    Nice! And, yes, the muted blue looks great in your photos. But my OCD keeps seeing the bendy gunpod and the not perfectly aligned yellow array thingy.
  2. m0n5t3r
    Seconded.

    Saw this pic from a preorder... WTH is up with those landing gears?
  4. m0n5t3r
    Awesome! Testing it that way never even entered my mind.
  5. m0n5t3r
    Those cockpit features are a nice touch.

    Yeah, 1/60 for the Legioss will definitely be tiny. Displaying it with the HMRs might be okay from afar but when you focus on the cockpit and pilot... just like how it's weird for me when the I put my Riobot Iota side-by-side with the 3Zero VF-1S in fighter and I look at the pilot figures. Battroid/Soldier mode might be a different story. I hope 1/60 scale will make it more feasible to produce different versions of the Tread. Still wondering what that "reason" is and the details behind it. I hope it's more Mospeada or Genesis Breaker related instead of Robotech.

    Hmmm, wonder what that "reason" is? 1/60 scale ... can possibly be displayed with 1/60 Yamato/Arcadia VFs or even the 3Zero VF-1s. Hopefully the smaller scale and the simpler design will mean it'll be cheaper. I just hope they'll make a paint scheme (color) and head design (face) that i'll like.

    The circuit board looking internal parts on the shoulder, arms and wings might look better if they changed it from green to the same metallic color of the internal parts of the feet and crotch area.
  9. m0n5t3r
    I just noticed that the end of the nose cone juts past the crotch on the Pose+ while the Takara one is similar to the Riobot. I don't like the feet and the yellow-orange highlights on the Takara though. Have mixed feelings about that head fin on the Takara

    Yeah, off white or greyish white would be preferable. I keep my HMR 0S with the 0A's Ghost parts in the darkest corner of my cab in the darkest part of the house...

    1/28 scale... 330mm tall. Just saw a local preorder open up for this... a little over $525. proly the sheer size and heft plus all the gimmicks and light up stuff.

    Hi-Metal R

    m0n5t3r replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    HMR Reactive Armor is the only thing left I want from MacZero... Maybe an Ivanov too.

    Cool display and nice looking pose for the VF-2SS. Gotta add the VF-0D...

    HMR VF-19P

    m0n5t3r replied to BlueMax's topic in Toys

    Yay! One of the valks on my HMR wishlist. I hope the 3 M+ valks are next... or VF-25s.

    Too young. I still watch Top Secret for some nostalgic laughs, and The Saint, which is my wife's favorite Val movie, every now and then. I felt a little sad when I watched his documentary. RIP.

    Not really that excited to watch it myself. And I have no interest in rewatching the entire Seed and Destiny series before watching the movie. Just gonna watch it for the Mobile Suits, the action scenes and just for the sake of completing the series.

    I remember the first 10 or so eps were so tough for me... almost gave up on it a few times. loved it after all was said and done. After consuming mostly isekai and some other seinen anime and some netflix stuff the past year, I started to miss watching mecha shows so I've been rewatching Code Geass, Macross Zero, Mac Plus, Mac II, and just finished Macross Frontier TV (didn't take things too seriously this time around and just enjoyed the music, mecha action, and the copious amounts of nostalgia evoking callbacks and homages). Not sure if I want to watch the movies just yet so I'm moving on to Gundam 00 and maybe finally watch the new Gundam Seed movie.

    just when I felt a tinge of FOMO from the pics you posted... but then I quickly reminded myself of its face and those thighs, no space (and, honestly, no place) on my Mospeada shelf, and that I have to pay for the Tread and Legioss later this year. I'm sure it's a great toy from the looks of it (just like their Goshogun that I've been ogling) but just not for me given my current collecting habits.
  20. m0n5t3r
    Surprised by the price. Wish they would include the decals to make it look like the PF... would be tempted if they did.
  21. m0n5t3r
    I'm still waiting for mine (taking sooooo long for the local shop I preordered it from to get it). My fave looking bike and in armor mode too and really wanted another set of saddle bags and weapons. My original Yellow has cracks on both sides which I put a tiny amount of super glue in to fill the gap and covered with some unused grey decals. I thought the reissues wouldn't have this issue anymore since those parts on my Hoquet look different/sturdier and show no signs of cracking or even stress marks. Now I'm worried.

    Same. It's really been forty years ... and memory is a little fuzzy due to being older, but I still remember being able to watch a few SDFM eps. (and even DYRL later on) on some UHF channel on TV in the 80's. Of course it was in Japanese and I couldn't understand anything... and I was much too young to undersrand or care about anything else (plot, character development etc.) except the cool planes transforming into much cooler robots. And then there were the jarring images of those weird looking zentradi ships in space! But as a 10 yr old staying with my aunt in LA in the mid-80's, I was able to watch a good chunk of Robotech 1, 2 and 3 (and wanted to be like Rick and Scott, had crushes on Lisa and Dana)... good times. Of course life and growing up happened and I only realized the connection and the truth more than a decade and a half later. But the word Valkyrie had already been seared in my brain and had a meaning for me not connected to Norse mythology. I still find it amazing even after so long since Macross F first aired, that Macross is still alive and well in Japan. So much so that I don't really think about Robotech much. But it's good for the toy collectors here that there are now more Chinese companies making SDFM (and Mospeada) products by using the Robotech license. Man, that's the most times I've mentioned the word R*****ch in a long time

    Yeah, the artwork of both are very nice indeed. I appreciate them equally but I have a soft spot for the latest HMR releases coz they also feature characters from the respective shows, not just the VFs... I can just imagine Isamu on the box art of a HMR YF-19. C'mon Bandai, do it!
  24. m0n5t3r
    Fortunate to have found one of these, esp. for less than $100, since this wasn't a retail release. Edit... took a quick peek and was surprised that this comes with those extra replacement bits for mounting the ghost and micro missile launchers, but Roy didn't get any.
