Bandai DX VF-31

[Sildani]

Honestly, that’s a nice paint scheme. I’m tempted. 

[Bahamutzyro]

That’s fire!

Bandai should have included a Walkure dress Freya pilot figure for the 31J Kai, to really complete the final episode look.

I'm starting to do some savings for its ridiculous price this December  after the event, thinking of Nippon Yassan , I think will be at least less expensive than the current Hayate.

When it becomes a regular webshop item it should definitely be cheaper than the 25-27K we're seeing for MISB 31J toys during the Tamashii order window.

[seti88]

Any  info on release dates? Might get this at AE if they stock it..

[jenius]

Just a cryptic "it will be a webshop item after the event" message...

I do really hope so , I'm still missing Hayate in my Delta Valkyries collection.

Any word on the VF-31E yet?

Just some prototype pics so far I think, but an actual ETA of release has not been announced yet.

That should have come with Mirage's 31C, as unlike flightsuit Makina, Freyja actually wore that and was present in Mirage's back seat...

[Chronocidal]

See, I'm getting the impression that not a lot of Bandai's design team actually watched the show either.

This is a picture from last year I found in google images, the gun pot below the fighter looks different , oh damn! it looks like the radar and it looks like is folded, so it will be integrated that's freaking awesome!!

I actually look for any in google images, than it took me to a facebook page Supreme Mecha - Gunplavn

[Chronocidal]

Yeah, Chuck's plane doesn't even have a gunpod, far as I'm aware.

That's still a very early prototype though, the legs and fuselage are a single solid piece.

But they have nice see-through canopies...

That would break the pattern they have of including the Walkure partner in pilot suit.

Since this is the second release of a Hayate plane, one specifically based on the final episode's version, it would be nice to have included Freya in the outfit she actually wore when she was in his plane during the episode.

I wouldnt' mind a pilot figure of Hayate with Freya (in Walkure dress) molded on his lap either, for the accuracy/fine detail sticklers like you. 

[David Hingtgen]

The "pattern" was pointless past the first release, as we never saw Kaname with Messer either   

(of course, I would have much preferred to see Walkure in flight suits than their concert gear---but it basically never happened, so I do want what DID happen on-screen, for backseat figures)

I recall this being made somewhere, but here is my practice GIF on delta obliterating wallet combination of noel's and yakdeculture gifs....

Probably more appropriate when the DX elysion gets released! oh you know its coming its just a matter of when...

Same here. It doesn't seem like there will be renewal versions of the VF-31 from what I've come across.

Oh hey guys, thanks! Afraid my Mirage hasn't shipped yet so you've got at least a week... probably 2. Feel free to keep going to my site though!

[Graham]

After unboxing my VF-31C, I broke down the next day and ordered a second one from AmiAmi, even though I can't really afford it at the moment. 

My willpower is so weak  non-existent sometimes.......hahaha

Gonna keep one in fighter mode and one in battroid mode.

It really is a pretty VF.

 

 

[Lolicon]

I ended up buying three. 

[chyll2]

still available at amiami

Best head of all the 31s in my opinion. Can't wait for mine to ship out (waiting in private warehouse to combine EMS shipping charges).

The see-through canopies will be a P-Bandai option set after all the VF-31 are released

Nah, it'll be an event-exclusive VF-31 with clear canopy.

[WaferMouse]

@no3Ljm I know it's a few pages back but thanks for posting the pics of the 31C in black SPs. That's actually exactly the look I was hoping for, looking forward to HLJ delivering my SPs now 

[RealJayDee]

Got my 31C yesterday. I have not transformed it, but it feels very nice. Plastic feels HQ, paint apps are remarkable and it feels heavier than previous macross chogokins :). I am so glad I decided to get it. It will be my only Vf 31... I wanted one to keep updated my collection, and her being the grandaughter of Max, made it an easy choice (the rest of the Delta members were so MEEEEH).

Great toy!!!!!

[Moosey]

My -31C arrived today just as I was leaving to go to work. Can't wait to get home and do some swooshing!

If I could recast or print in clear plastic, I would have made numerous copies of the 31s canopies and also a reshape of the YF-25 Prophecy
