hachi Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I can live with a red, violet, or red violet-colored VF31C. So cancel your PO now guys! Quote

This is not anywhere near pure red: <snip> Surely the Japanese fans are commenting on the color??? I never meant to say the color in the pictures is correct, I just meant that it's hard to say whether it's pink, or red, or magenta, or what. My fault for not being clear. 6 hours ago, no3Ljm said: Ok. So Gwynn just said it's just the lighting. But out of curiosity, is there any tweets or post that says what exactly the color otherwise? That's a relief, but it does beg the questions of what the color actually is, and what the hell kind of lights are they putting on it that could make it look like that if it really is purple? Quote

WaferMouse Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Anyone happen to know which pilot Reina is paired with? I'd guess Chuck, but IDK for sure. Quote
wmkjr Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Yup. They were paired together in the first episode. Quote

sh9000 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Color looks good. The 'I'm not a badass' pose. Quote
Duymon Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Gotta say the VF-31C is probably my favorite in terms of the head-unit thus far. 31F looks a tad bit alien and 31J reminds me too much of Aquarian. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 In the (presumably) professionally lot and taken photos, it still looks awfully reddish. I note that the molded plastic parts are darker and more purple than the paint---not as good a match as Bandai did for Hayate's. The plastic parts look about the right color. But there's SO much paint on the Delta valks, there's more paint than raw plastic. And since the paint is a bit off.... Quote
Duymon Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I just don't trust Bandai Photoshops ever since they killed the awesome Green canopy on the Anni 29. Let's not even get into the VF-19 tabs :/ Will still PO on Monday however. I'm a crazy completionist Quote

Zx31 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I'm a bit surprised at how many are concerned about show accuracy when it seems like nobody on this forum actually likes Delta. Quote

I haven't liked any of the shows since Plus. I found Delta almost unwatchable. Love the Kawamori designs and I follow that exclusively now. Quote
Chronocidal Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 The VFs in the show were the best part (which we never got enough of anyway :P). Having Bandai do such a lousy job color matching makes it seem that even they didn't even care enough about watching the series they sponsored. Mostly just one more disappointment on the pile if even the toys come out wrong. Extremely baffling too, since the prototype they showed last year looked fine. Macross as a franchise is gaining the odd distinction of having every major merchandising licensee seeming to lose their ability to match a color on a screen to a color on a product. Quote

I didn't mind Delta that much, but I hated 7. That wouldn't stop me from snapping up an imaginary 11MAXL or Panzerzorene figure though. I'm hoping that the colour on Mirage is just in the photos/lighting, I'd rather not have it so close to Milia's straight red, but heck I know I'm locked in this ride to the end now.

VF-Zer0S Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Seeing the 31C is really pushing my "Get one Valk per model" i got the J and have the F on pre order. These things are just so fantastic Edited March 31, 2017 by VF-Zer0S Quote
seti88 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Kawamori-san and bandai will try and make you spend on a different color, head, radome or wingtip. Quote
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) How is it that Ami Ami keeps reopening Messer preorders but HLJ does not? Edited March 31, 2017 by funkymonkeyjavajunky Quote
RocketGTR Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 So if Makina will be with Mirage's 31F. Then maybe they'll include Reina and Kaname will be included with Chuck and Arad. Finally to top it all off, they'll include Freyja and Mikumo with Chuck and Arad to go with your Hayate and Messer 31's Quote

Mirage's unique coloring was one of the few good aspects. (Plus, my flightsuit Mirage figure just arrived---and her valk should match it). Quote
