Shawn Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 So is that an all metal DX?!?? And some more pics https://hjweb.jp/article/1243752/ Quote
Shawn Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 So the VT-1 might come with 4 figures? HIkaru in Flight Suit + Minmei and Hikaru and Misa in the escape aftermath? Quote

Shawn Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 I wasn't sure if the light was playing off it, but it does look like it could be clear plastic-the wing stripe seems to be peeking through Quote

Looking closer at that scheme though, its really odd to have a mishmash of clear and colored parts. Unless, the colored parts are really painted metal, and the clear parts are just unpainted plastic placeholders. Quote

I see they did add some extra tampo.. but those pack markings don't look too gaudy or clashing, so I think I'll give them a pass.. This time Edited November 16, 2023 by Chronocidal Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 does this have the better shoulders? Quote

It also opens the door that the VE-1 (Elintseeker) is around the corner! 2024 is going to be a great year with D.Y.R.L. 40th Anniversary, They will probably also complete the Skull Squadron next year! I for myself am happy with this ONE release for 2024! Quote

I'm new to this series as well, having purchased the complete series this year, 2022 was really sad with no release at all. So already one really anticipated release already made my year. Let's see how the rest unfolds... Very hopeful 🤗 Quote

Bandai's original release and re-release timeline doesn't really help other new collectors that don't have the accessible to take a trip to Japan. Edited November 16, 2023 by Raikkonen Quote

Yes, except for the Focker and the hopefully soon to arrive (mechanic Edition) a was able to source them in Osaka. Yes since these are Japan exclusives I was glad to finally have the time to take a trip as far away from Oktoberfest as possible, so a return to Japan after almost 40 years was a nice trip. Didn't really anticipate being able to get all of these, VF-1S Focker and VF-1D would have made the trip alone, but since I was there I grabbed what I could! I'm a collector who likes a complete series, and still have all of my 1:55 Bandai rereleases from around 2000, and would have had a complete original 1982/3 release as well...😥 Quote
Guyffon Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) I saw this last week when I was in japan, at the tamashi nations in akihabara It said ships in 2023.11, was there a PO for this that we missed? Edited November 16, 2023 by Guyffon Quote

It was released this week for the lottery members, the next release is the Ostrich! It will probably have it's PO on Christmas like the VF-1D... Edited November 16, 2023 by grogall Quote
magicsp00n Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Oh man. I gotta get me that VT-1. Please, Bandai, don't make it impossible to order. Quote
jvmacross Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Nice...looking forward to the Elintseeker DX... I would have thought both the Elint and Super Ostrich would have signaled the end of the DX VF-1 line...I hope not, but looks like the remaining DX VF-1's that could be released won't be as impressive...or maybe they'll save the VE-1 for last... Quote
jvmacross Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 I would still buy an Arcadia PF VT-1 with fixed shoulders.... Quote
treatment Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 hobbywatch has some pretty clear pics of the VT-1 and YF-21: https://hobby.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1547466.html samples: Quote
505thAirborne Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Anyone else notice that the VT-1 has a TV style cockpit control stick & HUD. Quote

I was having some coffee and I just caught that & you're correct in that using some VF-1D parts would speed up a mockup display. Quote
Shawn Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Noticed the arms are on backwards (L/R), but also its a slightly new design with the circle on the inside (the gunpod mount would be center of both arms, not on the outside) Quote

The VT-1 does not really come with arm armors and/or arm accoutrements. No gunpod, either. In contrast, the VF-1D and the VE-1 do have arm attachments (gunpod and radar thingies, respectively). I guess only the old Bandai 1/55 VT-1 bizarrely came with arm armors... Edited November 16, 2023 by treatment Quote

Radioguy Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Wow. I was waiting for this. I had better starting building up my caffeine intake to be up when the Ostritch PO goes live. 21 hours ago, grogall said: Oh WOW! I actually thought it was too soon for this, Hence my comment from previous page. But very exited to finally be able to get one to replace my 1:55 Chunky Monkey my Mom gave away...😥 Um, I may have you sorted... https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/16592-155s-revisited/?do=findComment&comment=1679060 Edited November 17, 2023 by Radioguy Quote
