It's from Hagesawa BTW, so expect crappy weak joints with a crapload of decals. Also mentioned is a transformable Myzr Delta also from Hagesawa.

Good lord, it's about time. I thought Hasegawa would've cashed in on her a looooooooooong time ago.

Well, when the cost of making a mold is pretty pricy, you'd expect them to make those which are able to produce more than 1 variants using that mold instead of making a one-off unique mold, like Guara. I was expecting her to be last in the line, with Vox being the most likely to get milked.

OOO, vox, I'd like a vox, a single model kit that had every possable wepon loadout variant in the kit, so as to change and/or customise the VR. I'd probrably be abit more costly than the standard models, but worth it methinks...

Grys-Vok wouldn't sell because he looks all dorky. You know this is true.

Kotobukiya has already lost 3 modelers who committed suicide trying to make a working Grys-vok model with unfolding missile bays, true story :P :banana: :banana:

guarayakha: Logically that makes sense... but this is japan. Land of closet-pedophiles and mecha fans!

Well, assuming they're going after the order based off the launhpad arrangement, we might be getting a Grys-Vok/Dorkas/Specineff RNA combo next. That would pretty much place Dordray and OMG Raiden at the end though.

Guarayakha would seems a tad bit too small compared to the rest...would be great if she comes with Jagurandi conversion parts :mrgreen:

Where do ppl recommend to order from? HobbylinkJapan? Kotobukiya? Any other good places within or outside Japan?

Viper II is available for preorder at Kotobukiya tho Specineff is for HobbylinkJapan.

I ordered from hlj.com just cause I didn't know anyone else had the models for sale. The shipping is a major pain in the wallet. The Raiden model I got ended up costing $120 cause of the shipping. After I realized how expensive that was, I'm almost afraid to try and paint the thing for fear of screwing up.

I would have ordered from playasia bcos of possible cheaper shipping costs. Tho even the preorders are already presold. How do ppl manage to buy stuff before it was even available for preorder, which really confuses me. Some other hobby websites sell models upto $1XX US which is crazy.

i just got specineff model from playasia 2 days ago. And its stocks got sold fast. It opened for like less than 2 days and its all gone. Now my status says its shipping. But can it really be shipping? Even shops like HLJ still have not got the kit up for grabs yet.

buy a cheap hobbykit first and practice on that, i'd suggest a tank or something (lots of small parts). Good luck with that and upload pics when your done.


i'd definitely get a raiden, but haven't for the same reason you won't paint it.

I'll get the Raiden one. But yes... I'd like to see Grys-Vok myself too, specially if you can get him to do the jumping right trigger center weapon :O

Not sure if anyone still cares or not, but the Guarayakha models is set to come out next month after being delayed twice. Pictures of the finished kit can be seen here: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/VIR/vaa2.html (scroll down to see them).

I still hope they will produce the Myzr-Delta model of which they had to stop the development due to overshooting the development budget...
