Star Wars brand entered religious status quite some time ago. Either don't believe in it anymore or you feel obligated to somehow defend it.

LOL. Looks like it's already yellowing in that pic! Jokes aside, it looks solid. But to convince me to click buy on one of these, it would need to be a Stealth or Low Vis repaint.

Happily waiting for the standard release.

What what what what??? They do. (Link below for EU) Latam is supplied by the US distribution. However it takes sometimes a month for an item to be listed after it's announced in Japan. And it's released quite well after it hits the shelves in Asia. https://tamashiinations.fr/fr/recherche?s=macross&page=3

Thanks to both. Bandai's notorious bright white yellowing curse is my deal breaker.

We always do 😅

Can anyone tell me or show if the it's white or light grey? Numerous videos looks bright white, yet some pictures looks grey.

Most of that film is erased in my mind, but yeah, I recall it now, those however were electrified whips. Lightsabers are no longer special as almost everyone has one like everyone had a Nokia in the late 90s, and even after getting stabbed right through vital organs, it's barely a scratch the next day.

I agree. I'm in Europe and on it's page I get this. It lists the Euro online stores it will be available.

Only 2 characters shown so far. Leto and Bridges.

I recall that, hence I said non-cannon as I too don't remember the SP on it. @MKT Found the screenshot. No SP.

I had plans to get a 0S cheap, repaint in camo green, but give it's super parts to the 0D... that second part is scrapped now. So all I can think of is a non-cannon 0D fodder with super parts?

Thank you!!! Utterly blown away by his work!!!

Thanks for this. Easy pass then.

Need videos...

Wow. Epic! Bandai, we need this in these colours!!! Do you have the original link of the artist?

Win: - No paint apps misses - Final production colour (albeit I like the blue tinted prototype) - No loose/floppy joints upon opening - Knee joint bends at 90 degrees, unlike the VF-1D which is around 80 degrees - Potential VF-0S reactor armour release with white Ghost connectors? - 3 UN Spacey valks released, does beckon next is a potential enemy SV-51 lineup? - Potential VF-0A fodder? Could have been better: - Artwork, not the best in capturing this beast in plane mode - After a few transformations, the bicep swivels loosened a bit, losing about half it’s initial tightness. Still holds though. - The hip connector to the swing rod is very tight, making it difficult to lock immediately the legs in plane mode and gerwalk (Here only without the stand adapter, otherwise works well.) - Tiny pilot has no feet - Lacking some deco touches in the cockpit - A coloured instruction booklet - The screws of the stands’ arms need tightening right out of the box Fail: - The stand’s thin arm connector utterly loose at both ends out of the box. (Guess mine is a lemon?) - Arms transformation for plane mode requires a lot of gentle and patient pressing to snug it into place. - Wings lacks locking, making it impossible to achieve perfect symmetric plane mode by freehand. - Gunpod trigger and guard are molded together (Common Bandai Achilles heels also present in their SFH line) - The prototype on the box still has the blue tint. - The transformation process in the upper torso feels fragile - The fists don’t snuggly fit into the backpack for plane mode. Identical issue with my VF-0D. - No white Ghost booster holder parts for VF-0S Focker release. - Possibility this wraps up Bandai’s Zero HMR lineup. By this stage, hints of a prototype SV-51 would have already dropped. (Albeit, Bandai works in weird and mysterious ways, and maybe will right drop them right after I posted this?) Epic fail: - Ghost drone lacks a hole to pose it separately on the stand and interchangeable parts for solo flight mode and landed mode. - By omitting the above, Bandai missed the opportunity for a future Ghost booster two pack. Collectors would army build these. - The above indicates the high possibility this wraps up Bandai’s Zero HMR lineup (For a while?). Recommendation: - Definitely. Get many. Overall product outweighs the fails that are mainly personal expectations. These two points of mine are loose, making it impossible to pose leaning to one side while straight on the base. The ball jointed thruster on the ghost indicates that perhaps there were plans to have it posed on it own? The hip section of mine is too tight, making it a hand sweeting process to lock the legs. In Gerwalk it's fine if you use the stand adapter that automatic aligns angle. In case you're wondering, it's still nope. The super parts are still not adoptable for the 0Ds mysterious connection points. I'll close with this.

Hmmm... When I first posted, I thought this was Ozma with super parts... But it's actually with the armour, which I'm not too fund as those huge armour pants kill it in Battroid...

Didn't know they're a rereleased concept... watched some videos on the builds and look to have quite a bit of work involved... Maybe I'll just continue holding out for a re-re-release DYRL HMR...

Love weathering there. So gritty.

Light saber whip... 🤣🤦‍♂️ What's next? Light saber net launcher? Light saber nun-chuks? Light saber imagine whatever you want alla green latern ring? 🤣

Spoiler pic...

Epic news. Now I can sell the previous release without armour without any regrets.

As I'm getting further into HMR... I suddenly find myself keen in the plane mode of these... At least one is needed. The latest video with the release schedule reminded they're around the corner now.

Video opens at timestamp of the VF-22.
