Akai Koudan Zillion & The Acquisition of a Grail
MKT replied to Valkyrie Hunter D's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Great vid. The Tri-charger looks even better here, especially with the nice range of articulation it has. Greatly appreciate the designer still tweaking, iterating & further improving it based on feedback. JJ having 5 whole alternate heads (not just faces), really shows how Pose+ wants it to be a best figure it can be. They didn’t have to do it, but the extra adapters to cater for other 3.75” figures is nice touch. It maximizes JJ as a very nice figure to be showed off outside the Tri-charger, without leaving the Tri-charger looking incomplete by using others as a stand-in pilot. -

Looking really nice @Lolicon! It looks even better than a base Arcadia VF-1S.. -
It was just a placard that appeared years ago at some exhibition, but it became vaporware when there were no official mentions of it thereafter. If not mistaken, this could be the only Macross item Arcadia have teased but never followed through after. Unlike Bandai..

Often when handling a VF toy, I find something new or re-discover something I like about it that have been glossed over previously. This time it's the half-Gerwalk mode of the VF-1.
-
The HMR is somehow more resistant to yellowing compared to their DX Chogokins, fortunately or unfortunately.
-
They should also release the VF-0A CF they've teased before..
-
It's too bad Amiami didn't give much PO discount this time as they did for the VF-0S.
-
Always wanted to get some of these, but the orange ones sell out pretty quickly. Size wise, they work quite well with HMR. Here's a video, with comparison to 6" figures of which HMR are close in size to:
-
Yeah somewhat impossible to get PO's in at AJ; it has joined Hobby Search & CDJ as unicorns. The good thing about AJ though, based on past few releases, there's always quantities available on release day.
-
Avaliable yet again on Amiami. Edit: 25 minutes later and its still up.
-
Amiami’s time will most likely be 11am, in keeping with the tradition of their last few POs.

Such a nice display @Grey728! I've quite a few times fought the urge to get the Jada Toys cars just for these figures..
-
VF-4 in fighter is so pretty. Toy wise, I think it's the best transforming VF in the HMR line.
-
The original Monster doesn't transform, but the VB-6 Konig Monster from Frontier does. Bandai does make one in the DX line, and at close to 1/100, it's in ballpark of HMR scale: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=4194#more-4194 There's the HMR VF-2SS, and only 2 variants have been made: http://anymoon.com/blog/?p=10337#more-10337 The only other VF-2SS are the 1/60 ones from Evolution Toys. These are hot mess and avoid them unless you can pick them up for 85% off retail.
-
Nice blue here… Hopefully I’m wrong, but it also appears to exhibit some translucence as what we got for Roy’s 0S.
-
Didn’t notice how different both versions are until your comparison pics @no3Ljm. Purely on sculpt, ignoring any official art, can’t say I prefer one over the other as both look great.

MKT replied to VF-18S Hornet's topic in Toys
This is my same order of favorites too! -
We finally have the product specifications, it says 170mm height. No idea what scale it approximates to though.. For Yen 22k, I'd wish for it to have lots of metal within, like the other non-transforming HMR's like Bat-Shu or even the HMR Destroids, but I'm not hopeful since the transforming VFs have the least metal ever.
-
I never use the shorter, partsforming wings for any of the HMR VF-1 or VF-0S for battroid mode so far, but I foresee myself using it for the VF-0D. I don't display the Arcadia VF-0D in battroid mostly for this reason, as the huge wings just look too awkward hanging off the back. When Bandai's showed off the VF-0S in their promo pics, the landing gears were also white. So it was a bummer when it turned out silver on release. I'd expect the same for the VF-0D.
-
Sigh such ambitious pricing. I thought I would definitely get this after skipping Megahouse’s Hi-Spec, but the price is really crazy.

https://tamashiiweb.com/item/14330 Preorder: 01 March 2023 Release: August 2023 Price: Yen 15,400, inclusive 10% domestic tax. Color looking good so far.

This really came out of the (Genius) blue! Not really feeling this, but I'll likely get one. Bandai just naming it 'Genius blue' is a stroke of genius by avoiding naming it 'Max' for WWM release lol. I wish Bandai adopts nice military schemes for non-canon schemes, like what Yamato did for their 1/48, instead of shoehorning other characters' colors in.
