R0P3-F15H

this 100% it is why the arm stands for the bases i printed stay relatively low and why i do not trust the battroid mode arm for those display bases. they are more made for fighter and gerwalk tbh, and i wish they'd make some better design.

Shame it never got enough traction to get a full release, would have loved to have a set.

Got my VF-25f today, while I do enjoy it and it’s super parts Bandai sure did make those parts fiddly as frakk to get on, I’m pretty sure I lose the right side cowling bit that’s replaced with another that has armor, it’s attachment was so tight it just flung off somewhere in the room… hope they put out the tornado parts again though.

Honestly Plus is starting to feel that way, its very standout. but i think it still fits and got what wanted to be done done. Zero at least ends with singing and love saving the day! wich is pretty peak macross to me.

I just finished frontier and the movies ( after having not watched them for over ten years gods I feel old now..) today and I gotta say I really like it as a kit bash of SDF and 7, the front half of the anime has… questionable comedy? I hope we are out of the era of “sexual harassment a character is not in control of so it’s funny” for the new show… but as far as music goes long long goodbye and aimo were the only two that really hit, though the composition peice of Ranka and Sheryls duet with My Boyfriend is a Pilot with DYRL was stellar followed up by the double MACROSS PUNCH!!!. it also got me to realize that yea, Macross is really silly. It’s meant to be because humans are silly things, love saves the universe cause we are to dumb for it not to, sure it gets gritty sometimes but there is always that bit at the end that rises everything up! I think frontier does this really well, and imo a capstone for me of everything between it and SDF. I gotta start delta soon and I’ve heard a mixed bag, I also saw someone mention it’d be cool if the new series was a racing tourney and like gosh dang if they did oban star racers but with Macross that’d be sick.

Likely due to camera angles for the magazine, the one of it in battroid is a better representation of its size. sadly, this is a transforming toy that has 3 modes, turns out its kinda hards to make that super accurate, even the yamato sacrificed leg size to make a better fighter mode! its all about sacrificing what for which mode and bandai likely wanted to balance it this time around for better or worse.

Oh damn this looks pretty good, sounds like ill have lest competition in the pre-orders now to heh,

id buy it, and i'm oddly glad for it... hopefully get some more runs now to given the world wide release status. Maybe this might result in more bandai releases to? i do hope some of the other toys outside the VF-1's get releases again :<

nothing to fancy, but I either have stuff displayed on my kallax shelf or the fext hobby display. Still working on the lighting for the middle shelf with the DX VF-1s… oh and my YF-19 sits kinda lonely up above the shelf sadly. But it’ll get it’s company soon enough!

oh if we're talking about firebomber this is my all time favorite.

We will likely never see a full sets pack again, it was a one off occurrence at this point. My optimistic self would say 'wait and see' but my self that has seen the trend /since/ the YF-19 release says 'not going to happen'. Bandai probably makes more money from selling them separately if the DX 1/48's are anything to go off of, but we have the hope with a World Wide Release that they will make /far/ more stock then usual. maybe.

Im just hoping the Fighter mood looks good, i honestly love the fighter mods of the YF-19 and 21 the most.

Well if i didn't have a couple of DX VF-1's id have jumped on this tbh.

i just don't expect this to end up a regular release for it to matter sadly, maybe they will do a renewal of the super parts with these new features is my only hope.

Oh im trying to hold back, i just picked up the DX GBP bundle, and those little HMR's are tantalizing... but ill wait for more re-releases first. i feel spoiled by the 0D having landing gear doors and so much of it just being a mini version of the Arcadia! i was almost tempted to get the VF4 if im honest.

its the first HMR ive got for a reason for sure!

Oh dang that's not bad at all, i got mine for around 300? i think sans missing missile.

i was real lucky to not have mine be broken, Missing one of those high speed missiles that look like a diamond though.... opened the bottom plastic carton and it just flew across the room and i never found it again.

funny enough its the box the toy shipped in ah hah!

I think this is the start of a bad habit…

small update, the left print is done with 15% infil as compared to the rights 100%! looks kinda neat actually! Id hope so! i intended to put them on shapeways but they'd cost far more then i think folk would wanna pay ( over 140-ish USD ) but i am thinking of putting the missile mounts there? Either way, no idea how to go about actually selling the stands myself.

well it took a while but i finally got around to printing the clear stand, learned a lot and ended up making an Arcadia adapter. i might stick to trying to make them in just opaque instead of truly clear as it just takes to much time and to much material. even meeting half way its not fully clear either! what can you do?

VT-1 VE-1 VF-1A DYRL/TV CF ( I like the DYRL head more ) I look forward more to these as they aren’t all white and won’t yellow eventually ( or as badly ) and I in general do not like the hero ships/suits/etc most of the time outside gundam usually. but I’ll probably pick up a DYRL 1A Max if that comes out.

Really love this toy! She looks great with super parts to.

Eh heh the little center console displays are ao cute, absolutely tiny!!
