This sort of reminds me of the time when toy companies will reuse character molds for other franchises, with bizarre results. Probably the most egregious for us is how Matchbox took the He-Man head and repurpose it into Minmei - really as wrong as it can get lol.

It's just different ways of transforming the hips. On the right is the previously released Roy, with the Gerwalk joint engaged to give longer hips and more height overall. On the left is the new Roy with Gerwalk joint totally collapsed and lead her to believe it is smaller. Edit: In addition to the hips, the chest plate on the right figure isn't pushed down properly. Doesn't add anything to the actual height, but visually makes it look taller when comparing with the one on the left. It's the VF equivalent of puffing up one's chest to look bigger.

Seeing how ThreeZero's warranty policy require customers to bear the defective items shipping cost to them, it might be a good idea to purchase their stuff from local toy stores moving forward. In my case of the 1J arriving with a missing rear landing gear, it just so happened I procured it locally and the local toy store covered the cost of shipping the entire lower legs assembly back to ThreeZero in HK for repairs. TZ will cover return shipping of repaired item back to customer though.

No idea how toy IPs work, but assuming Toynami goes ahead with their 1/55, won't it infringe Bandai's in some way?
-
I guess the cramped spacing is very intentional then, such a Bandai thing to do lol. You could be right in that the spacing is what they have designed for the F/S, at which it might make more sense to just delete one hardpoint & space the remaining 2 out appropriately.
-
Or it could just be Bandai started off the project using the VF-19 Advance files as the base & forgot to space out the hardpoints further like the YF-19. (pic from anymoon.com)

Are these from Ahsoka? For some reason I totally checked out of SW TV-series after Obi-Wan, but now pulled back in after just concluding Andor.
-
Really liking the colors & the greenish tint. Thinking it’ll look great next to the old Yammie 1/48s low visibility ones.
-
The gun needs to be spring loaded & shoot the desk up with plastic bullets!
-
Thigh swivels are nice, but can't help thinking they could have just added something to make a basic A-stance. Maybe in the 60th Anniversary ver? lol.. Could it be Toynami's the same as this & just distributing it outside Japan?

Re: the elbow guards. On the existing purple soldier, the elbows can be rotated, but sculpt issues sort of make it moot.
-
I guess there’s no point to ever rotate the arms given the sculpt. Thanks for confirming!

MKT replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That lady pilot looks awfully like Miria at first glance haha -
It's kinda weird how DX's front nose in Fighter looks better than Arcadia's for the Kai, but over to the YF-19, I prefer Arcadia's droop over the DX.
-
Can the soldier's forearms be rotated, such that the elbow guard faces the back? I think some of us wondering this over at KC's thread..
-
More often than not I prefer naked valks than with super packs, but just like the RVF-25, the 31E looks better with them. Shame Bandai hasn't released the super pack for it.
-
That'll be quite a fleet! 31A is really the best 31 design.
-
I agree.
-
Update from KC’s FB:
-
Under other circumstances, this would look like a lazy repaint. But Bandai must have recognized the 31A has quite some pent-up demand. Wait, previous release was a TWE and TWE rule of thumb means no reissues? No problem, just add in a small Walkure emblem, change the modex & call it a 10th Anniversary and call it day. But it's the right move this time lol. Bandai didn't even go with Arad's version. Also, if it's a proper anniversary celebration it would be some gaudy paint scheme.
-
Just giving this its own topic, following up from the main 31 thread. This will be a general retail release. Details up at Tamashii site: https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15635 DX Chogokin VF-31A Macross Delta 10th Anniversary.

Like this angle. 👍🏻 But also it’s gonna be hard to see Teva as not-Mr Kim for some time lol.

Yamato's still look great & have advantages over the modern Arcadia.
