My Glaug is going with this!

Party like it's 3025!

I finally got the shipping notification from AmiAmi. Now begins the stage of pondering transcontinental air mail flight time plus a US holiday weekend.

The HMR destroids are so much tinier than I thought...

Your HMR Armored VF-1J looks like he has a smiley face on his abs haha :)

I hope the HMR Destroids aren't 'quite' 1/100. If they are they'll be tiny.

Its hard to tell the HM-R Destroids scale from the Tamashii diorama. But I compared the Monster, and the final version was spot on with the Diorama. So I think they had these planned way in advance.

Bandai will make the Destroids scale well with everything else.

Hello All,

I have a question for the forum. I just heard that Bandai is going to re-release the Hi-metal R valkryies that were released over the past few months (e.g. vf-1a and vf-1s) with the integrated landing gear and a fuselage with a removable pilot. Has anyone else heard this as well? This would really suck as I have a small fortune invested in these models. I imagine others would be pissed as well as these upgrades were requested when the hi-metal line was originally released in 2010.

Where did you hear this? Personally, I'd love an HM-R-R. Make the gun no longer require disassembly before mounting to the Fighter mode... the less greebles the better!!!

More importantly, can I remove the Glaug arms and put them on my regult?

That's not canon.

It's not canon per se but maybe Jenius wants to do it for review purposes if anyone wants to reconfigure theirs like the ones featured in Delta series. ;)

A 3.75" figure might fit this time around if the legs are removed.

My transformer guy probably could fit. It fit inside the regult. I posted the pic a while back

It looks like the standard production VF-1A has a couple of cool features... TV & DYRL heads and hands, TV & DYRL pilots, and new chest.

/shoulder covers for battroid mode.

hadn't seen the chest cover pieces before...looks even better now! Would be nice of Bandai to offer those for the other VF-1's released so far, perhaps in some future mail-in bundle....

ooooh, recast time when I get mine :p (but won't sell any since that'd be bad bad)

I had the same thought. Those covers look sweet! I wonder if the M&Ms will include them also.

Nevermind about the Destroids being too small. I've forgot those Spartan pics. Can't wait for the Destroids.

Yep! In Bandai's universe... the TV pilots are smaller.

So... is Bandai just sticking to the mold or would they contend that the cockpit looked bigger in the TV show than it did in DYRL so, therefor, they make bigger pilots for DYRL releases?
