Japanese twitter was begging Hasegawa to include a bottom half for Milia but doesn't look like that's happening sadly.

With the All Japan Hobby Show coming up Hasegawa is announcing their November and December releases:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

October announcements have no new Macross, but we do have some returning kits

1/48 VF-1J/A Vermillion Squad

1/48 VF-1A Angel Birds

1/72 VF-1J/A Gerwalk

1/72 VF-0S 

1/72 VF-1S Strike Battroid
 

Battroid comes out March of 2024 for 3,800 yen and that's really not that bad of a price for it

Still no date or price

I don't think so, but Shizuoka Hobby show is only about a month away so....

The hands on the original kit are on the G runner with the gunpod. I don't really see them redoing the gunpod so chances are you'll get the old one and a new runner for the new ones.

I'm surprised it's not an either/or release of Max/Millia. That seemed like it would've been a given.

Look at it this way: If Max and Milia are separate releases that means we get TWO new piece of Tenjin Hidetaka boxart

Seriously looking forward to this art.

Shizuoka Hobby Show announcements for June and July.

Hasegawa is updating the 1/72 Battroid kit with a Milia TV version which features a new waist, head adjustments and round TV hands.

Aside from that a whole bunch of stuff coming back

Hasegawa May announcements and there's nothing new Macross. But guess what's getting a re-release?

Reactive Armor VF-0S Battroid: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/21-2/

So if you recently got the VF-1 Armored Valkyrie but have been missing the chunky "predecessor" now's your chance!

Also getting repops:

1/72 VF-0A/S with Ghost: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65777/

1/72 VF-1J Max & Milia combo: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65763/

1/72 YF-21: http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/11/

A starting point for... what?  Are you going to scratchbuild the arms and legs yourself? 🤨

That's the plan

I wished for it and they made it happen. 1/20 Ingram from PLAMAX. Same as the "nose collection" so only partial but that's enough of a starting point.

Street date is January 28th

No new Macross kits in March, but they are repopping some 1/48s

1/48 YF-19 http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/mc01/
1/48 Super VF-1 Max/Milia colors http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65827-3/
1/48 VF-1 photoetch http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65793/


But in non-Macross news, they're doing a 1/72, full action Xabungle which might be a good indication of how any future all new tooling battroids kits from them might work

I didn't see it until now but Luca's boxart is absolutely fantastic

And can we get a YF-29 and YF-30 too, please.

Hold up now, that's asking for 3 new tools and they've been kind enough to give us one new tool per year for the past little while. 😛

Needs more logos

Would be neat of them to just drop a finely details VF-27 out of nowhere.

Otherwise it's looking like gluing my Bandai kit into a static, solid brick is inevitable due to ABS joints aging. Redoing all the surface detail to cover up the gimmick gaps and oversized panel lines is not something I'm looking forward to...

Time for February announcements

MORE PODS
