Saw this on facebook.

I wonder if the tone of this movie will be like Guardians of the Galaxy.  Looks kind of like Chewbacca is with young Starlord.

Cool setup.  I’ve noticed in person that the 3.75” figures look a little smaller than older releases.  I bet they can be customized and fit better in 1/18 cars.

I’ve heard The Toys That Made Us show is good.  I need to check it out.

The only fragile part prone to breaking easily that I’ve noticed among all of the HMR releases so far are the back cannons to the Regult.  I wonder if the back cannons for the Missile Type Set are made of softer plastic.

Several reasons like keeping a set MIB, having them in different modes, customizing, etc.

Just going to throw this up here....

Finally received my Macross 35th Anniversary stamps!  No time to open them up at the moment, but will post more pics when I get a chance....

 

 

I’ve seen pics posted of the cards it comes with.  Those are also nice.  I can’t wait to get mine.

Looks interesting.  Need some new Macross to watch.

Valks look great and I can't wait to be bent over however they plan to release those Packs but those Missile Regults!!! Come on Bandai...1/60 those things and make them based on the HMR but better...please!

Yeah.  Come on Bandai.  New toys and a first 1/60 Regult toy.

I also want a Elysion toy just to have one.

The baby pod looks like it needs a little bit more black mixed in.  I’m going to put together and paint mine after painting some HMR.

Congrats @tekering.  The VF-1D VR and VF-1J Max look great together.

Looking good @sh9000!

Yeah, i don't really care how the releases come, just give them all to me! It's either stay up late and frantically hope to catch a preorder or not worry about it but pay more and right away. Personally, I'd rather deal with the stress because I hate paying up front.

Thanks.  Yep same.  Just give them all to me.

I'd say make the leg packs and the main body the same color as the Valk, like Max and Milias are.  Then you can either leave the missile booms as they are or do whatever.

Thanks.  I’ll take that into consideration.

Recent Bizzaro world disscussion inspired me to take a photo...sucky photo but whatever. My desk Valk:

 

Nice shot.

Nice! I just read the original Secret Wars again so looking forward to that Klaw figure!

Hopefully there’s one of those BOGO sales so that I can price adjust and end up getting the figures for cheaper.

Where did you find it?

At TRU yesterday.  The street date is 1/1 and they did an override at the register to sell it.

Even if there’s no ‘canon’ supers for Cavaliers, I’m sure it’s still not going to stop you for making a custom one, right?

Btw, that’s a good Cavaliers custom figure.  

Thanks.  I’ve seen Yamato versions with custom color and standard color fast packs and both look good on it.

Regarding the future Nousjadeul-Ger and Queadluun-Rau releases:  TWE or standard release.  Doesn’t matter.  Just release them.  All variants.

Yeah, I'm sure you do! It just pains me to see one of my favorites going away for something else but it makes more sense to have an even more complete collection than having two Max's. Look forward to seeing the completed work. 

Yeah instead of a Blue Spartan I might work on a HMR VF-1A Angel Birds next from a spare VF-1J Hikaru and CF VF-1A head.  It will be less work to paint.  Work still in progress for the VF-1A Cavaliers.

Are you going to do up his fast packs too?

Would they be the same color as the Valkyrie?

Got this cool set.

Max! Nooooo! 

I’ve got a spare to work with.  Good thing those parts are removable to make it easier to paint.  Too bad the forearms aren’t removable.

Packaged pics from facebook.

Working on the VF-1A Cavaliers.

This was in my feed on youtube.  I like the part where she caught the football.

The Regult Missile Type Set is also available at Loopaza for $171.99 but the shipping cost is pretty high.

That's cool but they've already delayed the Predator and Alien releases from the Coin-Op collection.  When will Dutch and Linn actually be released?

I’m not sure but I’m definitely buying Dutch and Linn.  Although I might be tempted to get the arcade Aliens and Predators as well.  Damn NECA.

Y22000!!!!!!???!!!?!?!?

Yeah they were originally 15580 JPY and available for quite some time during the preorder window.

The Regult Missile Type Sets are available again at NY.

I wonder how much screen time he’ll have in the next one.
