How are the proportions on these? The VF-0S especially looks a bit off, but I'm not sure if I'm just seeing things.

There were also prototypes shown way back when for a bunch of stuff from the sequels, right? YF/VF-19s, VF-11s, etc., all of which became vaporware?

These are just the 2 images they've shown so at this point it's very hard to see how the proportions are. And if I remember correctly, a displayed VF-0S in fighter mode was also shown years ago alongside the VF-19/VF-4/etc.

 

The event where they're probably going to showcase Macross stuff is still going to be in 7 hours. Youtube video below. So at this point all we can do is wait.

Yeah, hopefully those colors are adjusted. I'd prefer to see it in more of a Desert Tan shade, time will tell with the final product.

Trying to one up Arcadia's pink-white.

By the looks of the survey results of each of them it seems these are heavily supported. Hopefully Bandai takes the feedback and releases them for sale.

How could they?! Preorder cancelled!

 

 J/K, those differences don't concern me.

😆 It didn’t concern me before but I must admit it does a little to me now cos it’s more than a bit off.

Maybe it won’t again if the official photos are fetching enough hahah...

I need a CSI picture enhancement heheh...It was mentioned that it was an 0a and not an 0s at that time if I recall..doesn’t matter...

My fools hope was and still is, to see the macross frontier HMR displayed next to it!!

Bandai will Bandai; that's why.

[no3Ljm]

Probably based on some old artwork? 

[brooklynmacross]

Excited for this. Definitely a series that needs more attention. Hope it gets the DX treatment as well

I'd lose my mind if they released DX Destroids.

Where's the preorder button???

[ScrambledValkyrie]

Haven't posted here in quite a while, but have to say that I am thrilled to see that Macross HMR is not forgotten and seems to have great things ahead. VF-0 seems a given, VF-1S and Tomahawk seem likely... all fantastic additions to the lineup. Looking forward to PO time!

[sh9000]

Very good in size.  Can't wait.

Fixed. 

[brooklynmacross]

A DX Regult would be stunning, but then we would have the issue of putting a pilot inside. All I really want is a DX VF-0S and buy 3. Display one, keep one sealed, and one for just in case.

I don't remember any HMR POs being that bad, certainly nowhere near the level of the Roy 1S DX. At any rate, the fact that we may actually - finally - get some more of these makes me not really care how crazy PO might be.

Stabilizers sticking straight up, head lasers pointing upward.... the Bandai employee tasked with transforming their displays clearly ran out of F's to give long ago. 

The feet... well, maybe Roy is thrust vectoring. 

[sh9000]

Looking forward to adding another Jolly Rogers to the group.

So you're cancelling your preorder too?

I'm emailing Amiami right now to cancel.

Very nice, lost hope with this line.

Left wing appears to be slightly warped so I'm cancelling too!

[brooklynmacross]

Totally getting the VF-0s and I'm also excited about the Soul of Chogokin Kiryu!

I hope there are more SDFM related collectibles coming out in honor of SDFM's 40th....sure, it's great for Bandai to have resurrected the "pics" of the Tomahawk and "mentioned" the Phalanx...only to remove the mention.....but it just didn't seem like enough...ok, they did also show a derpy SD VF-1S...but even that was not in SDFM colors...

My concern now is that since they are free to release NON-SDFM/DYRL items outside of Japan....from a business/profit perspective, the temptation to diminish the release of SDFM/DYRL items may be tempting....hopefully, they are not trying to determine the "demand for Macross" outside of Japan with sales data derived from NON-SDFM/DYRL items....I do not think it would provide them with accurate information

Agreed.  I welcome all HMR releases from other Macross series but they should release more from SDFM/DYRL.

So, regardless of 1/100 scale, that HMR Macross Zero valk is going to stand taller than the HMR Macross DYRM/SDFM valks, right?

It should, but unlike the Vf100 line, the HMR line has never been officially labeled as 1/100, so it may be of a similar size
