I do agree that the one in the red circle could be a sprue mark, but the one in yellow circle raises my yamaphobia. *snip* The one Shawn pointed out in the beginning is the one circled in yellow.

kkx Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I missed the PO. This could have been my first macross toy. Hope there is still some way to get this without paying double the price. Anyone thinking of selling their PO? LMK. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Honestly, it looks to be oriented wrong for a stress mark. Quote
aaajin Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Canopy needs removal to make way for heatshield? Quote
tekering Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 No, canopy has simply not been attached to unpainted prototype. Fan should not jump to conclusions. Quote
locidm Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I don’t get it, Bandai is able to do perfect transformation with VF-31 and SV-262, which are much more complicated designs. Why would anyone doubt any different with the simple VF-1? Quote
Lolicon Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 It would be incredibly lame if Bandai couldn't make an integrated heat shield at this scale. Quote

vlenhoff Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 please don't tell me you have swap canopies... Quote
Duymon Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I don't think it's a removable canopy. I just think that proto they were transforming didn't have clear parts on it. It doesn't even have the landing lights for the shins installed. Quote

Matt Random Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Oh no! You have to take the canopy off to get the hands out! Not jumping to conclusions and learning not to take stuff out of context are good skills to have. Perhaps I'm interpreting the rough translation wrong, bit it seems like the author is going out of his way to say "don't panic!" Quote
Slave IV Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Not only will you not have to remove the canopy, I'm hopefully guessing that they will also add a heat shield deployable in any mode option. Quote
skullmilitia Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 This thing looks better and better, gotta say, I hope we get variants. Especially VF-1D, VE, Ostrich etc. I’ll buy em all. I love Yammy’s but there’s something sexy about the DX line. Quote

no3Ljm Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I forgot that this is MacrossWorld where members loves to criticize everytime prototypes were shown. Hahaha! Yet still buys multiples of it. Including me. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) This prototype is BULLSH!T!!! LMK when and where you cancel your PO... Edited August 3, 2018 by spacemanoeuvres Quote

dapro Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Is there any die-cast on this at all? It is called chogokin right? Quote

I'm sure it has diecast on it. I mean, how many Frontier and Delta Valks did Bandai released under their DX Chogokin line that doesn't have diecast, right? Quote
F360 Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 All the parts in black will probably be diecast , some internal stuff too. Quote
Vi-RS Posted August 4, 2018 Posted August 4, 2018 Hopefully the feet are die-cast, which makes a lot sense in Battroid mode. Quote
