What will Hasegawa do next?

[sketchley]

Question is: will they release the missile pack equipped version in the near future?

 

 

And what about the Quadoran-Nona?  It would be a good way to milk those Quadoran-Ro molds!

[Bolt]

I will certainly mod one of mine w a missile pack, if not . Is there any existing line art for that variant?

The Quadoran- Ro would be awesome, but it's probably a long shot, no?

Nona might be a long shot, but missile pack, that’s tough to say. Recolors for sure. Kamjin’s black green and the gold trim color variations are pretty easy, missiles are a bit of a long shot, but kinda a simple add on. Possibly a garage company will do an conversion if hasegawa doesn’t

I’ve never seen line art and most people didn’t know it existed till on of the higher definition releases of the movie because you blink and you will totally miss it. I remember thinking those missiles were just hallway lights or something till a good snap of the pic popped up on one of these  threads. Not sure if anyone really noticed it till then. That pack is super easy to miss even with a good copy of the movie, but once you know it’s there, it’s there every time you watch it after that.

True enough. I never noticed it until it was pointed out here a while back.

I’m curious if many of the people actually involved with production really knew it was there

That looks pretty cool. 
I took advantage of the ECMS discount @ HLJ and shipped a bunch of Hasegawa stuff as well as several other things. But the TV Rau is too big to take advantage of the discount..

I did the same thing. Shipped everything I had but the TV Rau. lol. Can’t bring myself to pay $90 to ship it

Exactly! And my 1/144 Argama catapult deck is $170 to ship alone! That doesn't count the extra fees..

Hasegawa posted this on their website just an hour ago when it turned noon. TV version 1:24 Misa with Super Valk Eggplane.

[Bolt]

I like the Misa part . But the egg plane is just a Christmas tree ornament- 

[Papa Rat]

 Very cool. Also lol at Christmas ornament. That’s actually a great idea. I might do that. Haha

[Thom]

Wow, I' definitely get the Misa figure - and donate the egg plane to the bin!😁

I'm kinda more interested in these....

1/48 VF-19EF/A Isamu Special Macross Frontier

1/72 VF-25F Tornado Messiah Macross Frontier (Atmospheric Specification)

Are they rehashes of existing moulds? Yes. Was the Isamu Special already released in 1/72? Yes. Am I excited to have a 1/48 Isamu Special and a Hasegawa Tornado Messiah? YES.

Gives me a little fresh hope that they might do an Armored VF-25 or Armored VF-31 if they want to milk the base moulds as much as possible.

[Bolt]

I definitely need the Tornado !

That's the spirit!

Now I can feel safe leaving the Bandai in battroid, since I'll have the Hasegawa for fighter.

And big 1/48s are always cool. Though we need the YF-21, VF-1D, and VF-11 a lot more. Do we think VF-0 is too insanely big for 1/48?

[kajnrig]

Yeah, I'm definitely in for the Tornado Messiah. That's one less Bandai I'll have to track down (and fumble around with fragile parts).

And more 1/48 is always nice, I'll grab one just to make sure I have one. C'mooooon, VF-4...

How come Google translate says 'A 1/24 scale figure of Misa Hayase in her school uniform!'
That is a bridge uniform aint it??

I need them to re-issue the TV Quead...I missed it, and it isn't available anywhere I could find!

Probably because the Japanese school uniform looks like a sailor’s uniform. AI just can’t tell the difference I guess

The ad says "制服姿" - in her uniform.

Blame it on Google Translate's training data.  The ad definitely does not say 学校制服姿 (in her school uniform)! 🙄
