lechuck Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 YF-29 seems to be next in the new HG line. https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/1693968/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMBounty_Hunter Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Making this 1/100 just seems like spite. Sure Bandai's 1/72 line of Frontier and Delta stuff wasn't perfect, but it wasn't that bad either. This makes it look like they're just being super cheap about investing in large molds.

I think they’re hoping for a broader customer base. The 1/72 kits were aimed at more complex builders and the dx toys were for the collectors that didn’t mind spending a lot. These are aimed at the simple builder or younger kids that probably would easily break a transforming kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I appreciate the Plus products, as I really want a YF-21, but once that is done I want a VF-9 or a VF-3000 or a variable Glaug or something new. Someone get a Macross M3 license already. The game was horrible, but the designs were epic 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajnrig Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) I'm curious how this will compare to their old YF-29 fighter mode kits, proportions-wise. I also wonder if they'll release "itasha" versions of this that include updated markings that mirror those older kits.

505thAirborne Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 A YF-21 would have been a no brainer for my wallet not to mention that despite its non-popularity, a parts forming YF-21 would solve a lot of those Anime Magic transformation issues. This 29 & the YF-19 are a solid pass for me. Also @Shawn, I'm all on board with that M3 license! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hmm Bandai is just being a bit redundant with designs and hopping scales.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Suspect there is a big Frontier push coming in early 2023 for the MWW market, so they are getting things aligned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With delta series more or less done(?) having frontier picking up slack in macross merch would be a natural fit (popularity and bandai maybe being conservative in the current/future economic climate). Also until the next(?) macross series...wonder if kawamori-san would still be interested in continuing or passing the baton.. And if bandai would announce HMR for frontier.... so many questions!

sh9000 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'll buy the YF-29. I hope they release more Valkyries from different series for the HG line and bring some over to HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if they’re going to do the original stuff, but if not I’d like them to do the rest of the Macross Plus mecha. The VF-11, YF-21 and the armor from the intro would make me super happy.

Same here. I'm just sharing it. What I want is DX VF-31 Super Parts for Arad and Chuck and DX Elvis Draken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
