Pic from Jason Lau on FB.. Max 1A wearing the 1J Super Packs.

 

I prefer the old 1J Blue instead of the new 1A blue...🤭 🤪

Am I the only one that thinks the top of the chest is too long front to back and really hideous?

You're not the only one. Yamato really did a great job on their YF-21.

so thats what the belly plates are for...to hide yamato's skinny legs from the side!😄

i suppose the question to ask is do you want a stylish thick battroid legs? if so, then we will have to put up with the thick front to back backpack.

If there was a mechanism to squash the backpack tight to the torso would be nice, but looking at the one-piece backpack top i dont see any such mechanism..

It should come with fast packs and pin point barrier punch effects. 
But where are our fold boosters?!

^this! doesnt look like there are any slots on the top fuselage for mounting any fold boosters...🤔

i suppose delimited mode parts were meant to make up for a lack of fold booster?

One thing I never understood is why the missile pods are in that chosen color. They look quite out of place to both the 0S & 0A colors, & reminds me of my worst yellowed white plastic toy. 

on the bright side, it cant yellow anymore??

well orange is easy to spot in an ocean...maybe when the plane crashes into the sea or they jettison the pods and want to pick them back up..

pure unadulterated speculation abt fictional aircrafts.

Bandai's Ghost sculpt is slightly different from Yamato's, in that there are tiny intake slats at both sides of the top hull, whereas Yamato's appear to be missing those. So Bandai's appears to be closer to the line art here.

Pretty surprised it is only Yen 2,000 more for the Ghost & all its associated parts, so that is somewhat positive news? 

Bad news is that Bandai looks to be (unsurprisingly) sticking strictly to the anime. It is unlikely the Ghost being given integrated landing gears when the main valk doesn't, so perusing the parts list doesn't reveal any additional plug-in gears. Tellingly, there isn't any additional sensor pod to plug to the top of nosecone for the Ghost to be displayed on its own.
There's no way to know yet, but at this stage I wouldn't be surprised if Bandai will not even make the front canards movable to switch between standalone & integrated 'Angel' mode.   

 

Edit: Pic below shows the Ghost canards on its down position, so they don't doesn't appear to be movable.

 

Nice observations on the ghost! But this is a HMR so i wouldnt expect much from a HMR add-on..🤭

besides the HMR ghost looks a bit.....purple...😁

Certainly as a exclusive, likely a Milia version to be paired with the 0S Max. 

From the prototype it definitely looks like the 0D route.

Tenjin was involved in the 0D colour fixing. I wonder if they'll call him up again for it?

Not sure on tenjin-san's involvement in every valk release, or maybe it was just for the 0D.

The 0A color is not common in macross valk-dom, like a light grey but a tinge of light blue.. i love my arcadia 0A, because its color scheme is a like a military naval color unlike other 1/60 valks. Closest maybe i can think of is the 31A, but the 31A is more a pure shade of grey...maybe there are others but i forget...

@Saburo 's pics from back in the day..

I hope bandai does have that specific production color palate in the 0A HMR...else no biggie....😅

I actually like this colour. 

They did however fix the 0D colour just before pre-order. 

exactly, thats the game..😄

and i would like the SV-51 as a next release as well....

It's hard to show off Kakizaki's girth from that distance. 🫠

Have max looking out with his sunglasses and kaki munching his steak in one hand...easter eggs...boxart doesnt need to be boring...🤣

The modex numbers on the ventral fins look backwards (again).  They'd read "113" (or IIE, really) in fighter mode...

Rather than fix it, Bandai will just issue "113" tailfins down the line...

And it's not even a mirroring thing---it looks wrong on every side of every fin.  

Bandai likes to play the 'this is just a prototype, will we fix it or wont we' game...

in addition to the 'is this the actual color for the release version' game...

What do you mean? 

Seeing as the valks on the boxart are just changes in color, maybe tenjin-san could have ‘tried’ to differentiate the pilots. 

Would be nice, but that’s life.. 😉

This is the first thing that came to my mind at the moment of seeing that 21 with fast packs:

May next year ...so preorders soon-ish?

10 minutes ago, MKT said:

There are 2 variants: QF-2200D-A & QF-2200-B. Physical looks wise, they are just different color variations. A-variant is the blue & white that was shown flying around destroying Anti-UN forces in the OVA, whilst B-variant is the grey one mainly shown attached to the VF-0 in the final episode. 

Borrowing pics of the Yamato's..

 

 I miss yamato....i now remember i used to try and hunt down the A variant...

although the B variant fits into the 0S/0A scheme better, just a sucker for that blue and light grey pattern...

lol...so many new macross products...all revealed before the live stream...

HMR M7 sound force, VF-0A w ghost, YF-21 DX, VF-1 Super Ostrich...i dont think there will be anything else in the live stream......

New wallet gifs incoming? maybe....?

ROY and his 0S...no QF2200 booster for you!! 

What the heck bandai.....

same, i hope they release the booster set as a separate pack! but i  wouldn't mind a second VF-0A either.

Get 2 0A sets and pass one ghost set to roy...

2 minutes ago, R0P3-F15H said:

as i posted in the other thread, it feels way to blue in this image? did they touch it up in post or something?

hahaha....not the blue discussion again...

Wooohooo!!!

Bit of a short downer that the prototype Kakizaki colors were better lol. 

Watch Bandai announce new HMR to be the VF-19 Kai on this coming weekend's live-stream.  

There will be a live stream tomorrow night at 2200 hrs Tokyo time.
