Graham Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 The 1/72 HCM VF-1S was my second ever Macross toy, back in 1986 IIRC. Great toy, althogh care needs to be taken with the head lasers when transforming, as they are usually very tight to move. Graham Quote
P.W.Royce Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 That's awesome. Everyone seems to be very interested in classic Macross toys lately. Backlash from all the new Yamato offerings lately? Quote

zeo-mare Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 hi Solscud007 do you have any more pics of it? i was wondering maybe if you had any action poses, i want to pick one up but i was wondering if it is really all that poseable. chris Quote

It isnt all that poseable. it has a smidgeon better poseability than a 1/55. Like the wrists can rotate. the upper arms can rotate. (however the lower arm and upper arm joint, where the elbow is, the arms dont bend 90 degrees. The legs have a bit more room to do the chicken wallk in gerwalk mode. And the feet are similar to 1/60 scale where they can open and pivot. also the hips have ball joints to spread apart in the "A" stance. look at the pics. Quote
zeo-mare Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 thanks so very much, one last thing how tall are these? chris Quote
Solscud007 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Posted March 17, 2006 thanks so very much, one last thing how tall are these?chris 381356[/snapback] like about 6 inches. think of the hase battroid. Quote
rnurmin Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Can you display it next to a Konig Monster? Quote

The nostalgic apeal of classic toys can never realy be matched by new releases. I would own more of them if I could. The hands are realy great, I had no idea the HCM had hands like that. Quote
Solscud007 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 ok its not the monster but It hink this is better. 1/72 Yamato YF-19 instead Quote
Chet Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 That's a great shot of the two mecha. It's also one of the strongest arguuments for why we'll probably never see 1:48 scale Macross Plus mecha. Quote
Graham Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 I have to cringe now when I look at the Yamato YF-19. Graham Quote

GobotFool Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 I have to cringe now when I look at the Yamato YF-19.Graham 382086[/snapback] Why's that Graham? 382207[/snapback] Because it's ugly and liquidstone did it so much better. Quote
P.W.Royce Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 I have to cringe now when I look at the Yamato YF-19.Graham 382086[/snapback] Or because he knows something we don't. Quote

GobotFool Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 I just got to add, for all the people who complained about the well endowed nature of the 1/48 in batroid mode, all you have to do is look at the HCM and see that it's nose cone hangs down almost as much. Quote

Chet Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 So how much do these HCM's go for nowadays? Can unopened and complete pieces still be found? Quote
jenius Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I got an opened one that looked like it had been removed maybe once (VF-1J) for $200 (everything still on sprue). I've seen VF-1As in the same shape go for about $150. I've now heard of 2 members who have found very decent VF-1As for as low as $100. Quote
P.W.Royce Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Does anyone know what the original release numbers were on the HCM? Probably lower than most Bandai toys given their "colectable" nature. A local toy shop has a Gundam HCM for sale, I can't remember what series it was from. What other properties were given the HCM treatment? Quote

Dougram was never in the HCM line. The Dougram series that you refered to should be the Dual Model produced by Takara. Quote
