Are you going to stop at the DX 1j & GBP combo after getting it or are you going to get more if your funds allow you to? You know that we’re all enablers here and we want to see your diversity of DX VF-1 valks to grow in size. I'm pretty sure he's going beyond the GBP. It's inevitable.

twich Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I would certainly want to, but time and price will tell. I am getting this as a birthday present from the wife, but ordered it myself because she can’t stand Japanese websites. Thanks everyone!

sh9000 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The pose is close due to limitations in the toy but the DX would need additional articulation in the arms for the position of the arms, shoulders, and gunpod to be exact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing with the still shot from the movie, wish it had a shoulder pivot up and down and out. fairly complicated to achieve though considering the construction around transformation I suppose..

I think the KC implemented a joint like that on the newer versions, makes you wonder if they’ll ever release a DYRL 1S in that line 🤔.

I used double-sided tape. What's funny is that I sat there for a while fiddling with it, trying to get the gunpod and the head lasers to line up with the strike cannon. But then I realized that the strike cannon actually is rotated slightly in the animation. I wish we could get strike parts with a ball-jointed cannon, that would make since practically in-universe and help with playability.

arbit Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 WIP for 1/48. But I am still sizing the fit, if anyone has the back seat dimensions that would be great! (length from console to seat, seat height, seat length, height from seat to canopy).

Chronocidal Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 One of these days I'm going to find some way to get a set of my 1/48 strike parts x-rayed, just to see if they've had all of that detail from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechuck Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I can live with a bundle, I just hope the clear packs also come with optional opaque pieces. Investing 100+ Euro on Strike Packs a couple of pieces of add-on plastic has been too absurd for me and so my VF-1S Hikaru has been naked all this time.

no3Ljm Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 3 hours ago, Chunky001 said: If they do one it would finish Vermilion Squadron. And since it against Bandai's core business principles to finish sets/squads it won't happen. Actually according to Japanese lore if Bandai finishes a set/squad the entire company will be spaghettified and sucked into an alternate dimension through a spontaneous black hole. I don't think they're ready to take that risk. Do you mean Skull Squadron since I mentioned Hikaru's VF-1A? Assuming they do release Hikaru's DX Super VF-1A, all the squadrons (Vermillion and Skull) are still not finish. For Vermillion, they haven't made Kakizaki VF-1A. For Skull, there's no Max VF-1A and Hikaru VF-1A. So Bandai is still safe to get sucked to the black hole if they released Hikaru's Super VF-1A and hold back with Max's Super VF-1A. Right?

"Milking" would imply they actually intend to make enough of these to lure buyers in. Happily, I could not give less of a crap about these parts.

Duymon Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 a lot of us who got screwed out of fast packs by NY might pick these up as an alternative to movie packs on the aftermarket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't have any Bandai DX fast packs due to NY. However if this release doesn't come with opaque parts for both sides I'll be skipping.

jenius Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Yeah, I would love for these to come with regular covers also, I was screwed by NY also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Might be a pain to match, but I suppose you could just paint over them. Won't have any tampo, but it'd be better than nothing, and you could probably get the Hasegawa decals for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it still going to be the same since they probably just replaced the whole interior with a complete mechanical detail. Keeping the blue plastic housing part intact where the insignia attaches.
