Revisiting Mirage's VF-31C.

Very nice!

Tried reshooting the VT-1 pics without the overhead hangar lights so it wouldn't look as shiny. Which looks better, these or the earlier pics? (Spoiler heading so people don't have to scroll through so many images if they don't want to.)

I like these ones more as the shadows on the floor are less pronounced.

I dunno but I like this shot the best

A proper skull leader paint scheme.

@Lolicon, I like all of them, pure VT-1 pornography.

VF-31S Armored Siegfried - Fighter Mode

When you need the firepower to eliminate all targets in the battle zone.

 

Filth.

OK, messed with this thing a bit more.

 

So, my cockpit LED doesn't work. That sucks since it is one of the premium features that is supposed to set this toy apart from others. The gunpod led works as seen in the Gerwalk pic. The deco is definitely sharp! I really like the overall look of this thing. The paintjob and detail are the saving grace for this figure. Other than the looks, the thing feels like a clunker compared to Arcadia or Bandai versions. The gun looks chibby..nbd, the intakes don't tab very securely in Gerwalk mode or fighter but figeter mode is fine since everything else tabs in nicely and holds it all in place. The stand is a very stupid design and basically just props the toy in all modes including fighter which is the only mode it is designed to really work for. Gewrwalk mode is basically garbage with the limited leg articulation and unsecure intake tabs. The shoulders get in the way of the wings but not so bad because you can move it around to get it working for whatever you need. Again, I wouldn't say money well spent but I don't regret the purchase at all. It's nice to have an overall decent 1/72 Valk for someone who is a huge VF-1 fan and collector and it really does look fantastic.

I haven't transformed any of my 25s in quite some time, and wow we've come a long way! Delta may have been a terrible, terrible, show, and while I like the overall look of the 25s more, the 31s have better engineering, making them easier to transform.

Transforming my 25S felt like a lot more hassle, what with the floppy joints and all. Still, I love the VF-25s! I want a Version 3.0!

@Lolicon That's a beautifully detailed Ozma 25 you have there, nicely done! 

I would love to see Bandai down the road produce a Version 3.0 VF-25 that uses the VF-31 engineering.

Thanks! I'll finish the rest of the squadron eventually, though at my current pace we might see a V3.0 before then.

A v3.0 vf-25 would be great, let's have another go for an armored ozma at reasonable prices. 

Just wondering where bandai would find available months to release them even if bandai wanted to....

Additionally, not forgetting if bandai does frontier in HMR...

Just being honest. I’d be pissed if they came out with a 3.0 25. I’m trying to slow down my collecting and would hate to be FORCED into replacing all my 25’s.

I think it's safe to assume that Bandai won't send any goons to your home and make you buy any of their stuff while holding you at gunpoint.

No, they’ll have us “banging on their door” with money in hand begging them to sell it to us and they’ll be like, “nope, preorderes are sold out”!

Great poses! The white parts may look a bit plain, but the brilliant cobalt blue & detailed tampos more than makes up for it.

Thanks! I love how you setup those stands! It perfectly takes away the monotony of Valks lined up exactly the same way.
