Here we go! VF-1A Battroids.

Great pic of the completed kit - even has the damage to the chest plate.

VF-1D Battroid has landed.

There’s PLAMAX CAD for the Armoured Battroid….so I’m hoping they solve the anime magic for the forward head tilted open for the armoured VF-1J like in SDFM.

VF-1D Battroid to be released October 8th.

Found it. Apparently the refresh button is a thing. Thanks.

Can’t seem to find it - got a link?

Some more pre-release pics of the VF-1S Battroid. Decals: Looking good!

Nice group pic. https://x.com/yatasith/status/1831984647011717166?s=46&t=NgApUr0JxJVmdHJ5mss_Sw

Payment collected for Vermillion Squadron VF-1 fighter.

Hoping that they scale up their 1/72 Battroid to 1/20.

And a VF-1S custom.

Some progress on the head:

Extracts from the Macross special Hobby Japan, with machine translation added. And together with its fighter-mode counterpart.

PLAMAX.

Thanks - that’s exactly what I was after. With the release of the kit, there’s lots of posts on (the site formerly known as) twitter. Here’s all of the product development grabs in one spot:

Related to a potential build…I’ve boom looking at the anime art. Can easily the front view: But not this rear view in colour. Anyone able to help?

Haven’t had the opportunity to go through the parts as much as I’d like to, but two things have caught my attention. 1. there doesn’t appear to be the clip to attach the gun pod to the right forearm that is shown in the D battroid model. 2. there’s no parts for the head forward/seat up that the D is displayed with, or is shown in the show w/the GPB1 configuration. Not unexpected, but still a bit of a bummer.

Another PLAMSX/Hase comparison: And mine just arrived!
