EXO Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I need Hikaru's TV VF-1J so I can recreate the opening credits battle scene with the Regults and also his later battle against Kamjin's Glaug. I have it and the joints are so loose on it. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I was just playing with my original HM Hikaru and it's held up fine. Seems I got a good one, or maybe just didn't handle it very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drad Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I missed the first HI METAL train. Time to get on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I have it and the joints are so loose on it. lol. The Ankles on my Hikaru are massively floppy now. Max has held up but I haven't really fidgeted with him as much. Edited February 4, 2016 by Mommar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 My VF-1J Max has still held up pretty well and it's the one I transform the most. Maybe it's because it's Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHobo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 25,000 yen? That's a spicy monster. Not unexpected, but hey it's the first monster toy from SDF since the original 80s toys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavinrac Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I really hope thy don't Kill the Hi-Metal R line when we dont all rush out and buy this in multiples. I gotta sit this one out. I dont LOVE it enough to pay that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 More expensive than the Koenig even though it doesn't transform. Yikes. Just one for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I need at least 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 More expensive than the Koenig even though it doesn't transform. Yikes. Just one for me. I was thinking the same thing... that's a huge jump from the Glaug to the Monster's price. I was expecting for it to be a bit more but not that much. Not more than the Koenig.

F360 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Wow, the monster is expensive. I'll probably gonna skip it unless I can get it for a much better price. I can not justified this non transformable thing costing more than a transformable Chogokin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmkjr Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 It was voted number one so let's see if sales will back up the votes. Looks like it uses 3+ valks with supers worth of plastic so I was guessing at least 3 times the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Ford has a famous quote about it, "They would have asked for faster horses" and Steve Jobs has lots of quotes about it... basically all saying it's dumb to do. The folks demanded the Monster... now none of them will buy it because what they really want is a repainted VF-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmkjr Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Then I guess Arcadia's doing a pretty good job of following that rule. Edit: I wonder how much metal will be in this thing? Edited February 7, 2016 by wmkjr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drad Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 If this line tanks because the Monster doesn't do well, I'm gonna be pissed. I have high hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm still buying it. Just have to reach deeper into the pocket... lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drad Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I don't have a problem with the price. It is pretty huge, and that costs money. I just literally don't have any room for it. I dunno. We'll see. I wanna have a complete collection so badly, and so far it looks like Hi-Metal R is coming closest to helping me achieve that. That said, I wonder how many people are gonna spring for the Monster, considering the price/space concerns. I hope it does decently enough, and if not I hope it doesn't stop Bandai from continuing the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-Zer0S Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 So it doesn't transform? Dam if it does i'm in but if not, an easy pass. I love the monster but that's ways too much space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the monster but that's ways too much space That's the original Monster, so no, no transformation. If it did, that'd be adding a feature that it never had in the first place.
