    So which scanner are you going to pick up? I’ve been looking a bit at the options.

    They showed a VF-1D, and max VF-1J. Plus GBP, not just the Hikaru 1J (with grey goggles), but also alternate color versions on a Roy 1S and a Max 1J. so we’re expecting the 1D, and the GBP at least, though no idea if the grey goggles 1J will be a head swap or what.
  3. Sanity is Optional
    That was my initial thought as well. Especially the "eye" detail.

    My personal thought is that we're getting a callback to AI-as-enemy from Plus after Macross 7, Frontier, and Delta focused on ancient aliens/bug aliens/humanoid aliens. Not to mention modern combat aviation is starting to deal more in drones, and Kawamori is definitely a fan of real-world aircraft design as inspiration.

    Zero chance, the model kits are a different division of Bandai, they even have a different (color) logo.

    If they do a re-release of the 1J with GBP, it will likely only have the grey-goggles, which means anyone who wants one with white would need an original release.

    Going by the shape, I'm imagining something like a combination of a VF-4 and a VF-31 as far as transformation? Legs and arms inside the wing, and the lower legs forming outboard engines.

    Set them all to JPY, probably different exchange rates exacerbating it. HLJ is only ¥31,900

    As someone who builds a lot of Bandai plastic models, I have very little concern about hue matching. Bandai has very tight control over their plastic quality and colors.

    They might just include a grey sticker in the GBP set and call it a day. Or have a slip-on part, or a replacement head.
  11. Sanity is Optional
    So far I think it’s just supposition due to the shown 1J having the grey goggles, rather than actual confirmation that the GBP will be a set with a 1J.
  12. Sanity is Optional
    Dunno, the Max and VF-1S Hikaru didn't end up much more than MSRP at release, which hopefully will temper them somewhat. Plus the DX YF-29 set is essentially at retail, if they're looking at more than just VF-1 DX releases.

    Most recent Arcadia is Blue cardboard.
  14. Sanity is Optional
    I'd be mildly surprised, given that the 31 is already one of the best engineered valkyrie figures (if not the best).
  15. Sanity is Optional
    I like the more military color on the Roy GBP set.
  16. Sanity is Optional
    This ought to give you a basic idea: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10444073 Dalong also has a page for the SV-262Hs here: http://dalong.net/reviews/etc/md09/md09_p.htm There's pics down at the bottom showing a bare build (no paint/sticker/decal)

    I imagine that the transparent suit layer was an obvious direction to go with the injection molding tech they're using. Also for some reason the test suits seem to be very popular with fans...
  18. Sanity is Optional
    I'm honestly surprised they're going to a double-seater this soon in the line. Unexpected, but welcomed.
  19. Sanity is Optional
    Nope, completely different mold and size.
  20. Sanity is Optional
    Finally an alternate pod (other than the one that came with the armored parts). Now if only they'd make one that made sense to stick on the 31A...
  21. Sanity is Optional
    @Xigfrid designed one up and built one in 1/60 scale This specific posts has it alongside a 1/60 YF-21 and YF-19
  22. Sanity is Optional
    Good question.

    HLJ's got about the same pricing as everyone else, excepting Amazon Japan. At least they have private warehouse.
