Get the disappointment out of the way at the start! Ha. Thought the same at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I assume they tried to make it the same Gray as the original Takatoku VF-1J release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 31 minutes ago, jenius said: I think I bought an extra GBP Hikaru and I still have the launch version so I already own 2 too many of this paint scheme. I don't really mind having extras of this scheme, it just opens up alternate display options. I just wish Bandai would.. you know.. They have teased exactly how many versions that we have seen nothing of since the original tease? Seriously. Just finish a line for once, Bandai. I might even forgive you for abandoning Delta if you just give me the rest of DYRL Skull Squad, M&Ms, and finally give us a brownie VF-1A.

Radioguy Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Honestly, I did think we'd get something like this before the Elint, but being a store exclusive like the 50th is a little bit of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Same---still waiting for Max and Milia. I refuse to buy any DX VF-1 before that. Doesn't need a single new part, and can re-use 90% of the tampo printing. Just need new pilot names and modex numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogall Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 So this VF-1J will cost 45,000 yen just because you get missiles and a printed stand....🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-11 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 If that's the gray we are getting i have a very bad feeling about this...kinda like Bandai will be reprinting all its VF-1 with his new grayish anime color... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Hmm how to do a re-issue but make the tiniest of changes to not call it a re-issue? On first impression, the base white looks very similar to Threezero’s weathering edition, except this doesn’t have any weathering. I do wonder why Bandai chose this shade of white..

Corrinald Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Bandai is all about saving me money with these last couple of VF-1 releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herkulease Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I hope with it coming with missiles they'll re-issue the missile pack too 🙏 They had pull out those molds. I could understand just re-releasing the VF-1J with no missiles since they already were making the 50th variant version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I think they got the gray right to mimic the Takatoku original release, but I sure as heck hope they consider selling this in BATTTROID mode, and with window cutouts We've seen they can sell this thing in battroid mode, and they can do windows, so lets make this happen Bandai!

It would be really cool if they used the old Takatoku stile packaging for this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogall Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 By the way, are we really sure that this VF-1J, November release is going to be a different shade of white? from this picture it sure looks like the regular release!? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I personally think that pic is of the orig release and not the taka gray they show in the product pics. It just seems too white to be the camera causing the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I think it's the same but with lighting or white balance issues in the promo pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froy Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) It wouldn't make any sense from Bandai (if making sense is a Bandai thing) to change from white-grey to yellowish-grey given that TV series Valkyries where bright white. Yamato V.2. TV release were white. Arcadia oddly changed the off-white from DYRL to a bright white when they released the Roy and Hikaru Strike VF-1S. Bandai also opted to make the latest TV Hi Metal R variants bright white. Edited August 28 by Froy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I don't believe it's meant to be any sort of representation of the valks from the show...it's a tip of the hat to directly to the takatoku first release vf1j and 40 years of vf1's At least that is what I think of the new color scheme.
