I'm just a casual listener to their songs. I think this is possibly the first time replacing an iconic lead singer with someone of opposite gender is being done, but it is a smart move. Right off the bat it can deflect any direct comparisons that will inevitably be made and move on to a new era for better or worse. She seems to cover the old songs pretty decently, but their new song The Emptiness Machine is where she shines with the new vocals.

Well, Linkin Park has a new vocalist: The whole concert performance: https://youtu.be/Lk0EPHZ59cE?si=Tw4Tahm1BEQK9c88

Assuming the VF-1S reissues do get released in Dec 2024 without further delays, VF-5000 a full year later is very plausible to me.

Hmm I guess the wheels are still too low at the shoulders. And the face sculpt looks totally off lol. But at this price, I’ll likely overlook it. Quite a surprise, because from the first rendered images couple of years ago, they stated the targeted estimated price was USD 220-250. I wonder if HG gave some significant discount on licensing fee or something.

I really want them to stay afloat and support them by picking up re-issues, but I already have multiple copies of their items. As it is, I have both the VF-1S Super Strikes first issues sitting in the closet, whilst having multiple older Yammies of nearly same items in display & also in storage lol. I'm just thinking how much longer they are gonna milk this v2 mold. Granted it is a very good mold, but getting long in the tooth in one or two areas. A v3 would be best, but I don't mind them just updating only leg articulation - a v2.5 ala what KC did to add the sideway thigh joints and then it would be golden.
-
Yeah their 'own factory' thing now seems suspect, given the miniscule output we are seeing. I suspect KC is now only 2 people running it - Cyrus and the admin lady who also runs the mini-physical store they have in HK. With this size, this actually immediately calls to mind Ramen Toys / Calibre Wings, which are also only Noel & his assistant. There are also constant delays with their products, but the difference is, with Noel he posts continual updates and is pretty much transparent on what he is working on all the time. For a casual collector, it may seem there's little news from the company, but the information & updates are all there on their social media channel which may be a bit of a slog to go through if one hasn't touched base in a while, but it is there.
-
I don't have the model kit to compare, but by itself I actually don't mind what's already going on with this mold. Sure, there are some parts that are more of a challenge to move into their proper position, and some parts take quite a few attempts to tab & fit properly (for eg, tabbing both intakes to one another to form the chest). Ultimately, they can be done and that is what matters unlike the gappy areas we have with the 31AX mold.
-
Even though they have never cancelled anything & eventually delivered their products after massive, world-changing delays, I think no one will believe their targeted release dates anymore if they solicit for new orders on anything.

I've only one 1/60 VF-4 being displayed for years (the same one in pics elsewhere), and it has never been brought out of Fighter. It comes together so well in that form, that I have irrational fear if I transform out of it, it may never go back as tightly in Fighter.

Excellent pics @Froy!

@graphic revolt's toy room is one place I don't mind being shut in for days.

Enjoying all the pics posted here, thanks everyone for posting them. The paint app doesn't look shoddy at all and pretty decent. Had to smile a bit on the tech spec reader bit, nice callback to when these were actually promoted as cool gimmicks. I remember in an early review of the Valkyrie Factory VF-1, the reviewer pointed out this feature, so looks like it carried over here.

+1... + many 1s! Love the modded designs from Macross R.
-
No tampo printing at all? 0? Is it really made by Bandai?
-
Other toy lines like Macross or Mospeada?

Love the Moto-slaves too How's the built quality with regards to transformation actually? I haven't got to transforming any yet, so can't attest to that part lol. But they don't appear to break easily and the listings of them that pop up over the long period when I was hunting for my set never indicated broken examples - at most missing pieces. I've never seen the Galvion Circus-1 before, so that is cool. -
Reminds me of an old shoot-em-ups receiving big booster & weapon upgrades!
-
Hmm how to do a re-issue but make the tiniest of changes to not call it a re-issue? On first impression, the base white looks very similar to Threezero’s weathering edition, except this doesn’t have any weathering. I do wonder why Bandai chose this shade of white..

Erm.. there’s the Garlands of Megazone 23 from Arcadia. -
Looks to be retail in US, & web exclusive in Japan & Asia.

I rather it be a Macross valk repainted to TF colors instead of a TF jet repainted to Macross colors...
