The Scout was probably not at the top of many people’s lists (mine included), but still very exciting to see it potentially get made. Also seems logical for Bandai, since they can reuse the leg molds from the standard Regult.
And count me as another one who would rather see a proper TV Roy instead of a reissue.
I see their photos of the stands holding an HMR VF-1 wth super parts, but I think I’d be a little nervous doing that. Haven’t people had some trouble in the past with similar arms from Tamashii failing?
Best color in my opinion would be the light tan from the anime, but at this point, I would take a Tomahawk in just about any color that Bandai decided to release, even that purple-gray that they teased earlier.
Congrats to all who were able to score a Max. Based on pics here, he’s looking great. It will nice once Bandai decides to release Kakizaki and Roy to round out the TV team.
Very cool! On the bottom of the right hand page, that appears to be the VF-1SOL-S design from the Super Famicom game. It says "scramble valkyrie" above the image, and the year matches the year the game came out. I recall there being some debate as to whether or not Kawamori was actually responsible for that design.
Agreed, but that’s not saying much...
This will be a pass for me, but I am glad to see the line still going. Maybe this will help some get a VF-4 that missed the first one.
It does seem like they are trying to do one of each VF-1 variant to start, so according to that logic a 1D would make sense.
I'm just waiting for the inevitable VF-1S Focker, hoping it's a TV version...
Mandarake has a Hi Metal 1/100 Super Parts set in stock, if anyone is interested:

Don’t you mean “Kyuun, kyuun, kyuun, kyuun”?
They didn’t, to my knowledge. I think @Kinzoku VF meant that they were re-starting on building a line at a new scale.
All those boxes look great together. Seems the only one you're missing is the VF-1S Messer (which is skippable, in my opinion).
If we're talking future releases, my top most wanted would be:
1. Tomahawk
2. VF-1A Max
3. VF-1S Roy/Hikaru TV version
4. Q-Rau TV version
5. VF-1A Armored
Nice combo, @sh9000. Agreed that the TV color works much better.
Even though they were originally intended for DYRL, I typically only put the HM green packs on TV valks. My DYRL valks get HMR blue packs.
I’m ready, though I may just get the orange 03 for my 1D.
I’m wondering if the blue 02 might look good for Max. Not quite the right shade, but might still work.
Seconded. 130 is about double the original MSRP. I know they’ve become more valuable, but I think you could get one for 8000-9000 yen via Mandarake eventually.
@kyekye - That is a great looking stand!
