I’ll let you know as soon as the tomahawk comes out. It’s already been more than a few years 

About this illusive mysterious Tomahawk...

This image is the first thing I saw when opening this thread, and for a brief moment, I believed it was announced HMR SV-51... I was so excited for some seconds, and then... sunk... into... bitter... disappointment... 

I wonder how it takes them to design a HMR? A while back I came across the process of a Metel Build which is about 3 years from concept till retail.

Not surprising that the HMR VF-0 are mini-Arcadias, because they are designed by T-Rex as well as per scan info. It's rare Bandai acknowledges the designers.

And all this time, I thought Bandai just brought a couple of Arcadia's, scanned them, and then let the CAD specialists do the tweaks 🤣

Now that we Shin's 0A ready for PO, I'm definitely on board for some SV-51's... my VF-0's need something to shoot at! 

Finally, someone else!!! I like this guy!!!

Optical illusion. The only way to check everything is when viewed in straight view.  

Or just view next to the HG that is closer the lineart... oh wait... that will make it worse 😝

The nose cone/cockpit is quite long in battroid yet quite short in plane mode...

Do we know the PO and launch dates already?

Until it's listed on the Bandai site with the PO date, nothing.

as Bandai loves to drain our wallets even more for extra stuff. 

They're recent lottery scheme disagrees. If they want more money, then stop the limited exclusivity and just mass release it. 

Looks robust overall.

I'm happy with the colour. 

We need the new blu-ray to sell well so more HMR can be lined up... 

These guys need a couple SV-51 CF to chase around the shelves.

^ This makes me a sad panda

Who knows... maybe with the upcoming Blu-ray releases to hopefully getting international release and with the new series, it might ignite enough interest for Bandai to revisit it's stored prototyes...

The M0 line seems to have beefed up rather quickly...I wonder if Bandai will be the first to finally release a VF-0 "CF" version...Arcadia seems to have given up on it or maybe just cannot anymore...

Definitely see it as a Tamashii exclusive though...

 but I would love the SDFM Tomahawk, Phalanx, and Regult Scout first.

As they stopped being displayed this year, then they're likely off Bandai's schedule. (For now?)

Seen it happen many times with their figuarts, especially with their Star Wars when I was in it.

I still love this game.

It's cause of this game I started to go to arcades after school.

Bandai says if you didn't buy the YF-19 full set pack then F U.

I wonder if the Bandai employees wear shirts and caps with the logo F U?

But where are our fold boosters?!

Hmmm... if the fast packs are included, surely this is also a given (everywhere else outside Bandai's HQ) ?

I was hopping for Bandai to at less throw the white notched tanks for the VF-0S.

Then Bandai doesn't make extra money from you off an eventual ultra limited Tamashii lottery exclusive Ghost pack... or from a re-issued 0S with Ghost. 

16 minutes ago, Froy said:

Now I wondering if we are going to get a VF-0S reactive armor combo or a Ghost Booster combo, there is no way Bandai is doing both, rigth?

I stand firm to the belief: Reactive amour with 0S. And Ghost bundle on it's own with Focker adaptors to also compensate the 0S Max re-colour which came with the adaptors. 

But expecting a SV-51 in between. 

I also believe any future Zero plans will ride a lot on the new Blu Ray sales to hopefully a international release.

@Raikkonen When I look back at some of my posts it may seem I'm a bit of a debbie downer picking stuff apart, but that's far from my intention. A few are just little personal picks but I don't mean to spoil anyone's enjoyment. It's great you are getting a fleet of them after wishing for this exact bundle. I'll be eventually getting multiples too. 

You didn't at all. Your points are valid. And you're right, the Ghost should have had at least landing gear and interchangeable canards. Myself, I'm still unhappy about the 0D finicky transformation and wing hinges, but I still love it and still considering another one. I'll probably end up with a army of 0D and 0A... 

I'm still on the fence about the 0S... the translucent plastic with potential yellowing is a bit of a deal breaker for me... unless I can snag it for like 50 or so, but if a reactive armour comes along, too hard to resist.

I’m just waiting for Bandai to drop the preorder date. 

I'm waiting for this thread to erupt once it lands on doorsteps.

Lolicon is just being facetious, but I couldn't begin to tell you how many times Japanese students have told me "The traffic signal is blue." 🙄

Funny you say this. I had a debate with my daughter about this recently... she believes blue, while I say green... but after a closer observation, she's actually right...

The VF-X has the perfect shade of grey with regards to looking like a real world aircraft. Now that's a variant I would like to see as an HMR. It wouldn't even need to transform. 

I'm onboard. I would love for same non-transformable cheaper Valks already built up. 

@MKT @sh9000 - I'll be honest, regardless of the Ghost's limitations... I don't care after seeing these pics... I want a fleet of it!!! And I actually like the pods in that sand yellow, reminds me of retro sci-fi toys. I want a fleet of it!!! PS, thanks for the pics to both of you!!!

Yamato ONCE AGAIN wins the day over Bandai, OVER ten years ago....

Makes you wonder. It's not difficult in getting a single tone right these days... especially with colour scanners and all sorts of wonderful machines that recreate the scanned colour in either paint or plastic form...

It's Moscato's 1/72 Queadluun Rau. A work of art.

That indeed it is!

So 4 months before release is the pre-order expectancy? Asking for the HMR 0A 😁
