Very very nice! Didn’t realize before HMR Regults were so undersized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Dug out my spare HM VF-1S box from storage to check out how it looks with my custom white HMR VF-1S Strike Roy inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Nice builds. I'll stick to my HMR Regults as they are closer to scale with the HMR VF-1 though. 15.12 - 12.68 = 2.44. Edited March 18, 2023 by sh9000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Oh, so now they're finally getting around to Max and Kakizaki? I might try and grab one or two of these, depending on how insane they are to get, but I'm already overloaded for Hikaru 1Js. I'd really rather just have more DX versions.

nightmareB4macross Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 So maybe we’re seeing the color Bandai has chosen for a possible upcoming release of Kakyzaky in DX form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tking22 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 So Bandai does a box set, long ago, of the full DYRL 1A squad, multiple 1js, no Max or Kaki 1A, I sell the majority of my collection thinking we'll never get TV Vermillion, now this? Bummer, but kind of expected, now I have Vermillion as DX and I can't be bothered with Hi-Metal R except for the more interesting releases like the 0D, oh well. They look fantastic, regular release or TWE? If BBTS puts them up as a set I might bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Wonder if it's gonna be a three-pack just due to the colored-stands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKT Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hmm all 3 to be revealed together? High chance it will be a 3-pack set.. Although, do I need yet another Hikaru 1J? Where’s the Tomahawk + Phalanx dual pack set, Bandai? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 3pack would be cost prohibitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froy Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hopes it is a bundle. Don't want to go the struggle of hunting down every single one them if I miss the OPs or if they turn to be a TWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I'd love a bundle of Max and Kakizaki, but I'm up to my eyebrows in Hikaru 1Js, so I'd rather they just sell those two and include his stand. Makes too much sense for Bandai to do it, but I can dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I'll still happily buy at least 2 of every release. Long live Hi-Metal R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 For the original HM they were available individually and you got a bonus for getting all three. I hope that's the format for this as well... People who just purchased the GBP probably don't need another Hikaru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anasazi37 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Based on the Twitter post, more info will be available tomorrow (19 May). Not sure if I want, or don't want, a three pack. Already have three Hikarus, due to the latest GBP release, and it might be cost-prohibitive. The upside would be one less night of PO madness to get both Max and Hayao in a single purchase.

seti88 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Its a 2-pack but with 3 stands....PO today at 4pm JP time! p-bandai 2 separate releases. https://figsoku.net/blog-entry-352809.html Red Hikaru and kakizaki brown pedestal is included in the VF-1A kaki release....

treatment Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 9900y and TWE? each? lol! Some serious greed there, Bandai. Really banking on nostalgia, eh Bandai? Speaking of nostalgia, I reckon we bought our old respective Yammies 1/60s years ago much cheaply and they're PTs! Wonder if Arcadia will do everybody a solid and re-issue their versions to compete against these overpriced HM-Rs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKT Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Ah good thing it's not a bundle release forcing Hikaru 1J in.. It's as good as can be hoped for the releases to be separate. One slight peeve is that these new 'revival' HMR VF-1 could do with further forward angle on their legs / feet in Gerwalk, just like the DX or even Arcadia's 1/60 to allow for more aggressive A-stance.

Slave IV Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 The good thing is Arcadia seems to charge the same price as they did around 10 years ago so with the exchange rate and inflation, we are getting them for less today than they were then. Not as cheap as Yamato days but still not bad. I’m in for both if they do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Yeah, Bandai's HMR may be overpriced sometimes, but Arcadia isn't a great example for more reasonable prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think because there were so many clearance sales way back in Yamato's heyday and people got used to those sale prices that once Yamato went under (turns out their business model wasn't great for solvency) and Arcadia had to move to a business model that would allow them to actually stay afloat that a bunch of people decided Arcadia was way overpriced and wanted the pricing back from the Yamato days.
