Yes to that. And complete includes the Zentraedi mecha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I need the VF-1D, TV Versions of Max & Kakizaki's VF-1A, and a Queadluun-Rau at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally I agree. I mainly wish they would just go ahead and release everything from SDFM or DYRL that's already been teased (VT-1, Tomahawk, etc). I don't know that they have to totally wrap up everything from the original series first, as long as they keep expanding it. Like they have with the VF-2 (and the Messer VF-1 to an extent) I could see them starting to sprinkle in valks from Plus and Frontier here and there, while still working to complete the SDFM lineup. It would fit their apparent goal of attracting fans of newer Macross series to the HMR line, as they continue to build out the "classics." But yeah, I really would like to see a VF-1D, VF-1A TV Max, etc. Not all of us have @sh9000 custom skills... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I think there's a good chance for other 2SS versions. This one has by-and-large been sold out most of the pre-order run. That seems like a positive sign. Unless they really screw up the execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locidm Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Does anybody have troubles with regult's knee joints? At least one of mine is sort of loose and not holding normal standing poses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I worried about the tightness of the regults joints from the get go. I didn’t think they were tight enough out of the box so it wouldn’t surprise me if people’s start going bad quickly..hopefully someone has a fix.

Convectuoso Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Is it just me, or is the VF-0 design more similar to the VF-2 than it is to the VF-1? Having just built a VF-0 model kit and looking at the HMR VF-2 pics, I find the arms specially similar between those two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Oh man, I had forgotten that I had the old VF-19 Hi-Metals from way back. I'm guessing the scale is more or less in-line with the newer stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) I think the biggest issue with it may have actually been the color? It had some decent ideas, despite the heavy partsforming. Part of me actually prefers the proportions of the old Hi Metal Fire Valk over the Yamato design in fighter mode, just because the different angle of the wing leading edge made the nose look a bit longer. The Yamato design blows it out of the water entirely in every other way though. Edited November 15, 2017 by Chronocidal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
