Duymon Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) I am legit debating on having a fire-sale of my entire backlog of unopened 1/72 VF-1s and just get one of those fighter-modes in 1/20 Edited May 14, 2018 by Duymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED WOLF Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) If this came painted like it is shown I'd pick this up in a second. Although I'm sure it would be a lot more than $400. Edited May 14, 2018 by RED WOLF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMBounty_Hunter Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Runner preview of the sitting pilot figure: https://plamax.exblog.jp/29802407/ It looks like Hikaru's face is molded on in the inside surface of the clear helmet visor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Interesting way to do pilot's face. But it means you can't do an open faced helmet. Cool nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikaru never wore a yellow helmet in the film, nor did his Valkyrie have yellow stripes... I think we'll need to correct the thread title, too.

Knight26 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Looking at the pilot figure runners, it looks like it segInsert other media ments at all the major body joints. So how long before someone adds joints to make it into a poseable figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started announcing this kit 2 years ago as Hikaru's scheme but they keep on showing promo shots in Roy's scheme.

TMBounty_Hunter Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Well, the kit comes with all 3 heads, A/J/S, and the decals for both Hikaru and Focker. The figure runner themselves are only labeled Pilot Figure and not by name, but if you look at this shot of the visor, those are some big, tall eyes. They definitely look more like Hiraku's than Focker's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 C'mon now. We're just playing. It's obvious that the head and visor looks like Hikaru's face. But it just so happen that all they show as a finished product is Roy's scheme. And I'm pretty sure Tekering knows this too. They announced it as 'Hikaru' kit. Better display it with Hikaru scheme.

tekering Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Whoah, the missiles have to be purchased separately? Sure, we know there's a precedent for it -- the Hasegawa 1:48 weapon set, for example -- but I would've hoped at least some missiles were included in the main kit...

kajnrig Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nah, that's not surprising in the least, and I'm glad they went this route. Whenever I think of the VF-1 and basically all VFs, I think of naked wings. With or without Supers and Strikes, but definitely always clean wings.

spindrift Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Have one reserved at HLJ- how big is this compared to Prime 1's statue- that one is a stunner at many times the cost of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just a more phonetically-accurate spelling of "gerwalk" (and frankly, makes about as much sense). Still better than "guardian mode!"

kajnrig Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hey, just wanted to pop in and ask: Did the fighter kit come out first, or the Gerwalk? Has one or the other (or both) not come out yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMBounty_Hunter Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Gerwalk is due to come out at the end of the month. Still no date or price on fighter kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely look more like Hiraku's than Focker's. All I have seen confirmed are stickers ( as per the HLJ ) listing -- have they mentioned waterslide decals somewhere? I can imagine some extra aftermarket waterslides might be necessary anyways depending on what they might miss but it'd be nice to have a base set of them.
