vlenhoff Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 This will be my 3rd ever valkyrie from HMR... If i don't miss the PO. I do have the enemy mecha, and i wish i had any of the destroyers, specially the Konig monster I guess i never was able to let go of the 1/48, so room is a thing for me, at the moment. I don't mean to sound like a broken record, and i do love everyone's collection, but man SH9000 has such an impressive HMR collection, it is breath talking. Oh, i forgot, i do have a 4th Valkyrie, if i count the VF-2SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onnasake Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Guys, I'm still a newbie when it comes to most of this stuff. Does this mean that SHF Spike from Cowboy Bebop is some kind of rare hard to order exclusive?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that SHF Spike from Cowboy Bebop is some kind of rare hard to order exclusive?? The items listed here are for general release. https://tamashii.jp/special/pickup/201904sbkv/ Meaning that the HMR VF-1D, SHF Spike, and the other two will be available for pre-order from most on-line shops. If the figure/toy is popular, pre-orders can sell out quickly, hence pre-order madness. The good news for general release items is that there is a fair chance that there will be more stock on release day if you miss the pre-order. Hope that helps!

Bolt Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Tempted by the VF-2.. I really like the scale of the HMR’s for display and stuffing into storage. Lol. The HMR VF-4 is a for sure. Always loved that design! It WAS the holy grail for a while back when Yamato produced it in 1/60. It’s still amongst my prized vaks. My evolution VF-2 on the other hand..not so loved. My Yammy VF-11c is nicer I think. Edited November 24, 2018 by Bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the HMR line started and I saw that there were Destroids and enemy mecha that go well with the Valkyries, I wanted to build a little universe. I love this line.

For those who are participating in the VF-1d pre-orders, I think that HLJ and Amiami website will still have glitches after the VF-4 pre-orders (or possibly not). Get ready in a week guys (and also @Shizuka the Cat if you're getting it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a term paper on reducing the time spent performing Poisson surface reconstruction in Microsoft's free-viewpoint video production pipeline that is due at 11:59pm on December 3rd. So, will I likely be awake during pre-order madness? You bet I will be! Will I be ordered the VF-1D? I'll likely order 2!

That's really tempting. I was really looking forward to this release until Bandai screwed up and gave us the wrong pilot. I know it's a very minor thing to be upset about but I just really can't stand Hibiki lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 At that price it'd be tempting to get a bundle and make some yellow and green versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) ¥9448 shipped, via DHL. That's pretty sweet, frankly. Better than NY's pre-order pricing of ¥10,580+shipping.

I saw the price and considered getting another, then saw that and decided I didn't like the HMR VF-2SS enough to shell out for a second one and a second pilot figure to repaint. I'll save my funds for the DX 1J next month. Still waiting for my first one. Shipping mistake on Amiami's part delayed it by a few days.

Zuel Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Slightly off topic: would any of you consider doing a matt topcoat on your HMRs? I know that with gunpla, it removes the shiny plastic look and leaves a much nicer even finish. If you have done one, can you share a pic?

mickyg Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The HMRs I own are fairly matte already. It might offer some protection but there's no shiny plastic look to cover up in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieNov Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Wow that looks great! Doesn’t even look like a 1/100 in those pics. It has the presence of a bigger scale toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the inscribed panel lines on the HMRs are too thick, and panel-lining would betray the scale... at least, using conventional paints. A very sharp 2B pencil might work, though...
