ScrambledValkyrie Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Thanks for the additional photos, @seti88 Nice to see the articulation on the missile pods, and it also helps confirm that a stand is included for each Regult. I'm glad I PO'd this. Quote
Duymon Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 too bad it's just regular stands and not those zentradi ship stands we saw in some of the promos Quote
HardlyNever Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I'm glad they are including the little turret. They could be super cheapskates and only give you the missile pods, and make you buy more of the original release if you wanted more "standard" regults, but no, they throw in that extra little bit if you want to have all "standard" regults for a while. I appreciate little things like that. On a side note, does anyone know if those zentradi markings have any meaning, or are specific to those type of missile pods? Like is the "uf" looking marking specific to the light missile pod regult? I know that's what it shows in the line-art(and that is what they are basing these off of), but does it show up in the tv series like that? I recently just re-watched it, and can't say I noticed one way or another. Might be an interesting little tidbit if those markings were specifically related to the weapon attachments a regult has.

Hell, they were lucky if they were colored! Their production methods didn't allow for such detail. Macross was an incredible accomplishment for early '80s TV anime... ...but it's still early '80s TV anime. Quote

Expand Yeah, the vast majority of cells have way less detail than any of the toys, but there are always those few shots like this: That are much higher detail than the standard animated scene. I was just wondering if any of the veterans that have watched 50+ times and know every frame basically have ever noticed a correlation in the markings on the regults. It may genuinely never appear in the tv show, though. Quote

gingaio Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 For some reason, the light artillery attachment appears a more natural fit for the Regult design. The heavy cannisters just seem a bit much for what's otherwise a strangely sleek design. May just display one normal and one with the light attachment, since I don't have a normal Regult at the moment. The latest pics are making me more impatient. Quote
Zx31 Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 I will be giving those stands to the VF-1s I have that didn't come with them. Quote

Expand I have the wing sitting out in the sun with "retrobright" coating it (actually 40 volume from Sally) Wish me luck on getting my parts back to white. Unfortunately this involves taking all the decals off and I don't have a spare decal sheet for a 1/60 VF-1A. I might make a thread about it (even though you guys are trying to weakly troll whilst avoiding breaking rules ) Edited September 16, 2017 by amptor Quote

Expand As noted, they're currently sold out or pre-order locked due to demand and it having been a while since the last reprint, but they're being re-released from another reprint at the end of this month. ALL the packages of Tamashii Stage Act 5s (and 4s) are actually 3-packs. There's also things like the Trident stands that are just one large stand, but can hold 3+ items per stand. HLJ will probably have some in stock at the end of the month. Keep an eye out on September 30th when they release. You can see the info on them here: http://tamashii.jp/item/1345/ Quote

seti88 Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 Well the ve-1 po wasnt as mad as dx....but i get wat u mean..its perpetual hot releases for hmr.... Quote
brouken Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 Man, I'm so tempted to start collecting this line. The Zentran mechs look so much fun. Not to mention the Elintseeker and Super Ostrich (hopefully Arcadia decides to re-release the 1/60 versions). So far I've allowed myself to PO the VF-2SS, only because I fully expect the Bandai version to trash the Evolution version even though its in a smaller scale. Looks pretty good from that twitter pic.

RDX17 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 So what's going up for pre-order next: Tomahawk, Super Ostrich, or something else entirely? It's been too long since I've picked up a new HMR and I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun. Quote
