I finally was able to get around to opening my VF-1J. For the scale it's OK. It's no replacement for a Yamato/Arcadia 1/60. There's only so much you can do going dowm in scale like this. Personally, I feel the HMR line is worth collecting. I'm not so worried about handling it and transforming it since they are lower cost. I like that we are getting enemy mecha. And, due to the price, I feel like I can collect the entire line. With the Arcadia stuff I have to be selective and pick only my most favorite(s). I'm definitely happy to have both scales in my collection.

LOL! What?!

I sure hope there's room in the market for as many companies as possible that want to make Macross toys. Except anything licensed to HG.

You know, if it was socially acceptable I'd drape my valks in velvet! Awesome pics. THanks for sharing.

Holy guacamole! Seriously? Can I come over to your house and play?

Ah ha! You're a Zentradi spy. I knew it!

It kind of looks like Kakizaki is trying to fend off Breetai by farting in his general direction. It's either a fart or Kakizaki is trying to make a little kaki on Breetai's zaki.

No way Jose! I'm just wanting to change out my Detolf. I've had it on display for about a year. My 1/48 VF-1S just now started to show a little yellowing. I tried to be careful about placing my Detolf away from any direct sunlight. I'm still worried about aging even in the dark corner of my formal living room. I want to keep all my holy grail toys either boxed up or up in my toy room which sees virtually no daylight and only occasionally some regular bulb light.Realistically, I don't think I'll buy a 1/1800. I'm thinking it will be very expensive, and frankly I'm quite pleased with the 1/3000 scale. Of course never say never. I'm mean what if it's loaded with lights and cool gimmicks. Even still I would keep both in my collection.

I know right?! I'm really excited about the stands as well. He just needs a few minutes to recover. He just fired his cannon, and he's spent.

That's a coincidence. I was just going to put mine away this evening. I'll be sure to watch out and not have the same issue as you.

Are you referring to the pic in this thread of the Yamato kit poking fun that it's going down the toilet or a pic posted from the Tamashii Nations display? Just checking

You just made SH Figurarts Breetai shed a tear. What is he, chopped liver?

Is the launch arm something that will be sold, I wonder?

I'm still expecting to wake up soon. I know I've had dreams just like this.

Heck I would have bought some, even though they don't look that great. Better than the vintage figures I have.

What does the info card say? All the other stuff shown are all toys, but they had the specific line it falls under: Hi-Metal R, SH FigureArts, DX Chogokin, etc. The SDF-1 only has something written in Japanese.

My only worry is that they'll decide to not make something based on votes, which is a real possibility.

I know I'm still keeping my large scale versions of the HMR valks. I generally never sell any Macross, Gunbuster, or Lego toys. That has really been my collecting focus for years. The problem is there so much other cool stuff that comes up that steers me away from my dark master that is Macross.

I think those are key chains if Google translate did it's job correctly.Don't forget Britai is also coming it seems. A strange first choice for a DYRL character, but a welcome one.

I dropped my preorder before this tease. I mean it was teased before with the vf100 line, but Bandai seems to be doing it right this time. There seems to be strong support for the HMR line. So, maybe, it will eventually lead to a VF-2SS someday.

What's confusing? He simply mentions that it was teased that they are possible releases. Doesn't look like it's confirmed. The links look like they are simply there to give general info on the anime in case someone didn't know what Macros II is.

So where did that info come from? They made it up? It seems nothing is confirmed, but it was mentioned as a possibility according to the article.

Given the recent news in the Hi-Metal R line we just may find out how Bandai will do the vf-4 and vf-2ss. I am curious to know as well.

So in this Web article I got from the thread dedicated to the 1/1800 sdf-1 it mentions the VF-2SS with SAP and VF-0A for the HMR line. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-10-29/bandai-teases-giant-26-inch-sdf-1-macross-14-inch-vf-1-valkyrie-toys/.94775

OMG! (head explodes) Fully articulated Macross action figures! Please let there be all the Macross characters. Am I dreaming? I'm dreaming, right? All this stuff are things we all wished for!
