no3Ljm Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Fixed. I'll never ever understand why Bandai is so obsessed with designing such massive brackets to mount their valks on. You'd think someone at Bandai would be able to save them a ton of plastic by coming up with some sort of clip that just latches onto the valk. They need to hire Yeti for this. Quote
trojan_gambit Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Most recent Akiba Showroom DX Chogokin Delta valkyrie display. https://twitter.com/t_features/status/764029561885437952 Daaaamnnnn..... -02 and -03 looking really sweeet.... Never thought the color scheme of -03 will look so good. Quote
Xigfrid Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Same here, that 03 colors is just perfectly tuned. Considering that Hayate rides that 02 more and more, I can't imagine what kind of pre-order madness that would be: Instant 1sec window! In comparison the 262 would be nothing... Quote
seti88 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 I dunno, these color valks seem a lil plain compared to the 01 and 02 with insignia's I think fast packs would jazz the 03/04/05 up.. Quote
Duymon Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Looking at $1200 USD + just for Delta 1-5 + that keith 262. So many hobbies, so little money :0 Quote
Mommar Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Looking at $1200 USD + just for Delta 1-5 + that keith 262. So many hobbies, so little money :0 It's not all at one time though. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Looking at $1200 USD + just for Delta 1-5 + that keith 262. So many hobbies, so little money :0 And this is if you can score the pre order discount lol Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 And this is if you can score the pre order discount lol Like I said before, pre-ordering Chuck's will never be a problem. Quote
derex3592 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Yup. Mirage and Messer's will be a bitch to get. The other two won't sell out quick more than likely. Quote
Garfinkel Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Yup. Mirage and Messer's will be a bitch to get. The other two won't sell out quick more than likely. They will all be a bitch! Hope Arad's is easy as that scheme is so cool! Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 They will all be a bitch! Hope Arad's is easy as that scheme is so cool! Ditto. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Protos look better, since they're usually painted resin. Don't expect the actual releases to have those exact colors. Nor quite as many markings. If you really look, no -27 or -29 matched the sample. I'd love Mirage's and Chuck's to be those exact shades, but I'm expecting brighter, more "cartoony" colors in the end. And quite possibly glossy plastic. Quote

I think Bandai's VF-19 Advanced matches the prototype pretty well. I believe all of the markings made it to the final production run and boy howdy there's a crap ton of tampo printing on that valkyrie. Edited August 19, 2016 by SuperHobo Quote

seti88 Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Looks like the OTHER 01 is getting some action tonite,.... Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 21, 2016 Author Posted August 21, 2016 From episode 21... Arad's variant before Delta was formed. Quote
wmkjr Posted August 21, 2016 Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) I can see something like that being issued after the CF out of nowhere. Like the Maruyama VF-171EX. I'll check back in 3 years to see if it happened. Edited August 21, 2016 by wmkjr Quote
seti88 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) OH MY...I m think my fav valk amongst all VF 31's may have just appeared!! Its probably going to be a p-bandai exclusive thingamajig... Whats even better than a 31a? Edited August 22, 2016 by seti88 Quote
aurance Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Is that a -31A with Arad markings? Or are there other differences? Quote
seti88 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 It didn't get much airtime, but from what i can tell its a skull leader 31a Other than the insignia, the color scheme seems to be in line as per the regular squads.... Quote
Sandman Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Strange that he is flying an A model. That flashback wasn't that long ago. He should've been flying a F model IMO. Quote
seti88 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Strange that he is flying an A model. That flashback wasn't that long ago. He should've been flying a F model IMO. Considering tht the flashback was the walkure origin story, its not far fetched that there wasnt any specific 31 types, as the walkure werent a potent fighting force yet. The 31 custom fsw types were comissioned to support the walkure, forming the walkure platoon. Plus arad flies the S type with the double cannon head lasers. Quote
Sandman Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Yeah I know he flies the s. I figured he was lower rank back then thus flying an f model. But not really low rank to be flying an A model. Quote
Master Dex Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 It doesn't seem to be based on rank outside of Delta platoon. Within where they all fly the Seigfried model it is, but the Kairos so far that we know is only the VF-31A. Thus, it is the only one to fly before the made the Seigfrieds to support Walkure. Quote
chyll2 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 The limited airtime might mean this will be a web-exclusive release 2 to 3 years from now lol Quote
seti88 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Looks like the landing gear wheels are able to be rotated to tuck flush against the knee cavity, so as not to be too visible. Not completely unnoticable but at least there is some design after thought there... 1. No pin point barrier effects? Only asking since it was used quite a bit by hayate during his fights... 2. That looks like a box cover to be popped over the fingers, in the picture with the shield/knife gimmick.. Edited August 24, 2016 by seti88 Quote
Loop Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 In the first pic above, is the circled part showing that they went with clear plastic instead of paint? I'm really hoping so. Quote
Tallman Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Bandai, we need "Thumbs up" hand for Hayate 31J Quote
iguanaman8989 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) 2. That looks like a box cover to be popped over the fingers, in the picture with the shield/knife gimmick.. That box looks to be the bit that the arm guns are attached to, it hinges around to the back of the arm during transformation. Edited August 25, 2016 by iguanaman8989 Quote
Graham Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Looks awesome, hope we can all eventually get one. Quote
