00Geass Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Not too bad! Unrelated, but can someone tell me about WAVE's VOTOMS releases? and is the Actic Gear line from Takara coming back? I JUST started buying those from Mandarake! Quote
Big s Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 I'll answer those in the votoms thread if you want to be more specific. Quote
NZEOD Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 you know the best thing with that Wave VF-4... is doesnt make the Repptu resin one irrelevant in that it looks so similar it would look fine on display next to one. Major noticable difference is the ram engine intakes are set both into the top side AND the bottom side of the centre wing sections. Quote
electric indigo Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Looks very elegant. And it comes with a stand? Quote

electric indigo Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Dengeki has additional photos; it looks super sleek. http://hobby.dengeki.com/event/264545/ Quote
Dobber Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) I really like the slight differences between this and the resin kit I built (in my signature) they look a lot alike, but with some slight differences. Displaying together they can represent different variants, i.e. a VF-4A and a VF-4G ect. I actually have another one of the resin kits all cleaned up to build and a great idea for a paint scheme (not an F-14 squadron for once, I want to paint it up like Thomas McGuire's WWII ride ) but I may just wait for this kit, as a plastic kit build will be easier then having to pin resin parts into place ect. This is McGuire's Lightning for those that don't know. I figured it would be one of those anniversary/tribute type scheme's on the Lightning III. Chris Edited September 23, 2016 by Dobber Quote
wm cheng Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Hmm, not bad, I would prefer to always error on the side of sleekness if you were to go wrong (which is what they've seem to have done here). However I think the nose is a little too needle-like - a little more VF-1 with that droop would be nice, the canopy seems a bit far back too close to the canards. Come on Hasegawa; "...your my only hope..." Quote
Thom Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 That looks incredible! Psyched all over again, and I still can't wait anymore. C'mon, fly that beauty out of the factory already! Quote
MechTech Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 I think WM Cheng is right, but it still looks good. It's been too long! - MT Quote

Milo Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Yessir, that is looking really nice! I can't wait! Quote
Salamander Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 So...is this kit dead in the water like the Monster Destroid they showed a few years back that never materialised? Or is there more recent news of it? Quote
Mazinger Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 It would be sad if there were no kit forthcoming especially since there hasn't been any HMR+VF4 related news. Quote
Big s Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Wave has always been slow when it comes to info or new releases. I wouldn't start worrying just yet. Quote
Major Tom Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 It would be a shame to waste this good prototype: http://ameblo.jp/digitamin/entry-12203549474.html Quote
Salamander Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Guess we'll have to wait for the next hobby show for more news then.... (I have the Club-M version, but that's the kind of kit that I somewhat fear building) Quote
Salamander Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 On 07/06/2016 at 4:46 PM, Mazinger said: vf4_model Hmm, 68K yen, that's definately more than $50 US. Just a late, late reply to this post, but I think that's one of the soft vinyl kits. The Club-M resin kit was 13,000 yen and looks way better than that. Quote
NZEOD Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 M-Club is easy to build, the Vinyl one... not so much. I have both and the Resin kit went together in quick time but the Repptu vinyl one is way WAY harder to get looking right and not warped. Â The Wave display piece says its coming in 2017 so wait and see I'd say. Quote
VF-1A Grunt Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 October! A little info coming out at a time. I just want to be able to pre-order a few so I can sit back and wait for them to show up. Quote

Have you ever had the chance to build this version? : Quote
Dobber Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I completely forgot about this....I hope the Wave kit is not vapor ware. Chris Quote

Dobber Posted June 17, 2017 Posted June 17, 2017 Sooo...they scraped what they had and are starting over?? Chris Quote

wm cheng Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 I love the VF-4 - its one of my all time favourites. I wouldn't mind if they started over as what I've seen didn't excite me at all - the lines and proportions just all seem a little off. Come Hasegawa, take a crack at this baby please! Quote
VF-1A Grunt Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I still remember learning about Flashback 2012 as a kid, when all that I knew up to that point was SDFM and DYRL. I was fascinated by the image of the VF-4 and hoped it would mean a whole new movie or TV series. I was disappointed to learn that it was just a short film, but I never lost my interest in the VF-4. I'm also a bit wary of the test shots of the Wave model, and while I would love to see a Hasegawa version (with lots of limited edition squadron schemes!), I'm guessing that won't happen, and we'll have to be patient with Wave.
