These line of VFs actually look worse in color compared to when they were still in grey mold. I remember thinking this of the base 1J, and now this Tomahawk armored 1J. It's as if the color magnifies all the ugly detailing even more.
-
Yup, Priss on the Kusanagi CT-3X from Cyberpunk 2077.
-
Mostly likely will pick this one up after release, depending on how reviews go. Bandai can justify all they want the reason for this 17 taking Ozempic treatment, but the fact is they have acknowledged how the 17 is supposed to look like in their older 1/65.

Not really a pose, just it's the only one time I transformed the SV-51 CF many moons ago. This was when Yamato's products had nice sculpt, but not so much on the tolerances. It was pretty floppy, so thereafter it spent the rest of its years in Fighter. The Arcadia's SV-51 feels so much better in hand.
-
Had the same issue as well on my Fire Valk, on that particular panel not lining up on one side in Fighter. It's just due to the mega stiff hip joint that makes aligning that panel quite impossible unless hips are disassembled & lubricated.
-
Can quite sense Mr. K's frustration, and I do hope Arcadia can come out of the current problems & continue pioneering valks for fans. Bandai is getting really lazy.

I gotta agree that billing it as a 171 in fantasy or what-if M7 colors would be more palatable. I guess if I am getting this, I would pretend it to be so and lump it together with the Anniversary schemes in the shelf. Haha this is gold! I'm actually a bit meh on Yamato's 17 Battroid mode, perhaps too slim or scrawny in some areas, but I recognize they have done quite an effort to balance all modes in light of the heavy anime magic going on. At minimum, they acknowledge a key aspect of the 17 being a bulky boy. That said, I have your 17 pics saved to my phone for longest time, and I love how the angle plus black background of your shots effectively masks the shortcomings of Yamato's sculpt and giving it a full brute appearance.

Also, I believe these are from Hobby Japan (source: Stone Cheung).

Some new promo materials from Pose+ on the Legioss (Translated with Google Translate): In their original language:

Nice interview it is. I hope they will be able to release all they have planned and are planning.
-
Quite right, especially when we compare to: Exactly, they should have started from the 1/65 as base reference sculpt and improved from there. But I guess Bandai is going for minimal effort just swapping a few parts from the 171.
-
Great that Bandai is expanding on Macross 7. A skinny 17 in Battroid does look weird though, the feeling I get when first seeing this is akin to latest pics of Dwayne Johnson, as compared to say when he was in F&F. It has a lot of the DX 171 vibes all over.

Expanding the info from the link:

That's an interesting way to position the wings. 100%. It's a fresh way to interpret how a valk transforms, and the colors are so well integrated into its design.
-
Back when I first unboxed the 262Hs.. I like its rather compact Gerwalk mode.
-
When Mr. K mentioned no air-conditioning in the earlier tweet above, I guess it's not the only AC he's referring to.
-
^^ A very slick art of the 19P from this angle.
-
The Minmay figure is looking pretty good, and the face sculpt seems able to capture Mikimoto's modern drawings of her quite well.
-
Just a quick update - the figure is fine now. KC did confirm the pants can't be taken off without cutting or removing the stitches, but good news is after investigating the issue, it turns out that it's just the thigh socket having slipped out of the ball, & just needed to be popped back in with very firm pressure.
-
These are really awesome, and I never knew I needed a Dark Legioss + Tread combo until these pics.
-
Nice custom, & the colours are spot on.
-
Eureka! I knew he look very familiar, his likeness came through well in the figure.
-
Ha.. I forgot all about the Pose+ Tricharger. I remember reporting in 2023 the original release being delayed by a whole year, then a year later 2024 on actual release it kinda flew under the radar, and here we are nearly one year later. I was somewhat on the fence on this & was waiting for early reviews on it.. Art Storm branding being on both the Tricharger & the Garland is just them being the distributor, but the manufacturer for both are different parties and don't think they are directly related. One being Pose+ and the other Fewture for the Garland.
-
I am so used to Yamato's VF-17 Fighter proportions, especially the more bulbous front end, that the line art can look weird to me lol.
