    Happy to report that there were NO QC ISSUES FOUND! Even the usually jumpy tailfins stays flipped in place all the time and the tiny backwing-tabs actually stay tabbed-in properly now! These tiny backwing-tabs don't ever stay tabbed-in with my TC and my WalWarp. Important note: Everything is pretty tight. Especially the Legs. So, try not to get scared or discouraged, but do try to be a bit mindful of the tightness when extending during transformations. The QC on this Screamer is surprisingly pretty good! It is not perfect, tho. Yes. There are some flashes and stuff on the red plastic of the chest-area. You can see it on my pics. However, it's quite minor and irrelevant to me since I'm used to it even from SOCs and stuff. Other than that, great job, Hasbro! At any rate... :hail:

    I don't get what you're saying. Jenius explained that since the Frontier valks are pretty much from the same chassis, it should all be the same height in battroid-mode, whether in specs or eye-level toys. Therefore, Bandai's using the chassis for their toys. Nobody seems to know the specs for the VF-19Advanced. The Yamato valks are expected to have differences in height since they all don't share the same chassis, with the exception of the YF-21 and VF-22. Ergo, Yamato cannot use the same chassis for their toys unless they're from the same variant. Like Jenius said, it might be just the ankles or something.

    I don't have any DX Chogokins, but are you saying the VF-171, VF-25/27, YF-29/30, VF-19Advanced all have of the same height specs in battroid mode?

    Thanks, man. I won't have my HM-R until maybe next week to do it myself, but these should at least give us some ideas about it.

    It is a known standard practice of Bandai. Plenty of us have been complaining about it since they seem to do it regularly on all their lines (SRC, Damashii, Soul of Chogokins, Figuarts, MonsterArtsetc, etc). It's frustrating as heck. Well, some buyers just buy it at such prices to scalp re-sell it later at a much higher pricing. The secondary market for Macross stuff seems to be very very lucractive...

    I reckon you'll just have to check the actual official specs (sizes and all) for these respective valks. Then you can prolly correlate why a YF-19 or YF-21/VF-22 is bigger or smaller than a VF-1 or VF-17.

    Oh, geezus. You're barking at the wrong tree here. The HeavyArms and Sandrock options are simply _OPTIONS_ to make them season-1. They were also like around 1500y. You _don't_ have to buy it. They are totally _un-needed_ and _un-necessary_, like every RD-options. That's why it particularly shelfwarmed and still shelfwarming. Somebody else is scalping it, but you would do well NOT to get it at all.

    btw, does anyone else here have the old Revoltech Regults and can take some pics to show how it scales with the HM-R VF-1J (or any of the old HMs)? thanks.

    The Regult does not transform, either...

    I can only hope and wish that this Regult goes down in pricing quickly like their recent SRC God Sigma. Bandai overpriced that SRC at 7500y a few months ago, but you can get it now for under 3000y. Amazon even has it under $28 now.

    The relevancy to this topic is that Bandai is overpricing this line compared to their other lines. It's more expensive than the SRCs and it doesn't even have significant metal-content or hard-plastic content like the SRCs.This HM-R line seems to be pretty much on par with the plastic content of the Damashii line, and yet the Damashii's are significantly way cheaper than this line. fwiw, Bandai makes and sell even more obscure robots than the Regult in their SRC line...

    It will be simply idiotic to compare this line to Arcadia, so that's a non-starter. I reckon you have no idea about the Super Robot Chogokins and Robot Damashii/Robot Spirits lines from Bandai, but maybe you should start. They are both quite a better value and quite cheaper than the HM-R.

    Wait, what? Since when any other valks supposed to be the same height as the VF-1 in battroid mode?

    Bandai DX-Chogokin is non-scale.

    treatment replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Nah. I'll be good with just one if I can even get it at a lower preorder-pricing. 6800y is just too much for it. I rather get some SRCs or some Robot Damashii stuff instead. Prolly Bandai's plan all along to steer fans away from it and into their other lines by just overpricing the HM-R line...

    treatment replied to joppewo's topic in Toys

    Well, that sucks. I was hoping it'll be around 3000y msrp only due to the simplicity of it, but 6800y is quite steep to do army-building with it.

    Charles/OptimusPrimeSG usually reviews Soul of Chogokins and metal Gundams, but he recently posted his video-reviews of this HM-R. Two parts. part-1: https://youtu.be/URWobIGKiOQ part-2: https://youtu.be/Pv3vKX6E2Is Enjoy.
