The feet are turned at the ankles, both at differing degrees, which, coupled with the proportions, really makes fighter mode an eyesore. In battroid mode it looks fine, aside from the red chest stripes. But I can cover it up with the GBP chest plate... with a crooked 1! To be fair, it's not really noticeable if you're not looking too closely. I really like it a lot in battroid mode! It's got good poseability and the smaller scale makes it easier to handle than its big brother. And I'm more comfortable abusing it since it's much cheaper. So... who's looking forward to an HMR VF-4 with an ugly fighter mode but great battroid?

Transformed my 1J to fighter mode. Transformation was easy. It's as "perfect" as it can be at this size, I suppose. Fighter mode is ugly. No two ways around it. Mine especially since the feet are crooked. Tried twisting the feet straight but they don't appear to have that range of motion, so it's just shoddy build quality. This and any future HMR VF-1 purchases are staying in battroid mode, which makes them overpriced Robot Damashii figures to me. Hope the Regults are are of better build quality than this.

You should totally transform your VF-4! It's one of the easiest valkyries to transform. I was able to open it and have it transformed to battroid in just a few minutes despite having never seen it transform and without needing to check the manual.

Bandai's most expansive line would be their gashapons but I'm not replacing anything with those either. I'll wait till these things are actually for sale before I go congratulating Bandai for their "expansive" line. Bandai has a whole graveyard of dead and abandoned Macross products. Does anyone here own a Bandai Vajra?

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Thanks guys! Might sell off my destroids though, what with the HMR destroids on the way. If I do, I'll probably keep the olive drab weathered version. That thing looks pimp! -
Lmao we're into a show and/or toys of colorful planes that turn into giant robots. We passed the "I'm a grown man blah blah blah" exit long ago.

So finally got my HMR GBP set (I pack as much as I can into the 60 days given by HLJ). Don't have time to fiddle the with the armor, but played around with the 1J a bit. It's nice for what it is, but it definitely doesn't hold a candle to its bigger Yamato brother. The angle of the red chest stripes is a real eyesore to me. Noticed the "1" on the armor chest plate is ever so slightly crooked. Most people probably wouldn't even notice, but I do. Not going to replace my 1/60 collection, but for the price, I like it. Looking forward to future HMR releases, especially the ones that will probably never see a 1/60 version.

Lots of new arrivals this week. Just the Macross stuff pictured. Originally passed on the 0A because I didn't think it was worth the cost, but damn all of you and all the nice pics you posted! -
Holding on to all my 1/60 valkyries. The HMR stuff looks great and I'm definitely in for many of the upcoming releases, but I am not confident that Bandai won't drop the line as soon as sales start looking disappointing. I won't begrudge Bandai for trying to make sound business decisions, but it sure would suck to only have half the Skull squadron when the plug gets pulled.

Didn't Battle Galaxy use that at the end of Frontier?
-
It's just the lighting. It's also a V1 VF-27, seeing the crooked modex number on it and lack of markings seen on the newer version.
-
VT-1, VE-1, Glaug, all those destroids... I can't wait! Crap, do we have to buy all new Regults just to get the missile attachments?
-
Oh my god! Now I have to get a Kakizaki HMR just for that scene!
-
Woohoo! And it only took 8 years!
-
I'll take one now!
-
Definitely looks like a modified YF-30. Looking good!
-
Lol true I just hope Bandai gets it right the first time this time. I don't want to wait around till the Delta movie for a renewal version!
-
If Frontier is any indication... all of them! Multiples if they have various add-on packs (which they probably will).
-
Paint scratching galore but a definite buy for me!
-
Story has never been a strong point in Macross as far I'm concerned (even Plus had a messed up story imo) but I'm still going to buy up any and all valkyries that I like the looks of. Looks like more Bandai preorder madness for a lot of us in the near future...
-
Why not? Arcadia could add that as a gimmick and charge an extra 5000 yen.
-
I repainted mine in the FB2012 colors but I think mine looks amateurish compared to the awesomeness of wm cheng's! The skull squadron is an interesting idea. I'll think about trying it. I'll only have 3 units though, so I guess Kakizaki gets the shaft yet again!
-
Oh man, as much as I like Arcadia products, their pricing is brutal. Aside from the YF-19, I've had to limit myself to only one of each Arcadia release because of the price. A world where people can only afford one of each valkyrie... that's not the kind of world I want my kids growing up in!
-
Arcadia GBP set comes with a built-in display stand. They're called "legs" I believe.

I just shipped out a huge shipment from HLJ via FedEx. Only 7900 yen and easily bigger than 2 valks. HLJ tends to have the lowest shipping rates in my experience, so I've got 2 VF-4s with them. Gonna customize them into Skull 2 and Skull 3. Low shipping + PW means I order way more from HLJ than I did in the dark ages before PW.
