    Macross figures

    Yes. You need to paint those if you want it to look good. But it's already comes with 'eye' decal. The other ones that still needs painting are the Bandai Figure-Rise Bust which is like 14cm in height. But that's a minimal thing unless you really wanted to look good. It's already color molded so you can just snapbuilt it. This is how it looks like after building it. Sample with a 1/72 VF-31F for size comparison.

    ^ Sorry to ask. But what's TOM? I don't remember Kairos was put for PO at BBTS. I have to add also. Did anyone ordered from BandaiOnline (Kurama Shop)?
  5. Yup. As of now as per Sentinel's website it says April. http://sentinel-toys.com/catalog/info.php?target=products_detail&products_id=454
  6. To be honest, that's all I'm expecting from them. In which I already thanked them in advance on how cool the figure is and ofcourse that I can't wait for it. But I guess, someone had to do it for the team, right?
  7. Whoops! Looks like I pushed some buttons here. Just so everyone know, I'm not instigating anything. It's hard not to admit that we've already seen this scenario time after time. We always complain on stuff that it's not out yet but once the item gets released, everyone wants a piece of it because it looks nice on other people's photo post or in their shelves together with other figures despite of what the complaints are beforehand. And yes, nobody wants to customize something when the toys are already expensive. If that's your thing, go for it. (If it's good, I might ask for a piece too.) If not, then just like what you have because you never know when this things going to get produced once again. Nor if there's going to be another company that's going to get stab at it. After all, this is not like Gundam that they can just remake it every time they want. And yes, I said Gundam. And yes again, that I can't compare a small company to Bandai. But it's true. I'm just glad that another company is doing something about it rather than wait for some big companies to make something of it. How come the big companies wouldn't like to gamble with properties like this? This is already a niche of a niche product. To make the long story short, all I'm just saying is, if you guys think that the new design visor kind of ruined the whole concept, and you don't like it, then feel free to cancel your order while there's still time to cancel it. You don't want to get blacklisted on your favorite Japanese Online Shops. But if you guys are still here just because the toy looks awesome even though it's not the actual anime version, then maybe this is the chance to make this successful and later on they might decide to look back and produce the ones from the anime series in 1/12 scale. All four of them. Who knows, right? Anyways, if I offended anyone here for posting something like "I'll just wait until this gets released and shipped to see everyone's reaction...", then I didn't mean too. If not, then we're all cool here. And besides, I'm just here for the cool toys. Always has. Hey Tober. I already tried emailing them about it. Though it's not in Japanese. But if I get a chance on finding someone who's fluent with it, I'll ask if they could translate my email. Will update you guys if I will get a reply from them so we get clear on the issue regarding the visor.
  8. I'll just wait until this gets released and shipped to see everyone's reaction on how this is the best Ride Armor they owned so far despite of the visor design.

    Don't worry, Mr.Cheng. We're on the same timeframe. Thanks Spanner. Let's hope so.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Good for you, Spanner. Atleast you know you secured three and it's going to get shipped tomorrow. Whereas me, I only bought one and still no sign if I'm going to have it or they're going to cancel it.

    Hi-Metal R

    Or Max's VF-1A DYRL or Kakizaki's VF-1A DYRL first then Tomahawk or some enemy mechs. But since VF-1 is much the safer route, they might follow it with Max's VF-1A TV and Kakizaki's VF-1A TV and announce a Max's VF-1S for an exclusive release.

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Another day and still waiting for NY... Though I'm glad they already shipped my Figuarts Iron Man Mk IV and Robot Damashii Aug the other day.
  13. No, they don't. Hahaha! I'm only saying that because I love recoloring your photos for color custom studies.

    For sure it's going to be another VF-1 repaint. Guaranteed.
  15. That's because the show have different helmet and visor. This one is more 'reimagined' version. I know the issue here is that it felt like they've shown us two different kind of helmets from the initial promo/prototype up to this point with their latest update. But you can't just compare this one to the anime version since they have different design and visor look. From the get-go, you can really tell that the face is not visible in this incarnation.
  16. Would be nice though if LEY's will be the one having that Missile Launcher as per the book cover. Hopefully Jenius can forward that info on the guy he knows. Look! David has an extra Stick. If you don't like Stick's helmet, let me know. But I'm actually thinking what would I do with the extra helmet, B? The reason also why we still buy the things we have complaints about it is that there's nothing besides it out there. It's not like a lot of companies doing the same thing so we can have options. If we like, we just buy it. If we have complaints about it, we still buy it and just ignore the things we complain about. The only time we don't buy it is if we really don't like it or it's already out of our budget. People will not be satisfied until they're the ones who's going to make their own thing. But I don't have that sets of skill so I rather get it as is. Besides, I don't have complains on the visor. The only thing that bothers me is the location of the foot rest. Maybe you need to order 2 extra more. You never know if they will going to release Fuke's and Yellow's incarnation of this design. Atleast you already have extras to work your 3D magic on. Who knows? Maybe when these two figures gets a success run, they will decide to create and expand this line with the actual anime design that comes with a clear visor. Who knows, right? If that happens, I'm IN for those 4 cool looking Ride Armors. I'll probably get doubles of those.
  17. Sad to say, no. I basically started (re)collecting Macross on 2013, just right after Yamato folded. I wasn't that super active in posting after joining the forum back in 2007 so I kind of missed out all the production talk between Yamato and Graham. So most of the things that I've been noticing here are the recent posts and tweets between some members and Mr.K/Arcadia. And I have a feeling that it's probably not the same compared to what Graham and Yamato did. Would be nice though if some production people from Japan would spend some time and see all the things that we're posting.
  18. I don't think it will matter now. This is already in the final phase of production. I don't think they will change it. Besides, we always rant here pretty much about everything. For years that I've been posting here, I can't remember any specific posts that pertains to some member here having some interactions or any with a company that's producing the toy. There's some twitter posts posted here involving Mr. K of Arcadia but nothing beyond that they will change something just because some forum/er have a negative thing to say about it. Right now, all we have to do is just accept it for what it is. Still, I'm sure that will not stop future ranting once the item is in our hands.
