twich Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 If my supposition is correct and the Hi Metal R VF-0 toys are designed with integrated landing gears and an articulated air brake, this could be a new turning point for the line. If we got all the VF-0’s and perhaps the SV-51…..I imagine this would sell like hotcakes and directly compete with Arcadia’s offerings. realistically, I am not expecting Metal landing gears with rubber wheels, but who knows….. I hope I turn out to be correct. twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I'm accumulating points at The Chosen Prime and hope to preorder multiples of the VF-0S with a discount there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twich Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 So, given that we have seen the Bandai Hi Metal R VF-0S shown with a stand, wings with hard points, missiles for the hard points, and what appears to be self contained bay doors for landing gear, how much do you think this release will run? Do people think they are gauging the interest for Macross Zero Hi Metal R toys? Could there be a whole line from Macross Zero to include the destroids from both sides…… I’m pretty excited and wish they would announce more details along with official word on the possibility of international release.

Sanity is Optional Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The VF-4 figures were around $120, and the VF-2SS ones were around $110. I'd imagine it'll be around $130? Lots of little bits in a VF-0S, plus the larger size, plus the missiles and (extra?) wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'm pleased we're getting something other than another VF-1, though I still wish they would finish, well, any VF-1 squadron. What a perverse train of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Bandai decides on throwing in the Ghost Booster and added armaments and fuel tanks, north of $170/180? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketblast Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I might get one but what the heck happened to the Chogokin line? I thought they would be burning another hole in our wallet with that stuff again quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twich If they're releasing the VF-0S, the VF-0A is most likely to happen. I hope they also make the 0D and the Sv-51, but I wouldn't count on the Destroids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 It's a mini Arcadia VF-0. I mean it's like a shrunken Arcadia VF-0, same exact hands/fingers, same shoulder, elbow and hip joints (just to mention some parts). Not that I'm against it! The Arcadia VF-0 is one of the best VF toy out there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arcadia VF-0 is one of the best VF toy out there!! It's really the same situation as with the VF-4s, if you think about it. They're nigh identical, just at different sizes, and with a couple of different features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) IIRC, Bandai also hires T-Rex, right? So maybe T-Rex just scaled down their Arcadia's VF-0 file and 'tweaked' it a little bit.

jenius Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 The trick with M0 is to skip every scene that doesn't feature mecha. It's really good if you only watch the fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have similar feelings. It had this vibe for me of a slow anime. Characters staring into the sky and whatnot. mysticism. I wish i could get into it, and frontier and delta. SDF is the only one that completely hit the spot story wise, and Macross Plus Because as you guys described where the action sequences were great but character story bored me. And I have to admit Macross seven because despite all of the goofiness it was still a fun ride. i will still buy a vf-0 though. Very nice design and not spindly and thin like newer valks Edited December 10, 2021 by lavinrac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketblast Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Macross Zero? It was pretty good. I wish I could get into Macross Frontier tho', too. What ever happened to Bandai re-releasing the VF-1S Roy strike valkyrie? I never managed to pick one of those up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketblast Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 meh. I liked the whole thing. it wasn't entirely like the battle scenes were icing on the cake since there was a lot of CG instead of pure anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One with and without the special Tamashii stand. Bandai also hasn't released yet a Roy VF-1S TV version. But we did get a glimpse of a Hikaru VF-1S TV version with Super Packs during the last event.

Roy’s Strike VF-1S was shown at an event last year along with a Scout Regult, and I think people suspected it might be getting a re-release at some point. At this point, I’d rather get the TV version, even though I already put together customs from the original Hi Metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
