Duymon Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 wow it just keeps looking better though I'm probably going to use the normie balloon hands just so my armored 1J can hold its gun Quote
mark-1s Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 One thing that bothers me now that I noticed it, is the shape of the shoulder missle pod doors. They look like simple roof tops where as the old Yammie 1/48 was contoured and more detailed. The DX looks just lazy by comparison. Don't get me wrong though, everything else I really like. Edit: I didn't realize that the DX doors are actually line art accurate. Oh well. I still like the Yammie's better. Quote

borgified Posted May 11, 2021 Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) I'm not seeing purple on the DX GBP @jvmacross. Edit: Unless I'm totally not colour co-ordinated. Edited May 11, 2021 by borgified Quote

But based on references, this is how they should be. Edited May 12, 2021 by nightmareB4macross Quote

borgified Posted May 12, 2021 Posted May 12, 2021 I know that @sh9000 is going to recreate the line art with the DX 1j and GBP Full Set when he gets it in hand. Quote
CzarAlko Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 Alright guys I need some input I was late to the preorder party. Currently I have a VF-1A Max and VF-1S Roy, I also have the 1/60 VF-1J Armored (Which I have been staring at for the past couple of days) The combo is sold out everywhere, and so is the armor pack. Should I just cut my losses and wait for the next armor pack for Max or Roy since I already have the Arcadia one or should I try to find the combo (and maybe pay a premium for it) or the armor pack? Thank you guys! Quote

Thank you guys! There will definitely be units available closer to and after the release date. That has been the trend for the VF-1S Hikaru and VF-1S Roy. There is also no indication that 1A Max GBP or 1S Roy GBP will ever see the light of day. Simply a tease from Bandai with no intention to manufacture them - many examples of this behaviour in the past. For future questions of this nature, best to post it in the below thread Quote

HKBEN Posted May 13, 2021 Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Anyone know when the similar GBP for VF-1S will be released? I am looking for that! Thank you. Edited May 13, 2021 by HKBEN Quote

From @eggy99's post (two above yours): "There is also no indication that 1A Max GBP or 1S Roy GBP will ever see the light of day. Simply a tease from Bandai with no intention to manufacture them - many examples of this behaviour in the past." So that means that you have to customize the solo DX GBP Armor to match. Quote

Grey728 Posted May 17, 2021 Posted May 17, 2021 I wish they would give this and an SDF-1 the SoC DX treatment. Quote

borgified Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 The Plamax one is the size of a toddler (as one person mentioned), so this 1/35 is classified as a teenager/young adult right? Quote

borgified Posted May 18, 2021 Posted May 18, 2021 Now where in the world are you going to display this 1/35 scaled beast @HayateAltoHunter if Bandai does make it and do you have to take out a house/ building/business mortgage to make the purchase?? Quote

I don't think it's going to be that huge. A 1/35 VF-1 is probably going to be atleast 2in taller than a 1/6th HotToys figure. Compared to the tech specs I've found online the only difference between a 1/48 and 1/35 is just within 10cm+/- whether it's in Battroid or Fighter mode. Here's a photo I found online that shows the DX and a Takatoku. Use it to compare it with the 1/35. Also, if a member can afford on displaying 2 or more DX VF-1 in their cabinets, I'm pretty sure they can manage on fitting a 1/35 VF-1 as well. The only question would be now is how many VF-1's are they planning to collect in 1/35 scale? Quote

It's not going to be a break even. Hehehe. They're probably not going to make it if it's just 3. Hence the 'Display Only' on the item card. Quote
