Cool...PO'd 2...

Something like this has been on all the major VF purveyors wish lists since Yamato released theirs....

I guess they earn some street cred back after releasing pics of those gawdy rainbow valks a few days ago....lol

[MKT]

Gotta hand it to KC for trying really hard to continue flogging this mold with cool schemes.

Is this  PO?     If so I'm gonna hit the brakes on this.   KC already has alot of  my $$ for pre-orders that they need to put out.     No more $$ until they start playing catch up..

Hmmm...I didn't even read that it says "in stock"...even better I suppose...I have to check if there is any movement on shipping....maybe they made a mistake on its current availability?

Wow that's pretty cool! and innovative two head options!? I'm really interested in buying it,  just wish it had a fast pack.

If its really a Yammie callback, it should have GBP armor.

I'm definitely leaving the helmet on on this one. I'm no liking how it looks with the helmet on but the mask off.

Her white suit material looks better than the previous one they showed.

[CoryHolmes]

Ugh, I HATE the bodysuit.

Thankfully she'll be living in her armour full-time 😁

[sh9000]

I'll leave my Dana in the box.

[MKT]

[jvmacross]

Funny how this "improvments" slide from KC makes no mention of the repositioning of the leg tabs....lol

[Zeliard]

Also the neck cover, bigger vent intake, cockpit shield

Now that KC have figured out how they want to present this figure, we still are waiting for the release. Are we supposed to undress the Dana figure to achieve each look. I don't know how good a black suit going over a white suit would stand up over time. Died or dark material has a bad habit of bleeding colour onto whatever surface it touches.

Thanks for the share.

Ok Bandai has 1/48 Scale, 1/90(100) Scale and 1/55 scale in the closet. what if KC created 1/35 DX type Scale with 100x more detail?  why not add a new more desired scale? something even more premium to directly compete with Bandai.  I would like a bigger DX type toy that includes everything in the box with no expensive add-ons .

I suspect some of us might need oxygen if not just need to sit down to truly contemplate that one. Collecting those would probably would result in divorce for some, and involuntary commitment proceedings for others.

I'm all in, of course.

That's a great idea! 🙂 maybe add in Woodland Camo and Urban Camo too.

What if they package her with the armor off?

Well you could always try and convince her it's both of yours hobby together while saying to her every time the collection gets bigger so does your heart for her . It's not just a toy collection but a symbol of your unbreakable love for her. You do it all for her 😊

Oh wow, I missed this before. Where was this image posted? When I finally get around to reviewing all these KC releases I'm going to have my work cut out for me on the 'version' side of things.

I personally had not seen it before either....I looked and they snuck it into this listing...https://www.kitzconcept.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=59

I did not go through all their current VF-1 listings but the ones I did did not include it...

As I said, the relocation of the leg tab was a major mold change from their first VF-1J/2.0 release...the fact that it is omitted from this slide says to me it was not an "improvement"...which is amusing after being told by KC that it was when I brought it up initially...

They still look good to me in Battroid and Gerwalk....the KCs are actually the only VF toys I display in either of those 2 configurations...but I normally prefer fighter mode for any VF...so I guess I can thank KC for forcing me to diversify my display choices!

[sh9000]

[jvmacross]

Does anyone have a pic of this special version Hikaru actually wearing the helmet?  In episode 4 he wraps some type of cloth around his helmet...but I can't tell if that can be done with this figure...

[jvmacross]

Someone needs to add this to the differences between Macross and Robotech....

In Macross, Max and Milia's historic marriage creates beautiful daughters....

 

In Robotech...Max and Miriya's unholy union created this abomination...

[mantisfists]

It looks like KC has been sourcing their cloth from the feminine hygiene dept.

[jvmacross]

The doomsday clock inches closer to a Kitz Concept Toy Thread 3.0....

[jenius]

Probably coinciding with a revised VF-1 mold and all new reissues of every color.

Don't think there will ever be a new mold anymore, only colour schemes. 

[jenius]

That is not the Macross way.

Only Toynami has been able to get away with that for almost 2 decades....continuing product improvements due to market competition be damned!

With that said, KitzConcept has already implemented phase one of the Toynami-style Marketing Initiative....

[Zeliard]

i can actually understand the criticism towards the quality of KC. The weight, the handling, is way below what Bandai or Arcadia can offer. But to compensate the deficiencies, the details in the valks are good.
