easnoddy Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Will suck if Bandai only shows the DX VF-1S Hikaru and HMR VF-4G Fokker and nothing new/unseen.

GobotFool Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 You know, while I am glad they did make a VF-4 lighting as I really love the fighter design, I am honestly baffled by the fact that Bandai has never released more iconic valks like the YF-19 or YF-21 in the Hi Metal R Line. Didn't they tease as YF-21 Hi Metal R way back in 2010? Whatever happened to that?

They appear to be going in roughly order of appearance. Maybe the 21 will show up again at some point, we don't know. The 19 hasn't appeared again after the Firevalk and S were released in the old line (with good reason, because they were utter garbage.) The 21 is likely also not nearly as well developed as it could be today. Edited October 22, 2019 by Mommar

Yeah, I agree that Firevalk mold was pretty awful. The arms always fell off on mine. I all I can do is hope they don't try to salvage that mold to make a YF-19 and they just go for a completely new mold eventually.

They were working on a brand new YF-19 and YF-21 when the line went under many years ago.
Chronocidal Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I actually never minded the old HM VF-19 mold, in fact I even slightly preferred the proportions to the Yamato VF-19 mold, since I always thought the Yamato's nose felt too short, or the leading edge extension too long. The design is actually very similar between the two as well, especially the hip mechanism. It was just everything else that was lousy about the design, from the fiddly bits like the plug-in hand covers, to the complete lack of landing gear or gunpod mount. I think with a little work, they could easily upgrade that mold to be something more enjoyable. They just need to bring it up to the standards of the other HMR releases, and I could see myself grabbing a few easily.

Mazinger Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I'll be disappointed if there's no further Zentran releases. I did just order a 3D printer so if we get nothing else I'll just have to print out some STLs or, god forbid, learn how to CAD up my own.
borgified Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Hopefully that this Tamashii Nations exhibit will not disappoint us for the next HMR release.

sh9000 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Hoping for some more HMR releases. Come on Bandai.
Karaoke Ninja Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 https://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/exhibition.php Doesn't look like there'll be any HMR announcements...
seti88 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Wait till sunday. Sometimes bandai reserves new exhibits for the last day to pull in the crowds..

spacemanoeuvres Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I’ll be happy as long as it’s not a repaint. The remaining destroids would be cause for celebration :D

It does say "and more" and we know they made a giant VF-1S for a display so Macross will be there. If it will be more than just a DX VF-1S... we shall see 1 hour ago, sharky said: Honestly, I'll be happy to see anything as long as it's not a Valkyrie.

RDX17 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Looking over the past releases, I just realized there were only two HMR Macross in 2019: the VF-4 in March followed by the VF-1D in April. Here's hoping we see a few more in addition to the VF-4G in 2020.
