>>6651321 If you like the design, it's probably about the best you're going to get short of Bandai throwing together a DX Chogokin of it. It's a little clunky, not going tolie, but overall it's fairly impressive for what they were trying to do and at the size they're trying to do it at. The VF-2 is just one of those designs that fundamentally doesn't cooperate with an actual 3d representation.

>>6651326 That's what's making it a hard choice, I do like the design and I do like it even more run through the Obari filter.
>>6651329 I can't wait to see what bullshit price tag they attach to this.
Anonymous
>>6651336 If you can afford it, I'd say go for it. Given how in demand it seems to be you should be able to flip it pretty easily at worst. I won't lie, the legs in particular are kind of fiddly and the arms and legs just sort of lock together in fighter mode with nothing really locking them in to the body except big beefy heavy diecast joints. The SAP connection to the body is a single long tab into the backpack and then just sort of clamping over the sides, but it actually works better than you'd expect.

I would say the 0080 ANIME line might be on par with L Gaim in terms of sculpt accuracy, so a bit lower than Patlabor and Dunbine.
The Gyan looks gorgeous!
I still need more MSVs!

>>6651600 >that ANIME charm Honestly, I wasn't even happy with 0079 on that front. I didn't want them to go full-on "let's take the very worst frames possible and run with those," but I wanted the proportions a LITTLE more wonky, ya know? Something like this, that really reminds me of 0079, but a little more refined and with super articulation. The ANIME RDs are very nice, I own a few and love them, but they feel a little too "safe" and modern for me sculptwise. It feels like they were a little too afraid to push it a little further.
There are so many safe interepretations of these suits out there already, it would have been great to see this sort of thing in the modern era for once.
Anonymous

Quoted By:
>>6651692 Yeah. I'd have loved them to push them out a bit more too, I always thought the Zaku was a bit too normal and not as rounded as it appeared in the show.
I did feel the engineering choices were just as much a part of the line though.
Both of these I'm not really getting through the Alex and Zaku Kai. Hope it's just a couple of lazy releases and the good stuff comes out for the Zeta suits.

>>6651692 I felt that the Gundam and GM were a bit deviating, but everything else were pretty spot on with a few modern proportional adjustments.
With regards to the 0080 ANIME feeling odd, I think it is because every design post 0079, including Zeta, ZZ, CCA, 0080, are not too distinctively different from the 2000s interpretations.
I think we are too used to 0080 designs being represented in the late 90s modern MG style and forgot whether they could look fine being in an anime clean form.
Don't forget that 0079 First Gundam designs are the ones with the most number of "distinct" renditions, from MG, HGUC, GFF and every toyline out there. When we see things from Zeta and onwards, we don't really see too much of a distinction between different toys.
This is because, 1979 First Gundam was a completely independent style, and one of the few retro styles worthy of being well recognised and preserved.
80s lineart of Zeta, 0080 etc don't feel too different from 90s-2000s model kit lineart.
Anyway, here is a super lineart accurate 1/60 custom of the Zaku.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Metal RD and Hi-Metal R are aimed to replace the regular RD line? It seems like Tamashii just keeps shifting more to a high price, niche market strategy.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>6652287 >>6652276 The MG 2.0 was decent in that I think they made a concerted effort to keep some things smooth and rounded, but to be honest, PROPORTIONALLY it was still far too safe for me. It seems like no matter what, Bandai wants to keep a specific silhouette for the RX-78s they make in modern times.
Anonymous
>>6652419 No. Metal RD has basically been an afterthought to get more money out of an existing mold most of the time. Hi-Metal R seems mostly for transforming toys that wouldn't work as RDs, or in the case of Dougram, that they think are simply too niche to bother making more than the lead robot for. We got the Roundfacer but I'll be pretty surprised if we get anything else.

Love the shots of the armor on the prototype.

>>6652460 that the higher priced lines aren't going to replace regular RDs. There's definitely been a massive uptick in releases in the pricer lines, though. It took nearly two years after the release of the Metal Hi-Nu before we saw another Metal RD, and now it's like we've got one every other month. Ditto for the HMR line, which has exploded with releases. Though the pricer sublines won't overshadow RDs, I can see Bandai giving them more and more attention going forward. Especially with all these teases for very large scale super-detailed stuff.

I find the bigger transforming mecha toys get, the more of a total pain in the arse they are to mess around with. 1/60 is honestly about optimal for the VFs.

>>6653732 Now that I'm done freaking out and the initial overhype has subsided, it isn't as accurate as I would like. What's up with those ankles, are the joints extended or something? And the proportions look like they've been Katokified.

>>6654416 I have to disagree with Emperor. If Katoki designed is the legs would be much, MUCH skinnier and covered with nonsense panel lines. It looks very accurate to the manga all things considered.
I agree with Getter Go, but it is supposed to be the Toei version rather than the manga rendition (which is way better.) Still buying to support more Getter releases though, hopefully we get G and Shin Getter to complete the quartet
If we get Shin, I pray it's the Manga version or SvN design rather than the Armageddon one we usually get

If they do make a vf1-j dx valk, will the...entire body be painted or just plain plastic like the HMR line?

>>6655651 I own a few from all 3 lines, and they're all pretty much premium figures. As I recall, the DX have more paint than the others but not entirely painted.

>>6655651 DX Chogokins aren't entirely painted, and for a transforming toy that's really for the best otherwise you run into all sorts of issues with tolerances and paint chipping. What Arcadia and Bandai do, in lieu of painting the entire valk, is use quality, matte-finished plastic for the construction. It's really gives a nice premium feel to the valk and looks great. Bandai one-ups Arcadia's standard releases by adding a ridiculous amount of tampo printed detail to their valks as well.
Originally, Bandai used a gloss finish for their DX Chogokin valks (like with the VF-25S here; I actually feel the gloss kinda works for Frontier valks), but all their releases since the VF-19 Advance have had the nicer matte finish. Thus, the VF-1J will likely follow suit. DX Chogokins are really good toys and have all been quite reasonably priced (assuming you get it at MSRP), so as
>>6655658 said you'll probably be quite happy with it. My one concern about the potential DX VF-1J would be the price; it's going to be very large at 1/35 scale and it has working lights. The size and electronic components could make for a particularly pricey valk.
What is it about the Arcadia valks that put you off?
Anonymous
>>6655676 From what I understand, there are much better VF-1S in the market, but at the price ($60 in burger because of a markup), I think it was a fair grab. Needed to muck around with it a bit, but now the transformation is all rather smooth. Great paint job, free stand? All a good buy and it looks great on my desk.
I'll send some pics later when my break allows.
Anonymous
>>6656900 From what i see, the 1/35 back then and the one they showed yesterday are entirely different. The VF-1J from the event uses the same action base with the VF-35 valks (while the 1/35 use a different action base), has different proportion and is going to be in 1/48 scale

So got my VF-2SS today. Not entirely sure how I feel about it. Its really neat how well integrated the super parts are compared to the VF1, with its hardpoints being completely hidden when not equipped, it has quite a bit more range of motion, and its certainly beautiful looking. But fuck, it feels like almost nothing locks into place at all, and the couple pieces that actually are supposed to have shit tolerances. The forearms pop open way too easily, the cockpit canopy refuses to stay in position to completely cover the cockpit and one of the hinges on the chest has so much extra flash left coating it I worry about it stressing the piece its connected to. The VF1s feel rock solid in comparison for almost half the price.
