Instructions are up for HI-METAL R SCOPEDOG TURBO CUSTAM so release is immanent... I'm getting my first Hi-Metal R Scopedog tomorrow and have preordered the other two! Hope I'm not disappointed...🤗
-
@jenius Ok thanks! I guess they want to do more bigger and better things, But since the still completed the Vermilion Platoon they haven't dropped the S.D.F.M HM-R line yet!
-
So I take it that there are only two other destroys that Bandai released in HM-R ADR-04-MKX Destroyed Defender & MBR-07-MKII Destroyed Spartan with the SDR-04 Destroyed Phalanx & MBR-04 Destroyed Tomahawk still outstanding? wonder what's the hold up?
-
Yes it's nice! If Bandai does ever decide to do a DX Version it really would be massive...🤪
-
Reinforcement came today.... I thought it would be bigger!? 🤣
-
@Shawn Thanks for the pictures! When I first started collecting the 1:55 Takatoku's, I always was looking to get the VF1D. Since some of my 1:55 had a small rollup catalog showing the VF-1D as an upcoming release. So I think this might be an early prototype if it isn't a self made mockup!? It's kind of sad that the VF-1D never got released in 1:55 since it's one of the most prominent Valk's in the first two episodes...
-
Could you please download the pics from the VF-1D, Here in Germany, Yahoo Japan is blocked! Thanks
-
First Welcome to our forum! Sad that you're Ostrich was delivered with a broken tail fin, You might in the future use Mandrake in Japan since they check the model before it goes out! But it would probably be best to glue the tail fin.... If you are not used to doing this, I'm sure there there is a model group somewhere around you that can help! But like Anne says "Don't fall into the depth of despair" 🥵
-
Ah, @Shawn Having a bad weekend? 😂 I can understand somewhat about the size of the tail-fin, but honestly the DX version isn't all that bad! the wing lights would have been nice to mach the other Valk's... But what really bugs me about this Bird is that the went ahead and did the mold for the "Mech-guts" version and then just left it unpainted!? like WTF!? Although I did see that someone on FB did paint it, sadly I don't us FB so I wasn't able to download the pic... Ok found it picture from Atto Kempler FB account...
-
Yes, would be great getting all someday.... But I want all of these in 1:48 and these in Highmetal-R 🤪 And a Splatoon of Scopedogs to make it look good! 🤣
-
Who or where did you order from that it's taking so long?
-
Just ordered a HWR-00-MKII from mandrake! So it looks like I'm joining the HM-R side as well....🤪 Hope it comes in good condition!?
-
@tekering Thanks for the picture! Although this bird doesn't do it for me either...🤔
-
Thanks! I saw that @jenius reviewed some Takara's a couple of month ago which where the ones I had when I was younger.... Maybe he'll get some HM'R and let us know how they are!?
-
Since I hade some Scope Dogs when I was younger, I was wandering how good are the Hi-MetalR versions from Bandai? Are they worth collecting or is there something better out there?
-
Bandai 2002 Chunky Monkey reissue there where 7 different versions released between 2002/4 The one on the left is an old Takatoku/Bandai and the one on the right is the rerelease....

So a question for those like me hoping for a VF-1A or J Mass Production version, Would you prefer the lighter or darker version of this bird? The series wasn't very colour consistent back then, with pictures of darker or lighter brown versions... Since the original 1/55 Chunky Monkey was pretty dark, the High Metal R is light in comparison I do hope they do the Brown Thrusters/Feet on the DX version when they release it! What are you're thoughts on this?
-
I second that! 😉
-
Mandrake will probably be your best choice at the moment! you can get notification per email for the one you want! https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/list?keyword=dx chogokin&lang=en

Well we are almost there..... and you know what we say...
-
Although this year has been eventful with VF-1 releases, 3 for 2024. Its sad that other then the Ostrich we got basically two remakes and one was a fantasy model, this year could have been better! but at least it was better then 2022 where we got nothing at all! Hope they hit us with something at the Tamashii event on the 15th of November, Still think the Elintseeker might be next!? and then get back to releasing new stuff in 2025! 🤔I'm also hope full to eventually getting a Cannon Fodder sometime soon...
-
I honestly think they didn't think these things through in 1982-84, they just wanted to get the show with all the episodes needed out there! And could finish off the fine detail. Today you would do things differently since a lot of people have internet and can do some research to look things up. but a lot of mistakes with numbers, names, and small details where made back then.... Would have also thought that since it's the 40th Anna of D.Y.R.L. Bandai would have used it to finish off the Skull Squadron at least!? But the love to torture us! 😈
-
So according to this, the Macross Bandai DX Chogokin 1/48 VF-1J Valkyrie (Hikaru Ichijo) "Macross Since 1982" edition will be available on the 15th, of November and come in a red box...!?
