borgified Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Teased roughly at the same time as VF-25f Alto Tornado. Yes.. It’s going to be eventually done. Bera’s 27y with a possibility of Grace O’Conner’s version (maybe with the two heads?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I’d get one, just cause I like the Vf-27 a lot & it’ll be nice to have it in matte finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) I'm getting the impression that the WWM Delta launch has been a fair flop, so now they're pulling out all of the old stuff from the last series that had international demand. That makes what, seven WWM Frontier releases? The WWM VF-25, Alto's YF-29, his Super VF-25, Michael's, the Armored Ozma coming, now the Tornado and Brera? Compared with Delta, which had another rehashed Hayate, and... what else? I wouldn't even call Max's YF-29 a Delta release, since that one's unfair on two levels, being the most re-painted Frontier mold, AND a favorite character from multiple previous series.

twich Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago The one copy that I got the first time this came out came with a crumbling, broken nose cone. I would very much enjoy a New DX Chogokin VF-27 Super with matte finish! Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago You forgot Alto's 171EX Full Set @Chronocidal in which it makes a total of eight in total for the Frontier franchise. I have the 27y (1.5 version = Renewal) in storage and debating if I want to get this newer version. The VF-25 didn't catch my interest, but the VF-27 did.

Sheesh, yeah, you're right, I forgot that one on the bottom of my pile. For how popular the YF-19 seems, I wish they'd dig out some repaints for it, since they would probably sell pretty well. It's kind of hilarious to me how much weight Frontier still pulls compared with Delta. I admit though, I forget which Delta releases have actually been exported. I know we got the Hayate super bundle, but did they release his 31AX here, or is that just available from Amazon because they're re-distributing the leftovers?

Lolicon Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Delta is the worst Macross series because it was both incredibly boring and had no idea what it wanted to be. Was it supposed to be a mecha series that happened have idols in it? Or an idol series that happened to have mecha in it? I don't think even Kawamori knows (or cares because he already got a dump truck full of money from Bandai). Anyway, hope they fix the issues the "renewal" 27 had, like the improperly painted stripes around the hip armor. Though they botched the chest stripes on the revival 25 so I'm not counting on it.

Test_Pilot_2 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago In for an updated 27. Maybe this will lead us to updated monsters, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Yes! I was wishing for this. Hope they make improvements to the hips and shoulders. The last version was an upgrade over the original, but still felt a step below the VF-25 renewals. Then if they release the ghost drones as a separate add-on, that would be perfect.

Tallman Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I wish the revival version comes with 3 ghosts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRoz Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) Person I just bought a VF-27 from is breathing a huge sigh of relief right now. I bought their VF-27 and held off on their VF-25G + supers combo because with the 25F, 25G, and 25S all getting combo releases, surely the 25G was right around the corner? Never would I ever have thought an "enemy mecha" would get a release before the fourth member of the protagonist's squad. Called that completely wrong.

Chronocidal Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 4 minutes ago, jenius said: I'll buy one reluctantly... Not my favorite frontier toy. Rest assured, all of your reluctant purchases are greatly appreciated for your perspectives. I'm not sure how many of these I even have, but I'm thinking I have one of the originals, two of the re-release with the packs, and one of the green re-releases with both heads. I doubt I'll grab another, but you never know how low they might drop on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago This, I'd be happy to get one, but I'm not so sure about the Tornado pack. I already have that from the Renewal version, so Revival version is very unnecessary. AND I already have a revival version. I don't need two of the same thing. But this, I'm looking forward to.

borgified Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago I’m going to think that one improvement for the Revival 27 will be the three screws on the upper thigh assembly, have no idea out the cracked/broken nose cone and I believe that the toes are also the weakest point as well? It’s been quite a while since I watched @jenius review on the 27 and read up in the comments on the 27 on the blog page. Semi-gloss finish is a given as always.

Chronocidal Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I remember the backpack/booster in the updated version had adjustable nozzles that were limp as soggy noodles, so maybe clearcoating the entire thing will fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago That’s unexpected. I’m happy with my Grace O’Connor Renewal version, I suspect this will be a Revival Brera version. That said, I bet the matte red will POP. Wonder if I should get one to display behind my Melda Dietz figure… no, not the right franchise, but the colors I bet would match beautifully.
