Dom in the limo for the ride to your house gets expensive. I had no idea Soul Plane was a documentary on HMR shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Convectuoso 337 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 The 1/100 Metal Siren looks way smaller than the HMR VF-2s. I wonder if it's the right scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenius 1,194 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 HMR isn't really 1/100 so that's the likely culprit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sh9000 7,892 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I’m going to order the 3rd party Transfomer Kalavinka and see how it looks next to my HMR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RDX17 39 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Seems strange not having any pending HMR releases at the moment, even if they're not Macross related. As of October there have been five released this year, one of which was Macross (VF-4G Lightning III). It looks like there were only four released last year, two of which were Macross (VF-1D and VF-4 Lightning III). Here's hoping they've got some good things in store for the future.

borgified 234 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 We might see a glimpse of a few (?) HMR that will be on display in the Tamashii Nations Show next month on November 6-8 virtually. Most likely the DX YF-29 Alto Full set and the DX VF-1s Roy and the Supers (both TV version) will be on display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HardlyNever 161 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The line itself is still doing pretty well, it's just they aren't making Macross stuff right now. Hopefully, that will change in the future, but I'm glad the line still exists, even if they are making other franchise products atm. Can't get more Macross HMR if the line is completely dead.

The Superbike designations go (for the most part): -R (race) -RR (really racey) -RS (Race Support). Customer versions of the Factory/Works/Corse team superbikes -F (Factory/Works/Corse). Unobtanium.

Felix 7 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Macross Hi-Metal R might be dead, but there are a lot of fantastic Hi-Metal R bots coming from Dragonar, L-Gaim, and Votoms. Also, what looks like a neat vehicle set to go with the Dougram Hi-Metals. https://hobby.dengeki.com/event/1110285/ If you haven't picked up the non-Macross Hi-Metal line you are missing out on some of the best robot toys of the past few years. I just recently got the Bat-Shu frum L-Gaim and it is a thing of beauty. I hope we do get some holes filled in the Macross line, but just think of the amazing stuff we have gotten already.

Corrinald 30 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) That's nice to see the Dougram Hi Metal R line sort of continuing. The vehicles look good but they come with a straight up reissue of the Soltic? They should have at least changed the unit number Edit: Eh Maybe the Soltic is just there for reference and the vehicles are a set.

Ignacio Ocamica 304 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Yes, there are other great HMR lines, but it will be a crime if we don't complete the Macross Destroid line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree 100%. Also, still want Max and Kakizaki 1A's from both SDF and DYRL. Those seem like a slamdunk seeing as they already have the tooling. As a matter of fact, Those 4 VFs and the remaining 2 Destroids would make the Hi-Metal Macross line complete in my book. Well maybe Milla Power Suit and a Zentradi fighter pod..... oh oh and a fan racer..... Ugh! I just made myself sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

easnoddy 64 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The Dougram vehicle additions are cool and promising. I want that line to continue more than I do HM-R Macross. Blockhead, Ironfoot and Bigfoot are crucial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
