    KC's response to that exact concern back in 2017..... "KitzConcept Thank you for your question. This is prototype only and we will follow the colors in the TV series for our finished product." Looking at more of the pics for this SDF, looks like the bay doors for the Daedalus open. Wonder if they'll be mini destroids inside. LEDs in the feet add nice pop, as well. KC mentioned in the comments when asked about pricing that their goal is to keep it under $400. At 1/2000 scale, that's not bad. Of course, that was over 3 years ago, so who knows? Some very nice detail as well.... Those pics are from way back in early 2017, as well. With the GBP armor not being released until late 2020, maybe we see it sometime in 2022? I'm excited for it, though. Especially with how KC finishes their products. You can even see the detailing with this prototype. I'm guessing all the panel lining will really shine with the TV colors.

    I asked them about the SDF release a couple months ago and they said they had no timetable for a release at the time, unfortunately. I'm not usually a fan of LEDs, but the LEDs on the underside of the SDF look great.

    I just got my hands on both Rick's 1J and Roy's 1S, along with a set of strike parts, and I can't express how much I love them. The detail in the tampo printing and the panel lining is stunning. It's to the point that I can't stop looking at them. I know a lot of people hated Roy's 1S, but I'm happy with mine. The Roy I got was used off Ebay but in great condition. The legs are a bit floppy if I shake it while holding it, but it holds poses great and looks amazing once it's posed. I don't have a lot of the gap issues that a lot of people have talked about nor does my 1S have the floppy chest that Jenius showed in his amazing review....at least, not yet. I could see how those things could develop with continued handling, though. They definitely can't compete with the DX when it comes to being solid and the DX definitely FEELS higher quality but, MAN.....these things are beautiful, in my opinion. The detail Kitzconcept has put into the detailing of these toys is exactly what I wish Bandai would have done with the DX and fawning over KC's version makes me even more disappointed in DX's lack of detail in this regard. I wish Bandai'd release a PF version or something, similar to what Arcadia did with the VF-0D or is doing with the VF-4. I may be sold on this line, though. With the HM line looking like it's dead, and KC stating that they're planning enemy mech and what looks like a complete lineup, this may turn out to be my favorite line. And if they announce that they're doing destroids, it's a wrap for me.

    On the Kitzconcept Facebook page, they have a post announcing it's release next year. In the comments section they mention that the release will not be a bundle, but instead will include an extra head with a grey visor. Preorders start sometime this week with an expected release date of Sept. 2021. There's no mention of a reissue of the 1S, but somebody on this thread mentioned that there would be one. Kitzconcept has been very good with answering any questions if you leave a comment on their Facebook page, so if you'd like to ask them directly, I'm sure you'd get an answer.

    The DX head sculpts are on point. I just love every one of em. Minus hollowed out head lasers, they're near perfect IMO.

    I didn't even see that. My adolescent mind is so disappointed in itself. ....and the gutter's where it's at. After all, we all float down here Yeah, @sh9000! This is all YOUR fault!

    Yeah, that gunpod makes it seem.....uncircumcised. Ugh.... Edit: By the way, in no way am I bagging (haha) on sh9000's pic. It's just, I never matured so it's also hilarious. And the "Ugh" is because I put an image in my head of these valks that I'm not sure will ever go away. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case the picture's poster thinks I was disrespecting him/her. I'm just a child, is all.

    My stupidity beat you to it! I love how dumb I am.

    Hate to say it, but, unless you really are a cat (or, at least, have the uterus of one), or my math is wrong (like it usually is) you might be too late on that goal. Keep working hard, though. I'm sure your husband thanks you for it. Edit* Hahahahaha!! Yup.....math is wrong. That's why I do what I do. Ha!!

    Kitzconcept's VF-1J is great. I, personally, love the sculpt and it has hands down the best detailing with the tampo printing and panel line wash, in my opinion. To me, it kind of has the looks of the DX line but the feel of the Hi-Metal line, if that makes any sense. Umm.....about that. Granted, only Rick's 1J and Roy's 1S (along with 2 special schemed variants) are available so far, but still....they're a'comin. They've also said they have enemy mech planned as well, though no timetable as to when was given. Very interested to see where this line goes. (I LOVE those hands on the GBP, by the way)

    So glad I'm not expecting anything from overseas. That would be just my luck....

    RIP big homie. Thanks for all the laughs over the years. I'm sure somebody up there got somethin on your forty, fool. I'm sure there's a bunch of the fellas pourin out a little for ya as well. Godspeed.
  14. mantisfists
    Are you going to be taking preorders for the upcoming VF-1D as well?

    Hi-Metal R

    mantisfists replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    What drives me crazy is that they've done the work and invested the money to complete the collection.....every missing mech already exists....they just haven't released them.

    Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series were far and away my favorite movies to watch as an early teen...only rivaled by Re-Animator. You, sir, have my utmost respect! Hail to the king, baby!

    There's one in the For Sale Section for just under $300 plus shipping. Also, Amazon.jp has them for just under $305 shipped. Edit: Sorry Kenny G. Didn't see your post. Didn't mean to repeat what you'd said, as I believe the Valk in the FS Section is yours.

    That GIF must be from either Ducati's or Aprillia's warehouse, as that pretty much explains every package I've ever received ordering directly from them, ever (did I mention ever?). Oddly enough, I've never had a problem with the Honda shipping boxes being mangled. They must think the parts are for a VR-052 or something. All parts are in 1/48 scale, of course, to keep it on topic.

    Oh, yeah!!! Something about getting a toy in the mail just makes me giddy. Reminds me of saving proof of purchases, mailing them in and getting Starwars and G.I. Joe figures in the mail 6 to 8 weeks later, I guess.
  20. mantisfists
    Mine's out for delivery now. Should be in hand in a few hours.
  21. mantisfists
    DHL is showing Roy's in Cincinnati already. I'm guessing it'll be on the doorstep by Monday. Love how fast DHL is.
  22. mantisfists
    Mine was 4,480 yen to the Bay Area, CA.
  23. mantisfists
    Just got a shipping notice from DHL with an expected delivery date for Dec. 1 for Roy's DX 1S. DHL has been at least a day early for every delivery from Japan that I've received, so, very soon......
  24. mantisfists
    Just paid AE for shipping for Roy's DX. Didn't get an email but was available for payment when I went to the website to check the status of my order.
  25. mantisfists
    Yeah, no sense sweating it till more info comes out. These are first world problems, anyway. I'm lucky to have em.
