The white on the Armor looks different than the pinkish white on the Arcadia. On parts of the arcadia there's some "bleed" from the red paint that REALLY makes it look pink (leg fins on mine) The option parts included are just the side covers and neck cover. NO seat that I could find. Typical Yammie-size box. I'm on the fence on whether or not i really like it or not. I wish they had just used the same shade of white they used for the Model kits and the no-paint 1S. Either way the Armor is going on my spare Roy 1S that is missing his legfins like a cripple

Honestly I wouldn't mind if they brought out a VF-0B Most beaufitul VF-0 Ever

Even though I have two po's I'm not super duper excited about this one lol. It's just another 29 recolored. Kinda wish the B meant something (kinda like the super duper awesome vf-0B. full double seaters ftw)

Holy crap my 1j from HLJ arrived yesterday in NJ and I totally didn't check....gonna go grab him when I get home

Dunno why this thread went totally off but I'll vote for whoever gets me a preorder

Bought this one on impulse. I'll actually be putting the armor on a VF-1s that appears to be missing one of its leg fins (bought it used along with super armor for like 8000 yen last year off Yahoo Auctions) As for grey visor... Nothing a little paintbrush and lacquer paint can't fix.

Dude I wish Arcadia could package their stuff like this. that armored 1j artwork rocks

Pretty crazy to see the Alto YF-29 for around 200 bucks now http://www.anime-export.com/product/25613

Here's a scale comparison. 1/48 --- 1/60 --- 1/100 --- 1/144

Def not 1/144, but not 1/100 either. They were something in between those two.

I always thought Shizuoka was more actual hobby-based, not toys. I don't recall Yamato or Arcadia every going to these unless my memory I spotty

Yeah I think the same. The hi-metals are impressive for 1/100 but people shouldn't be expecting DX chogokins or yammies despite the preorder shenanagins on this cheaper toy.

I guess the next question is... what color will this 1j be? TV white or DYRL white/grey? Here's the comparison of the old hi-metals

aaand. it's gone again. This wasn't using the "trick", I was actually just searching by hi-metal and it popped up as add to cart O_o Get the feeling there will be many unfulfilled orders if people keep making bogus orders

HLJ is open again! https://secure.hlj.com/product/BAN966524/Act GOGOGOGOGOGOG

Neither. They should all by Low Viz grey or gtfo.

If that's really the production shade of plastic they are using it'll be really nice as it won't be the same strong white used in the 1st hi-metal 1J, which was super prone to yellowing.

I didn't even bother trying to Preorder since I already have 2 1J's heheh. Maybe I"ll pick one up on Mandarake after release. No real rush here

THE PRICE *runs away*

It's exactly the same mold to me. It's just the photoshop power and the other pic is a bad one.

They fixed the pilot figure. YES!!!! but at the same time it looks a lil funny seeing a DYRL pilot painted in TV colors

If you've ever built the VF-1 Kit you'll see it's pretty much a no go as the piece that locks the canopy in is secured by two pegs which are glued in. Pretty much removing that piece requires an exacto knife at min and you're not gonna get it off without some damage and maybe even slicing the pegs.

I'd love to see what Kicker's total is

Feels like Evolution Toy is the unknown kid that asks the pretty girl out to Prom out of the blue. Whether he ends up being a prince or crashes and burns in epic fashion, I guess we'll need to wait until the dance to find out.

Any hobby is a money sink. I Just tell my SO that she should be glad I don't collect cars or something Back on Topic, it's gonna be fun having some CF's around. I wonder if they'll at least include the transparent green canopy like on the brera?
