easnoddy Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Will suck if Bandai only shows the DX VF-1S Hikaru and HMR VF-4G Fokker and nothing new/unseen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GobotFool Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 You know, while I am glad they did make a VF-4 lighting as I really love the fighter design, I am honestly baffled by the fact that Bandai has never released more iconic valks like the YF-19 or YF-21 in the Hi Metal R Line. Didn't they tease as YF-21 Hi Metal R way back in 2010? Whatever happened to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They appear to be going in roughly order of appearance. Maybe the 21 will show up again at some point, we don't know. The 19 hasn't appeared again after the Firevalk and S were released in the old line (with good reason, because they were utter garbage.) The 21 is likely also not nearly as well developed as it could be today. Edited October 22, 2019 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree that Firevalk mold was pretty awful. The arms always fell off on mine. I all I can do is hope they don't try to salvage that mold to make a YF-19 and they just go for a completely new mold eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I actually never minded the old HM VF-19 mold, in fact I even slightly preferred the proportions to the Yamato VF-19 mold, since I always thought the Yamato's nose felt too short, or the leading edge extension too long. The design is actually very similar between the two as well, especially the hip mechanism. It was just everything else that was lousy about the design, from the fiddly bits like the plug-in hand covers, to the complete lack of landing gear or gunpod mount. I think with a little work, they could easily upgrade that mold to be something more enjoyable. They just need to bring it up to the standards of the other HMR releases, and I could see myself grabbing a few easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazinger Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'll be disappointed if there's no further Zentran releases. I did just order a 3D printer so if we get nothing else I'll just have to print out some STLs or, god forbid, learn how to CAD up my own.

RDX17 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Looking over the past releases, I just realized there were only two HMR Macross in 2019: the VF-4 in March followed by the VF-1D in April. Here's hoping we see a few more in addition to the VF-4G in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
