Test_Pilot_2 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Has anyone paint-matched the gray on the Hikaru? I've managed to chip a tiny little bit near the corner of an intake and it's driving me insane. No one else can see it, but every time I look at the figure... It's like the mole moment from Austin Powers... I must touch it up, for great justice! Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Yes likely Destroids my guess the Spartan but who knows? Need to see an official press release. Quote
Big s Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 If it goes by the voting list, I think it was either the m&m 1j supers or the tomahawk next. I'll have to look back at the list. Either way we'll probably get news next month. The standard releases apear to be one a month, but those 1js are just recolored so they may get released at the same time. The preorders on normal releases so far come up every 2 months also, but overlapping the release tims. So probably one will come up for preorder in a couple of weeks if they stick to the pattern.

sh9000 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 10 Defender 9 Nousjadeul-Ger 8 Spartan 7 VF-1J Armored Valkyrie (TV) 6 VE-1 5 Q-Rau (TV) 4 Tomahawk 3 VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Millia ver.) 2 VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Max ver.) 1 Monster Yep Max and Milia next if the releases correspond to the voting list. I'll definitely buy everything there, maybe even the Armored VF-1J if the colors are significantly different. Quote
TheFallen Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Is there a lot of colour difference between VF-1J Armored Valkyrie and VF-1J Armored Valkyrie (TV)? Quote
jenius Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 We won't know until Bandai does a TV version. I suspect the 1J will be white and the GBP brighter. Pilot will be Hikaru. In reality they look pretty much the same except for the missile tops which Bandai should have painted yellow. Quote
Petrov27 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Apologies, late to this discussion - is the "voting list" an official thing done by Bandai? Quote
yman1437 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Has anyone taken pic of robot spirit quedlunn with the hmr line? Quote

sh9000 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) I'll buy 3 Defenders, 2 Nousjadel-Gers, 3 Spartans, 2 Q-Raus, and 3 Tomahawks. Also 3 Phalanxs and 1 of each of everything else on the list and not on the list. Edited March 23, 2016 by sh9000 Quote

Also 3 Phalanxs and 1 of each of everything else on the list and not on the list. I wish more people are like you. Support Macross in general! And maybe Bandai will reissue the 1/55 VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valkyrie. Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I wish more people are like you. Support Macross in general! And maybe Bandai will reissue the 1/55 VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valkyrie. One day perhaps, I wouldn't mind having another one! Quote
sh9000 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Bandai should continue their 1/55 Origin of Valkyrie line. Maybe someday. I want a minty new Strike Valkyrie, VE-1, VT-1, GBP, and any VF-1 variants they can milk with the mold. Back to the HMR topic, I hope Bandai makes as many HMR VF-1 variants.

sh9000 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 That's an awesome pic. Looks like at least the torso of a figure can fit in the HMR Glaug. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The Regult is available at Hobby Search. Ordered 2 more. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10349684 Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I would love to buy 2 more myself but I'm saving my money to get at least 1 of each from the rest the lineup. I'm interested in seeing the VF-1A mass production variant. Even for canon fodder old Brownie is visually appealing. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) It will be cool to have some VF-1A CF's displayed with Regults. I think I'll buy at least 5 to 10 VF-1A CF's. Edited March 23, 2016 by sh9000 Quote
derex3592 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The only thing I want on that list is the Nousjadeul-Ger. Funny, that's the one Hi Metal I don't care about getting. Never liked it. I DO wish they would do a Gnerl though! Quote
sh9000 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I'll be needing the Nousjadel-Gers to fill in the DYRL enemy mecha collection. Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Nousadel-Ger are awesome. At least the movie versions were. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Checky avatar to see my favorite enemy mecha! Quote
microtree33 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves the Nous-Ger. Hoping for a DYRL version first, but I'd buy any and all Bandai puts out (would love to see the MC2 version someday). The DYRL one shown in the HM-R dioramas appears to be semi-articulated so hopefully the wait will be fairly short, maybe the PO will go up later this year. While it hasn't been on screen in years, all of the other Zentraedi mecha have already made an appearance in Macross Delta, so we just might get to see the Nous in action again. Quote
jenius Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted my HMR Regult video review tonight. Click the link in my sig to head over to my channel and check it out. I don't think there will be any surprises... Quote
SuperSenpai Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Jenius, I noticed you put up a new video review for the original Hi-Metal toys. Are you planning to re-do other videos for your older reviews? Quote
jenius Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Jenius, I noticed you put up a new video review for the original Hi-Metal toys. Are you planning to re-do other videos for your older reviews? Yes, definitely. If I pull a toy out for comparisons and realize it was one of my standard definition reviews and I didn't have the benefit of knowing more how the line would work out I'll try to put together a more informational review in HD. Next review will definitely be the HMR VF 1J with GBP. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Because Optimus Prime is in BattleTech. Edited March 25, 2016 by sh9000 Quote
jenius Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I'm sure Tommy Yune is working on the Transformers Robotech crossover now. Like Hasbro would ever let that happen. Edited March 25, 2016 by jenius Quote
