Re: 2 new bike themed girls and Zel+Bragg repaints from WonF

I can't believe they did a Cannonball Run reference. :tsugaru:

The Vic Viper girls don't have a name yet. From the discussion on 2chan, the designer is Akitaka Mika, the creater of Galaxy Fraulein Yuna as well as mecha designer for numerous anime including some of the Gundam series and Sky Girls. The design for the Shinki Vic Viper seems to be based off the Sky Girls version.

Looking at the rough sketch on the name cards, I do notice a resemblance to his character designs. =_=

Jill Rivers? That's her name?
Yup. You can make it out in some of the slides.

As a note, the Vic Viper girls have Type Shooter across the boxes at the top. And the Cards say 'Vic Viper something Alpha' and Vic Viper something Beta'

So, I think I’m going to buy all of these. That red Maryceles is particularly stunning.
I think at this point I should just give Konami my bank card; I spend so much on their merchandise anyway.

How can any of you be surprised at a repaint being an exclusive? the only non exclusive repaints we've ever gotten were the mark2 repaints, and in their case, the originals were the exclusives. konami reserves increased stock for GLORIUS NIPPON ONRY.

is there really room for even that tho, solo? I mean, it's not like it's outside konami's pattern. the only thing "different" is that the repaints are being announced almost as fast as the originals these days.

oh, and that they're being even more under-produced and their prices being jacked up(shinkis on the whole). >.<

It's still annoying. Not everyone on this forum has access to some way to get the exclusives, myself included.

I think what rubixbox really meant was "cost of proxy plus shipping to my corner of the world makes the exclusives prohibitively expensive." :tsugaru:

Yeah, but what can we say? Their target market is Japan after all.
Still, I don't think it'd kill them to ship outside of Japan! >>; Ah well. Proxy away!
