    Looks like GX-117 will have the elbow Drill Missile, Iron Cutter and Jet Pilder now. So essentially Bandai conned everyone into buying the poverty spec. version GX-105.

    I know everyone is super hyped for Exia 2025, but lets pause that for a moment to talk about this... https://www.taghobby.com/archives/818400

    Ahh... Transformers Devastation, good times, The game is great, felt like a lost G1 cartoon episode at times. Shame the first toy entry for it is victim to Hasbro's heavy handed budget constraints. A Takara MP of Devastation OP would be a fantastic proposition, but highly unlikely.

    So far I have abstained from these, but the new Illustrious Class has piqued my interest due to it being in that more compatible "Gundam scale" at about 18 cm height.

    I'm in for this, the only concern I have is that the wrists end up too loose and won't be able to hold weapons in place. Other nitpicks would be the shoulder pivot, which could have had better range and that Moshow should have given it proper emotion manipulators instead of swap-out hands as well as a longer sword.

    The MSN-04FF Sazabi was part of a special animation for the opening of the Gundam Side-F at La La Port Fukuoka where they have the life size Nu Gundam RX-93ff statue. The Chogokin Sazabi and Nu Gundam are roughly about 20/21 cm in height, they are NOT proper 1/100 scale. The Chogokin Gundam EX on the other hand is listed as being 18.5 cm tall which would make it exactly 1/100 scale.

    See I don't like SD stuff, the difference being that I would avoid the threads that don't interest me and not enter them to post one liners of ridicule that serves no real purpose other than drowning everything into negativity. Who are these collectors and how do you know there are many that sympathise this way? Other posters here have wondered and complained that this costs 160$ instead of the wishful 60$ – maybe the company has actually done their homework and factored in the niche-ness? What's there not to understand or be confused about? It's a reinterpreted version of the VF-1 that's all. Unix Square never proclaimed to be going anime/line art accurate only to reveal something completely different. Why do you assume that a fantasy space jet fighter (that's what VF-1 is and nothing more) always has to be rooted in real world airframe/aircraft engineering or that fighter mode should be the defining factor for collectors. It's ironic that people here go all Greta Thunberg when a VF-1 fighter mode doesn't look "real" enough, but never have an issue with the fantastical aspect of it transforming into a robot... but yeah "how dare you Unix Square for spacing the intakes so far apart!"🙄 A bit of a weird and contradictory stance to have for all of this if you ask me. 🤔 What is this supposed to even mean? What is Unix Square's effort supposed to be like? Anyone remotely familiar with the IP will tell you it's based on the VF-1, all the usual attributes and traits are there, it's the just the design language that differs greatly. Where does resemblance start and end, who defines that? Sorry but you are just basically proclaiming what appeals to you aesthetically as a de-facto standard for everyone else to adjust their sensibilities to – it doesn't work that way. The samurai Star Wars figures might be great toys, but I don't appreciate the re-interpretation – so in this instance it is not a "good example of redesign". You say the Unix Square VF-1 is ugly and needs fixing and the next person will tell you it's all fine – who is right and who is wrong is a moot point when it comes to design aesthetics.
