    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Hmm, I'm betting that grey rectangular thing on the underside of the weapons pod is a beam gun.

    Hmm, the toy is missing the wing hardpoints from the anime

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    I think you mean are there any 'men'. We need a manly Isamu or Ozma type main character.

    Not really digging the forearm guns on the VF-31. If they are shell firing cannons, then with only a single barrel the rate of fire would be lower than a multi-barrelled gunpod and also looking quite small and being located on the arms, the ammo capacity would likely be very low as there is not much space to hold ammo. However, I suspect they are beam guns, given the recent trend with the VF-27, YF-29 and VF-30 to use rapid fire beam-gunpods. But unless there has been a rapid advance in beamgun technology since Frontier & Macross 30, then there is no way they will be as powerful as a full size beam-gunpod used on the VF-27/YF-29/YF-30. To me they look only slightly larger than the hip/wing-root beamguns the VF-25 has as secondary weapons. I'm a traditionalist, I like my VFs to have gunpods, whether they be shell firing or beamguns.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Graham replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Yep, definitely forearm guns. As I posted in the other thread, I guess they rotate 180° along the forearms, so that they can point forward in fighter mode.

    Wasn't Leon's call sign when flying the YF-30 Chronos "Siegfried 001"

    I'm guessing the VF-31's forearm guns can rotate 180° on the forearm, so they can point forward both in Battroid and Fighter modes. Anyway as well as the mystery back mounted weapon pod(s), the VF-31 seems pretty well armed. Not for me. Frontier taller gave me chills, Delta's trailer, is just meh for me.

    Ha, so I called it right previously on the blue (not red) color for the SV-262. No gunpod for the VF-30 But are those long barreled forearm guns I see? Anyway, while the VFs looks good, not really liking what I'm seeing of the characters or setting......urghhhh Graham

    Hope it's NOT "Masterpiece", don't want the Yamato legacy tarnished with a Toynami name.....yuck. I'm guessing " Mass Production". Although from what I remember from the admittedly non-canon Master Files, there was only a very small amount of VF-1J actually produced. Graham

    Chest plate angled too down. Graham

    What does the "MP" in the thread title stand for? Graham
  12. Graham
    I'm liking it more in those new pics. And at least it's confirmed the gunpod can attach in fighter mode. Graham

    Given Bandai's stellar work on the VF-19 Advance, I'd really love to see their take on the VF-2SS with SAP. I'm guessing the gunpod will not mount in fighter mode on the Evolution VF-2SS. Mind you, I always used to think that the VF-2SS should had two gunpods mounted on forearms in fighter mode based on the SAP, not just one on the centerline. Graham

    Still keeping my two preorders. Not perfect but not bad. Graham

    I think I threw my Yamato Konig in the trash a couple of years ago. It was so froppy, I couldn't be assed tying to sell it.
  16. Graham
    I'd buy a red Milia VF-17S if Arcadia made it. Graham
  17. Graham
    Get the Bandai without a doubt. It's a great toy. The Yamato is a froppy mess. Heck, can you even still find the Yamato anymore anyway? Graham

    Ah, didn't know it had been posted already.

    From Facebook. Originally from Twitter. Find courtesy of Ollie Barder. Can't read the Japanese from the original Twitter part, but I'm guessing this is a fan made lineart interpretation. Graham

    All I want is cool mecha designs and lots of amazingly choreographed and animated VF on VF fights set to great music. Everything else is secondary to that to me
  21. Graham
    Anyway, I've been saying mix of YF-30 and VF-19, not just YF-19. Graham

    From what I remember from my former contacts, back before Frontier aired, Yamato were actually offered a chance at the toy licence by Big West as long as they became a major sponsor of the show. Yamato couldn't afford it then, so Bandai ended up with the toy licence as they become the major sponsor of the show. Given the popularity of Frontier and Bandai's success with Frontier toys, it's probably pretty much certain that Bandai has the Delta toy licence locked down already. Graham

    Even back before Frontier aired, I was wondering would the Fold Booster technology of Macross Plus have become advanced enough that the Frontier Valks had built-in, miniature Fold Boosters capable of multiple Folds. Alas, that was not to be. Certainly, a built-in Fold Booster capable of multiple foldswith little or no recharge time between folds would be a strategic and tactical game changer. Did the Vajra have the capability to warp munitions directly into their bodies? I don't remember. I thought they organically grew replacement munitions inside their bodies, but this took time. Maybe I'm remembering wrongly. Nobody knows yet. But I imagine it is unlikely to be Arcadia.

    Yes, but if these are pre-painted and easy to put together, then as a non-model builder with all the model building skills of a headless chicken, I'd personally rather have these than a 1/48 Hasegawa Graham

    I'm very curious as to why Kawamori-san obviously used the Saab Draken as his inspiration for the plane in the background, given that the Draken is an old design dating from the mid-1950s. When he has previously used real world influences in his VF designs, Kawamori has in the past used more contemporary planes as his inspiration. Unless.............I remember reading somewhere (maybe it was a post in these forums), that Tenjin may be designing some of the mecha for Delta. Perhaps that Draken-esq mecha is a Tenjin original? Just a theory. Graham
