sh9000 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I'm still on the fence on starting a new line. But the whites on M&M's packs looks lovely. Might be my first HM-R's... but then again. You can do it. Quote
jenius Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 The problem is you see the white at the backs of the leg packs on Milia's Red valk so it isn't just lighting, however there's a scene inbetween those two that shows the missile and leg packs being all a single Blue or Red color. The White at the back of the leg packs does balance against the white on the missile portions on the backpack though. Are you saying the problem is the animation? Maybe it's like the YF1R from Robotech... but like I said, I don't have a problem with it. Quote
vlenhoff Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I do agree, they are basing this on an animation cel painting error. I am speechless. Quote
Garfinkel Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 They may be my first HMR, i like the colour on the fast packs. That said i prefer the colours yamato used. I was waiting for the wallet destruction gifs to turn up. Quote
easnoddy Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 image.jpeg image.jpeg I'll take it! Awesome find! What ep is that? Quote
derex3592 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Frankly, I've always hated the color Yamato chose for ALL the Super/Strike and GPB armor. So hey, if Bandai wants to go super light grey--more power to them. If I had nothing but money and time I would re-buy and re-paint all the Yamato 1:60 Super Parts and GPB armor a Neutral Grey. Quote
Raya1823 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Cool M & M as HM-r, now I just see if they'll fit. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Bandai is going the VF-1J "chest stripes" route with the color schemes on the M&M Super VF-1J's....it's Bandai's time honored tradition to keep repeating the same mistake until it is (hopefully) widely accepted as canon! Repeating the mistake on both the HMR Max and Milia this time around will give the paint scheme more street cred..... And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth.... - Galaldriel Edited June 23, 2016 by jvmacross Quote

arbit Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 From the Tamashii images, I really can't tell if Max parts are white or off-white. They even have a blue tinge, probably from the lighting reflecting off the blue body paint. Quote
jvmacross Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 What's wrong with the chest stripe? Exactly! Quote
Big s Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 From the sdfm was animated that one cel might be the correct one and the rest were the mistakes. The colors on everything flip flopped so much it gets difficult to determine mistakes vs cannon. Either way it's different from what I grew up with thinking, but it's growing on me day to day. Quote
technoblue Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 What's wrong with the chest stripe? Exactly! Not Max & Milia's, but Hikaru's 1J. At least, the assumption is that Bandai hasn't fixed the angles of the chest stripe based on the marketing photos. I guess we'll know definitively when it shows up in October. Quote
General Rasp Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I am hoping Bandai includes the strike cannon with the super packs. I would like to see a light gray/white cannon on a VF-1. I have always like the strike packs more than the super packs. Quote
nuwatc Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) picture of Hikaru VF-1J on Tamashii web page has been changed to correct the chest stripes http://tamashii.jp/item/11427/ Edited June 24, 2016 by nuwatc Quote
barurutor Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 a bad photoshop, and pic #6 contains the old version stripes more reason to get this even if you have the GBP-1S 1J already, I guess. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Holy f***ing crap, did Bandai actually fix one of their screwups? I'm speechless. Quote
technoblue Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 picture of Hikaru VF-1J on Tamashii web page has been changed to correct the chest stripes http://tamashii.jp/item/11427/ HaHa! Speak of the devil. That was unexpected, but a cool find. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Glad to know it'll be fixed on the one I bought then, I don't know why it took them this long to figure it out. The white boosters? Honestly don't bug me. It's the leg packs that do, because.. "Oh, I'm bored, here, let's make this random panel white for no particular reason." It just looks out of place, unnecessary, and mismatched. At least the packs on the backs of the legs and the new colored arm parts match. A white stripe down the side of the leg would have at least matched the scheme. If they're going to keep that kind of nonsense up, I demand repaints of all the mis-painted valks seen during Max and Millia's wedding episode. Quote
jenius Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Brexit is going to hammer the exchange rate. HMRs just got a wee bit more expensive everybody! Quote
aaajin Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Just paid for my 4 x 1/72 kits...cant believe how USD/Yen rate changes in one day! Shouldve paid when I received the notification earlier today. before Brexit poll...sigh... Quote
Big s Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Alright so they fixed the stripe, now they need to resize the pilot. Then again Hikaru did look a bit smaller in the series.😏 Quote

ZorClone Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 So, per that video, that means a new 1J GBP release is up the road still? oh, also, HLJ has ordering available on the CF and Monster Quote
Sandman Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 I really wish a regult would come back in stock. really regret not geting a second one (or a third, fourth....) Quote
sh9000 Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 The Regult is in stock at NY, Mykombini, and Anime-Export but not for $50. I regret not getting my fourteenth and fifthteenth. That was a good price. Quote
