KOG Water Dragon Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 They seem to have really backed off on battroids. I'd love a battroid of any type (YF-19 and YF-21 first, and then VF-11, VF-25, VF-31 later) but I don't see it happening. I actually DO hope they finish the colorful set of VF-31s they've started. But they also need to get that VF-31E and VF-31S out. And then supers. Quote

( I checked my Crystal ball ) 1/72 Battroid kits of the VF-11, YF-21,/VF-22, VF-25, VF-31, matching Armor and any VF-171's (Battroid or Fighter), However I'm sure another 25 or 31 kit with a flashy Idol paint job will be released or something VF-1 related. If the above Battroid kits get made then I'll admit to being wrong but it's not looking that way. I agree with this totally.. I’ve got a conversion battroid kit (I forget by whom) for the VF-22 fighter kit. Thanks for other enthusiasts! Here it is.. Edited March 1, 2019 by Bolt added image Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted March 3, 2019 Author Posted March 3, 2019 The Makina VF-31C is back in stock (for now) at HLJ in case anyone besides me missed it. https://hlj.com/1-72-scale-vf-31c-siegfried-makina-nakajima-color-macross-delta-the-movie-hsg65845 Quote

Very cool indeed, sadly a conversion kit wouldn't do any good for a VF-25 or 31. Quote

Bandai’s 1/72 -3 mode variable kits are having all the fun..! Quote

505thAirborne Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Guess I sort of called it when I said it would be another flashy VF-31 design vs. something useful like a 31 or 25 Battroid kit. One of these days right Hasegawa? Quote

505thAirborne Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Well they have 3 more of the flashy kits before they have to release something new. Then that gives me plenty of time to save up for something new that isn't Idol related. Quote

KOG Water Dragon Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 Well they have 3 more of the flashy kits before they have to release something new. They can do a flashy VF-31F, but it'll be hard to do flashy VF-31E or VF-31S since they haven't even done a regular kit of those versions yet... Quote
Focslain Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 They can do a flashy VF-31F, but it'll be hard to do flashy VF-31E or VF-31S since they haven't even done a regular kit of those versions yet... That or they just re-use the current molds, doing a green 31E would be a nice nod to Frontier as well. Personally I hope that Mikumo's is a 31S as I'd like the purple scheme on that one. Which would leave the the 31F for Kaname as she should have that one anyway. Quote
Duymon Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 These Walkure Valks remind me of the Hase Idolmaster planes. It's no surprise to anyone hase continues to recycle molds with new decals Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted March 13, 2019 Author Posted March 13, 2019 I rather like having fleets of VFs in different squadron and special markings, so Hasegawa's business plan is awesome to me. Quote
Bolt Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 With the exception of a few DX’s and some HMR’s , I’m all about 1/72 these days. So the more the merrier! Quote

TMBounty_Hunter Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Seems they're going through all the Walkure for the special decals. I wish they'd release those decals separately, a full set for all five Walkure. http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65850/ http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65849/ Quote

Google Translate says the text directly below the radome expand-gimmick pic says: " *We cannot store in the lower part of the plane. " interesting... So I wonder if there will be a folded radome, or not... either way, THANK YOU Hasegawa!! Now Superpacks and Armours please!! Edited April 9, 2019 by slide Quote

Liked the outcome. Now we're pending to see Arad's bird... with Superpacks on... maybe? Edited April 9, 2019 by ivorysniper Quote

kajnrig Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 I suppose it would be too much to hope that Arad's is armored...? I wouldn't care very much either way, but I would certainly enjoy the promotional pics. Quote

Bolt Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Ya.. but if you’re a 1/72 junkie with glue , putty, sand paper(and a scalpel ) Then it’s ok! Quote
Focslain Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 For those wanting the 31E, might want to wait a bit cause they'll be releasing a green ala Reina version by end of year. Quote

Coming with a Superpacked -31S might go against Hasegawa's genuine double-dipping trend though. But they already went against it with the Dual-Lil'Drakened -31F. I was surprised seeing Messer's bird being issued with the add-ons prior to its barebone form. Edited April 11, 2019 by ivorysniper Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Just wondering, is there a site to check for Hasegawa re-issues? Saw HS has the VE-11 up for reserve, so I was wondering. Quote
