How much did they have it going for there? It was $115, if I recall correctly. I think it is a similar to paying for it at retail price with shipping (at current shipping costs) to the US, but I could be wrong. Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 14, 2021 Posted May 14, 2021 Yeah, pretty close actually. BBTS has the kit for $99, with a low flat rate shipping. Think I got it for slightly less with my initial HLJ order, once shipping was included, but I shipped it with several other things. Quote
Shawn Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 Uh, VF-31D "Bass Masters" edition? (with a Tuna?) This is just too weird NOT to own https://www.hlj.com/v-f-g-macross-f-vf-31d-skuld-sp-aos06180 Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 ...Yeah I'll buy one... ...Even if it's Ranka rather than Sheryl Quote

It‘s MacrossF so I have to 😉 Maybe they put Sheryl in the next release. Whereas which variant is left? From the original SMS squad only Luca‘s RVF-25. But I‘d like that. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 I can't say I care for the segmented torsos Aoshima is using for it's characters with bare midriffs. I've seen it on their Atlanger and now this one and it just doesn't look "natural" the way the previous ones in one piece swimsuits or Kotobukiya's machinka bodies do. It looks like there's a second chest trying to grow in under the first one. Quote
fhrex Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Really nice looking kit. Ranka just doesn't appeal to me, though. Hopefully Sheryl won't be far behind..... Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Ok, the carrot gunpod amuses me far more than it ought to. Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 That's really not a bad VF-25, chunky legs aside, but I'm not terribly interested in the Ranka figure. Can't say it isn't a really well done likeness, but I've already got a pile of 1/100 and 1/72 VF-25 kits to build. Quote
Focslain Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 I have enough VFGs still in box... though with this and Klan Klan I might as well just hold off and wait for them to release a Mylene one and my Pathfinder character conversion will be 99% done for me. Quote

If they release a Mylene VF-11MAXL I will be all over that. Heck, I would actually crack up if they made a Basara one too, and totally buy it. Now that that image is in my head, I also can't help imagining them doing a Ray/Veffidas VF-17 duo that works like the VF-31 two-seater that had extended foot pads for two people. Quote
t040484 Posted September 21, 2021 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) So, the G in VFG can be Guy too right? I want YF-19 with Isamu, or Fire Valkyrie with Basara next. Just make sure the guys are fully clothed. I don't want to see Basara dressed with cat ear, and swimsuit. Edited September 21, 2021 by t040484 Typo Quote

Well, Basara in a fishnet tanktop is 100% canon 😛 Quote

seti88 Posted December 11, 2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Am really digging this for some strange reason...😄 Quote
Chronocidal Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 I think being technically at least partially canon as a costume from the show helps it, I decided to pick one up. The Klan 25G is an awesome kit, but the weird micro/macro Klan mish-mash is a little weird. This one at least looks like a straight-up copy of Ranka. Now come on, and give us an Armored Cathy 25S!

fhrex Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Wow! Thanks for that! I really enjoyed the video. I've been eyeing that kit ever since it's announcement. 👍 Quote

fhrex Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Work in progress. Will post more pics as I build modes. Edited February 13, 2022 by fhrex Quote
Chronocidal Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Yeah, no lie, I bought all of these to get HMR-scaled Delta valks. They're really close in scale, though I do wish the 31 variants snapped together better in fighter. Quote
fhrex Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 The fighters are sweet! I found that after fidgeting with it, the legs and wings fit perfectly. I assumed it was me and something that I did incorrectly during assembly. I will have to say, this is the most fun I've had building a kit since the Bandai Armored VF-25S. Quote

Not saying everything doesn't fit well, but there is really nothing holding the wings down to the legs in fighter mode. Which.. now that I think of it, is the same issue the Bandai VF-25 kits had. Maybe it's time to cut some slots and make some tabs for them to snap into... Quote
fhrex Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Here is my humble addition to the thread. I'm definitely not on the same level as a lot of you, but I'm really proud of how it turned out Edited February 24, 2022 by fhrex poor picture quality Quote
