ChaoticYeti Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Is this just a reissue of the green v1 VF-27? Quote
wmkjr Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Looks like same as the vf-27w/supers but green. The hip bars by the crotch look like the newer one the older one is higher on the crotch plate. Edited November 22, 2014 by wmkjr Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Ok, so it has the few mold improvements that the "renewal" did. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Whew, a "properly" colored photo. (The earlier pics were much too blue--a "real" VF-27 is very yellow/olive-green, not a "pretty" emerald green) Quote
chyll2 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 OT: can anyone say or take a pic what is the note on the Armored 25F with Sniper rifle? Does this means bundle? Quote

Chronocidal Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Why are they such trolls with this stuff? Continually advertising something that came out two years ago is just cruel to the fans in general. Quote
mechaninac Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Why are they such trolls with this stuff? Continually advertising something that came out two years ago is just cruel to the fans in general. For the yuks and lolz? What better way to generate nerd-rage on dedicated toy forums? I keed, I keed... Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Actually by now, it wouldn't surprise me if it was exactly that. Quote
jenius Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 They're reminding you to try to get in on the impossible preorder or you'll have to pay an arm and a leg later. Quote
Saburo Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 They're reminding you to try to get in on the impossible preorder or you'll have to pay an arm and a leg later. This was the first lesson I learned when I started collecting Valks. Quote
McFly!! Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 OT: can anyone say or take a pic what is the note on the Armored 25F with Sniper rifle? Does this means bundle? I'd actually get that bundle, considering how off the charts the prices for alto Armored parts are... Plus he did use michel's rifle in the last ep of the tv series (klan with the nice pass!). Quote
mickyg Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 One of my all time favourite moments in the whole series! I'm definitely interested. Quote
IXTL Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 OT: can anyone say or take a pic what is the note on the Armored 25F with Sniper rifle? Does this means bundle? No bundle I'm afraid. The tags in front of the figure are for the original releases of the 25F Armor Parts and Alto's 25F. The tag for the Armor Parts even says "受注受付終了" - "no more orders accepted". Quote
Kurisama Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 About time! Been looking forward to owning a CF 27! Quote
Major Focker Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 i'm trying to remember: did the previous CF VF-27 release come with commander's head/ears as optional parts to make a Grace version? Quote
IXTL Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 i'm trying to remember: did the previous CF VF-27 release come with commander's head/ears as optional parts to make a Grace version? That was the 1/72 scale model kit IIRC. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 The previous DX was ONLY Grace's, this is the first time we've seen a CF headsculpt on a DX. Quote
Mommar Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I guess they chose to pose the two new 27's in Battroid to show the distinction between the head sculpts? Because that's the absolute weakest mode on these 1.5 Renewals. I'd only ever keep them in fighter/gerwalk. Quote
Loop Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Maybe they will release the CF as a general release and the Grace as a Tamashii web exclusive? And if they messed up on the modex you could just swap the heads lol. I will be picking up both, so I can have my 27 squad, most likely displayed in fighter. Now if we could get some ghosts for Brera I would be pretty damn happy. Quote

But people should be able to find people here on MW for head-swaps, to "correct" things. Quote
Scream Man Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Were brera's Ghosts any different to Lucas? Quote
Kurisama Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Yeah, they were more streamlined with the details (not sure about general shape - looked pretty close there) and of course a smaller version of Brera's gun tracked on the top. Quote
Saburo Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Were brera's Ghosts any different to Lucas? What Kurisama said. Here are some photos Anime52k8 posted Hmmm... I might have to purchase a pegged Yeti stand in slim hope of VF-27 ghosts. Edited November 23, 2014 by Saburo Quote
Mommar Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I would absolutely shell out for Brera's Ghosts if they made them. I love how the look. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 That'd be a heck of an expensive swap if you only want one. But people should be able to find people here on MW for head-swaps, to "correct" things. Didn't the original green 27 release come with stickers to let you choose what modex to put on them? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Yes, but if they print the numbers on this time, and put the wrong heads on any given modex, then you see the problem... Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I'm was thinking those might have been just applied stickers. But I guess with all the extra tampo they added since the super vf-27 release, it's likely that they were printed on this time. Quote
Double Spy Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 What does this say? Is this coming out as a bundle? Renewal Armored? That dates looks to say 2012 :/ Quote
mickyg Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 No bundle I'm afraid. The tags in front of the figure are for the original releases of the 25F Armor Parts and Alto's 25F. The tag for the Armor Parts even says "受注受付終了" - "no more orders accepted". Near the top of the page. I was disappointed as well... Very excited about a VF-27 release though! Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Yes, but if they print the numbers on this time, and put the wrong heads on any given modex, then you see the problem... Then you'll just have to buy both and swap the heads, obviously. Quote
chyll2 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Then you'll just have to buy both and swap the heads, obviously. or bandai should just correct it now and people don't need to buy both? Quote
