    The problem is not the original tease...they delivered! It's the handful, but important teases that came after.....

    Hi-Metal R

    Based on recent DX Macross release news...Is there any hope for a Macross HMR release by end of year?
  5. Macross the First.....reboot of the SDFM TV series....in MtF, the mecha is mostly the same with some modifications to things such as head units on the VF-1D and VF-1J and the "clown" hands are dropped in favor of the DYRL style hands for all VF's.... The TV style SDF-1 is also dropped and replaced with a DYRL style SDF-1, however, the Prometheus and Daedelus are still kept....thus creating a hybrid of sorts....in MtF, the VF-1S looks the same with the exception of the hands and a redesign of the cockpit canopy, which all the VF's in MtF receive...visually, Hikaru's VF-1J received the biggest makeover....
  6. The hands give it away....it's a MtF edition!
  7. Pray to all of them...
  8. Would have been nice of them to actually point out the specific magazine they are referring to....anyone know? https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s751077842
  9. Macross Cassette Index Cards by Animate planned by Movic..... Perfect for those Macross mixtapes!
  10. The Megaro Combat Sexy Gals Sticker Collection from Imai Kagaku Co., Ltd.....1-10, missing 1,2, and 6
  11. I want to say maybe 16 minimum to fit the fighters shown in the pic in that particular configuration. That amount only covers the back and side walls of the hangar 2 chainbases high with no ceiling. One chainbase is too short to look good using 1/60 or larger VF's...especially if you want to go with a battroid configuration. I have not tried it yet, but I am guessing one chainbase may be adequate for the HMR scale for fighter mode only. The nice thing about the chainbase is that it looks good "plain" due to the amount of 3D surface detail...however, they can be so much better with added details like lights, paint and decals. Look around the web for pics of some collectors' chainbase creations that have gone all-out with their hangar displays. There is also the H-Hanger from Wave, but I think it looks a little too plain without modifications like paint and decals.
  12. Bandai Hi-Compact VF-1S Hikaru Type.....17,510 JPY https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b461535907
  13. This question comes up every few years....last time was here... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/44712-hanger-diorama/?tab=comments#comment-1338784 Anyway, there wasn't much in terms of 1/60 before and the same goes now, in terms of ready made accessories and figurines. What has changed is the proliferation of 3D printing and folks offering there stuff at places like Shapeways. But they would require some painting and hobby skills. I can tell you that there is a fair amount of accessories and figures at 1/72 scale and for the most part several scale very well with the 1/60-ish Yamato, Arcadia and Bandai VF's and Mechs. Try doing a search on eBay and see what is available at 1/72 scale from the vendors mentioned in the link above. Good Luck!
  14. Been going through my storage now that I have the time and have uncovered some stuff I haven't handled in decades....found some G1 Transformers recently and now I found my stash of first issue GI Joes from the early 80's.....anyone here collect these? Several had the busted O-ring issue, but replacing the O-ring was a fairly simple process, now they feel and hold their poses as good as new! I collect only Macross these days so I probably will let these go in the For Sale thread soon. Anyway, here is what I was able to find so far.... Duke Kaboom!
  15. yeah....the VF-1J has been behind the same frame for over a decade. I literally "disturbed" it for the first time since last week. So far so good I suppose.
  16. I also have a smaller version of the original Banpresto B1 game poster in the form of a smaller desk standee.... And not sure if you have seen these from the Fabtek version.... ...and a similar one for the original Banpresto arcade game....
  17. This is really awesome....I may buy one of those t-shirts Now you need to do one using the original Banpresto artwork....
  18. I'll wait for the next Macross character wardrobe change or next new Macross character announcement...assuming, of course, there will be a next one....
  19. Maybe you can just leave him with the helmet on? Just curious...did you PO one or will you be purchasing a copy regardless of his current appearance?
  20. Always enjoy dioramas especially when they capture a particular scene or piece of art like the IMAI boxart.
  21. @Fortress_Maximus, I actually just reused the same glass frame the cel was housed in for years. As far as framing goes, I have never taken any of my cels to get "professionally" framed. I think, at least in my part of the country, most shops are reopening or have been open with "social distancing" procedures in place for over a week now.
