Yamato & Bandai Macross Toys

Both that 25 and 27 look a bit different than they did in the series, the 27 seems to have more blue purple on the body work. Is that an Alto armoured pack, I wonder? Looks a bit more sleek than the usual one, but where are the missiles?

I suppose they will release 1/60 versions, seeing as how they will probably require minimum tooling and a repaint.

Bandai 1/72 Movie VF-25 Model Kit

hmmm, a new fast pack??

one thing that confuses me about overdrive is that a number of their valks still show pre order info, i kinda dont know if their stuff has been released or not.

Also, is anyone picking up the low vis 1S?

yeah, so technically one wouldn't need the webshop exclusive Ozma super pack, right? :P

That depends on what you like - the armour pack and super park are both dramatically different to each other. They dont share any parts with each other whatsoever. So if you like a sleek armoured valk, get the super pack. If you like big, bulked up, heavily armoured valks, get the armoured set.

A number of valks are on pre-order status still. Any in particular?

I'm not getting a Low Vis VF-1S but it was released a few days ago.

Really after the 1/60 milia and max valks. They look pretty awesome. Especially Milia's. I think ill pick up the low visibility focker valk.

Got my VF-25F today so now my armour pack has a donor!

VF-25F standalone:







With armoured parts attached:









I actually like the armoured pack much more now than when I first got it - I suppose the colours of the VF-25G I had it on really dulled the look of the armoured pack but against the white of the VF-25F, it looks really good. Also, I've found the pack seems to fit more snug on the VF-25F even though both valkyries are essentially the same, bar the head. The valkyrie also seems more stable fitted to its "owner" and I could actually get it to stand on its own without having to pose the wing boosters outwards. Now to get the VF-25S and I'll be happy.

Very nice Fungal. Say what people will about Bandai's VF25's they are still fun toys IMO.

I'd totaly get the armoured pack for the Alto 25 if it weren't webstore exclusive and so exspensive.
