3 years sounds rather long. No idea on HMR, but for the Chogokin we can take the Delta TV series timeline as example. The series was announced in Oct 2014, prologue episode released in Dec 2015 & the DX VF-31J was out in Dec 2016. Assuming Kawamori already had the designs finalised when Delta was announced, then the DX took 2 years..

Great to see more progress on these after being repeatedly gaslit by KC on the release dates lol

After the initial snafu of mailing out items in plastic bags, we haven't really heard of that happening later on. Back then, LP blamed it on the DHL logistics service they used - stock goes directly to DHL and DHL staff were the one packing it for them. Since then, I think all items sent out have proper shipper boxes. But other aspects just points to them not having dedicated staff for the more regular everyday stuff - stock receipt, inventory control & orders fulfillment. It's likely the owners or the front-persons doing everything themselves. Hence the sometimes inconsistent service. A big pointer is how they reply e-mails - instead of cookie cutter or direct-to-the-point responses that one would normally receive from dedicated customer service staff, you can tell by the way they write that it is the owners themselves answering it. My single experience with them was pretty positive, there were issues on that order but they did make it right & amenable to suggestions & discussions.

With the current underbelly proportions & new delimiter belly panels more people might be choosing to do so.

LOL.. Looking back, am not surprised if the HMR VF-4 is also done by T-Rex, seeing that they are just as much a shrunken version of Arcadia's.

And now the web version for easier reading using web translators: https://hjweb.jp/article/1249653/ Something that wasn't so apparent earlier are the barrier punch effect parts. As per article link, the colored ones on the left comes with the reissue YF-19, whilst the egg whites-only on the right are included with the YF-21. The YF-21 ones should eventually be colored to look like the boiled eggs of YF-19's.

I've been earnestly avoiding these Tiny Sessions figures, but these prices finally make me cave in & pick them up: VF-31S, 990Yen: https://hobby-genki.com/en/bandai/10446-tiny-session-vf-31s-siegfried-x-arad-moelders-machine-with-mikumo-guynemer-4573102649713.html VF-25G, 1238Yen: https://hobby-genki.com/en/bandai/14009-tiny-session-vf-25g-messiah-valkyrie-michael-custom-with-ranka-macross-frontier-4573102638960.html

The colors of the green one look somewhat familiar.. then I remembered the VF-25F Family Mart edition. Edit: Added pic from Jenius's site.

KC going back to their KO roots.. by KO-ing themselves? How does that work
-
Not surprising that the HMR VF-0 are mini-Arcadias, because they are designed by T-Rex as well as per scan info. It's rare Bandai acknowledges the designers.
-
The scans confirms Fast Pack is included. Nothing about fold booster though. The guns that are to be plugged into the FP are separate, thinner (although barely from the pics) partsforming items.

Clearer scans

Ah Part 2 of the write-up is out. The landing gears are really in a tight space..
-
Ah yes, the rear landing gears.. it was one of the most irritating aspects of Yamato's. A slight movement backwards when adjusting it on the shelf will see the whole rear flop down. Quite puzzling that Yamato allowed it to happen, seeing how they (including Arcadia) have always paid extra attention to landing gears both in looks and tactile feel. When the DX YF-21 was initially revealed all the way back, we saw quite a few Yammies showing up on JP secondary markets, and the price did drop quite a bit then. They are back to normal levels now. We'll likely see another round of lower price adjustments when the DX actually releases.
