no3Ljm Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 1:100 Scale Breetai Not HMR. Not Macross as well. But it has already mentioned in the Macross Figures thread. Quote
Ridden001 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Oh please delete this. The authorities are flexing muscle. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Oh please delete this. The authorities are flexing muscle. I’m calling the police! Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Oh please delete this. The authorities are flexing muscle. Hahaha! Hmmm. You made me think. Probably, it’s one of the reasons why I always get downvoted before. Quote
Bolt Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 This will be cool to recreate. Isn’t THIS what it looks like when the authorities flex.. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Isn’t THIS what it looks like when the authorities flex.. To some degree, I agree. But IT IS also the same thing what rebels do to authorities. Quote
easnoddy Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I will buy this non-Macross item. Its ridiculous that we've had to wait this long for it and it wasn't a legit Japanese company that made it for us. Instead we get all the Lolli figures. For the record the Kitz Concept Hikaru looks pretty sweet also. I hope both of these companies are successful and continue these lines. Kamjin, Milia, Exodol, etc...would be fantastic. Quote

Big s Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Maybe Bandai will see that figure and finally release the sh figuarts version. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 This will be cool to recreate. The Britai figure should be able to hold the chest piece of the VF-1J. It’s nice that the chest piece can be easily removed. I’m not sure yet if I’ll battle damage a VF-1J head or use a piece of putty and put the antennae on it. This will also be cool to recreate. Quote
Penguin sushi Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Hey just got back to collecting. I want to get the vf-4, but been wondering how do the hi metals stand up? Are they made well? To they feel plasticky? Edited March 8, 2019 by Penguin sushi Quote
Alphahorizon Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 @Penguin sushiI to just got back into my Macross collecting and started with the HMRs. They are solid for thier 1/100 size. Currently, I dont have any complaints. Maybe some of my collecting seniors may have a more."long term" understanding Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Hey just got back to collecting. I want to get the vf-4, but been wondering how do the hi metals stand up? Are they made well? To they feel plasticky? As of now, it's everyone's go-to figure for collectability and desktop playing. The best review site to go to regarding these Hi-Metal R releases is to head out to our own @jenius' website called Anymoon.com. Welcome aboard to MACROSSWORLD! Don't ever let members here encourage you to go bankrupt for buying endless toys. Quote

Pontus Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Hey just got back to collecting. I want to get the vf-4, but been wondering how do the hi metals stand up? Are they made well? To they feel plasticky? My Hikaru fell off of a shelf from 7ft high and handled it like a boss. My 4yr old daughter is kinda rough on them (well supervised of course), and they certainly don't seem too delicate. I'm a big fan of these, but then I haven't had them for very long. I do play with them on the regular though, maybe once a week give or take. Quote

no3Ljm Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 ...I thought that was our purpose? Can I get a wallet destroyer gif in here? Ofcourse it is. But we have to be subtle in the beginning. Don't want to scare new comers, right? Anyways, here's the last one I did. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I’ll put it this way. When I got into Macross a few years ago, I bought one HMR (thanks in part to @jenius) then quickly realized I needed 3 for the various modes. Now, including the original Hi Metals, I have over 20. Their price and size make them so easy to collect, in my opinion. Quote

Their price and size make them so easy to collect, in my opinion. I started in mid 2015 with a used DX VF-25 renewal. I now have over probably around 40 transforming valks in 1/60 scale. Plus HMR line. Plus Yamato Tomahawk and Queadluun. Plus Koenig Monster and Macross Quarter and TWO 1/3000 SFD-1s. I calculated how much I've spent, and it's not a number I want to acknowledge.

Slave IV Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Hey just got back to collecting. I want to get the vf-4, but been wondering how do the hi metals stand up? Are they made well? To they feel plasticky? As you can see from @sh9000‘s pic, they stand up quite well. They are made very well and have a great, tactile feel to them. It’s the best overall Macross (and beyond) line ever made as far as displayablity and playability. Quote
Penguin sushi Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I will probably start collecting them though i miss the chunkies. There is one or two old ones i want but i was trying to see what was the best bang for what inpay. The plastic ones are wayyyy to fragile. Guess the vf-4 will be my first and i will see how it goes.

At least one (or two or three) chunky monkeys are a must for any collection but even I, as someone who thinks the chunky monkey is the best toy ever made, would not recommend trying to build an entire collection of them. A whole collection of HMR with some multiples mixed in on the other hand is something I highly recommend. Edited March 9, 2019 by Slave IV Quote

Convectuoso Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 How I wish the one from the left was a HMR!! Quote
Dobber Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah I’d love for Frontier to be represented in the HMR line. I love the 25 series. Chris Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Yeah I’d love for Frontier to be represented in the HMR line. I love the 25 series. Chris If the VF-2SS became a reality, then there is some hope for a VF-25. Quote
Lolicon Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 As long as the HMR line remains profitable enough, I think we'll eventually see releases of every VF. I'd buy an HMR VF-25. Though I'd still rather have a new, improved DX version. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 It seems the HMR line is doing fairly well, since most things (aside from desdroids) sell out without too much in the way of discounts. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 The VF-4 will go well with the group of Fighters. Thanks to all of the positive people who have been supporting this line and have been buying the VF-1 and other releases to help this line become successful. I look forward to the day of HMR Macross Frontier, Macross Plus, and more. Quote
