I guess they need permission from HG for any TV/DYRL video releases :(
Or maybe they just forgot to turn off the geo-fencing...but suspect that is not the case

Yeah I had to use a VPN through Tokyo to watch. It's just the pics that have been posted and then the SDFM episode with GBP.

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 :)

But the arm armor splits in two so it does not need to slide off or on.....you must be thinking about that clunky 1/55 GBP armor from the olden days!! :drinks:

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

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.

Anyone trashing the Aracdia 1/60 versions? :lol:

I'm trying to get both if possible, otherwise it's the official release date. 

 

I’m gonna keep my gray google Yamato version and still pick up the DX GBP.  Gotta have both scales right?!? B))

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.

GBP looking good baybeh!:wub: 

Glad they doing a stand alone pack with replacement head. B))

Gargantuan armored gloves check! :D 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?

Wait....it can't hold the gunpod...PO cancelled!

 

But now we know what Bandai will include as exclusives to the the combo set! :rolleyes:
