Vi-RS Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The VF-1J looks so much better by getting rid of the blinking painted feet, corrected chest stripes and improved head scuplt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koonfasa Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Oh wow, Dougram?!! I missed the last two HMR drops and am still ambivalent about it. I reckon they'll be easy enough to get but I've also got M&M in 1/60. Not sure about this exclusive either, especially since I've been dropping for their SW/Marvel Figuarts exclusives. And I broke my last exclusive doing this: Hurts even more when that Monster goes on sale barely a month after release. Do they expect us to buy the same number of Monsters as Valks or Regults? Anyway, Dougram?!! Edited September 26, 2016 by koonfasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convectuoso Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The VF-1J looks so much better by getting rid of the blinking painted feet, corrected chest stripes and improved head scuplt. So this version has the 'UN Spacy' text on the legs, unlike the previous Hi-Metal release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koonfasa Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) Crap. I didn't notice, but that's not the Monster. I don't actually have pics of it with the other HM-R. omg Photobucket sucks. Edited September 26, 2016 by koonfasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoexcaliber Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) We have a release date for next month's HMR VF-1J Hikaru. How many of you guys are skipping it since you already have the Armored unknown soldier type?

Chronocidal Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I actually ordered doubles of that one to get some TV-style missile clusters for use on Roy's 1S. I plan on parking one of those on my desk at work though. Take up a lot less space than the 1/60ths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Skipping because I have the HMR GBP *and* the original Hi-Metal 1J which has the TV Hikaru pilot figure. You do know that the new one has corrected chest stripes, chest filler pieces and improved head sculpt, right? That's what makes me wanted to get this release. I can care less about the one in gbp bundle since it gets dressed up with the armor pieces anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I still want to find one. I missed the pre-order window. And I already have the GBP release. I want it for all the improvements. And hopefully it's a bit brighter white too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm regretting not jumping on this line from the start and missing the gbp and the upcoming Hikaru. Hopefully, it will be in stock again near release like the cf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what makes me wanted to get this release. I can care less about the one in gbp bundle since it gets dressed up with the armor pieces anyway. Those are fine improvements, but not enough for me to triple dip. At this point, they'd have to make some pretty significant improvements for me to want to get a third one. Then again, I'm not one of those people that makes a big deal about TV white vs. DYRL off-white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vi-RS Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm glad that the VF-1A is having some sort of grayish beige instead of white to go with the brown. What's up with the rotating eye piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 So it just pushes in? That's an interesting way to do it. Also interesting is the location change of the laser. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignacio Ocamica Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'm glad that the VF-1A is having some sort of grayish beige instead of white to go with the brown. What's up with the rotating eye piece? That's for fighter mode, to accomodate the head. It comes with two heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi-RS Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 That's for fighter mode, to accomodate the head. It comes with two heads. It's an interesting way to do that, and I'm surprise that Bandai will go that far for accuracy on this scale. Yamato didn't do that probably because the head compartment is larger or the eye piece is not protruding like the Bandai's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I like that, actually. I thought there were two heads but that it had changed and this was a pic showing why. Thanks for clearing it up Ignacio Ocamica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Such an awesome Macross collectible line....hope Bandai doesn't abandon it this time....still too much SDFM/DYRL left for Bandai to do... I knew this pic looked familiar........R = Respect * The picture is for nostalgic purposes only. And here is the original illustration they are most definitely recreating..... Tenjin paying some more homage to old school Macross on that VF-1J boxart....even included the gunpod strap!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
