They do have the service to print custom displays you can email them. @Saburo can i engage your services to design the panel walls and flooring? Edited September 27, 2018 by recon Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 If they do make a reasonably close lauch arm (and not like the Atmospheric Booster) I am totally in for one. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 A launch arm and base would be cool. Quote

Scyla Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I went ahead and preordered Set A and B for the 1/60 Valkyries. Hope it will get enough preorders. Good thing is that I have two naked VF-1S from Arcadia and since they don't seem to do standalone SSP sets anymore they are prime candidates for this add-on set. Do we know if the original designer for the Thunder Hummer is on board for FextHobbys endeavor? Quote

Xigfrid Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Saburo, you made an amazing work for this custom base. I totally want one now! One question though, have you tried to assemble a portion of the hanger in the detolf? Because I would absolutely try to have it permanently displayed in the detolf if it can fit somehow Quote

I can go into that later. When I got the parts I had wanted to putting the parts into a detold but haven't gotten around to doing it. I should have some time tonight to take a detolf shot for you.

Look forward to hearing your drawbacks. The one thing I noticed is since it was originally made for the HMR line, it doesn't fit well with the way a lot of my shelves are set up for bigger figures.

The one thing I noticed is since it was originally made for the HMR line, it doesn't fit well with the way a lot of my shelves are set up for bigger figures. One of the main drawbacks is the walls, since they are flat printed pieces there is no physical 3D depth to them, unlike the Kotobukiya chain bases. You can simulate depth with the printed graphic but when you view it at certain angles it won't look right. They are designed to expand to accommodate different sized figures/toys, but printed graphic has to be designed to that they will look right with different scaled figures. Hope that makes sense. 4 hours ago, Xigfrid said: Looking forward to your next photos! Just posted a new one. Edited September 29, 2018 by Saburo Quote

seti88 Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Saburo, was the display backdrop size customed to fit a detolf shelf or just so happened to fit the detolf perfectly out of the box? nice! Edited September 29, 2018 by seti88 Quote

As for the my design as a regular release, no they will not.

Slave IV Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 The sci-fi version is already available for preorder as posted earlier in this thread. I ordered a few already. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 I just realized that these display bases are apparently made of the same components as what comes with the 1/100 armor. So if you had several of the 1/100 armor sets, you could put something like that together, minus the graphics. Looks like you’d basically need to buy two of the sci-fi system sets they sell in order to have enough parts to assemble in the Detolf the way that @Saburo did. And @sh9000, that armor painted like the GBP does look cool. Quote
Arthurius Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 just thought i would put this pic here. I managed to put the armor on my VE-1. Not tight, but it works for my display. Quote

I don't know if they're simply paying an homage to the source material and/or trying to save money, but having white armor with uninspired trims looks pretty bland. While rehashing the GBP's color scheme would probably draw unwanted attention from Big West and Bandai's attorneys, there's got to be someone in Fext Hobby who can put together a brilliant color scheme for this armor.

Like the Urban Camo. I've been on the fence with these, but that would be a hard one to pass up. Quote
