sh9000 Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I’ll have a total of 5 VF-4Gs coming in. One to keep MISB (huge MISB collector ), one for Fighter, one for Battroid, one to paint the yellow parts blue, and one to paint the yellow parts red. Quote

I'm debating on doing the same with my 1, going from yellow to red. Quote
Mommar Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) I’m really pleased with how this one turned out. I wasn’t sold on the scheme but I bought it hoping Bandai would go out on a limb on other non-cannon VF-4 schemes and it turns out I love it. Now I really hope M&M get made. The thing that struck me, the “brown” on this one is actually a bronze. It doesn’t really show in photos well but in person looks much better than the brown on the original VF-4.

Saburo Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 The color scheme is alright, I do like the commander head Quote
sh9000 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 The first pic I’ll take of the VF-4G will be it and a group of VF-4s in Fighter mode. Quote
borgified Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 D'oh!! Someone has snagged a HMR Monster for 18k yen on Manda (not opened,, package damaged). https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1062290787&ref=list&keyword=%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9&lang=en Quote

sh9000 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Looks like the lower fin is at the wrong angle. The cheapest I’ve seen the Monster sell for recently was 1000 HKD. Quote

Draykov Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I can't vouch for the store yet, so a big CAVEAT EMPTOR on this one, but I did put in an order with them this week for the first time, so we'll see (fingers crossed). Anyway, Nin-Nin-Game.com has a few HMRs in stock, most of which are outrageously priced, but a few are relatively low...might be worth it if you can't find them at a decent price on Mandarake or elsewhere. VT-1 Super Ostrich $85.45 (¥9545) MBR-07-MKII Spartan $73.49 (¥8209) ADR-04-MKX Defender $82.69 (¥9236) Quote
borgified Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 There is other places besides Nin-nin and Manda that carries second hand HMR - Amiami and Jungle. Jungle is overpriced and they rack on the 5% additional fee if you get anything from them (sometimes it does have good deals). Its a given that if anyone that uses Manda you're going to spend more than you planned (Hook, line and sinker). Quote
sh9000 Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) My first 2 VF-4Gs should be coming in Tuesday. I just thought of displaying together a HM VF-1S TV Roy, HMR VF-1S DYRL Roy, HMR VF-4G, and AFC F-14A Jolly Rogers. Edited February 22, 2020 by sh9000 Quote

I know I have more Focker stands somewhere but if I can’t find them, then this will do since they’re all black stands. Or I’ll just use clear stands and also include the F-4J Jolly Rogers.

505thAirborne Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 I didn't think I would like this color scheme & yet I really like it now. Bring on a Max & Cannon Fodder VF-4G Bandai!! Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 I think this scheme looks better than the basic one in Battroid, personally. The black chest and yellow highlights. Quote
Raya1823 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Any word on the next Hi-Metal R release yet?? Quote

fenrir72 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Just shipped from amiami. The wait is MURDER! Quote
sh9000 Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Looks like my first 2 VF-4Gs are coming in today instead of tomorrow. Quote

RDX17 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 ^Nice! Now HMR just needs to release a VF-0S to help fill out the line up. Quote
