    I keep hoping that Bandai will eventually release a DX VF-1S combo set with TV Super Parts and Hikaru pilot, now that they produced one in HMR. Like the GBP set, it would also give those who didn't get the original VF a chance to grab one.

    Cool pics of Max. It's great to see someone just now discovering this line. Takes me back to 2016. One thing - it looks like you have the wings attached to the wrong sides.

    I've started rewatching the first 2 seasons in preparation for number 3. Such a solid show. I prefer it over Andor (which I think tends to take itself a little too seriously).

    Ah, right. I skipped on that one, so had forgotten about it.

    Random knowledge: There are now several colors of single seat canopy for the Hi Metal R (and non-R) VF-1. From left to right: HMR VF-1J Hikaru TV HMR VF-1S Super Hikaru TV HM VF-1J Hikaru TV (not entirely sure; might be the HM VF-1A) HM VF-1S Strike HMR VF-1 (most common, many variants) Note that HMR canopies have matte finish black paint while HM canopies have glossier black paint.

    Have to agree that the price is high on the HMR. I had thought about getting one, but now not sure. I wonder if the development and mold costs on a brand new design are a factor, especially given that they can't spread out the cost over multiple repaints (though they could do an Olson version). Different from a Macross VF, where we see Bandai doing multiple liveries, even non-canon ones.

    Thanks for the color comparison. That was my big question - whether the green of the new parts matched the green of the old ones. My copy from AmiAmi is supposed to arrive today, so I'll be able to check in out in person soon.

    AmiAmi had me send payment over the weekend. Mine is en route and should arrive Friday. Missed the HLJ stock, so I picked up a second one from a random Ebay seller for a reasonable price.

    Thankfully both PS4 and Switch are not region locked, so Japanese physical should work fine. Back in the day that would have been a barrier, like with the PS2 Macross game.
  10. ScrambledValkyrie
    So would this be released for North America with the new WWD plan? Also wondering if there will be physical releases or just digital download...
  11. ScrambledValkyrie
    Then we can swap parts with the original release and make a true movie version. The sketch that @sh9000 posted above leads me to think that the box won’t have a clear window on the front this time.
  12. ScrambledValkyrie
    I think it's showing Closed when logged in because you've already ordered your limit. My guess is that it shows For Sale Soon (before coming back up) because they may be trickling the quantities in a few at a time, to avoid having servers overloaded all at once.

    I just got one at AmiAmi... https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-149648

    Is that the box art? Looks cool. Edit: Just now saw in the HMR thread that it is. Very nice!
  15. ScrambledValkyrie
    Thanks for the kind words @sh9000 Merry Macross-mas to all!

    I'll be looking to get one of these, mainly as a more TV-accurate replacement for the original HMR release. I just hope the "white" on the armor matches the white on the valkyrie, instead of the gray in those photos. Maybe Bandai will dial that in better for production, but I'm not terribly optimistic. Either way, it's great to see more HMR Macross getting made.

    Already a topic here:

    Thanks @eevli for taking the time and subbing this. I've enjoyed watching.
  19. ScrambledValkyrie
    Glad to see this getting made. Looks really impresssive, though likely too much in both size and cost for me to own.

    Those are awesome. Very cool to see the full, uncropped artwork.
  21. ScrambledValkyrie
    That artwork is stunning! I'd love to have a print of that.

    WOW! So cool to see all the new possibilities, even if it may take Bandai years to release them all. I'm in the midst of a SDFM rewatch this month, so the timing of this display is perfect. Tomahawk color looks great. I'd also rather the Q-rau be the TV version, especially with all the other TV versions shown here, but still nice to see it shown either way. I can't tell from the photo what's different about the GBP revival, aside from TV hands. The color looks lighter, but it could just be the lighting.

    Now that they've followed through on the VF-0S and VF-1S, let's hope that this is the next piece that Bandai finally delivers...

    Having owned all the original MASK toys back in the day, it’s great to see this line get revived. I went back and watched the first episode again last night. Such a cool show, especially for its time. I think if there’s one piece to have, it’s Thunderhawk - the “hero valk” of MASK. And this new design looks fantastic.
  25. ScrambledValkyrie
    Yeah, just forget the whole “bring them in warm” part and go straight to “cold.” Seriously though, I wonder if he’s even going to be doing much bounty hunting for a while, since his life was opened up to such larger causes in season 2. He’s got to reinstate himself with the clan, for one.
