Hi-Metal R

[Big s]

Dougram is an odd choice. I thought they would do that in the robot spirits line instead. Anyway this is not the death of the macross line. I just was wondering if bandai is trying to get revenge somehow against fasa at this point over the old battletech thing.

?? explain please.

^^

Yeah.

This HMR-Dougram move is much more like a long overdue love letter to FASA and the BT/MW fans from Bandai...

I'm so hyped for Dougram! It makes sense to ease of the Macross, after this initial slew of releases there aren't many high demand machines left to make from SDF/DYRL (Please keep in mind most people aren't Macross obsessed and don't live on MW before bringing up your niche mecha waifu). The next releases would have to be planes from other series and if they did that they'd begin to over saturate the market and releases would start eating each others sales.

This makes me very happy, I pray we get a Scopedog soon too, maybe even a Giant Gorg!

I'm in for that Dougram. And Soltic if ever they made it too. But yeah, throw us some Scopedogs too and Giant Gorg as well. And Galient too. I really like the mechas from that show as well.

I don't know Dougram, is that 1/100 scale?

If it is then it will only be around a vf-1's chest height. But since the msrp is going to be 12,800, they will probably make it bigger to justified the price or give us tons of acessories .

[barurutor]

well, just paid for Milia at N-Y. Finally have a Max/Milia set in any scale.

[technoblue]

Okay, I'll be that guy.

FYI: treatment started the dedicated non-Macross HM-R thread over here:

Maybe it's time this thread went to the hall of the super topics.

[hachi]

I can hear my wallet breathe a sigh of relief.

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Same here.

[easnoddy]

I hope they stick to mecha and not go venturing into super-robot category. There's already SOC for that. And Robot Spirits for Gundam and Eva.

Super Robot Chogokin is the equivalent to hi metal R for robots and its quite succesful. I i dont think they will get on it with robots it will kinda predate SRC sales.

Dougram is still real mecha so I think that's fine. Scopedog should probably falls into that same category as well.

Yes please, one of each.

Oh and some battroids as well.

[sh9000]

Max and Milia are looking lovely.

[jasonmacross83]

any new images of the VF-1A box art? I wish we got the collectible packaging we had with the ones that came out in 2010

Hubiese sido estupendo que el Valkyria de Max viniese con el traje verde de soldado Zentradi robado.

Lo mismo pense yo, especialmente como es un web exclusive.

Tendría que venir con el VF-1a Max, más que con el VF-1j.

[BluprinT]

Does the vf1a come with a DYRL pilot and a SDF:M pilot too? I think I read that it had the hands and the head packeded with it, but both pilots too? I also thought you could not take the pilot out....

Yep. There's a picture back about 5-6 posts.

[BluprinT]

That's awesome, I didn't know that the pilot was removeable! I better order another

[Vi-RS]

The dyrl suit pilot does look like an adult in that cockpit comparing to the tv one.

Only a destroid will alleviate my current depression.

How confident are we in the 9/30 date for the VF-1A? I have some items in my PW that will need to ship on Tuesday and I kept crossing my fingers that the VF-1A would come out a little earlier than the last day of the month.
