I would really like to see the VF-0B and VF-0C that the Variable Master File says were produced for the UNS Marines. I think that all the versions of both the VF-0 and SV-51 would make great Hi-Metal R Macross jets! Twich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) SV-51 would be a no brainer insta grab. Canon fodders would sell out. Edited December 6, 2022 by Bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only sticky point would be how they would do the wings and what method they use to make the wings stiff and not floppy. Also, bandai would have to only have permanently attached wings, dont know how they could make removable wings for that, unless they do flat wings, wings with wing boosters and then the articulated wings that are molded that way. Either way, as one of the biggest variable fighters out there, it would be a giant box if they include the accessories that they should.

Bolt Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 The engineering would have to be impressive, for sure ( can you imagine an SV-262 HMR?) One would hope Bandai wouldn't choke on an SV-51 HMR. But they kinda need one now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard that before Wouldn't Hasegawa have consulted him too? They give very different paint colors. Right out of his Artistry of Macross book. No idea how Hase conducts their business.

Those in Frontier or Delta doesn't seem to be.. Treatment-wise, I think it is. The production of the Zero is higher because it's a limited OAV episode release compared to a regular production series. Frontier/Delta only showed 'weathered' when the Valks gets hit upon returning to the hangar or for a 'focus shot' at the end of each battle. Most of the time, it's a clean out of the factory color renders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time, it's a clean out of the factory color renders. Perhaps there are fly-through jet wash & wax tech by Frontier’s timeline onwards. But yeah Zero has such a lengthy production time. Budget non withstanding, they could add as many details as they wanted, and now thinking of it, it’s kinda crazy to wait half a year for each short episode to release, especially in today’s world of whole season dump in streaming.

Chronocidal Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) BANDAI. WTF. MAKE UP YOUR FREAKIN' MINDS ALREADY. Are we really doing this level of insane BS now?? Are you going to backtrack and make everyone rebuy everything again just to get white landing gear? Seriously, I'm getting at least two of these just so I have a spare set of white gear for my Roy. At least with the HMRs the gear have always been removable anyway, so they're easy to redo, but my brain hurts.

Tking22 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I hope this gets a US release, BBTS usually has a markup but for me the convenience and low shipping costs offset that, I love grabbing as much as I can these days at one webshop.

We’re in luck. The Tamashii Nations site lists the 0D as a worldwide offering. https://tamashiiweb.com/item_brand/hi-metal_r/?wovn=en I expect US stores will have it up for pre-order like they did the 0S, but a little later than the Japanese stores.

Anasazi37 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Very glad to see this. I was getting depressed after the "Genius" VF-0S was announced earlier this week. Didn't think we'd see something canon until maybe next year since lately Bandai seems to be either inventing terrible paint schemes or completely ruining good ones that already exist (I'm looking at you, DX Angel Birds).
