Hi, I'm tempted, but have some questions. 1. Does this type of white plastic of Bandai have a history of yellowing fast? 2. What type of top coat is recommended after panel lining and adding extra decals? 3. Does the heat shield fully cover the canopy? In some images it looks like it does, it some appears not fully.

I'm still hoping they'll re-release the VF-0...
-
I'm down for this. Still in doubt of going for the eventual whole line as knowing Bandai, they will milk the molds, and then Arcadia decide to re-release there's which is what I'm waiting for...
-
But there's always new collectors everyday that want a VF collection of the mains without forking out an arm or a leg on Ebay's Yamatos / Bandais. Personally, I'm hoping for some decent Regults and low-vis variations of the VFs from this line.

Examples vs other brands' attempts?

It's Three Zero. They're smacking home runs non-stop with their Ironmans and Evas. It will certainly have the better: - Articulation - Detail - Paint application Price will be the mystery. The Ironmans in 1/10 scale (substantially taller than a 1/72 battroid) with quite a bit of diecast and insane amount of tiny mechanical bits, as well LED feature, is around 100$. Add to that the Marvel fees, it's way below what other companies would charge... (Ironman Bandai figuarts is full plastic, 1/12, no LED, and at times almost priced as a 3Zero.)

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
Raikkonen replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
What's the height of the VF batroid compared to the Yamato 1/60? I gather 1/72. But is it true 1/72 as I'm fully convinced by the detail. -
Looks like glue didn't hold onto the hinge. I think you jumped the gun?
-
Wrong thread. Apologies.
-
I'm so terrorized by that white plastic...
-
Saw various have now listed it bit shorter... (13.97cm) Apologize for deviating, but as this is a international release, does it mean there was a break through with the Zero license and we can soon expect a Bluray international release?
-
Ok... all plastic eventually yellows due to the laws of science. There's no fighting it. Best option is to buy dark grey or black valks to limit the visibility. I however have some toys and diecast figures over 20 years of age, and have zero yellowing... while, my 1 year old Lego sets with white blocks just for display, yellowed, and are not in direct sun and in a smoke free place. I also have a Spawn 10th Anniversary from 2001 sealed in the closet, and the blister packaging is beyond yellowing... it's now a dark tinted coffee brown. While the blisters of other brands are still crystal clear pristine... So conclusively, it also comes down to how cheap the material is...

I'm guessing the centred lasers won't fold in when in jet, thus the alternative version off line...
-
Looks absolutely glorious!!! But... 140mm (5.5 inches) ??? That's also probably to tip of head cannons... WTF??? Glorious suddenly dropped to... Mmmkay... Was thinking this would be at least 160mm...
-
Only have 2 concerns. - The amount of parts forming involved. -And, the potential yellowing on the white plastic scares me. So I might end up waiting for the grey plastic VF-0A version. PS, is there a date for the pre-order?

Macross Δ (Delta) Movie Gekijō no Walkūre (Passionate Walkure)
Raikkonen replied to no3Ljm's topic in Movies and TV Series
I can't finish it. It feels like watching a show for my little kid. It's too much Sailor Moon jam smeared on cringe bread. -
Pretty without a doubt. But I still don't like the batroid version of these Frontier and beyond valks with those large wings just hanging off the backs.
-
All good, was hoping to get some experience insight. I'll get an average from ebay.
-
Oh well, those links will not show me anything as I'm in the EU...

Macross Δ (Delta) Movie Gekijō no Walkūre (Passionate Walkure)
Raikkonen replied to no3Ljm's topic in Movies and TV Series
Apologies for sounding like a utter Noob-bot. But recently started to rekindle Macross after a 10 MIA, and catching up with this Delta saga. Question, is there something that I missed between Frontier and Delta? Frontier feels like a homage of the original Macross on new territory, but Delta... is like completely aimed at a whole different fanbase of anime. -
Thinking of flogging a couple of my doubles. And would like suggestions on prices. Yamato 1/60 VF-1S Focker Low Visibility Bandai DX VF-25S Ozma, 2nd issue Both: - Transformed only once, maybe twice as I always check for defections the moment it lands on my doorstep. - Displayed for a few weeks in a smoke free environment in a closet. - Original boxes, all pieces, instructions, and not used sticker sheets included.

Hahahaha. Nice. Once again, thank for the links. Was up till 3:00am my side watching them, and it's a great re-introduction to Macross toys after my 10 year MIA. I'm surprised by how tiny these HMR are... was expecting them at metal build height at least. And yes, the numerous left over changeable bits would dint my experience. So, I guess to feed my Zero nibbles, I'll either have to wait for this HMR version, or hope Arcadia reissues theirs, or fork out a fortune on ebay. I guess, I'll play the waiting game for a while, and look into flogging some of my doubles to prepare the capital. But... won't deny the Calibre Wing diecasts does have my attention after watching those videos too, but already knew of those as I'm into regular aircraft diecast. Their Hellenic F-16 has a special spot on my shelf. (PS, wait, if I remember, you are Noel now of Calibre wings? Only clicked now when re-reading your name 🤣 )

Yeah, I'm also all in a 0A reissue. Massive regret missing out on the last release.

Immense Gratitude!!! Grabbing hot chocolate for an all nighter through these links!

Top Gun: Maverick (Top Gun 2 is comin)
Raikkonen replied to Ladic's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Ok. With the Felon clearly shown in the trailer and along with the snowy mountains, are we to expect a dogfight near / in / against Russia?
