Wow, just wow.

For the DX VF-19 Fire Valk and follow on DX VF-19F/S, there are 2 things I hope:
1) Bandai don't use the stupid folding front landing gear from the DX VF-19 Advance / DX YF-19. Always hated that as it's fiddly to get in and out and the hinge joint gets loose after a while and collapses easily.
2) for a potential future VF-19F/S I hope Bandai manage to make the GU-15 Gunpod front end the correct size like Yamato and Arcadia did, rather than using the skinny front end from the DX VF-19 Advance / DX YF-19, which is one of my pet peeves as it never looks right to me.

Also agree. I've come to really enjoy HMR.

I frankly do not trust anyone to even try and make the MAXL. I don't think anyone has ever been able to justify the investment for a design that funky, no matter how long it's gone without an actual transforming toy of any type.
I think our best bet for a good looking VF-11MAXL is in Bandai's 1/100 scale, HG Shortcut Change line.

with this fire valk, it gives M7 fans the hope that Bandai will make the entire fire bomber DX lineup.
....or they can wait till arcadia does the 5000 and steal the design
I'm a huge Macross 7 fan, have probably watched it a dozen times since it was first released in 94. I've bought all the toys, CDs art books etc.
However, stangely I've never had a burning desire for toys of the VF-11MAXL and VF-17T Kai.
I've always been far more interested in owning toys of the VF-17D/S, VF-19F/S, VF-11C/D/Full Armor, VF-22S, Fz-109F/A,

I hope this is not vapourware. I'd definitely buy 2 or 3.
And I would hope for a VF-5000B variant, although that would require some retooling of the lower legs from Arcadia.

This is one instance where "Bandai excessive tampo printing" could look great---on Emerald Force -19F's and 19S's. They look really good with all the optional Yamato stickers on.
Agree......as long as it's just warning markings, numbers, Emerald Force squadron logo etc.
I just don't want Bandai adding random extra, never before seen stripes all over the VF, like they did with the DX YF-21.
-
Super disappointed no new HMRs announced.😭
But still excited for the DX Fire Valk.........Hopefully they will really go ahead and make it.
-
I so hope Bandai do a DX VF-19F and VF-19S so I can make Emerald Force.
I mean I've still got my old Yamato's but but they are getting a bit loose in places and I really have to baby the elbow joints as some of them have small cracks.
And the tampo printed markings on the Bandai Fire Valk look great, not too excessive like on the DX YF-19 & YF-21.
-
I've gotta say that even though I just recently bought the Arcadia VF-19 Fire Valk, as my old Yamato versions had all broken elbows, I'm actually as a huge Macross 7 fan super excited for a Bandai DX version.
Of course, as a Macross 7 fan I'd be even more excited for a Bandai DX or HMR VF-17D/S (my all time favorite VF.....Gamlin rules!), a VF-19S/F and VF-22S Max & Millia.
-
I'll buy at least two of these, but I'm more exited about potential VF-19F/S/P versions.
The VF-19F/S Blazer Valks are one of my top favorite VFs after the VF-17D/S Nightmare.

is this thing capable of high speed mode? will the wings retract?
I bloody well hope not!
It's so poorly implemented in both the Arcadia and Bandai versions of the YF-19 toy, which causes several issues.
And more importantly, the VF-19 Fire Valk, was never shown in the anime has having a high speed mode..

My personal wish list from Bandai:
HMR VF-19F/S/P.
HMR VF-17D/S/T.

HMR VF-22S Max, Millia & Gamlin.
HMR YF-19.
HMR YF-21.
HMR DYRL & TV type Q-Rau and N-Ger.
HMR Remaining Destroids 😅
DX 1/48 DYRL VF-1A Hikaru Super.
DX 1/48 VE-1 Elint Seeker.
DX 1/48 DYRL VF-1S Focker Strike Valk.

And the book is at home.😝

I've just been putting together the HG YF-21 kit the last few days. It's a really fun kit to build and really well designed. Definitely my favorite out of the HG Macross kits.
I'll be starting building the HG Gamlin VF-22S this weekend.

-
Hoping we get an announcement from Bandai soon about a DX VF-22S Max or Milia or Gamlin version.
My personal preference is for the Max VF-22S

A bit disappointed no new updates from Banda about upcoming HMR Macross releases. 😭
Was hoping for news of Macross 7 HMRs: VF-19F/S/P, VF-11MAXL, VF-11C/D, VF-17T/D/S.
And of course the remaining SDFM Destroids, as well as DYRL & TV N-Ger and Q-Rau.

I'll buy one of the upcoming Revival VF-27, as:
1) I currently don't own a Bandai DX VF-27. Can't remember why, a it's lost in the midst of time but I got rid of my previous ones years ago, either I sold them off or threw them out,
2) The new VF-27 Revival will be kept in fighter mode, which is my preferred display mode for all my VF toys (my display ratio is Fighter = 80% / Battroid = 15% / Gerwalk = 5%), so this will avoid any potential issues with Battroid and Gerwalk mode if they still exist with the new Revival version.
-
Will be getting one, as no longer have my old Tornado Parts.
Will keep it on atmospheric fighter mode, which is the mode I think looks best.

If only you would have brought your DX VT-1 to zoom around in the pic!
Lack of space unfortunately I'm our luggage unfortunately.
But damn it, I could have brought my HMR VT-1.

I've bought 4 so far.
Trying to do my bit, to make sure we get more Macross 7 HMR toys. 😅
