What will Hasegawa do next?

The only difference from what I remember are the markings.

The Mecha Colle kits give them different color striping as well.

Bogue = pink
Kasim = orange
Hermann = gray/silver
Theo = light blue
Xao = light blue

All have different emblems, including Theo and Xao to distinguish the two.

The Hasegawa kit for the sole SV-262Ba includes emblems for both Hermann and Bogue's VFs, but only the pink striping of Bogue's machine. So... yeah, I suppose they could re-issue the kit with different decal sheets, if that's the justification they need.

[KOG Water Dragon]

It looks to me like the Hasegawa decal sheet has pink AND grey striping options?

I'd expect to see a SV-262Ba Kasim/Theo/Xao boxing later on with orange and light blue striping options.

Then the OCD among us could buy 5 SV-262Bas and build every version. (I've already got 2 copies of the current Ba kit to do Bogue and Hermann)

Oops, looks like you're right. I wasn't taking a close look.

Honestly, my favorite VF limited variants are the ones that have schemes resembling real-life squadrons. I really want to see a VF-25 (and VF-31) done in this style:

[KOG Water Dragon]

I'd love to see a VF-1 in Diamonbacks squadron markings....

In general, I'd love to see VF-1s in all the different markings of squadrons that flew the F-14 as well...

Sundowners...

Evaluators...

Tomcatters...

And etc...

I think these markings would all look great on a VF-1.

The Tomytec vf-1 gerwalk kits come with extra markings such as wolfpack and sundowners to name a few...

More pics.

 

I just want to confirm. This is a Tenjin design, yes?

 

Edit: NVM. I think I got my answer.

Any one know if that re-release of the VF-1D will include the Minmay figure?  None of the photos show it.  Any idea of when it will be re-released?

[kajnrig]

Has a re-release been announced for it? I only saw the VT-1/VE-1/VF-19 in their marketing materials.

[Duymon]

That Dorsal Decal for the 35th Anni 1J already has me trembling with fear at the amount of Micro Sol I'll need for that kit

Yeah, I saw this on Facebook the other day. Even with Google Translate, it's hard to tell if it's actually a re-release - or just a guy sharing his thoughts on the show after building his own VF-1D. Can anyone here read and infer the article?

[wmkjr]

I think it's a guy sharing his thoughts on the show and also discusses how he kit bashed the VF-1D Fighter and VF-1J Gerwalk as he couldn't get the VF-1D gerwalk. He also modified the VF-1S to make it more posable and also shortened the intakes.

OH DARN IT!!!  Thanks for translating... wishful thinking I guess.

A 1/48 YF-21 to go with 1/48 YF-19...

Agreed.

1/48 YF-21/VF-22, VF-11B/C, and VF-4

Would be awesome if they did a 1/48 Gewalk & Battroid as well but would prefer the M+ Valks first.

[Rock]

Hope for an Armored VF-25F/S (Alto or Ozma) or a YF-29 Durandal/ISAMU next year. I'd say it's a pretty good chance given 2018 is the 10th Anniversary for Frontier.

[kajnrig]

This was re-released just a couple months ago too, right? Wonder why Hasegawa's going on this spree all of a sudden... Not that I mind, of course.

EDIT:

According to my HLJ orders, it was about a year ago, so a bit longer ago than I thought, but still... keep it up, Hasegawa. Maybe some of the Ace Combat stuff next?

As I recall, the biggest issue is that they're yellow instead of gold.

Hasegawa keeps on bringing its rare birds back to production... and I can't be happier about it. Max's VF-22S from Macross 7 will be reissued next April !.

HLJ also has the VF-1D Gerwalk back in stock now. Mine's already in PW.

suggest to hasegawa what they should do

 

https://www.hasegawausa.com/suggest-a-model.html

[kajnrig]

I suggested more battroid mode kits, with the following preferences:

- YF-19
- YF-21
- VF-11B/C
- (R)VF-25F/G/S
- VF-31J/C/E/F/S/A

...followed by a VF-4G Lightning III in any mode.

[KOG Water Dragon]

VF-1D battroid?

VF-2SS?

Ditto to all of the above. Would love to be in Hasegawa's shoes, with so much to choose from. 

I want a 1/48 vf-11 and 1/48 vf-21. That way, all M+ in 1/48

Yes, Yes and more YES!!!!

Just got into EBay and found out a considerable amount of Moonshooters kits posted for sale, coming from JP !. Not too long ago there was no way to find this kit below US$100. Whether japanese vendors unofficially know this one is being re-issued in the near future, or they are just over-reacting because of the Max's VF-22S announcement.

if the 'regular' VF-22S was just re-popped, this would make sense...
