The flightpose stand seems to offer a great displaying option, but I’m a bit hesitant to purchase because I read somewhere on the forum that those rubber heads will react & eat into paint and bare plastic surface over time. Granted DX Valks aren’t painted at least where the support points will be in fighter mode, but with all the bells and whistles equipped I assume it could be quite hefty exerting quite a bit of pressure against those rubber bumpers. I have seen what weight, heat, combined with time does to the mating surface between plastic and some rubber- it gets all sticky and gummy. Any advice or experience please, thanks!

Very nice so colourful! I wonder when Bandai will release DYRL Roy, the SSP packaging & contents ensures its future arrival.. I have a strong feeling the next DX will be TWE Max
-
Haha I'll take one as well please, that J in the background looks awfully good to me. I tried to line it up push it up some more but it never seems to sit flush, which really ruined the beauty of the fighter mode for me

I picked it up, and the shipping they quoted is 1,935 yen to Ontario, Canada via Air SP registered. This my 3rd set from Manda and the other two branches charged exactly the same. Not sure how Complex branch is known to charge more..

Thought I’d prefer Hikaru 1S the hero Valk, but boy was I wrong! I also REALLY like the 1A head and the green scheme of Kakizaki now that I have one in hand..very sharp and simply amazing. I would have preferred Kakizaki green over Max blue anyway as it appeals to me more aesthetically..only if it wasn’t for the dying pilot. Can’t wait for DYRL Max 1A now. I strongly recommend you pick one up

This may have been done a thousand times already by the members here, but for me it was like a slap in the face and thought it was brilliant enough to share. I was looking at tekering’s awesome photos of the Kakizaki vf-1a w/ SP above, and noticed that he was able to put the bird up with the Bandai’s DX display stand arm mounted vertically, which is only meant for battroid mode according to manual. I have a detolf and without access to some Yeti stand found it challenging to fit two VF-1’s with SSP equipped. I prefer them airborne. I believe this small mod may provide a displaying solution to those with detolf. Here are some photos; All I did was with a hobby knife, cut away the highlighted area so that the clear adaptor included in SSP sits flush with the arm. Then I reversed the base for better balance and better angle of the plane (nose up) but you can certainly have the base sit forward as usual. Either way the balance is not way off and the whole setup feels solid. Yes, I deliberately shook my detolf to see a bird tip off and fall With the base forward though, you will find the aircraft sits nose down as if it is descending all due to how the adaptor sits on the base of the arm. Now with more space created by raising it significantly, I may be able to fit another VF-1 w/ SP sitting on a factory Bandai DX display stand comfortably in the detolf. I will update as soon as my copy of the Kakizaki arrives, thanks!

Hi Lolicon I see you've attached the skull decal by the canopy which looks great Small details do count eh. Just wondering if you recommend using a topcoat to seal the deal or the supplied Bandai water slide decal by itself was sufficient in your experience, thanks.

Scored it, thanks very much! I do have a question for members who have experience purchasing on Yahoo auction jp/Buyee, since this is my first item and I am rather used to the usual suspects such as amiami, hlj, and mandarake. Do you get your stuff safely in a timely fashion using Buyee proxy service? Would you buy the optional “protective packaging service” for 1500 yen?-In my case it will just be one DX VF-1A Kaki, thanks!

In between hero valk releases, oh yes, there will be temptation by design. The kakizaki vf-1a falls into that category for me yet I find myself looking forward to the release date and contemplating to snag one off on release date or on Manda later on...He plays such a insignificant role in the DYRL movie though!!

Sorry my wallet got crushed instead of yours because I snatched the Hikaru in the link above from Manda Actually shipping wasn’t so bad, 4500 via EMS, for a grand total of 30500 yen. I would usually go with reg. SAL but considering how backed up our postal service has been due to pandemic, EMS was well worth it for its speed. Been looking for one at a reasonably inflated price and yes it does seem going price for one of these has come down a bit now.

My only concern was that the lack of seal could imply some type of Bandai’s internal sign for QC reject or even a Filipino knock-off as myk mentioned The one I picked up was missing sticker, unopened with some minor box scuff for 26k yen at Manda. Just getting into 1/48 DX Valkyrie and I can’t stop checking it out at different angles. Wish had a electric turning base that works in detolf. Thanks for the welcome messages!

Hello I am a new member and this is my very first post I have a question regarding copyright sticker on the right upper corner of the DX box. I have just purchased a DX VF-1S Hikaru off Mandarake and this particular box seems to be missing the copyright sticker. Has anyone on the board experienced something similar, what is the meaning of this if anything, thank you.
