abbadon Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Not sure. But it kinda looks like general release. I don't see any Tamashii Web text on the photo. Yeah, I thought so too. With all these preorders, I'm going to have to go on an apple and water diet enough for me to go Var around the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you not be able to get one of these HM-R M&M's, you can just stay relax and prepare your Christmas Tree with the illuminated Delta characters acrylic stand. Delta Fever! Walkure Forever!

barurutor Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 How different is the new Max 1J from the old Hi-Metal one, without considering the Super Parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Just as different as the HMR Hikaru from the HM Hikaru I would imagine. Different biceps, metal hinge in chest, and removable nose cone so you can throw a GBP on it. Plus some extra accessories like the new chest fillers I imagine.

no3Ljm Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Probably Y9504 is tax included price in Japan? November 2016. I definitely like the white/light grey color on the leg packs. Photo from TagHobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barurutor Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 8800JPY x 1.08 (8% Japan tax) = 9504JPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Awesome. I can't wait to preorder. Ready as always. Since there's no HMR release for August, maybe they can squeeze in a Destroid release. The CF VF-1A preorder was late April with a September release and the VF-1J Hikaru preorder was June for an October release. The VF-1J Max preorder will most likely be in July.

sh9000 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 9504 JPY is a nice price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The colors are wrong, but I'll take it for $100. Beats paying $500+ for the Yamato versions. Don't like the Max & Miria colors enough to shell out that kind of cash or bother fixing it myself. I don't mind the colors, but I totally agree with you on the price. I'll be happy to add Max's 1J back into my collection at this scale. I can't wait for more news on Milia's too. It will be nice to have the pair again, albeit smaller than my old 1/48s. And, who knows? It's a long shot, but Arcadia could (maybe) figure a way out of its slump and release individual 1J M&M box sets with more accurate details at 1/60 scale? Then everyone will have more choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I think I'll be giving Max some custom GBP armor just like my 1/60 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'd guess the pre-orders for Max start July 1st, same day as Figuarts AOTC Obi-Wan. Works for me, once again I'll grab both in the same order, I always seem to get some nice Figuarts stuff in the same order as my Hi-Metals, I like the way it works out.

sh9000 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Definitely 2 Max's and 2 Milia's. Maybe 3 of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I just wish they had internal landing gears. Is there an engineering impediment to this? I don't think it's engineering impediment. It's more like at that scale, a working landing gears are prone to breakage. And nobody wants that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And price, they wanted to be far cheaper than larger scale VF toys... though they didn't get that far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbit Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) And price, they wanted to be far cheaper than larger scale VF toys... though they didn't get that far! They could have made them rotate out, without springs. The kid in me always wants a perfect transformation, even before I knew what that meant.

F360 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 They could have made them rotate out, without springs. The kid in me always wants a perfect transformation, even before I knew what that meant. Even the 1/60 or 1/48 scales don't use springs , they haven't use it for landing gears for a long time . Then there also the heat sheild if you r taking about perfect transformation. And with the yen gaining in value , I wouldn't expect them to incorporate any of those thing without charging a arm or a leg . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The off-color tips are starting to do it for me. I might get Max and Milia just to have an alternate look to display them as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Larger scale = perfect transformation but enemy and larger mecha is almost nonexistent. HMR scale = a compromise in some parts to transformation but enemy and larger mecha is a reality. Yeah I'll settle for HMR's size and transformation.

arbit Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well, non-valk enemy mecha.... I'm really in it only for the non-valk mecha, and some re-paints which I don;t have space for in 1/60. But there have been a lot of VF-1s so far. Hope they don;t burn out before the more interesting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anubis20 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I really dislike the HMR line because of the size/price/PITA to order.. but i think im in for a M&M set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun pod 78 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Question is the white stripe on his chest correct, as that was a big sticking point for some on the VF-1j Full armor, and the TV version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
