My bad on that one. I was told that's when the announcement would be but it appears they need to give the accountants a bit more time... which makes sense since they're clearly still working on determining the production quantity.
-
Thanks, glad you like it. I'm a little slow on posting new reviews right now as life got in the way just before i could get my yamato vf17 review up. Hoping to start getting new content up in a week or so.

My problem with the Elint Legioss is that the parts were placed where they wouldn't make sense for transformation. The radar array would be a big dish on the soldier's butt and the antenna would be a giant penis or abdominal protrusion. The radar array should be attached to the bottom of the craft and flip around to either the back of battroid or on top like the VE-1. The antenna should be attached to the arm (or, two smaller antenna protruding way up like the fins normally would).

We'll know about any more releases or the lack thereof after wonderfest.

First, let me start by saying whoever did that art is a much more accomplished artist than I'll ever be. Having said that, that guy's style does not appeal to me. (speaking specifically about the Legioss above, some of his character stuff and other figures I might find more appealing. The Macross stuff looked... off.)
-
If we want a silver lining, the drawing of the Alpha looks pretty good in that poster.
-
Pretty sure that's not a VF100 prototype but like a scratch build model or something that predated the VF100s by some time.

Time will tell but while some MWers may be vocal supporters of the D head type and the S type might have some vocal detractors, the S type is definitely the more iconic. Note that Bandai reissued the 17S, not the 17D, back in the ol' days. Add to that some folks who obviously aren't too thrilled with Yamato's rendition of the head and add to that the requirement you have to buy the super parts and pay the biggest MSRP ever and I think many people, like myself, are easily going to pass... especially if we can just buy the super parts separately.

Can someone just ask Bandai why they're being such a bunch of A�
jenius replied to Lupin The Third's topic in Toys
Sorry, I don't know anyone who actually works for Bandai. It sounded like a friend of mine was out drinking with either people from Yamato or people from FREX or TREX or whoever it is that did the designing. Even my buddies in Japan have had a hard time preordering some of the newer Bandai items. -
The 17D just became the worst selling Yamato valk ever.

My video review is now up on youtube and both videos have been added to the post on anymoon. If you haven't checked it out yet you should! The article has a bit more color than the videos.
-
Yeah, wasn't easy for me to find on YouTube either.. I must need to tag things better or get more popular or something.
-
Sorry, its on YouTube and I'm at work so I'm not able to figure out how to do this on my phone. Try this

I put up a transformation video last night for anyone still having issues in beautiful 1080p. I'll update my anymoon post with embeds of that and the video review later tonight.
-
The 1/48s probably no, it's been a while since we've seen one (we may see a 1/48 V2 at some point though... stranger things have happened). The 1/60 V2 Max might get re-released... history tells us that generally when the secondary market gets pretty hot on a toy Yamato eventually gives us a reissue.
-
I noticed the same thing with the swing bars but it was pretty minor.
-
I have preordered through a friend in Japan.
-
I agree, this needs more white. In battroid the little chest cover flap should be black with the jolly roger not the section above it. Its a neat scheme... I'll try to get it, but I think it could be better.

My post is up on anymoon. I'm hoping to have a video review up tomorrow. I'm also planning on doing a separate video walk-through of transformation separate from the review as hopefully a sort of instructional video. We'll see when I can get the videos up though... this toy takes so long for me to transform still that it's hard to find enough free time for it.
-
You're very lucky, I didn't even get mine to GERWALK before the first wing fell out.
-
No, but the chest is an absolute bear to transform, you sure you have it all locked together right?
-
Talking about msrp in terms of dollars isn't wise since the Japanese economy looks to be hitting some hurdles and the exchange rate may be different six months from now. I'm guessing 27,000 yen.
-
I hear yamato will announce msrp at wonder fest 7/30
-
I'm guessing you can pop out those parts on the 35 Max toy to install red shoulder custom armor that was never sold separately? At any rate, I've got my DMZ-01 review up on anymoon. It's kind of a placeholder right now as I'm just going to update that one review with thoughts on all the DMZs eventually. Please let me know if you see anything I failed to mention.
