It's actually "force", not "post".

[@tenkaminari]

I think the most impressive gimmick for this kit is that they use every parts for the transformation, no left over parts (no counting the guns left over if chosen not to hold it)

All of the Astraea's regular weapons are on this guy! The GN Flare Device is the GN Rifle, the GN Launcher Device is, well, the GN Launcher. Gunsword is the Proto GN Sword, and the shield is the Astraea's shield, but a bit more round

[@mr.jamrob4505]

Now it just needs the. HAMMER- BAZOOKA- MISSILE LAUNCHER- GN PISTOLS- And I think that's it.

[@allenusison3124]

The Mega Flare Device also is based on another of the Type F's weapons, the NGN Bazooka, which can fire rounds with no GN Particles.

The dragon mode just reminds me of the fact that we still dont have a build series custom of the danazine from age Cmon bandai it's a straight up dragon mech why u no give us dragon custom

[@madhatten00]

This is a digimon

[@yokaiju8909]

I really want one, but they're sold out. The very idea of a Dragon Gundam is awesome, and the design itself is really cool.

[@DarkROSkull013]

I come from the future( more like 9 months from now) to say we finally have a Danazine custom... On paper. It comes out on this week's episode. No word on a model kit yet, though. This is lame, I know. I just couldn't pass up the chance to try that out.

[@xvm-fzc]

There is an Eldora Danazine in the final battle, but still no announcement if it will be produced.

[@mudkitz]

Honestly, stickers aside (standard for SDs), Valkylander is probably my favourite from Re:rise so far. Cheap too, for what you get from the box

[@user-ir1xo9jp8w]

My only REALY complaint is that it's an SD. Imagine how cool the Valkylander would be if it was a full HG-turning into a dragon! But can't wait for her Avalanche armor set upgrade.

[@cacona6191]

@@cacona6191 I think a lot of people are ready for one. It's gonna be a big kit though, so they might be saving it for later in the line. From what I've been hearing and seeing, Re:Rise has been better recieved than the original, so I bet they'll make one. :)

[@bboychang2096]

When I saw valkylander in dragon mode I thought it would be a support SD Gundam then after many crying moments the SD Gundam transforms... was not expecting that

[@krika1119]

I love dragons, and I love Gunpla. This brings them together. Plus I can't help but love Valkylander's pilot from Re:Rise. His social awkwardness I pretty much relate to.

[@nerobiblios4086]

I actually kinda like the Dragon mode, it looks cute enough and really derpy too.

[@gundam8655]

I think the dragon form looks cute

[@caseykerr9983]

This is an old video, but I just picked up the Avalanche Rex Buster support parts for this kit, and it contains pieces to build the SD gundam, and the dragon as two separate mechs.

[@cashewmiranda5155]

There’s some valkylander expansion stuff coming out and I’m wondering if it makes the dragon mode taller, or more stable

[@GrieveIV]

13:00 *demonic screeching*

[@poetscotty]

It could of been a astray gundam F dragon fusion a missed opportunity

[@grindersongear759]

So while I will agree that the dragon mode it's definitely on the lower end of the spectrum but at the same time I'm kind of impressed with it because compared to the other kind of gimmicky transformation mode some of these SDs have this one is the most convincing one thawed out it actually looks like the thing it sets out to be and not just a poorly thought-out kitbash thought up by a 10 year old

[@cerberus00]

i quite like the dragon design reminds me of the dragon from gridman live action series

[@Biofan813]

Oh, we painting that.

[@soksocks]

Definitely

[@mattgreen753]

A RG or MG version of this with non-SD proportions would be incredible.

[@rokushou]

Like all transformable SDs the transformation looks so much better in the anime.

[@rafsolo]

I've been waiting for this. I've loved it since it transformed. Also, anyone else have some flashbacks to Beast Wars dragon Megatron?

[@Jirujan]

do you have any plan to review the other FORGOTTEN KIT? *cough* HG Barzam *cough* *cough* MG GM Sniper Custom *cough*

Barzam I don't have any more. GM sniper will happen at some point. Maybe

[@kurokami_shion]

I agree Mecha.They should have the visor down to make it cooler

[@totallynotmarlon]

Now that Mecha said it, I'm hoping for a "real type" ver.

[@senpie9087]

TotallyNotMarlon Well there is an upcoming Avalanche parts for this kit

[@ExiaAvalancheMkII]

A real type of it would look badass and resembles something out of Rayearth or Masoukishin

[@shinja5459]

I want a real type sooo bad.

[@rontrezbeaugard8212]

You forgot the obligatory size comparison to the Core gundam

[@seanchoy236]

I don't really see a resemblance to the Gundlander other than the chest, sword and shield... is that it?

[@gogaroc1994]

1:08 little guy? LITTLE GUY???!! THATS A GIRL

[@Jacqthepossposs]

okay, its adorable tha tthe GN flare and GN launcher look like the astraea's GN beam rifle and GN beam launcher. friggin cute as shit my god.

[@Big-Image]

I'm hoping it's upgrade could give it a real type mode, and maybe based off of the superior dragon.

[@et2neoh]

Oh man, you should totally do a face off between all the SD-former kits from build fighters and build divers they've been making lately.

[@Ruby_Coast]

13:00 excellent voice crack

[@MisterSouji]

You should have had a HG ride the dragon. Honestly other than the tail, the dragon seemed ok all things considered. I mean most transformations are "flip it over and cover the head with the shield".

[@nismo76]

I think green visor should be on since thats how it is on the type f

[@amazingstudios7889]

I find the visor gimmick in the transformation to be pretty nice

Valkyrie-Lander. You're welcome!

[@barrybend7189]

I would love for a main character to use an oddball MS like an Efreet or a mobile suit from the CCA novel Timeline like the Zorin Soul or the Dochadi DH3.

[@EXADragaon]

Why is nobody talking about the Seltsam. It's actually the coolest MS design in the whole series for me. It looks menacing and badass. The model kit is based on a model kit we didn't have before, the HG Gundam Mk-III. So basically, it's a new mold.

[@sigt4202]

You REALLY need to check out the sdcs zaku! Its one of the best sds ever!

[@fishpop]

I bought both Valkylander kits recently but only this one has arrived so far. For something released in an HG line; they could've done far better on the colour separation using plastic parts. Just cos it's an SD design doesn't mean you should be using SD engineering. Cheaper plastic and boatloads od stickers are what always puts me off getting SDs.

[@xxnike0629xx]

0:23 Well, I tend to go with the official Japanese pronunciation when you're uncertain. Its Japanese name is ヴァルキランダー (Vu ah ru ki ra n da) so that's how I would refer to this mobile suit. 1:11 I can definitely see the design influence from the GNY-001F Gundam Astraea Type F. I have the RG GNY-001F Gundam Astraea Type F and I think it'd be cool if Bandai made an MG of it too. 1:27 ガンドランダー (Gandorandah/Gundlander) is from the _Gundlander_ comic series. There's also board games called: Family Joy W - Gundlander: Revelations of Darkness Family Joy W - Gundlander: Darkness Apocalypse It's always cool to see more _Mobile Suit Gundam 00_ inspired designs. It's my favorite series. 2:46 Same here. I'm not particularly a fan of SD type of kits, but I am impressed that over the years, SDs have gotten noticeably better. I especially am impressed with the SDCS line up and (naturally) if Bandai made SDCS 00 series kits, I think I would be convinced enough to get those. 3:03 Yea. Stickers are pretty much the big issue here. Most SD releases don't have the best color separation and require a lot of stickers to color-correct. 3:22 Those aren't _GN Drives_ . The green orbs are _GN Condenser_ . The _GN Drive_ is the actual motor (for lack of a better term). As great as this looks, for the _Build_ series, I'm only buying the RGs of the main mobile suits. So for Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE, I intend to only get an RG release for: PFF-X7/M1 Mercuone Gundam PFF-X7/V2 Veetwo Gundam PFF-X7/E3 Earthree Gundam PFF-X7/M4 Marsfour Gundam ...and whatever other planetary variants they release.

It will not be an issue to you since you only care about the *BOXES* 😂 "Those aren't GN Drives . The green orbs are GN Condenser . The GN Drive is the actual motor (for lack of a better term)."

MECHA! i think that you should review the sd musha godmaru gundam its really good for an sd gundam. sure there are quite a few color correcting stickers, and you also need to do quite a bit of panel lining and filling in to get all the details, but once thats all done and taken care of, couldnt be cooler. even stock, it looks great!

[@shadowfang269]

got the SD Barbatos Lupus and honestly I put the sword in the box and left the box with my other gunpla boxes (i use them to store the extra parts)

I actually kinda hoped that Valkylander could use CS Frame like the other SD:CS...

was hoping it would too . though the torso almost looked like a sangoku setsuden kit at first but glad it wasnt.

[@archyx7466]

Not all SD kits have tons of stickers. I've got a couple of songokuden SDs in my collection and they don't have that many stickers. They are also fun little kits. I would recommend them. As I type this message, I wait on a sangoku soketsuden SD. I mean, an SD on a motorcycle bigger than itself? How could I not get it? I just had to. Also ik sdcs don't have many stickers but... Ah nvm I've droned on long enough. BTW sangokuden and sangoku soketsuden SDs sometimes have beards.

[@MahriKing14]

In the anime this design has been my favourite, and the kit doesn't really do it justice sadly v_v

[@khoreybrown4349]

So I wasn't seeing things. It does run on a GN drive. I noticed particles coming out of it during one of it's close ups while it was flying.

[@Xtank425]

Probably just me, but this is the first time I've ever seen an ab crunch on an sd kit. Also, with the forearms acting as morgana's legs and the legs acting like the tail, i somehow remember grimlock's dino form....

[@yokaiju8909]

I think we need more Gundam either with monster transformations or ones that are always shaped like monsters, á la Danavine. Imagine a lion and a scorpion that fuse into a Manticore.
