To be clear, the Battroid design file pics that I linked to don’t include armoured elements, but do have A, D, S, J heads, SDFM & DRYL hands, strike & super parts already designed. 

Yeah, but it also doesn’t show the VF-19. There’s still plenty of time for some surprises

 Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Just ordered a 1S to try and make into Max's 1S from DYRL, does anyone know if the Hasegawa battroid hands are compatable with this model?

I’m pretty sure they aren’t. Although I don’t doubt the movie version of the battroid kits will be coming up fairly soon since they’ve done quite a few of the tv variants already. I think that as far as major ones for the show, it would just be the M&M 1-J s and cannon fodder 1A. There’s a few that have those brief but cool showings, but I think that since they’ve done quite just released the super and strike fighters that movie battroids will be very soon

Plamax PX-11 VF-1A Super Valkyrie just released. 

Love the DYRL? artwork.

Love this one

Wow! Stunning paint job!

Outside of the painting there are some very subtle changes to the kit. 

The bicep area on the kit is tapered from top to bottom, this build is square. Plus I'd be interested to see how the hand was modified.

It's funny how when using this paint technique removing panel lines and details actually improves the impact.

Look pretty good..!

[GMK]

Some more pics, this time of parts.

Preorder is up at the usual spots 

[Big s]

some cool poses there

[GMK]

More parts. These complete the initial release material. Ideally, they’ll cover the VF-1D fighter, the Gerwalk range, & GPB1, but I’m not confident.

I don’t see why not. They’ve been pretty good at pumping these out and the armor is gonna be something a lot of people will be wanting.

This is the money shot!

Decades of various different PT toys costing hundreds and to this day none of them can pull of this dynamic pose.

I like the shoulder joint of the Playmax.  The pose looks off in the arms though.  With the exception of the shoulder placement, I've done the pose with my HMR.

Still need max/miria vf-1j in both forms.

Plamax is doing a wonderful job with Macross. I love to see that Minmay figure, but I hope they consider to include the corresponding pilot in DYRL? suite for each version.

It's close.. for the price, well worth it.
