Binge re-watching Macross 7 On Disney+ since yesterday has made me want HMR VF-17D/S, VF-11C Super and Fz-109 toys even more.

You must not have binged far enough for Emerald Force to have shown up. 😁 Add the VF-19F/S and I'm right there with you.

Not quite up to where Emerald Force show up, yet. 😅

Given that we already have the HMR Fire Valkyrie, I think it's a given that Bandai will give us at least a VF-19S as a P-Bandai release.

But yeah, the VF-19F/S are high up on my list of favourite VF designs, especially the VF-19F. Love that blue with white trim scheme.

I'm curious if they'll even push the line that far.  The Fire Valk is prepped to cover a VF-19P release, but I'm really wondering if they'll follow through with the rest of them, since I don't know how popular the original HM VF-19S was.  I love the 19F as well, but I'm not really wanting to get my hopes up.  I really don't want any of them to be webshop releases, since it makes it that much harder to get multiple copies.

I would love the entire spread of Protodevlin mecha brought to life in the HMR line! That would be awesome!

Just ordered a HWR-00-MKII from mandrake! So it looks like I'm joining the HM-R side as well....🤪 Hope it comes in good condition!?

The Monster should arrive in excellent condition as it is well protected in a styrofoam cube.

We are still waiting for the other destroids for the HMR…

You'll have to keep waiting.  1:72 is actually closer to HMR Destroid scale than 1:100 would be, but neither size works. 😐

I'm actually kind of hoping KC will keep up with their figure-capable releases, and maybe give us an actual Gnerl for the first time in.. ever. :lol: 

It wouldn't be complex or particularly feature-rich, but if they give it articulated fins and nozzles, some retracting landing skids, and a cockpit on par with the Battlepod, I would actually pony up and preorder a couple.

The Wave 1/100 Destroids only need to be a little larger than the old school kits for me to consider buying multiples of the Tomahawk and Phalanx and squeeze them in with my HMR.

I love the Hi-Metal R MK-II Monster. It's scary that it's actually a smaller scale than the DX-Chogokin VF-1 Valkyries. 

Yes it's nice! If Bandai does ever decide to do a DX Version it really would be massive...🤪

So I take it that there are only two other destroys that Bandai released in HM-R

ADR-04-MKX Destroyed Defender & MBR-07-MKII Destroyed Spartan 

with the SDR-04 Destroyed Phalanx & MBR-04 Destroyed Tomahawk still outstanding?

wonder what's the hold up?

HMR was run by a huge Macross fan in the early days but projects rotate within Bandai and focuses shift so the line has just been plodding along for a while... Nothing obscure like scout regults or destroids.
