If the spartan bombs, Bandai might not continue with the rest of the destroids. It's been over two years and still just one Destroid! Hopefully Bandai releases them all! Quote

seti88 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I know its probably due to the camera but inner man child just went gaga over the perceived chunkiness! And also imagining it weathered!! Is it possible to weather your HMR toys? Love it!! Quote

Obviously struggling to get it into position and put too much pressure on each side so that it cracked in the hump from behind the cockpit. I didn't think I was being rough at all. Lesson learned Unfortunate it happened, but hopefully the fix wasn't too hard and doesn't look too bad. Quote

sh9000 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Just bought another Armored Valkyrie to customize the armor into Max armor and the VF-1J into a Target Battroid. Woo hoo! Edited January 18, 2017 by sh9000 Quote

HMR is 14.3CM which is 1/89. Ok. So you're guys saying that HM-R Valks are not exact 1/100 scale, right? I don't have an HM-R nor GnU-Duo so I don't know the actual size of it. Macross Mecha Manual info on these Battroid modes are: VF-1's - 12.68 meters (no info if the head laser are included) YF-19 - 15.48 meters (not including the head laser) YF-21 - Estimated height of 15.5 meters (I have a feeling it's more since this one is taller than YF-19) I'm assuming the number Jenius gave for the GnU figure is for the VF-1's. If it is, and if that line is in-line with each other, then it's safe to assume that the YF-19 and YF-21 from that line is 1/100-ish. Quote

The HMR VF-1 isn't really 1/100 scale. 7 hours ago, Slave IV said: Curious what you paid for it...Would like one but not for the $200+ I see it going for. A little more than normal release price but less than $200. That's way too much. Here are some missile effects I was just working on. Edited January 19, 2017 by sh9000 Quote

Oh yeah, I'm sorry, I was talking about the VF-1, 1/115 for the YF-19 and YF-21 may be right. Sorry for my confusion! I would love to see an HMR YF-21 and YF-19.. hopefully not soon though because I'm still feeding my SDF Macross need. Quote

It would be different if regults were the ones in stock...I'd be endlessly debating with myself for days whether to get one or not haha Quote
