New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
ScrambledValkyrie replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
For real. Her work in Plus and Frontier really helps contribute to those series as good as they are. And hearing the Plus tracks in 7 was nice, as well. Speaking of 7, I finally finished watching it, and I have to say that overall I enjoyed it, even with its flaws. This makes Delta the only Macross I haven’t seen, and based on the comments here, I don’t know if I’m up for it. If any new series veers back towards the approach of older installments (though preferably without the primitive tribal aspects of Dynamite and Zero), I’d be very interested. -
Thanks! Just put in my preorder. I’m no longer regretting missing the initial PO.
-
Totally agree. I think giving them some space to breathe helps you to better appreciate each one more.
-
The battroid photos above show 3 different poses for the right hand (open, fist, and gun grip) so that tells me they have to be swappable, unless Bandai is able to make them articulated, which would seem really tough at this scale.
-
However they’re packaged, along with correct missile tip colors, I mainly hope they use different colors for TV and movie super parts, like Yamato did. The Hi Metal 1/100 super parts seemed to be intended for the DYRL valks, and were molded as such, but they were closer to TV color. Not until Hi Metal R did Bandai give us the bluer movie-colored parts. I think something like the model sets that @jvmacross posted above would be ideal.

Kikan Taizen 1/6000 - SDF-1 Macross (Movie Edition)
ScrambledValkyrie replied to eXis10z's topic in Toys
I was under the impression that the WHAM was 1/5000 and the Megahouse Cosmo Fleet was about 1/6000. -
Kikan Taizen 1/6000 - SDF-1 Macross (Movie Edition)
ScrambledValkyrie replied to eXis10z's topic in Toys
They could make it a parts-former like the Megahouse. In fact, this basically looks to me like the movie version of the Megahouse SDF-1. It’s the same scale. -
Based on my experience, it’s going to take something stronger than that to remove Bandai’s tampo paint. How about 3 to display one in each mode? But seriously, I’m in the same camp. The VF-4 just looks so good in fighter, especially compared to other modes.

Kikan Taizen 1/6000 - SDF-1 Macross (Movie Edition)
ScrambledValkyrie replied to eXis10z's topic in Toys
The Megahouse SDF-1 was a TV version, so maybe this is not direct competition. -
Very cool about the new super parts. Now can we get a VF-1S to go with those?
-
I have multiples of the original Hi Metal VF-1S and VF-1A and none of them have any noticeable signs of yellowing. That said, they’re made of a different color plastic that might tend to resist (or camoflage) yellowing better than the bright white of the Hikaru VF-1J — like @jenius, I’ve definitely seen multiple examples of that one yellowing to varying amounts.

Kitz Concept Robotech Toy Line
ScrambledValkyrie replied to kajnrig's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I’ve been really curious about the 1/72 VF-1, though I didn’t order one. I’m interested to see how it turns out. Was there any kind of preview of it, perhaps a video, beyond the images on the RT site? -
So the second series of 1/100 armor is going to be more different color schemes? That’s great to know that the first series was successful enough that they would extend the line.
-
Same here. I'm also still hoping they do a VF-1S Roy TV version. I think all these additional VF-1 versions, Destroids, Zentradi, etc. that many of us are waiting for are eventually going to get made. But Bandai has shown they like to mix up the releases. So far, it's just been SDFM, DYRL, II, and now FB2012. I wonder if they're going to start to dip into designs from other series (7, Zero, etc) before they finish SDFM. I believe they know people want the classics, and it's a way to (somewhat annoyingly) keep people's attention on the line. "And oh, by the way... you'd probably like one of these while you're waiting, right?"
-
So glad to see another HMR announcement, and for such an iconic piece. I want to see what the pilot figure looks like. As far as the price, I agree it seems a little high, but this is an all-new, fairly complex mold which Bandai hasn’t yet had a chance to milk, like they have with the VF-1 from 2010. I think this (along with larger size and super parts) was why the VF-2SS was even more expensive. I guess the March 2019 release date mans we need to get ready to PO this in a week or two?
-
@dur - This is looking great! Looking forward to seeing this with the super parts mounted, and transformed to other modes.
-
Welcome to the forums. This looks amazing!
-
Nice. Is that NY's blue bubble wrap?
-
I'm fairly confident this means an HM-R VF-4 (and possibly a series of 19s like VF-19 and YF-19) is on the way, which would be sweet. Then again, maybe it will just be teased at the show. And we know how Bandai has been with teasing products in HM-R, and then waiting a while to release them... As far as the destroids, my thoughts exactly. It's my opinion that Bandai is holding out on these to keep people's attention on the line, knowing that they are the ones people still want.
-
Awesome! The only thing that keeps this photo from being perfect is the fact that Bandai hasn’t released a Tomahawk or Phalanx for @Saburo to include with the other destroids.
-
@grymg, that Devastator looks great. Those G1 reissues really bring back memories. I had the separate Constructicons, but I remember getting the gift set for the Aerialbots. Is it a WalMart exclusive? And is there something on the packaging that clarifies it’s a reissue? I’ve seen those reissues for a while but never was sure what made them different from the originals.
-
That would be fantastic! Having skipped the 1J, I'd definitely PO a 1S. I just hope they'd include both a Roy and Hikaru pilot for a TV version.
-
Just be sure you make them a slightly different shade of orange from the valk, like Bandai did on the HMR VT-1.
-
Which version will be the first to include that elusive “anime magic”?
-
Are you counting waist swivel under posability? That seems pretty major in my opinion. I don’t own any Yamato 1/48, but it appears to me that lots of small upgrades (better sculpt, larger hands, articulated head lasers, etc) can add up to make this a “major” upgrade overall.
