It's just the pics that have been posted and then the SDFM episode with GBP. Quote

jvmacross Posted April 21, 2021 Author Posted April 21, 2021 So I guess I'm in for both the stand-alone and the combo sets.....looks great!! Quote
Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 I'm telling you I'm ret-conning the GBP design and those are Armored GLOVES Those are just gigantic! Otherwise when you need to eject the armor, the hands gotta come off too because they certainly are sliding into the arms during transformation Quote

Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 For those who click the main link posted earlier in the thread, the first time you will probably be directed to the global site. Close the tab, and then click it again...works mostly on the 2nd attempt! https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000156477/ Quote

borgified Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Anyone trashing the Aracdia 1/60 versions? I'm trying to get both if possible, otherwise it's the official release date. Quote
Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 No-I'm saying trying to retract those monster hands into the ARMs of the vf-1 when transforming back to fighter would probably leave a couple dents... I hope these little missile covers can be set on securely or they will most certainly get lost..the Yamato 1/48s were notoriously loose Quote
jvmacross Posted April 22, 2021 Author Posted April 22, 2021 Bending the knee? I say we are just going to continue bending over......thanks BW for making "peace" with HG! Quote
Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 But you can now get all the Delta valks your heart desires! :P So who can do the photoshop math on the valk nose cone? It is bent/opened backwards at the 180 degree setting right? On my J, when I bend it back like that, it touches the wings, so does that mean it is open in the back? I can't imagine another 2mm of plastic fully enclosing it, but maybe/probably/for sure. Quote

jvmacross Posted April 22, 2021 Author Posted April 22, 2021 GBP stand alone set seems to be web shop exclusive..... The VF-1J Armored Valkyrie will be a general store release.....so PO madness lite first....then the real show the week after Quote
Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Wonder if the GBP armor would fit on the VF-1D ...just because why not Quote

I can't imagine another 2mm of plastic fully enclosing it, but maybe/probably/for sure. Probably it opens at the back. But I can't seem to find any seam from this angle. Comparing the two images below, I can't tell how far the cone should be bend. Quote

seti88 Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 GBP looking good baybeh! Glad they doing a stand alone pack with replacement head. Gargantuan armored gloves check! Something arcadia's reactive armor set needed... But still i wished they gave some other posed hands...no biggie... I wonder if the vf-1's gunpod can somehow be held...which it looks like the forearm armor would block it.... Curious how the bundle would look like and its pricing. No flight stand, but an armor pack this time? Quote

gulan Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 so the armor only is going to be pbandai, but the combo set will be general release? Quote

Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 They updated the main page finally! https://tamashii.jp/item_character/macross_series/ looks like the combo DX/Armor is going to be 33000 (with tax), 30000 without (if this was already posted sorry I missed it) And some more close-ups https://tamashii.jp/item/13603/ Quote
Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Ah hah! They ARE paying tribute to the old Box Art with the super size hands! Quote
Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Now they just need to release a limited edition Takani version! Quote

Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Says specifically....CAN hold a gun pod! P.O. re-enabled! Quote
Shawn Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 So you get 2x Hikaru in the combo...one with open helmet and one closed? So it is a complete VF-1J re-release Quote
