    I might need to be selective with Haslab releases.

    Most stores are selling it for around 13000 to 15000 JPY but Mandarake had an unopened one listed for 8000 JPY so I ordered it.

    I think it would work if it has more of a drawn look than the usual cgi kinda look that a lot of newer stuff has. The story could use little tweaks here and there to trim the fluff and it will probably be fine.

    It would be nice if Bandai does an option set release for the three spears. I have all three MB EVAs already and would like be very happy to buy a option that has the spears. The Gaius spear is an odd choice though given it's size, shape, and weight. Even in the promo pics Unit 1 holds it awkwardly.

    The original was so firmly linked to the time it was made, hard to see a remake doing well. I hope I am wrong though.

    😄 Yeah, there was a lot to be desired with that figure. The cringe was strong with that toy, and it only grew cringier with every new review. I suspect a lot of fans bought it out of desperation, just that desire to finally own a fully transforming toy of it. I won't lie; I had my eye on it initially, but right outta the gate, there were issues, inaccuracies, niggles that weren't resolved (kinda like Bandai's YF-21, but I bought it anyway- so much for will power 😜). I did pass on the Evolution Toy VF-2 though. It just didn't come close to matching the level of quality or design that we were used to from Yamato/Arcadia or even Bandai. Admittedly, as you said, it's a challenging design to accomplish in a functional toy. The team that designed the HMR earned their kudos for making everything work as it should mechanically (other than landing gear- SMH) which means there are a lot of moving parts on this little toy. Not only did they nail the functionality, though, but the aesthetics are largely uncompromised, AND they included the SAP, with its own functional bits, as an independent piece that can snap on to the plane unlike a lot of earlier toys and models. If I have one complaint, and it's minor, it's that the HMR fixed pose hands are always a bit too large for the figures generally dwarfing the retractable hands that also come with them. They're an unfortunate bit of necessary partsforming, like the gear, if you want to take full advantage of the figure. I wish there was a happy medium where the retractable hands were just a tiny bit bigger and capable of holding the weapons. It's but a small grievance, as I'm quite impressed with all three of my HMR valks and the levels of mechanical functionality they enjoy as compared to their larger more expensive counterparts. With my available display space all but gone, I welcome these smaller alternatives to the 1/60 scaled toys and hope Bandai will continue to develop other valkyrie designs in the line.

    Such is the challenge that Hasbro and Takara face with these toys; everybody wants something different from them. A little bit of beveling on the arms or having some beveled elements fold out of them to give the turret a better shape would have been fine, but yeah, budget. I just think it looks like two different teams designed the top and bottom of that tank with different levels of realism in mind. It looks jarring to me and it beggars some better engineering. I know that the bot mode was the priority, and to that extent, they pretty much nailed it- Megs looks great. However, since they can't legally make him a gun and a tank is going to be his alt mode pretty much from now on pending changes to our laws, I have an expectation that the tank mode will look good, or at least passable as such. That turret fails. I don't hate the toy, but I sure do wish it had turned out better. I'm curious to see what third parties will cook up for this guy to address the turret issues. I can live with the fat round arms, unrealistic though they may be, if they can do something about the obvious scope and gun barrel to make it more passable as part of the turret. I think this guy turned out pretty well. On the whole, I've been pleased with these as opposed to the CW toys, both designed by Hasui-san, despite the similarities in transformation mechanics between the two sets. I think the aesthetic changes to bring these closer to the G1 toy and toon looks make them far more palatable as well as obvious improvements to the articulation. I do wish they'd made the entire crane deck spin (I very much like functionality to be preserved in my transforming toys, so it's rather disappointing when they take shortcuts, especially when the G1 toys were capable. These should be upgrades in every sense IMHO) and tampoed the warning stripes on the boom like the G1 toy. Ah, well, Toyhax will have us covered for that and a hundred other things we didn't ask for. I get the sense that Scavenger's boom deck won't rotate either, as it's not shown doing so in any pics, nor was it shown in the fanstream. The G1 toy could do it, though.
