Overdrive has great coverage up...but hobbystock has a TON of pics as well...and happens to load a lot slower too:

Of interest in the hobbystock coverage is the image of Ozma's VF-25S 1/72 plamo box art. Now that's how you do some god damn box art. Fuck that is better than the digitally painted CG renders I see on MG kits. Just a few days ago it was also revealed via Hobby Japan that the head on Ozma's VF-25S will be different than the one shown here. The new head is more TV accurate and deadly looking. It looks like it can cut with it's chin.
Also worth noting is the special decal set of Ranka decals...so you can customize any 1/72 VF-25 plamo into a lovefest showing your admiration for Ranka Lee. Neat for those of you that are into that kind of thing, but I'd rather have a decal set of Klan Klan in her giant form. Or special battle weathered stickers of destruction with a red version of the bull's skull from Ozma's valk and fucking kill marks all over the god damn valkyrie. GOD DAMN IT THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. Something tells me Bandai will make special Nagase decals to decorate the valkyrie of that asshole Luca. For those who haven't watched Macross F, Luca didn't do shit. For those that have watched, and have not finished it; Luca still didn't do shit. In fact, he should have died. Why Nagase decals? A ton of fans have a hard on for her because the character designer decided to give her and Klan Klan HUGE racks. So it wouldn't surprise me. Shit if Bandai doesn't do it, don't be surprised to see fan made decals at Wonderfest. In fact...I wouldn't be surprised if someone already customized their plamo with them...
The reports from GA Graphic say that the DX toy is sturdy, and does not feel floppy at all. WHAT A FUCKING MIRACLE CONSIDERING THAT THE LAST MACROSS TOY THAT WAS EVER DESCRIBED THAT WAY WAS DESIGNED IN THE 80's. I heard today that the japanese fans want something they can play with and not fall apart. Seems like it's not just me and others that are tired of Yamato's numerous flawed designs and breakages.
