Scyla Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Wouldn't it be cool if they DX Chogokin releases include small figures of the idols that can be placed on the Valkyries through hidden magnets? Quote
seti88 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Wouldn't it be cool if they DX Chogokin releases include small figures of the idols that can be placed on the Valkyries through hidden magnets? As a method i thk IT would b cool to do away w any tab points. Not too sure abt the idea of having the singers on the valk tho, have to see more of it in the series. Podcast did mention something abt the walkure being on the pod surfaces like a stage? If that involved magnets imagine the stuff that can b put on there.. Quote
Sildani Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Magnetic attachment points would be excellent. Now, do I trust Bandai's QC enough to think they'll get the polarity right every time? Hmm... Quote
Duymon Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I am really looking forward to these, but at the same time the MSRP of the YF-30 was like 20,000 so I don't expect these to be far off from that. Prolly looking at maybe one of each tops for this series. Quote
Scyla Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Magnetic attachment points would be excellent. Now, do I trust Bandai's QC enough to think they'll get the polarity right every time? Hmm... Wouldn't it be fun if the magnet was installed in the wrong direction and it would flick the idol 10 feet away. You could trade your faulty Valkyrie with someone who hates the idea of idols playing a major role in Macross. Edited December 28, 2015 by Scyla Quote
aaajin Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Kinda feel meh about the battery pack. Understand where Kamamori is going, since he's always up to date with the latest weaponry techs and railgun is gaining interest in recent years, esp when a US navy ship is equipped with one. But in terms of toy, it doesnt really add to the aesthetic/functionality..basically just a block of plastic = battery pack..i.e Q : what is this block of plastic? what does it do?A : its a battery pack Edited December 29, 2015 by aaajin Quote

A : its a battery pack They should make it a real battery with USB port to charge your phone. Added value to the Valk and functionality for the block. Quote
Mommar Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I guess Kawamori found an even worse use for the backpack than stadium lighting missile box? Quote
spanner Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 battery pack..? are they running out of idea's or something? I guess watching the anime in its entirety will reveal if any of the new stuff actually works or not.. Quote
Tochiro Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I guess Kawamori found an even worse use for the backpack than stadium lighting missile box?Hell no, it's awesome. I mean, it's a boomerang charger! ＼(^o^)／ Quote
seti88 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Hell no, it's awesome. I mean, it's a boomerang charger! ＼(^o^)／ Correct me if am wrong, but did the podcast mention something abt a stage. Does it mean that unfolded, it provides a standing platform where the singers can perform during battle? Quote
aaajin Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 They should make it a real battery with USB port to charge your phone. Added value to the Valk and functionality for the block. lol. or equipped it with LED & use it as a torch light Quote
Sildani Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 MP3 player preloaded with the Delta soundtrack, and selected sound bites. Quote

Does it mean that unfolded, it provides a standing platform where the singers can perform during battle? You are thinking of a differently equipped valk. Will not go into details here because of spoilers. Edited December 30, 2015 by Tochiro Quote
Scyla Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 A few more screen caps: The RVF-31 has no stage as a container but rather a radar dish where the idols dance upon: Since you can see planet between the legs/engines I assume it can transform into a rectangle. An image of the boomerang launchers in the rear fuselage of the Shinigami VF-31: Looks like the DX toy will have lot of play value especially since the VF-31 has a high-speed mode where the forward swept wings fold down: I'm really looking forward to all the VF-31 toys. With the different containers and the different head design and lots of movable parts it will look awesome. I'm super interested in how the mid-season upgrades will look like. Quote
Moosey Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Just beat me to Scyla, so the yellow -31 is an RVF-31 or is it an interchangeable mission pod setup? Quote
Scyla Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I just gave it that name because it seems fitting. Quote
Sildani Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 New Super parts. They rest on top of the wings, and might connect to the bottom hardpoints as well. The double-thruster appearance reminds me of the VF-11's. Quote
CRYO Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Just beat me to Scyla, so the yellow -31 is an RVF-31 or is it an interchangeable mission pod setup? Seems that radar can fold into the container bay, as when Reina jumps off the yellow vf31, that radome disappeared. Quote
sh9000 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Along with the Valkyries I want all of the Regults, Glaugs, Q-Raus, and Destroids in 1/60 scale. Come on Bandai make them all. Edited December 31, 2015 by sh9000 Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) The regult with the q-rau arms looked awesome. Edited December 31, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 Okay...definitely need Arad and Mirage's 31. Quote
spanner Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 The regult with the q-rau arms looked awesome. yeah that was quite interesting eh! I liked it! Quote
abbadon Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Seeing it in action got me more interested in the VF-31. Can't wait to see more of its gimmicks. Arad's Valkyrie actually looks better in the anime. Quote
spanner Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 ill get a full Squadron, no question absolutely! Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 ill get a full Squadron, no question absolutely! Me three! -b. Quote
Saburo Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) ill get a full Squadron, no question absolutely! Me three! -b. Count me in! Runs the numbers, 5 x VF-31 and 5 or 6 x SV-262. This going to be expensive (w/ multiples), but I will have them all. Edited January 1, 2016 by Saburo Quote
cinello Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I see VF-31 with RVF-31 and SV-262 with super-part and more VF-171 desert color. Quote
seti88 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 2 things missing from the toy 31 promo pics were the hidden leg compartments that stored the boomerangs, and high speed mode. I understand abt spoilers on the boomerang, tho the high speed gimmick wouldnt reveal much sub-plots. Quote

no3Ljm Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 one of each I think will do me fine! You meant one of each with different container pods. Right, Spanner? What's gonna happen if each individual 31 has different 'super/armor' parts in the future? As for me, still pass if there's no red, black, white/tan color. Quote
Scream Man Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 2 things missing from the toy 31 promo pics were the hidden leg compartments that stored the boomerangs, and high speed mode. I understand abt spoilers on the boomerang, tho the high speed gimmick wouldnt reveal much sub-plots. Also I can't see hatches for Landing Gear... Quote
recon Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 It would cool if the vf31 legs covers slide off to reveal the boomerang drones Quote
