Same here as far as wanting more than just the heroes. Moderoid has been putting out a few kits for franchises of the past and most have had more than one kit. Patlabor has had some really obscure designs turned into moderoid kits. I’ve never seen such a variety of brain powered plastic kits before moderoid either. There’s already a couple for Nadesico and they did four kits for Escaflowne. Hopefully that trend sticks around for Orguss and Megazone.

MKT Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It’ll be great if this new Orguss kit scale with other VF-1 kits to sort of kitbash them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the new max factory kit if they do a 1a battroid. Or you never know, maybe since the moderoid line seems to do some obscure mecha especially with Patlabor, maybe they will do an official Orguss Valkyrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're more of a model kit collector, based on the bins of toys you have-you must have quite the model collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Nice. I’ve been meh on a large portion of the non-Macross HMR releases, but Orguss has my full attention. Hope it’s enough of a hit where we get more vehicles like we did with HMR Dougram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, if Bandai is not going to release the other mechas, where Moderoid is going to, we have something to pair it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just hoping to get something that I can play with it and not thinking that it's an expensive collectible that I can pose and transform once in awhile. You know what I mean? So half of the price of the Hi-Spec is more acceptable at this point knowing the niche of the said figure. But you know... we're all still going to end up placing a PO for one. That's for sure.

nightmareB4macross Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 At 22K¥, Bandai is ensuring the death of this line before it even has a chance to flourish. Talk about stooooopeeeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 The high price has me worried that Bandai isn’t planning to do too much with Orguss in the HMR line. I hope I’m wrong but time will tell. I’m still in for one copy…possibly more if it’s better than the hi-spec release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Sigh such ambitious pricing. I thought I would definitely get this after skipping Megahouse’s Hi-Spec, but the price is really crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 We finally have the product specifications, it says 170mm height. No idea what scale it approximates to though.. For Yen 22k, I'd wish for it to have lots of metal within, like the other non-transforming HMR's like Bat-Shu or even the HMR Destroids, but I'm not hopeful since the transforming VFs have the least metal ever.

That puts roughly at 1/50 or 1/51. Since Orguss official height is 8.7m (870cm). The old releases such as Megahouse Hi-Spec is at 21cm (close to 1/40 scale). The Megahouse Palm Action figure is at 10cm. Making it 1/87 scale. Takatoku releases I believe are 1/40 and 1/60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaninac Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Yeah, prices have gone from questionable, to insane, to ludicrous, and then you add steep US retailer - if even available - mark-ups or outrageous shipping.. pretty much out of this crazy wallet busting train.

Roy Focker Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Would have really like this but yeah no thank you. Remember how Hi-Metal line was the value line because it was a smaller, less detailed, less complex option made by the largest toy company . Guess those days are over.
