Hi-Metal R Vermillion Platoon TV VF-1A Max, VF-1A Kakizaki, and VF-1J Hikaru

[sh9000]

It will be interesting if these 3 are sold together or individually and if they will be TWE or regular release.

With so many in coming I just wonder which ones will be TWE.

[Drad]

TV Roy still to come, I hope.

[sh9000]

More information on 5/19.  If it is indeed a 3 pack then it would make it easier to secure Kakizaki and Max all at once.

[Convectuoso]

Colors look too dark. I hope the final release looks closer to the prototypes shown before

[jvmacross]

Nice....and once again the poor Tomahawk and Phalanx get pushed further back from a release date....although I'd gladly keep waiting if Bandai releases a TV  Q-Rau Milia-Use to match up against that TV VF-1A Max Use...

Red Hikaru and brown pedestal is included in the VF-1A kaki release....

VF-1A TV Max releasing in November and Kakizaki releasing in October.  TWE.  9900 JPY each.

[Lolicon]

Bandai might actually finish a squadron? I'll believe it when I have them in hand.

In for 2 or 3 of VF-1A TV Max and 2 or 3 of VF-1A TV Kakizaki.

I haven't seen the OG series in decades so I'm not sure how dark Kakizaki's 1A should really be anymore.

[sh9000]

I'm happy to add more releses to the HMR collection.  I like the HMR VF-1.

Thanks. I was in doubt. That puts me out, on the bright side it is sleeping early for me tonight 😂

How does P-Bandai work?

Anywhere I click takes me to the same page

The actual P-Bandai purchase page is geofenced to JP IPs only. You have to use a proxy to buy, or selected web stores that carry it at a mark-up like Anime Export or Nin-Nin.   

[Convectuoso]

Thanks. I'll try a proxy

[sh9000]

Ordered 2 of each.  I'll decide to order a 3rd of each later.  Good night.

This might be the most reasonable thing Bandai has ever done.   Good way to sell Kakizaki too.

Will definitely grab at least one of each from the usual vendors, once they pop.  Maybe two.  We'll have to see.  

[sh9000]

Just woke up to order my 3rd Max and Kakizaki.  Can't wait to receive them all.

 

[Convectuoso]

Ordered 1 of each through a Proxy. Thinking of securing two more, just in case

Kaki's brown and white 1A needs a 'lil marketing' boost...which makes me think if bandai will ever see the possibility of a DX kaki release...

[Convectuoso]

The colors look way better. They were too dark on the promo pics

[sh9000]

Looking forward to receiving them.  I'm tempted to get a spare to convert to an Alaska Base VF-1A.

[Chronocidal]

Looks like they're keeping consistent with the canopies in this most recent TV run.  Those all look like the same canopy that came with the Super-Packed Hikaru 1S, and the new Armored 1J.

Yeah, I might need doubles of those (or more) when they come out, just for the extra matching canopies, missiles, and stands.  Having a second Max 1A for battroid, posed with a theoretical Q-Rau would be awesome.

These are reminding me of a lower tier (read cheaper HMR and less light control, - and not that its bad😉) @Saburo photoshoot shots! 

[sh9000]

There are so many cool poses I've done with the DX VF-1A TV Max that I can't wait to do again with the HMR VF-1A TV Max.

Well, the HMR VF-1 line is just a smaller, crappier, and more expensive copy of what Yamato did years ago.
