Raikkonen Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Can anyone please post pics of a HMR VF-0 and HMR VF-1 alongside a wave 1/100 VF-1 kit in fighter mode? Want an idea of scale before pulling the trigger on the wave kits. Appreciate it. (Been searching net for days, but nadda) Quote
sh9000 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 The Wave 1/100 VF-1 would be about 1/2" shorter than the HMR VF-1. Quote

If there's ever an update about the Tomahawk, I'll make sure to post about it in the HMR Tomahawk and Phalanx thread. https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/50435-hi-metal-r-tomahawk-and-phalanx/#comment-1643975 Quote
Tking22 Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Yeah I'll take one, I like Bandai's newer R 19 mold, it's a fun little toy. Quote
rsvictor1976 Posted April 3 Posted April 3 (edited) I wonder if the sound booster will fit this. It'd be awesome if someone customized the sound booster into cannons or missile pods. Edited April 3 by rsvictor1976 Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Cool, glad to see see another 19. It could be fun if they made it with that color-changing plastic or paint that turned red when it got warm! Quote

Recently bought the HMR VF-4 and I love it. Unlike the Yamato 1/60 VF-4, whose design Bandai basically copied, I wish they had gone the extra mile to impart shoulder rotation, as it would have improved pose ability immensely. I have the upcoming HMR VF-2SS rerelease POed and I'm excited for it. It'll be my first and only VF-2SS toy, and judging by reviews, it's a really good design. Quote

Yeah, I haven't gotten around the VF-2SS, either. I think it and the VF-19 are the only variable molds I'm missing (I think they also did a an HMR Reguld and a few Destroids, but if it doesn't turn into a plane I don't want it); I've got a VF-4 (in Fokker's colors, not the Flashback one), a VF-0S, a VF-1J Hikaru, and a VF-1S Fokker. ...and when I put it that way, dang. Bandai needs to get cracking. I'd still really like, at minimum, a VF-11 (I prefer C), a VF-17 (I prefer D), more VF-19s (A and F, please), and a VF-22 (Gamlin colors). While they're at it, might as well give me an SV-51 gamma (Ivanov colors), a VF-25S, a VF-27, a VB-6 a VF-31F, and an SV-262. And heck, since they did the VF-2SS, might as well do the VF-2JA and the Metal Siren. And once all those TV valks are out of the way, a VF-3000, VF-5000 (VF-X2 colors), VF-4, VF-14, VA-3, VAB-2, Variable Glaug, and Pheyos. Then if they have time maybe some of the Protodeviln mecha.

Yes. The Variable Glaug, VF-5000B M+ colors, and VF-14 are high on my list of wants, although I'd take an Sv-51Y (Nora's)) as I never got that variant in 1/60, but at HMR scale, it'd be a lot more space-friendly on the shelf while maintaining the articulation and detail of its larger variant at a fraction of the cost. I wouldn't mind an HMR VF-9 Cutlass either. There are sp many Macross designs that have yet to be made in the HMR line- Bandai needs to get crackin'! I have Yamato's OG 1/60 VF-4G w/ dark grey nose, and recently I bought the HMR VF-4G in FB2012 colors, so best of both worlds in two scales. I'm with you; if it doesn't transform into an aircraft of some kind, I'm generally not interested, except for the Octos, which becomes a sub. I'd take an HMR of that design, too. Quote
GGemini Posted July 24 Posted July 24 (edited) Next release: the VF-0S again.... this time with QF-22000D B https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15468/?wovn=en Edited July 24 by GGemini added images Quote
Froy Posted July 24 Posted July 24 There goes, probably, the chance of a reactive armor. Was expecting Bandai to reissue the VF-0S in bundel with the armor since it is the only variant animated equipping it. Quote

HMR RA will pop up someday...only thing is how much will it cost...🤑 As for this OS release bundle with the ghost...hmm...since i already have the 0S and 0A.... maybe if you want a stand with the words QF 2200 ghost on it...then yeah i suppose..

MKT Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Well, not that much of a surprise, we sort of knew it was inevitable. Tomahawk better be next. I don't know what comes after blue-balls. Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 24 Posted July 24 I picked up three of the VF-0A combos.. Might still grab two of these, but probably only one. I am glad I grabbed two of the original VF-0S releases though, so I at least have enough missile clusters to equip one of the 0As with them. On that note though, they do look good paired with one of the brown missile pods and one of the clusters on the outer mounts. That might be my favorite loadout. Quote

Major pipedream; we all know those will NEVER happen; heck, we're still waiting for the Tomahawk and Phalanx from OG Macross to see the light of day. Quote

Considering how their Eva line sold like hot pancakes, yet never released so many shown prototypes including of the angels, (and the popularity of Evangelion vs Macross) it's unlikely the Toma and etc will be in retailers storerooms. Unless the original series gets a reboot, those prototypes will remain flaking their paint on some dusty Bandai shelf... Edited July 25 by Raikkonen Quote

sh9000 Posted July 24 Posted July 24 (edited) I still like the missile clusters that came with the VF-0A. From Macross Zero I'll buy a Cheyenne, Monster MK IP, Reactive Armor, and the 3 SV-51 variants. Edited July 25 by sh9000 Quote

It's also likely most of Bandai's resources now are focused on whatever merch they can pump out of the upcoming new series. Edited July 25 by Raikkonen Quote

vladykins Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago Probably like others, I saw the activity in this thread and, after the DX Roy GBP, thought "Maybe, just maybe, they are giving us the Tomahawk and Phalanx. And Scout Regult. And Nos-J. Q-Rau. I'm stopping myself before I get more depressed. Quote
