The black and white one looks space dandy tier.
Can't believe they're still doing matsuris, what's the memerchandising this time? boxed turds?

RIP my inbox.

No more PMs about these, please.

And its one jacket. Reversable - look inside the collar / neck of the black and white one. Its the back of the red one.

And awful. No idea why anyone wants it. The glory days when we all nerded our asses off for crappy merch are long past.

First thing I thought was, "did they make a new game"?

Ironically I was cleaning out my HD the other day and ran across a lot of matsuri photos. Simpler times... except more difficult.

My timing is amazing. Matsuri on the 29th, I land in Tokyo on the 30th. FFS.

Getting one of these and wearing it is like buying a Figma Samus Aran figure, at this point.
I guess everyone's a little bit masochist.

On a less sarcastic note, the red and black side of that jacket looks pretty amazing. Too bad it has a cheesy Colonel Longhener picture as well as his name on it.
EDIT: Oh, Longhena. I still don't understand what's his real name.

I'm with you on this... it looks bloody awful. One for the fanboys that's for sure.

Yep, gotta agree. It looks like someone puked at the Members Only factory and that happened. Not every idea is a good one.

Sumez · Post by **Sumez** » Thu Apr 20, 2017 6:34 pm

I honestly think it looks good

Bad for shmups.
Good for business.

This still of jacket is immensely popular in Japan, and starting to pick up traction here. It will sell like a mofo.

If you guys buy one and do not like it please think of the F-man.

Nor ugly jackets, apparently.

Opened a shmeet topic for the matsuri, just in case.

I think it looks good. Really good in fact, but this kind of jacket speaks to me and my weird retro sensibilities.

Sadly, it also looks really uncomfortable to wear. Like, I'd be sweating a whole danmaku of bullets in that thing.

Durandal · Post by **Durandal** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 1:57 pm

Is this a reversible jacket? It sure looks like it.

EmperorIng · Post by **EmperorIng** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 5:07 pm

It is reversible. Not that anyone would want to wear the fruity bullet-pattern + gay anime Longhena portrait side when you manly-as-FUCK leader bee on the other side.

Reversibles are lame though. I don't wanna feel the outside of my jacket on the inside.

There is no non-gay side of that jacket.

Post by **Frenetic** » Mon Apr 24, 2017 9:06 pm

the jacket is reversible so it's like you have a kakusei mode depending on your mood!!!

hope more peeps think this jacket is ugly so they don't buy it so the F-man has a better chance of scoring one

It's a Sukajan/Yokosuka Bomber style jacket. I've been collecting Sukajans for a while. Will be attempting to get this week.

Yeah, living in Japan now for the time being. At the end of the day we're all going to end up here, I guess.

It's such an obvious country.

I traded in the safety and near statistical improbability of being randomly shot for money and my child's education. Too bad Japanese cumpanies are afraid of paying people. Maybe when I don't need so much I can move back.
