For the TV VF-1J? Today...4PM JST...based on past pre-orders... http://tamashii.jp/item_announced/
-
Found the rest of the Doyusha 1/144 valks... Max and Millia.... Next up....Roy and Hikaru....
-
Bandai should immediately stop allowing Tenjin to deface the covers of these otherwise 100% perfect toys! (quick! make some room behind that dumpster for me! )
-
Cool...looking forward to your finished work! BTW...it may have been planned for actual release by Bandai back in the day....sadly, it never happened...
-
Sure...next you'll be telling us these are "Super Real Models".... Wouldn't it be funny if Bandai just rolled with Tenjin's illustration? It's Tenjin's fault!!!
-
It would be an awesome gesture to the fans...heck, toss them in with the upcoming TV VF-1J and call it a day! If I recall correctly, a similar situation happened when Yamato released their Macross Chronicle exclusive 1/48 VF-1A Max TV type....they forgot to include the TV style clown hands.....to "correct" the omission, they included an extra set of TV clown hands with their Macross Chronicle exclusive 1/48 VF-1A Kakizaki TV type....of course, to get the correct hands you'd have to buy the Kakizaki...but still, they actually did something to correct the issue....
-
That's just it...it was a mistake....not even sure Bandai has ever owed up to it....I'm guessing Japanese fans aren't that critical so they probably won't....the fact that Bandai is releasing a VF-1A with both TV and DYRL parts means they are totally aware of the differences between both versions.....the same can now be said with their upcoming TV VF-1J..... So, the current HMR GBP is 100% a DYRL release that went into production with the wrong color missile tips.....we forgive you Bandai! Keep those HMR's coming!!!
-
LOL....if you're still convinced the recent HMR GBP was not a DYRL version release, then I guess the horse in that gif must be you.....go ahead and drink the water, Mr. Ed....it's safe!
-
LOL....do you also go by Treatment?
-
Are you referring to the recently released GBP-1J? If so, it is 100% a DYRL version....Bandai simply messed up the color of the missile tips.....in DYRL it is indeed operated by an unknown pilot as during the same battle Hikaru is actually piloting a VF-1A (Skull Squadron type)... ....knowing that there are more than enough Macross completists out there, Bandai may still end up releasing the GBP-1J version piloted by Hikaru in the TV series...in fact, Bandai would have us believe the fans actually "voted" for one to be released... I do agree that the Super VF-1J Max and Millia that they are currently teasing has no basis on anything seen on either the TV series or film....it is basically a scheme Bandai came up with during the marketing of their model kits for these two Macross characters....however, since they apparently have no intentions of actually doing TV-style fast packs for the HMR line, I can live with it...
-
Nice....and just as accurate as the HMR version! With Bandai's willingness to release a separate TV VF-1J....is it safe now to assume they are going all out on HMR VF-1 variants? At this point, how easy would it be for them to release a VF-1J TV Mass Production Type and every TV and DYRL VF-1A type ever thought up for both? Th Bandai HMR lineup will easily surpass Yamato's DYRL line soon and their TV line soon enough.....going 1/100-ish was a stoke of genius for Bandai.....HMR(espect)!
-
Almost looks like a swappable head visor....that would be cool and they wouldn't need to release a separate TV GBP bundle....but then we'd never get yellow-tipped missiles!
-
Can't tell from the pics, but I'm guessing this one is a lighter shade of white? Also, will Bandai go for the double-dip by releasing this TV VF-1J once again when bundling it with their teased TV GBP-1J?
-
hadn't seen the chest cover pieces before...looks even better now! Would be nice of Bandai to offer those for the other VF-1's released so far, perhaps in some future mail-in bundle....

NSFW!.....

You have expensive tastes in valkyries.... That one is easily $400+...I
-
HMR FEVER!!!!
-
nonsense..... You still have the opportunity to truly capture what really happened during that confrontation between Hikaru and Quamzin! ....but it won't count unless both toys lose a limb!!!
-
Yep....
-
LOL....Funny how the Doyusha 1/144 YF-19 still has more tampo printing than an Arcadia 1/60 YF-19!

Thanks guys! Yes, I forgot...it does have lighting built-in....I took pics with my cell phone so I could not get good low light pics.....maybe later when I find the rest of my Doyusha valks and add them to the deck.....
-
Same delay happened with the Silvie.....now they have a much better idea of demand (lower?)....so maybe the release dates for the Faerie and Nexx were probably pushed back due to needing the extra time to figure those production numbers out....maybe a lower production number for the SAP combos will help them sell-out and not become clearance fodder for the retailers?
