Gonna be cynical and say it’s blue cos bandai has the blue 29 also as a release option and, can save costs using the same blue paint...😆 Somebody in marketing was smoking something? 😅 This! The nose was bugging me too.. Gonna take the opposite side and say it might be hard to order(tho relatively much easier than the usual) on preorder day but maybe very easily available on release day and after..just because of the price and the lack(?) of a full set parts release like alto’s 29..

😆 It didn’t concern me before but I must admit it does a little to me now cos it’s more than a bit off. Maybe it won’t again if the official photos are fetching enough hahah... I need a CSI picture enhancement heheh...It was mentioned that it was an 0a and not an 0s at that time if I recall..doesn’t matter... My fools hope was and still is, to see the macross frontier HMR displayed next to it!!

The more I look at it, hmmm...the implementation of the design seems a bit lazy to me. Why blue or why just only blue on some parts? WWM is bugging me. Not so much the lettering but rather the vagueness(?). Should have put 40 or a kite emblem in there somewhere instead. I get why some folks are digging it. Skull emblem, check. Modern sleek design, check. Plus it looks similar to the macross the first valk design scheme somehow. Especially on the fuselage leading to wing areas.

Now i see the prototype pictures for the phalanx again, the missile door hinges and the red side bubble light are too large compared to the lineart.. lineart from the macross mecha manual site..

Bandai'ed!

If it’s a 2 pack, then you will have phalanx x8 also... Seeing the ‘&’ in the listing might mean a 2 pack.

A two HMR pack release would make sense...save the release slots for other stuff....

WWM? World Wide Macross? 🤷‍♂️

duuh bandai! why hide the pics when you already have a section for it?! https://tamashii.jp/item/13806/

Took a look at the source code of the page. Seems there is a description for.. DX CHOGOKIN VF-25 MESSIAH VALKYRIE WORLDWIDE Anniv. "DX超合金 VF-25メサイアバルキリー WORLDWIDE Anniv." Hmmmm....???

MacrossCoin needed to buy? 😃

Yes it could be Bandai is still teasing..haha... Still its nice to see a what a HMR VF-0S would look like...a picture finally, after TN2015, which had a mention of a HMR VF-0A instead.

In the translated form...From the OVA "Macross Zero", the VF-0S Phoenix on which Roy Focker has a prominent skull mark on the canopy cover and tail. Currently planning! In episode 27 of "The Super Dimension Fortress Macross", VF-1S Super Valkyrie on which Hikaru Ichijo rides is also in the process of acclaimed planning

Tomahawk seems still to be a tease at this moment...It doesn't appear on the new products page....where the 0S and 1S have their own boxes... https://tamashii-nation.tamashii.jp/station/debut/ oooh a HMR 0D would be nice too...

https://tamashii-nation.tamashii.jp/station/debut/ Mmmm.....DX new item is still unknown till tmr.... In fact there are 2unknown boxes for DX.... cmon.....YF-21! or...vf-11?! VF-25 WWM.

on the page it says planning for the VF-0S and booby duck, but not on the tomahawk! 😏😃

Hi-Metal R Macross line-up! https://tamashii-nation.tamashii.jp/station/macross/hi-metal-r/

WoooT HMR MACROSS ZERO!

HMR MACROSS NOT DEAD!!!!

Expect to teased more like it! 😄 Bandai be...

Haha this is bandai... i.e. memo to team: please add in vaporware.

reminder set! thanks noel.

Thanks, i think i have visited asgard-knight's site before when exploring 3d printing. On the scale front, if the prints can also scale-down for micro fleets, to sustain enough detail to avoid looking blob-like, then that may make it viable for toy companies to go full on with fleet releases. A 60-90cm long Nupetiet-Vergnitz toy release will definitely cost a bomb , so alternatively is to go down micro, but sample resolutions may suffer. More for a discussion in the modelling workshop threads i think. Back to bandai, maybe a while till we see zentran fleet toy releases..

Cool, thats one approach to scratch the itch. What scale are they meant for? Any links? 🤣🤣🤧
