seti88 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Woohoo pics! I tot there was another pre-order going on seeing how this thread is now LIT. The eye looks a little too flat/circular compared to the headshot on the box? perhaps its the angle... Seems like the hollowness of the eye is somehow forming an obvious ring in the visor...

Doesn't look like there's any reason not to. I think it's because of the Fold Carbon something based from that twitter post. Quote しかし肩のフォールドカーボンが邪魔して、胸用のアーマーは装着できないみたいです Google Translate: However, the fold carbon of the shoulder disturbs and it seems that armor for chest can not be worn '邪魔' means hindrance by itself. So instead of 'disturbs', it meant 'hindrance'. Edited March 16, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote

Probably, it's because of the detail inside (camera eye) that's making it look flat on certain angle. Quote
seti88 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Strange how it makes the visor look flat tho...the detail must be really large and flush against the visor... Quote

The question if super parts would attach is answered! And the answer is yes except the chest piece.... I guess the width of the fold carbons are too large as we discussed before... Quote
Mommar Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I was just comparing the photos here with my Messer and the Fold Carbon bits are definitely wider. That means super and armor parts will have to be re-worked if they're going to fit. Edited March 16, 2018 by Mommar Quote

That means super and armor parts will have to be re-worked if they're going to fit. And it's not just wider. The VF-31A's Fold Carbon splits into two halves where one half lays flat on the side of the neck area whereas the regular 31's doesn't have. So even if the chest armor fits, the missile rack will not lay flat evenly on that Fold Carbon half. So yeah, Bandai will rework on that IF they decided to release Super or Armored Parts for it.

spacemanoeuvres Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 What do we think the odds are on CF super parts being released? Maybe I should track down an extra set of messer SP JIC. Quote
seti88 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 You never know, but so far every 31 valk release has a corresponding SP announced. Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Waiting on the imminent Super announcement. Unless they delay it like Mirage's set, we should see something soon. Quote

If it means creating a new small set of mold to milk existing ones, Bandai has a proven track record to do just that. Quote
WaferMouse Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Suddenly I feel guilty for being the harbinger of Big Fold Carbon. Also, despatch note from CDJ Edited March 16, 2018 by WaferMouse Quote
TrickyCustomer Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 That looks great, can't wait for mine now! Quote
Lolicon Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Is it just the lighting, or did they get rid of the glitter and give us a more transparent canopy tint? Can't wait to get mine! Quote

derex3592 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Gotta wonder how many very odd looks I'm gonna get if I roll into an Office Depot with a VF-31 in hand and start testing plastic holders out.... Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Great pics, which I was able to pickup another one. I see some starting at 28000 on yahoo auctions Would def spring for additional pod variations. Edited March 16, 2018 by spacemanoeuvres Quote
chyll2 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Gonna keep telling myself, I dont need a second one. Cant wait for @Sanity is Optional missile pod version on his copy of 31A. Quote
IXTL Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Someone managed to get the Super Parts chest piece on the Kairos. https://twitter.com/360Hide/status/974651088870588416 Quote
chyll2 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Did not have any of the supers but it might be possible to shave the underside. But at the cost they are asking, I rather wait for specific to 31A Quote

Maybe I should track down an extra set of messer SP JIC. The odds are high on Super Parts. They made them for the CF 25 as well. It’s not obvious if they’ll try it with the armor parts but I think it would make sense for them to do it. The armor is all web exclusive anyway. Edited March 16, 2018 by Mommar Quote
ArchieNov Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Messer’s super parts look horrible on the Kairos, IMO. Not sure why anyone would want to get them just for that purpose. Quote

Cant wait for @Sanity is Optional missile pod version on his copy of 31A. I suppose I ought to start priming and painting the inside now. There's a WIP over on the Workshop subforum, and the models are up on shapeways (no markup) if people want one. Quote

Can't wait to get mine! I think it was already like that on it promo pics. I rather have them glittery like the rest of the 31's. Because I really hate the glittered canopy on the 31's. Now I just need it for the 31A for consistency sake. 6 hours ago, derex3592 said: i seriously NEED those clear stands in my life for vertical fighter mode displaying!!!
