seti88 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 awww those pics bring a warmth to your heart...like a boy and his lil regult war machine... Quote
Mommar Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I finally got my hands on my Regults today. Homerun Bandai, Homerun. Bring on the missile and scout variants. This is completely what I wanted, it's what I wanted when I got the still relatively decent Toynami Battlepods. I expected these to be good, Bandai are masters of poseable mecha, especially when they don't have to worry about transformation mechanisms. This is near perfect, I could gripe about a few small things (I want the cannons to be able to point all the way forward, and the smaller impact guns to be movable), but it's not worth it. Buy them when you see them. And bring on the destroids. They're going to be just as great, I know it. As a matter of fact, although they're different divisions, maybe somebody between groups is talking because this thing feels remarkably similar to the Hulkbuster they just released. Ratches, metal, etc in all the right places. I'm thinking the Monster is going to be a showpiece. Place your bets now people. Quote
jvmacross Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 ...Gundam and Macross.....living together.....Mass hysteria!!!! So I went ahead and bought a pack of the 1/100 Bandai Gunpla Builders figurines....not bad....scales really well with the Macross HMR line....hopefully some Macross editions will be made....for now these will do well in HMR dioramas...

bbrain Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Jelly of all the Regults i see, all my boys are cruising over SAL style. Is NY the best (only) spot to get the Fokker? Quote
ZorClone Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 would Noa Izumi from the 1/24 Yamato Ingram 1 fit in the Regult cockpit? lol, I will let you know when I get the Regults in! Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I call bullsh*t.... Nice. Love to see some size comparison pics. Thanks jvmacross. Jelly of all the Regults i see, all my boys are cruising over SAL style. Is NY the best (only) spot to get the Fokker? For now, NY is the safe place to get those Tamashii Web Exclusives from Bandai. You have to pay upfront though for NY. MyKombini has it too. You just have to pay 50% deposit for this preorder. I haven't tried MyKombini so I can't recommend it yet, but some folks here does. God, I love the Ghostbusters Hey Old Man, are you referring to the recent released movie trailer? Quote

sh9000 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 When I finally get to those figurines they're going to be so hard to paint. Quote
jvmacross Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 What about the figurines that come with the Bandai 1/100 Armored Factory? Yeah....they probably would work too....anyone have some to put them next to an HMR valk for scale comparison? Quote
sh9000 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Yeah....they probably would work too....anyone have some to put them next to an HMR valk for scale comparison? Right here. Edited March 4, 2016 by sh9000 Quote
sh9000 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I just realized my Deadpool figure is going to look cool coming out of the Regult. Quote

Are they always this expensive? Quote
Drad Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Ouch, ¥26,490?!? Are they always this expensive? It's the Monster, which is massive. Hence the price. Quote
Old Man Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) It's the Monster, which is massive. Hence the price.Yeah, I know, but the highest preorder price I recall seeing for the HWR Monster was ¥25,000 at CDJapan. AmiAmi was at ¥22,890, Nippon-Yasan was ¥23,180, and HLJ was at ¥22,500.I was just wondering if MyKombini has been higher in price compared to the other popular shops for the previous Hi-Metal R releases. My apologies for not being very clear with my previous post Edited March 4, 2016 by Old Man Quote

My apologies for not being very clear with my previous post Ah, I see. Maybe MyKombini is priced higher because they're a smaller vendor? I dunno. Just a guess. Quote

Roy Focker Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 If you disassemble the Matchbox figure will he fit inside? Just stick in the upper half of his body. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 That's the best he can fold up without taking him apart. I'll probably just try putting the head and torso in there or customize a Marvel Universe figure. Quote
ZorClone Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 De culture! That's awesome, I love that pic! IDK who the lady is, but, great photo. Quote
EXO Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I was in mid process of articulating my 1/100 zentradi figure... forgot the other arm... Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Just got my HM-R Regults and Bandai did a superb job with these toys. They feel durable, have awesome details, and have a good posability. Even if you're a strict 1/60 fan, you wouldn't regret picking up a Regult for your desk. It's such a great toy to fiddle with. I've no doubt that the HM-R Regult is going to be remembered as one of the most underrated Macross toys around. Just a word of caution, though. The small, lower front lasers can pop off (by design) without too much force. My Regult fell off my coffee table onto thickly padded carpet, yet one of the lasers managed to fly 3 feet into the air. The lasers are so small and dark that they'd be easy to lose. Quote
sharky Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Now I'm thinking how Hasbro put out some smaller scale figures for Guardians of the Galaxy and probably other stuff. I wonder if they'll fit in the Regult? I personally don't have any of those figures. Quote
EXO Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I don't think any figure will fit in there unless it's ones that come with the Masterpiece Transformers... lol. There's not enough room for anything plus the hatch is tiny. here's a quick comparison with the Revoltech, Toynami and the HMR Regult... Quote
jvmacross Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) I was in mid process of articulating my 1/100 zentradi figure... forgot the other arm... 12834530_775449102600060_221833553_n.jpg Looks really good, but no amount of anime sorcery will make a 1/100 Zentran figure fit into a 1/100 HMR Regult.....are you going to offer it as a Plastic Cretins product? It's ironic that it is all the detail that is keeping a 3 3/4" (1/100?) figure from squeezing into the cockpit....I think it is actually big enough if it were mostly hollow....or much smaller internal details...
