Kanedas Bike Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 guys. whats the difference between the hikaru release, and the hikaru that was used as the armored vf-1? they look the same to me. i know theres a difference, or else whats the point of this release lol The TV version VF-1J Hikaru gets a new head sculpt, white visor vs grey, filler pieces for battroid mode, small wings for battroid, tinted canopy, different red color(?), different painted chest stripes, TV hands and maybe some other things that I forgot. You can take a look at these links to compare: TV VF-1J Hikaru http://tamashii.jp/item/11427/ Armored VF-1J http://tamashii.jp/item/11012/ Thanks for posting those links, I was wondering myself but hadn't taken the time to try and find out on my own. -b.

mickyg Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Still Gray? Overall I mean. The movie one is decidedly gray. I always thought of the tv one as White. Edited August 28, 2016 by mickyg Quote
Chronocidal Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Given how badly I've seen Bandai's white plastic yellow in the past, I have to admit, I'm perfectly okay with the gray color of the Focker 1S. Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Can they atleast use the white pigment they're using for their DX Valk plastic? Because TBH, their Hi-Metal white is really a big leap from the traditional Valk whites. Can they do atleast what Arcadia's doing? Adding a little bit of different pigment so it will be off-white? Not that I'm complaining since I don't have Hi-Metals but it's more of a question of manufacturing consistency. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 That damn lazy maintenance crew finally showed up to work on my Monster... jeez.. took them long enough! The actual duty crew will be arriving soon... LOL Quote
Vi-RS Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 That damn lazy maintenance crew finally showed up to work on my Monster... jeez.. took them long enough! The actual duty crew will be arriving soon... LOL Those look great, but you can use the clear plastic sheet as the platform of each figure to make these look much better. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Ahh...good call. I'll swap it out later. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 The release date? Yeah I think several times by different members and I also mentioned it again yesterday. Quote
warrhead Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I can't remember now: were there any other VF models on that final vote list? I recall that some other protos (VF-4, VF-2 and VF-0) were teased at some event way back when, but I don't remember if there were any other VF's on the list of winners or even on the ballot for that matter.

spanner Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 couldn't really be bothered scanning through over 230 previous pages of this thread so I'll just ask, was there anything regarding the release date for the Spartan? Quote
mechaninac Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 DAMN. That stings a bit to those of us who paid full rack rate. Tell me about it... Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 couldn't really be bothered scanning through over 230 previous pages of this thread so I'll just ask, was there anything regarding the release date for the Spartan? Afaik, none so far beyond Max and Millia's 1J. Quote
easnoddy Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Afaik, none so far beyond Max and Millia's 1J. Millia's? Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Millia's? Yes. But no release date too. I just said including Millia's because that one has more probability getting a release date announcement soon. Since they already showed the planned artwork featured on the bundled display stand. Quote
easnoddy Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Yes. But no release date too. I just said including Millia's because that one has more probability getting a release date announcement soon. Since they already showed the planned artwork featured on the bundled display stand. Ah, yes, memory fades. Still don't have a preorder secured on the Max, which is troubling... Quote
Loop Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) I'm in the same boat easnoddy, I fell asleep for the whole pre-order for the first time ever. Usually when I fall asleep on pre-order night I just doze off a couple times. I need 2 of Max too, so I hope I have some good fortune here soon. Edited August 30, 2016 by Loop Quote
Roy Focker Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I got Max on pre-order but no Hikaru. It will just be Roy & Max defending Robotech. Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Ahg im at the mercy of scalpers now Wait first until the release date before going the scalpers route. They might restock or something. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Release date for the CF VF-1A is now September 29. Quote
