electric indigo Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 And is the Bandai version really that bad? I've not seen an actual kit myself. It's a good kit, but the construction is a pain. And here's a glimpse at the Gerwalk: Quote
cool8or Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 It looks correct, I'm not impressed. Hope to see high res pics soon to appreciate better some details. Quote
Kelsain Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 So, lighter color = existing sprues of fighter/battroid? Darker color = new pieces sized to give ideal balance in this mode? Backpack looks a little too much like the cartoony Imai kits. I'd prefer the existing Super Valkyrie parts. Quote
Aurora-7 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Was hoping they'd have a two seater 'D' variant option - the classic first appearance of the GERWALK when Hikuru rescued Minmae in it. I suppose there'll be a subsequent release of it. Quote

Gabe Q Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 So, lighter color = existing sprues of fighter/battroid? Darker color = new pieces sized to give ideal balance in this mode? Backpack looks a little too much like the cartoony Imai kits. I'd prefer the existing Super Valkyrie parts. I agree that there seems to be a lot of existing parts being used. The backpack has the little antenna sticking out. Besides that, it looks like the existing backpack from the battroid kit. Quote
GMK Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Backpack looks a little too much like the cartoony Imai kits. I'd prefer the existing Super Valkyrie parts. That's what I said when the line art came out. I'll use backpack from the Super/Strike fighter-mode kits, I think. Was hoping they'd have a two seater 'D' variant option - the classic first appearance of the GERWALK. That's how I'm going to build my -1D. I also want to do Max's TV VF-1A in the captured uniform, one leg forward, one leg back, coat streaming behind... https://www.facebook.com/amiamijapan/photos/a.954910841191496.1073742336.345232028826050/954911847858062/ And it comes with a clear stand!!

Gubaba Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Some news on the 1/72 J/A Gerwalk. It'll come with a TV-style pilot (!!!FINALLY!!!), and have decals to make all three Vermilion Team Valks.http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/25/ Quote
mickyg Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Interesting that the translation calls the 1J "Rick Hunter"... Quote
Gubaba Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Huh... some wag has clearly done some work with Google Translate... Quote
mickyg Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Yeah, somewhat of an odd surprise for sure when I ran the translate! Quote
big F Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Could it be they want to snag some interest from the RowBlowHeck fan boys? Quote
cool8or Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 the Kanji says "Ichijo", just use another translator. Quote
Gubaba Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Could it be they want to snag some interest from the RowBlowHeck fan boys? I think it's probably someone from /m/ just "contributing a better translation" as a joke. Quote
mickyg Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 And here I thought these were all machine translations. You learn something new every day. Back on topic, very much looking forward to this one and the new pilot figures. Could use some for my stalled VF-1D, though I suppose that should have a rather unusually clad pilot, given the story... Quote
big F Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 And here I thought these were all machine translations. You learn something new every day.. Yup and did you know that Siri is in fact a lady in a room answering all the calls, I saw it on The Big Bang Theory so it must be true. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 That 1/72 VF-1 gerwalk is so bought!!! Looking really good. Quote
Jefuemon Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 I was wrong in an earlier post. THIS is the Gerwalk box art!!!!! Quote
cool8or Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Even if they sell the box empty... I'll buy it!!! Quote
Kelsain Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Whoa. I need that in hi res to add to my desktop rotation. Nicely done. I should preorder that... Quote
big F Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 I'm guessing Tenjin may have another book in the offing then Quote
Spitfire_BR Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 so many to buy, so little $$$$... Mininum 3 gerwalks ( one for each version ) and a new art book from Tenjin Hidetaka ??? That's not fair ! Quote
ivorysniper Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 I was wrong in an earlier post. THIS is the Gerwalk box art!!!!! 251.jpg Hikaru, Max & Kakizaki. That's another bada** boxart from Tenjin ! Quote
Gubaba Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 so many to buy, so little $$$$... Mininum 3 gerwalks ( one for each version ) and a new art book from Tenjin Hidetaka ??? That's not fair ! Whoa, pardner! No new Tenjin book has been announced... Quote
big F Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Whoa, pardner! No new Tenjin book has been announced... But you know it's enevetable ! Quote
Gubaba Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 But you know it's enevetable ! True (and there's probably already enough art for one), but there will be ample time to save for it, even if one does buy three Gerwalks. Quote
Spitfire_BR Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 True (and there's probably already enough art for one), but there will be ample time to save for it, even if one does buy three Gerwalks. you need to see my wishlist, brother, trust me, i'll never have time enough to save money ! Quote
PetarB Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Im thinking a hi-res image of that box art would make a great desktop image! Quote
Duymon Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Nice to see the Micro Missile pods aren't super duper oversized like they were on the 1/72 Quote
MechTech Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks for the updates, I like it!!! - MT Quote
