Heh, I noticed an Ark Royal VF-1 in the book. I've really gotta push Yamato to release that, although with Royal Navy roundels. Graham

Ahem...........what ever happened to your defnitive work on the VF-1? Graham

Guys, please Stop discussing and posting pictures of the Robot Damashii (Tamashii) VB-6 and VF-25F/VF-25G battroid mode toys in this thread. This thread is for VF100s news/pics/discussion only. Graham

To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed tha Bandai has not shown any new DX prototypes at the show. It would have been a great chance to unveil a prototype of the DX VF-27 or VF-171. Heck, or even some more interesting VF-25 repaints that people actually want, like say a Cannon Fodder brownie VF-25, or an "All That VF" variant. I'm ttotaly not interested in the "Renewal" VF-25F and even the recent crystal clear VF-25F DX was extremely meh IMO! Graham

Got mine last night. If you are at all a fan of the VF-1, then get this book. It looks like it is the definive tech reference.

AFAIK, this book is by GA Graphics, not Yamato. And we already have an older existing thread on it, which can be found on the 1st page of the 'Movie & TV series' forum.

Agreed, the "Renewal" baby blue FPs look really bad. Will not buy. IMO the "limited" grey FPs look much, much nicer.

Something I've been worrying about for a while with the Armoured DX, but have been unable to see a good pic of the side of the leg until now. It looks like Bandai might have forgot to sculpt in the vents on the sides of the leg missile pods.

Not keen on the color of the Alto DX FPs. Will definitely pass.

That's what I'm thinking as well, unfortunately. Graham

I'm wondering if the missile bay doors on the Armored VF-25F are hinged, or if you have to swap out open and closed doors? Perhaps somebody who attends the show can check it out. Graham

Hmm........metallic finish VF100s VF-25F & VF-25S. Think I will pass. Graham

Hope some new 1/60 DX stuff is on display, such as VF-27 or VF-171 prototypes maybe? Graham

But it's open to industry and press. Graham

Given that the Robot Spirit VF-25F and VF-25G are non-transforming battroid mode only toys, I doubt there is much (if any) parts swapping going on at all. Graham

The 19 looks great. Hopefully we'll get a 19F/S/P as well. I sure hope that König is varible. Looks like it could be. Sure as hell don't want a non-variable version.

What gap? Even with the pics, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for? Can somebody add some arrows to the pics for poor dumb me? Just to add, I'm perfectly happy with my VF-22. No issues at all. Certainly no gaps have caught my eye. May pick up a second one.

A big hearty pass on any VF-1 toys in this line. Anything but the VF-1 please.

Is it actually out? Anybody here actually have it in their hands yet? As of last Friday, the stores here were saying end of the month. Graham

If you are referring to Sheryl's ability to communicate with the Vajra, then yes, she only gained it after Ranka cured her. If on the other hand you are referring to her singing ability, I think that's all her own natural talent. At least I don't recall her being "artificially" brought to her ability, beyond possibly the singing training/coaching that any aspiring pop star would get.

There is still possibility of some non-canon repaints & VF-0D, but not confirmed yet. Will try to find out.

From the new pic, I'm guessing the Klan pilot figure is from the waist up only, i.e. no legs.

My painting skills are absolutely horrible as well and I'd likely even screw up something so simple. Graham

Damn, the SMS base is gonna be painted on the Alto VF-25F bundle release if HLJ is correct. I really wish Bandai had painted the bases from the start. Graham

Not a print publication, but some translated posts from MW got featured on a Japanese website. I may be wrong, but IIRC, it was about Sheryl vs Ranka.
