Mommar Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The drones look pretty cool on their own. I'd get them and have them flying flank to the Valk instead of attaching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played Bandai, well played. That's why I was hoping that if it can be mounted on the back, I would like to get a pair since I didn't order Hayate's armor. I'm already happy with the Supers. Now I wonder if we can drill a hole to it so we can attach it to 31's Pod connectors? VF-31AX Kairos with Super Part and Ghost. Hmmm.

It's very tight and hard to snap-in the wings onto the super parts (in red). And it's very loose on the green. Keep falling while installing them. Can anyone provide any tips on how to connect the wing clips to the legs (area in red)? I am unable to connect these at all - making fighter mode with the 31AX super parts floppy and unstable. I've tried my best ti fiddle with the legs and bending them slightly at the knees (like the VF-1) but no luck. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandai somehow managed to screw up their molds between the normal 31s and the AX releases. The tabs don't fit. Only real solution is to file them down smaller until they seat properly.

MacrossJunkie Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 It's unfortunate that things haven't really seemed to improve in the two subsequent releases and that the QC issues that a range of people experience seem to vary quite a bit. Other than the wing pegs that go into the legs, which I fixed myself, everything else on my Hayate pegs in pretty well and I don't have the low hanging arm guns. My Mirage was a bit more of a mess. A part of the right wing was separated out of the box and won't stay together. The arm block that the guns are attached to won't stay pegged-in in fighter mode, The wing pegs still won't stay pegged into the legs. Probably more issues that I'm not thinking of at the moment. They need to tighten the arms more also. They can't hold up the weight of the gunpod... not that I would try to have it held in hand since the shape of the gunpod and the handle doesn't work with the design of the hands and arms and even the fixed pose hand barely works. Even then, it can't physically hold the gun straight because the gunpod and the arm would have to physically occupy the same space. Such a bad gunpod design, but not truly Bandai's fault for that.

I'm now considering on getting one (if the set comes with 2 Ghosts) and drill a hole underneath to replace the rectal thermometer in Fighter mode for both Hayate's and Mirage's 31AX.

Angesdad Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 This would mostly likely be TWE, wouldn't it? - at least it's apparent that it will not be sold as a combo set with Hayate's resale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 At 20 cm, does that make it even bigger than the QF-2200D? My impression was that the QF-2200D was big for a ghost drone, but not as big as that. I don't feel like digging mine out to measure.

Scyla Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Got my VF-31AX Bogue and Mirage units and I have to say that the QC on Mirage is the best one out of the three VF-31AX I own. It is funny that everything about the VF-31AX is worse compared to the VF-31; even the packaging is worse. Yet the one negative thing on the VF-31, the missing hinge in the fingers, to enable them to make a fist or grab the gun naturally, is still present.

It should be. The only difference between each 31AX is the head design. And by looking on the Super Parts promo pics, there's nothing that touches the head area. So you're good.
