ScrambledValkyrie Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Nice comparison. Though to be fair you should equip the VF-1 with super parts since the VF-2 has the SAP. Quote

no3Ljm Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I'm impressed with their update. Might get one once it gets released. Thunder Hammer color is cool. Quote https://www.facebook.com/FEXT-HOBBY-1641462599257543/ Armour suits on - full picture revealed! Pls. stay tuned for our full color version armour! This is not a plastic model kit, it’s a ready made Armour accessories for 1:100 HMR series! Quote
jenius Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 So are they planning on selling that as an unlicensed accessory? I might bite. Quote
SuperDimensionalDave Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 These look amazing. I might have to buy several. The details look really sharp for the scale. ESP for an unofficial release. Quote
ZorClone Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Heck, I'd get a set or two for the few HMR VF-1's I actually own. Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Very nice; I have a naked vf-1j this would look good on. Will they have issues selling unlicensed accessories? Quote

This is also their first item that they’re working on with possibly other types of HMR scaled items/upgrades later. Can’t wait. Quote
Lord_Of_Tetris Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 What, exactly, is the history behind that armor? I've seen kitbashes of it over the years, and I just assumed it was a fan being creative. I've never seen that armor in Macross or DYRL. Looks awesome, though. Does the VF-1 still transform with the armor on? Quote
Nyankodevice Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 i want a HMR fan liner and racer also booster rockets for the VF-1 and even a HMR ARMD... btw that armor suit looks really snazzy would definitely take a HMR version of that... Quote

Well, it's a custom kit bash so I'm not sure if that person needs to be acknowledge or get paid. Unless Big West bought the rights on that design from that person then yeah, it might have copyright issues. But don't quote me on that. I'm just guessing. 3 minutes ago, Lord_Of_Tetris said: What, exactly, is the history behind that armor? I've seen kitbashes of it over the years, and I just assumed it was a fan being creative.

It's just a custom kit-bash and it didn't get featured from any of the series, games, and movies. And no. The VF-1 doesn't transform with the armors on. Even with the official GBP one. 12 minutes ago, sh9000 said: Thanks for posting the updated photos. The order details for the armor is coming soon.

Hopefully it's not as much as $100 something. If it comes already pre-painted and with markings, I've give it a go. Quote

Not a big fan of the Thunder Hammer, but will encourage greater things via a purchase or two (is the the plan to make this available for purchase?)....it should fit the original Hi-Metal VF-1J too right?

spacemanoeuvres Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 $160 oh me oh my lol Welp maybe the timing of this release will coincide with a lull in others and allow me to buy one. I go back and forth on the valks in his line, though I am a big fan of the destroids! Quote

sh9000 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Just found out some great news. There will be a Fanliner and Fan Racer set that I can order in 1/100 scale. They are going to be cool next to HMR. Quote
easnoddy Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Sweet, maybe they can do this bad boy next... Quote

sh9000 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Forgot to clarify. Plastic Cretins will be making a set of the Fanliner and Fan Racer. I’m going to order them in 1/100 scale. The HMR and 1/100 collection will keep growing. 12 hours ago, ScrambledValkyrie said: Complete with Misa and Kaifun, it would seem. Now you really need that HMR VT-1. (And a few N-Gers...)
