Reaction Warhead Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Are there any words on a Hi-metal R 1/100 scale SDF-1 Macross to go along with the other toys from this line? Quote
jenius Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) No, if they did it it'd be dx presumably. Edited October 9, 2015 by jenius Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 1/100 SDF-1? Wow that's going to be big even with the DX line. That's going to be like 39-40 feet in length. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 By the way the red missiles at the hips can be switched so that it's all one color instead like on other toy versions. Quote
Karaoke Ninja Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Are the chest doors supposed to open like that or is that a design flaw? Quote
Scyla Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 It is that way in the line art: (courtesy of M³: http://www.macross2.net/m3/sdfmacross/vf-1j-gbp.htm) Quote
Loop Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Just looks like the missiles should face out to the left and right more. Quote
koonfasa Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 image.jpeg Along with the Monster, I'll be sure to get the Glaug. How big does that look next to the 1/60 Warhammer... er, I mean Tomahawk do you think? Where's the blue one from SH? Quote
hkj711 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 If anyone is still looking for the armored VF-1J, CDJapan has some. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-139741 Quote

I'm guessing the Glaug will be smaller. The blue VF-1J Max is from the Hi-Metal line. Now it is called Hi-Metal R. Edited October 11, 2015 by sh9000 Quote
calubin_175 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Hey, just wondering. My order of the VF-1J Armored from amiami and NY both had a plastic bag wrapped around the box. Is that something Bandai or the distributors provided? Maybe they wanted to sell them as mint collector's condition so that in many years to come they will become vintage collectables. But then vintage usually applies to toys that were made at the time of the airing of the source material. Quote

If it is, then it's safe to assume that Bandai distribute it that way. If not, then the distributors/online stores somehow wrap the items properly before shipping. Quote
calubin_175 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 They were identical. It was my first time seeing it in a mid tier toy. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 They were identical. It was my first time seeing it in a mid tier toy. Hmm... somehow this practice is kinda random from Bandai. Some item I received from them have plastic wrap and some don't. Hmmm. Curious. But then again, it's just plastic wraps. And toys are meant to be opened and play with. Quote
Loop Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Both of mine from 2 different shops came with the same identical plastic wrap (CDJ / HLJ). Quote

calubin_175 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Should we expect a wrap with the Regult as well? How about other Bandai Chogokin releases? I understand that Japanese shop fronts may actually have them removed so that customers could inspect them. Quote

VF-Zer0S Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Haha jokes aside I really hope this line flourishes because the 1/60 line is getting really pricey. The ways it's looking I'm going all in into this line because the size and price is perfect for me Quote
Loop Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm going all in on this line because I can fit a bunch on a shelf and have enemies to display with them all. I will still keep collecting the 1/60 stuff, you just can't beat them as far as wow factor goes. Quote
EXO Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm buying it because Loop's buying it... he seems like a smart guy... Quote
Toonz Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Restock http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-139741 Quote
Mommar Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Dammit, I thought you were posting a Regult pre-order re-opening. Quote
sharky Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Sweet! Another restock. I'm liking the availability of this. Gives me hope to get the VF-1S and 1 or 2 more Regults. Also gives me hope that I will be able to pick up future releases. Like others, I'm all in for this line. Hope to see even more enemy releases. Quote
EXO Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Me too. I wanted the Hikaru VF-1S since the first time these came out. I told myself I was only getting Hikaru's valks back then since he'll have all the types. But this time around with all the different mechs... it's going to be hard to stay within those perimeters. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm all in and I'm glad there's a toyline with both Valkyries and enemy mecha. Quote
Frogze Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I finally got mine today. It's a nice little figure, it will look amazing next to the Glaug and Regults. My complaint would be about the content of the box. Instead of providing filler parts for the giant gaps of this figure behind the head and the sides of the chest and give us the best looking possible figure we get the "spent missile parts" which to me is absolutely useless and kind of seems like a cheap way to have completists buy at least two of these to display one in each setup. So yeah I like it, but I want mostly the enemy mechs and Destroids. Also if you're having a dangling chest part it's most likely because you haven't pushed the chest armor down enough, mine is rock solid Quote
Loop Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'm buying it because Loop's buying it... he seems like a smart guy... Haha, I buy everything so you may not want to base your decision off of me Oh actually I am cancelling my VF-2SS pre-order and I never cancel Macross pre-orders. Quote
sharky Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Haha, I buy everything so you may not want to base your decision off of me Oh actually I am cancelling my VF-2SS pre-order and I never cancel Macross pre-orders. VF-2SS is like gossamer, and one doesn't cancel pre-orders for gossamer Quote
ArchieNov Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Mine finally arrived in the mail. First impression is that it's much more robust and nicer than I expected it to be. Transformation is pretty easy and the armor parts stay on well. My only nitpick is probably the lack of ratchet joints, especially in the knees. Because of my OCD, it takes me forever to get everything lined up perfectly and symmetrically in a neutral standing pose hehe. Quote
Loop Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I know how you feel Archie, I can be very OCD about things too. I did not even think to expect ratcheting joints on this due to the size, but that would have been a great idea if it was possible. I don't think I have encountered a valk this small with ratcheting joints before. Quote
seti88 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Looking at the bad boy in miyatake-san's hands really is a nice piece of marketing http://tamashii.jp/t_kokkaku/86/?lmode=en The squat stance looking good from the front! looks nimble enough to be compacted... Quote
