    Original owner. Transformed once.  On display only 364 days, 23 hours and 40 minutes per year.

    That's a bummer. Truly sorry to see this.

    There's a little bit of news this episode, but we're mostly talking about that OTHER mecha franchise ^^;

    Look, everyone else is talking about Hathaway so we figured that we should too. 🙂

    Finally had a chance to watch Hathaway last night, and definitely looking forward to hearing the Speakerpodcast's discussion. Thanks guys!

    Not only a unicorn, but a prodigal son returning.
    I was in the OG Low Vis Owner's Club back in the day.  Unfortunately I had to sell it when my ex destroyed our finances.
    I found a local dealer who had two of them, worked with him before at a couple of toyshows and cons.
    Imagine my surprise when I opened it and found my mark on the inner tab.
    My baby is home.

    My intention is to use the two Defenders I ordered (which should be arriving from Japan, next week) to donate their legs and hips. I'll then start work on 3D modeling Tomahawk and Phalanx upper-halves (and unique "plant ons" for the legs) with the goal of eventually 3D printing and/or scratchbuilding the parts. It will take a considerable amount of time as I would like to have at least some of the articulation and pose-holding the Bandai figures would have had and that's harder to pull off without factory production tolerances.

    Still, having the legs already pre-made will save me a ton of effort. The "wasted" torsos and gun arms of the two Defenders will get turned into a SDF-1 "defense gun" diorama display (I recall some shots of Defender torsos and gun arms either mounted directly to the deck or with the destroids standing in "fox holes" where the legs were concealed). 

    Definitely looking forward to seeing these when completed.

    I started collecting the HMR line partly because I saw the Tomahawk (among others) on display, and Scorched Earth Toys awesome reviews of the line.

    Still hoping for future HMR Macross releases though.

    If it came down to it then I would want to have at least one Macross HMR release for 2021.

    That would help keep hope alive a bit more for sure. :)

    We might see a glimpse of a few (?) HMR that will be on display in the Tamashii Nations Show next month on November 6-8 virtually. Most likely the DX YF-29 Alto Full set and the DX VF-1s Roy and the Supers (both TV version) will be on display.

     

     

     

    Fingers crossed! :)

    Seems strange not having any pending HMR releases at the moment, even if they're not Macross related.

    As of October there have been five released this year, one of which was Macross (VF-4G Lightning III).

    It looks like there were only four released last year, two of which were Macross (VF-1D and VF-4 Lightning III).

    Here's hoping they've got some good things in store for the future.

    Thanks for all the help and info everyone! I’m a new at this hobby and don’t want to break anything trying to fix the gap so I’m just going to have to live with it. 

    Yeah, I think that's the best option.

    For what it's worth, I think the VE-1 is the only release that I've personally had an issue with.

    I know there have been other issues with folks getting two right or left leg armors, some grumbling about matching orange paint/plastic (including from me), but for the most part I think the HMR line has been fairly solid in terms of quality control.
