Yeah , but you know, a sitting-crying Minmei should have been included. Not gonna complain though, they are giving us "telescopic" seats. Ha one more seat to have Minmei sitting, now that i think about it. It would be cool if they gave us standing or kneeing Hikarus too.

i wish i could buy this, but i am limited right now. Here is the link if you want a CF https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1110287749&ref=mail

SWEET! just give me like 2 weeks, i am in poor mode right now, lol My line up is going to look sick!

I regret passing on this back then.

Yeah Ignacio, i do see them in that light! Addictive is right! if you still want to sell me that Vf-4, sh9000, it will join these! if not, i totally understand!

yeap, and sh9000 didn't help, LOL

I have to say HMR has grown on me. I love these tiny things.

Hell yeah, NIN will always be nine inch nails! I absolutely love this monster. I have the yammie one, but there is absolutely no competition!

I actually set up this display one week before the 1A max was announced. Premonition?

^ ^ ^ I know this 1D is a custom 1/48. Is this the reason why the cockpit/nose can separate? I've never seen a Yammie 1/48 with detachable cockpit/nose

Well, i must confess, i dont have a DYRL Kakizaki I do have the TV version, so i guess i get a D- as well.

Funny, i checked my email, and there was amiami payment request for the HMR 1D. Its funny because i checked at the exact moment the email came in. So its done, i am officially broke this month.

I don't mind waiting. Car maintenance and the recent DX VF-1A TV Max killed my wallet. I'll Def buy yours, If you still up for it in may.

NOT AGAIN! missed it Thanks again Shizuka... Oh, and like SH9000 mentioned, i was wondering if they'd give us a sitting Minmei... i guess we are not getting her. That's a complete bummer for a very complete toy. i wonder if Shapeways will print some H-MR seats for the rest of the line, or if H-MR line will include seats from now on. All valkyries should come with on scale standing figures, like those Robotech 1/100 things they sell. Mandrake has another Monster https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1049749544&ref=flist&keyword=macross&lang=en I got mine from them and it is peerrrrrfec! [thanks to sh9000] Ha, who am i fooling, paying upfront for that Dx Max, broke my bank temporarily xD

Yeah, those scaled drawings looks pretty much spot on with the HM-R line. In the show, i recall Breetai being one of the biggest Zentraedi. Plus in the second episode the 1D looks way bigger when it goes through the Regult's legs. The soldier looks massive as it comes through the tiny hatch, but then it looks massive as it is close to the 1D in gerwalk mode.

HA I new the HMR enemy mecha was too small, but it is prob the closest we'll get to a face off. With camera trickery, that is.

You ordered 6???!!! No wait, why am I surprised? I know you like multiples. I do too! Sure thing, just let me know, and, again, Thanks so much!

With a pre-order, i rather trust NY/HLJ/Amiami, than some random person on Ebay. Also because scalpers love ebay...

I have no words.... You are really cool, thanks! I really hope i am not influencing that decision, IF you ever make it I know you love this line, and i feel guilty taking anything away from it. In any case, thanks for always being thoughtful and kind. you rock! With that said, if you ever do, I'll definitely get it from you.

Thanks for the comments guys! If mine yellows, I guess i'll make it into a vf-1J CF custom. When life gives you lemons, you make CF customs Congrats everyone on your VF-4! What a sexy fighter mode. i wish i could have one, but yesterday I told NY to shup up and take my money! Hmm, I may load Minmei in the Defender and pretend it is Miria... kicking butt in whatever it is she pilots.

Just out of curiosity, I don't think it is necessary to get an HMR TV Hikkie if you already own an HM TV Hikkie, right? Might as well get a HMR Sapartan, and move on. I almost got a HMR CF, but it was double the money i paid for the VT-1. I do have plenty of 1/48 CF, so i guess i can put them far far far away in the background, lol. [when taking pictures]

This must have been an internal joke. Also we know cel animation is challenging and it takes a long time to produce. Drawing all those missiles on the tail, is just an unnecessary waste of time. The drawing itself is pretty poor, and not even colored. look at the poor nose cone, missiles, and the unpainted pilot in the cockpit. BTW i have not ordered any misiles for my DX VF-1 line. Maybe i should grab a few in the future. Edit in: Ha i do have a massive amounts of 1/48 missiles. Maybe i can paint and modify them for the DX version! I think i just saved me a 100 bucks! Thanks @Duymon and others, for the info.

Thanks for the info SH9000. So my VT-1 DYRL Hikaru is too chunky for it. I guess those Big Macross burgers made him a bit chunky. The only problem is my TV Hikaru is a HM and not a HMR, so i think Hikaru, IRRC, is glued to the seat. I got him stored away, but i am pretty sure, the original HM line did not have actual removable pilot figures. I may use a pilot from my VE-1 for a few pics in the HMR Defender. It blows my mind how detailed the HMR line is, and yet so tiny. As @ArchieNov said, Saburo's pic are exceptionally well lit, and crsip. It really makes this line look bigger than it really is. Again, thanks SH9000, I would have never got into this line, if it wasn't for you. Granted, i may not get a Roy, or the rest of the line, but at least i have a good "scale" reference among different mechas in the series. Just to see a Valkyrie next to a Monster is rewarding enough. It really gives you a sense of scale, i Love it.

I had my pre-order for the DX VF-1J with them, and they fulfilled it. I have had nothing but good experiences with Amiami. I hope this helps.
