RDX17 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Just looking back, but it appears August 24th was the day the VE-1 Elint Seeker was announced. Coming up on three months without any new Hi-Metal release announcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Yes, it'd be nice to know for a fact it'll be better than the 1/60 VF-2SS. Edited November 9, 2017 by Sanity is Optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though there's no full underside photo of the HMR VF-2SS yet, I really think that seeing it from this angle. HMR... beats EvoToys'. Don't you guys agree?

I can share the file I made, if you like, but you'll have to print it out yourself on decal paper. I sized them to about 1/100 scale, but I don't know how big Bandai's VF-2SS will really be. The scaled down markings I took from the ET stickers look like they might still be too large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ET version has very few markings, so I added a bunch of Yamato markings. The NO STEP decals are super tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A smaller scale with 5 times the detail & accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Just a casual glance at the overall shape of the HMR version was enough to sell me on it. The 1/60 just looks like its back is broken. Also, funny how Bandai was able to hide all those expose hinges, at a little more than half the size of the Evo Toys one.

Scyla Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Hopefully the HMR VF-2SS is sucessful and Bandai releases all the variants of the Valkyrie. After that I really hope Bandai sees the potential of a DX Chogokin of the VF-2. Edited November 9, 2017 by Scyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Can’t wait for my orders of the VF-2SS. For now I have planned a custom Nexx, Max, and Milia scheme. I’ll see if I can take a pic of my Destroids this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yeah, so excited for the VF-2SS. Got two on order. Planning to keep one in fighter mode with SAP, one in Battroid mode with SAP. May have to order a third for SAP-less display in Fighter mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slide Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) So I caved and Purchased a Max/Milia HMR set........................................ Deep goes this rabbit-hole! I'm going to end up with an VE-1 [Battroid VE-1!] and a VT-1... the VF-2SS is very tempting... If they break into Macross7 or Frontier I'm gonna be in trouble.
