandai get enough complaints about this that they consider changes. Honestly, I can't believe they are being this lazy.
-
It's shocking how much better proprtioned the Yamato looks, especially in Battroid and Gerwalk modes. I was originally thinking to order 2pcs of the Bandai DX VF-17S, but now I think I'll just get1pc and keep it in fighter mode. Unless Bandai significantly reworks the sculpt between now and release.
-
The 1/65 VF-17D/S is still one of my favorite Macross toys.
-
I'm hoping that Bandai will make some last minute changes to the DX VF-17S to make it a bit more lineart accurate, but I'm not holding out much hope.
-
I think the only way to get a VF-17 that looks lineart/anime accurate in all three modes will be if Bandai makes a model kit of it in the HG Shortcut Change model kit line, with swabable chunky lower legs.
-
But, to be fair, so far the revival VF-171EX is holding up OK, with no issues.
-
Yeah, so checking the pics more carefully, it looks like they are reusing a lot of VF-171 parts. As a result, there's a lot of things that are not lineart correct for the VF-17. It's missing the VF-17's dual micro-misille launchers on each shoulder. It's got incorrect VF-171 dual micro-missile ports on the inside of each lower leg. Lower legs are way too skinny. I'm sure there are other areas that are not lineart correct also.
-
Way too skinny in Battroid mode. Looks like it's optimised for Fighter mode. But as the VF-17 is one of my all-time favourite designs (it was my top favourite for decades), I'm in, will be buying.

Hope it's not game over for Arcadia.

HMR VF-19P Box art .
-
Great work, looks fantastic.
-
By the way, does anybody know what the yellow array on the TREAD is supposed to be? Is it a sensor array? Beam guns? Missile launcher?
-
I'm only really a fan of the original 82 movie. I didn't really enjoy Legacy to be honest. So for Ares, I think I'll wait until it's on D+ before watching it.
-
Hmm.........IIRC, isn't the HMR VF-19P out at the end of this month?
-
I'm guessing KC don't have a prototype sculpt yet, so just took the Bandai HMR and photoshopped the colors for their website pic. 😅
