    I can see why, and I'm hard-pressed to think of the last time I've seen this warning on a listing.

    Like Toynami, at a certain price point, these are hard to resist. If shipping were cheaper, I'd have folded on some of the recent promos. I liked the metallic finish variants of Max and Mirya and some of the other multibuys too. Just didn't place the orders. Helped thinking that it was the right choice because a nice DX VF-1 reissue was gonna come that I was saving for. Yeah, that didn't quite work out.

    If it were available to them, of course. Lotsa hurdles so far.

    Just got the email. Only had the one experience with them, and it went well...unlike others' experiences, it would seem. Hate to say it, but that price is too painful for me. If that's standard...I may have spoke too soon for being in on this. 😭

    Someone in the PO thread said the details say both are included, which is a relief.
  6. Radioguy
    Well, that changes things. I remain in, and now hope for the DYRL Kakizaki "Mechanic Edition". *hint*, *nudge* 😉 So, will we be getting a real shot at this, or will the "exclusive" status immediately tack on exorbitant fees?

    I'm in, although I wish it had both covers. Honestly, with how VF-1 DX releases/reissues are less frequent, and the near-instant, and usually insurmountable, late tax being imposed that doubles every year, Bandai MUST be cognizant that folks who wanted the original non-clear version will be buying this as their main Hikaru DX as they can never (at least easily) afford the original. Using the Bandai playbook, "Special Color Version" releases often are meant to simply satisfy the market who missed the first release anyhow, so this kinda fits that bill but for the slightly less-presentable (from a classic perspective) "mechanic" clear covers. In that sense, it almost seems cruel not to include standard covers as well at this point. I mean, as crazy as it may sound, I can actually imagine someone buying this and attempting to paint the the clear covers to match the original due to the cost differential alone. Yes, I do understand they feel a difference is needed to justify a reissue, but no one should be put in that position either. Anyhoo, 1st world problem rant over. ;)

    They are not accurate. With respect, @Big s, you're wrong here. They are misshapen, and even compared to the line art you post. You can argue TZ had to deform them as much as they have to remain as large as possible while still being able to pass through during transformation, but that's a worse crime than keeping the head small but overall accurate to pass through. Want the big head? They should give it as an extra like a set of large hands. No one will mind that, and I'd love to see it, but not this.

    I need to see one close before I'll buy one. Gonna be the same with Unix Square when they come.
  10. Radioguy
    Love the Miryia maroon, but the 1S head is a whole new topic of discussion now.
  11. Radioguy
    Well, duh. It was implied. 😄
  12. Radioguy
    Oh, that Vultan will fly off the shelves. Maybe they can make a talking stand for it if they don't do a talking figure next.
  13. Radioguy
    Hope this happens with DX too...
  14. Radioguy
    Damn. Missed it there.
  15. Radioguy
    If I was a babysitter, I know I would end up traumatizing them by hanging this up above their crib. Damn, I wish it had a soundclip...
  16. Radioguy
    Ohhhh, I'm going to own that. Yes, indeed I am.

    I don't get keeping the visor green across these variants. Sometimes it clashes with the livery. I really thought GoF set a precedent of changing it, but no.
  18. Radioguy
    Pics to come?
  19. Radioguy
    Yeah, it's so confusing I just can't wrap my...well, you know...around it. 😄
  20. Radioguy
    If either of those illustrations were the basis for this sculpt, I understand the head even less. If the tradeoff is really going to be that significant, then this shouldn't have been a transforming model.
  21. Radioguy
    I saw it theorized that the stickers for MP-44S weren't to be cheap, or to recreate the 80s experience (which I initially thought), but a holdback to have this appeal to those who never got MP-44 in the first place and want to skew that way in appearance. I think that's it, and it may be why we didn't get the toy head, although my initial inkling was cost myself especially for the head. I wish it were cheaper, but I think I will get him as I only snagged a 44 KO up to now. Sadly, to me, he won't have the voice chip backpack which I would have enjoyed; especially if he had new clips. (Ah well, maybe I'll find that original 44 someday.)

    Thanks for posting that, as it's kinda making my case. Chibi joke aside, I think you misunderstood my critique. You'll see I was specific about scale of the visor/goggle (and also dimensions when posting elsewhere), but specifically didn't mention overall size. Yes, it's bigger, but it's also inaccurate in comparison to the line art even from the forward view when you look at the visor/goggle and the lens/window compared to overall head size. If the proportions in the line art or other toys were maintained at this overall larger size, I wouldn't have the problem I do. I might have a different problem then, but not this one. 😉
  23. Radioguy
    No, it's not that for me. It looks wrong in scale even with the visor. Using the Big West line art you have, can you actually say the TZ head is accurate?
  24. Radioguy
    This had better not become the norm.
  25. Radioguy
    If they don't fix that, I'm out. It looks too weird with a chibi head.
