PointBlankSniper Posted March 27 Posted March 27 KInda odd only Ozma gets super pack and they didn't announce Luca while they were at it lol. I know there are a couple more images, one of which includes sound boosters for Alto too. Quote
kajnrig Posted March 27 Posted March 27 The Supers were originally part of the Klan 25G kit IIRC. And while I'd love a RVF, I understand why no one ever does one besides Hasegawa. Especially in this line. How would they integrate the radome with the girl? Maybe it's just a hat? Maybe it attaches to her back? Quote

Rock Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Why the blonde and not one of the gals from MacrossF? I mean Kathy was good enough for the deculture decal set Bandai did for Ozma's 1/72 Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Probably just purely licensing costs. I'd imagine original characters are a lot cheaper to make and get approval for. Though I'd prefer an armored Ozma, I don't know if they could pull that off convincingly. Quote
SteveTheFish Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I'm watching Kousaka's video of Aoshima's booth. Looks Kaneda has gone all-out with the whole furry thing. Sheesh. Yet he won't make a VFG of Misa riding a VF-1 Valk. Quote

Chronocidal Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Anyone missed it that wanted one, the Mikumo VFG kit is coming back in stock. https://www.hlj.com/v-f-g-macross-delta-vf-31j-siegfried-mikumo-guynemer-aos06528 Quote
kajnrig Posted June 7 Posted June 7 (edited) Nice, thanks. I was just looking at stores last night since the first pre-order caught me by surprise. EDIT: Well dang, looks like it's back to discontinued already. Must be popular... or really limited...? Edited June 7 by kajnrig Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 14 Posted June 14 (edited) I'm actually thinking it's just a matter of her being the character everyone was really wanting from the start. I don't think they're actually going to be discontinued though, since I think the other sets are all still reproduced with some regularity. HLJ just tends to click that button when they don't know for sure whether they'll get more later. Edit: It's back in stock as of about 6pm Pacific, so hope you can grab one!

Raikkonen Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Just want the Ozma for the valk, as wouldn't know what to do with the rest... Will continue to wait for a HG Bandai of it... Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Really wish they would do an armored Ozma already (and please make the figure Cathy ) I'll give them credit where due though, it's hilarious, but the VFG super VF-25 is the only version I know of that actually locks together into a solid fighter mode with parts that don't pop off easily (yes, that includes the DX).

SteveTheFish Posted October 22 Posted October 22 For what it's worth, I saw Kaneda-san at the All-Japan Model Hobby Show and once again implored him to produce either a Misa or Minmay riding on a VF-1 VFG kit. He said he's not keen on that since there's so much TOS Macross stuff being made already by other companies, but personally I think the real reason is that he'd rather do that weird furry stuff instead. I don't get it. I'd think a TOS VFG kit would be a top-seller, but he does what he wants to do. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 22 Posted October 22 (edited) Honestly, it's probably more about the licensing, like so many other things currently driving the franchise. They seem to be prioritizing designs they can freely sell to anyone, rather than just the local fanbase. Or from a different angle, they might not be able to get the licenses to make those specific characters. We haven't seen anything from the other pre-Frontier series either, I think. I still want an actual Sheryl valk though. Edited October 22 by Chronocidal Quote

Well, when I worked for Aoshima, the Macross license was open, meaning if you pay for it then it gives you the ability to do anything Macross-related, including Macross II, Flashback, and other minor stuff. That was in 2015 when that open license was revealed, and I was at the All-Japan show working for Aoshima's booth when that was announced. In recent years, I've just wondered if the villains at Harmony Gold may try to do something about that and perhaps companies might be selective regarding their projects. Quote
