Expand It came out mid 90’s herein the U.S., oddly enough I saw this before actually seeing the original since I had to find a bootleg sub of the old one. I think it was 5 or six episodes Quote
Big s Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 I kinda worded that strangely up above. I meant that it came to the U.S. around then, not that it was made here. It would show up on those previews right before the movie on the vhs tapes back in the day. It was back when tapes were still kinda popular and this one was fairly easy to find back then. In the 80’s my brother and I had a few of the old school toys that made it stateside, but didn’t know anything about the show. When I saw orgus 2 I needed to find the og stuff. A few years later dvds were big and found a bootleg. Good times. I think the official dvd didn’t make it here until more than a decade after that , so I bought that as well. I haven’t watched orgus 2 in years, not since I had an actual vhs player. I don’t really remember much from it Quote

Expand I actually just got the US BD from amzn. It went down to $40 or something last week, so I finally snagged it. I'm only a few episodes in, but the video seems very very nice and very clean. From hazy memory, this Orguss US-BD's video quality reproduction seems much cleaner than the Voltes V and Kimagure Orange Road US-BD releases I have from Discotek. I will have to do a re-watch on those two titles just to properly verify, tho. Quote
MKT Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Always sort of regretted passing on the Megahouse Hi-Spec releases. So definitely will be getting the HMR version.. Quote
Big s Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 That looks really awesome. Wonder if they’ll do that orgus Valkyrie since they have the license for both under the same toy line Quote

Bandai only appear to do canon schemes and that valk technically is. Quote
technoblue Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Nice. HMR Orguss is promising, especially if we get more vehicles from the show this time out. Quote

Shawn Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Ditto! I regret not getting those and now the are $400 each...way out of budget Look forward to these! Quote
F-ZeroOne Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Would be nice if they bought back the M-Lovers. Despite the Takatokus notoriously fragile reputation, mine once fell off a table and survived, but the silver plastic that holds one of the fists is crumbling... Quote

I don't mind getting HMR Orguss line as long that they will do Bronco II, Nikick, M.Lovers, Ishkicks, Ishfon, Drifand Dal, Drifand Dee, as well. Hope I'm not asking too much. Quote
sh9000 Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Looking forward to getting this and any other HMR Orguss releases. If Bandai is continuing to expand with more anime series I would love HMR Dorvack. Quote
lechuck Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 So any guesses as to the size/scale is this Orguss? Quote

Expand Assuming that the figure shown is close or near to standard HMR figures based on the stand used. (FYI: I used the bolt and nut section of the stand joint as a reference to compare it with a VF-1 on a Tamashii Stand.) Best guess would be if the figure ends up at 14.5cm, it's 1/60. If it's 12cm, it's 1/72. Orguss official height is 8.7m. Hope that helps. Quote

Hopefully we get a Nikick to go along with the Orguss, but seeing that the Dragonar stuff didn't yield a Falguen, I'm not holding my breath. Quote
mark-1s Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 Super, SUPER excited for this! I hope to see the Nikick, and the other mechs soon to follow. Quote
Chronocidal Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 Does it come with a pack of buns for the hotdogs it's carrying under the wings? Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted November 21, 2022 Posted November 21, 2022 I really hope they release this as a 1/60 scale. It would be a bit larger than the 1/100ish VF-1. Quote

nightmareB4macross Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Good Lord!! Look at all that fine articulation that going to go on with that shoulder alone. If all goes well maybe we could also get Nikick (CF version included). Dreams.😊 Quote
no3Ljm Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 I made this comparison image of ORGUSS from the previous Variable Action Hi-Spec CAD Drawing and the recent released Hi-Metal R CAD Drawing. I have and love the Hi-Spec figure. But I have to admit after seeing the HMR's CAD Drawing, I like the proportion of this version more. It's chunkier and somehow it's somewhere in the middle of the old Takatoku figure and the artwork of Takani Sensei. I'm really looking forward to have one and hopefully this time around Hi-Metal R will not stop on just the Orguss figures. Quote
lechuck Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 The Hi-Spec toy looks softer and more rounded compared to the HMR with its stronger edges and angles. What was the size of the Orguroid from MegaHouse? I remember wanting to have one, but back then it felt too pricey for me. Quote
