EXO Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 BAM, Thanks Cool8or! Thanks to Nel for the bigger images. Quote
captain america Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 You know what would go great with that Macross, but that they probably will never make? A same-scale Supervision Army gunboat! Quote
cool8or Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 Are you talking about the pre-crash SDF-1? Quote
captain america Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Are you talking about the pre-crash SDF-1? Yes, exactly that! Quote
chyll2 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) so I need to wait for another two years for the Armored Messiah? And Hasegawa red tag on the TV SDF-1 means it will be a limited kit. Edited August 24, 2015 by chyll2 Quote
Kelsain Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Welp, looks like it might be time to sell that old IMAI cruiser... Quote
EXO Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Ok this i will build and buy Hopefully not in that order. Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Thank you Hasegawa!!! This one next to my DYRL SDF-1.... life is good! Quote
Spitfire_BR Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Oh good Lord, thank you !!!!!! that's a great time to be a Macross fan ! Quote
Gabe Q Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Awesome news!!! I can't wait to get the TV version SDF1. I've been waiting so long for this! Quote
Kelsain Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 And see, now that this exists, I feel like I'd want a DYRL version too. I could call it the Global. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 OMG!!!!! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU HASEGAWA! If only I had time to build the DYRL one Quote
cool8or Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 The best thing about this, is that now we can be absolutely sure that Hase will produce a Movie SDF-1 in attack mode, and, if the TV Cruiser sells well, we'll have a TV SDF-1 in attack mode!! Quote
505thAirborne Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Pre-orders are up at HLJ. Thanks for the heads up, Pre-ordered!! Quote
Valkyrie Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Very, very cool! This is a kit I've been wanting to see for quite a long time. I just ordered two of em. Weird that they made it a limited edition, though. This is one kit I want to see available for years! Quote
Toonz Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 which sdf1 is larger in terms of anime size? tv or movie? this will be smaller than the yamato 1/3000 if placed side by side. Quote
Kelsain Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 The best thing about this, is that now we can be absolutely sure that Hase will produce a Movie SDF-1 in attack mode, and, if the TV Cruiser sells well, we'll have a TV SDF-1 in attack mode!! Wait, what? How can we be sure about the attacker mode? After all, they've only given us battroids of the VF-1, despite all the fighters they've done. Did I miss something? Quote
Jefuemon Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I'll be picking this one up. Passed on the DYRL version, mainly because I had just finished Yellow Submarine's version right when it came out. And I'll probably be getting the Super Messiah. Edited August 25, 2015 by Jefuemon Quote
DeductiblyBonkers Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I thought the Hasegawa DYRL SDF-1 transformed? have I been misled? D: Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I know I'm not building kits anymore but this one made me order the previous SDF as well. Looking forward to it. I was checking the size for the movie version and this tv version. And it looks like the TV version will be longer by 5.3mm. Hoping also that they will do the attack modes for both in the future as well. Quote
MechTech Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Two words: Wooo Hooo! Isn't this the first styrene TV kit in 30 years or so!? Definitely got to get one! I'm glad it's got all the other extras the movie version has too! - MT Quote
cool8or Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Wait, what? How can we be sure about the attacker mode? After all, they've only given us battroids of the VF-1, despite all the fighters they've done. Did I miss something? Well, it's just my impression. I just say it because Attack Mode is more popular than the Cruiser Mode... So, if the Cruiser sales goes well, I think attack mode is the next logical move to Hasegawa. Also, I still remember all those policaps included (and not used) in the DYRL SDF-1. Anyway, if I'm wrong, we can just do some conversion to these cruiser kits to become in attack mode! Quote
Kelsain Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 That's why Imma preorder 2... Anyway, did a little digging and here's the word from Hasegawa's webiste (per Google translate): http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/65830/ Commentary While based on the setting of the theater version of SDF-1, kit design that incorporates the essence of the TV version setting! Set a number of new mold parts. Maximum is characteristic Prometheus and Daedalus of course, distinctive bow shape is square-shaped nozzle, In addition to the design of the shoulder, bridge divided into left and right even in bigger size! In addition, expansion and of each part deputy gun, position change of leg unit, such as the addition of the main nozzle cover, Impression has changed significantly. Prometheus and Daedalus also possible parts configured to recalibrate the single state that is not connected to the SDF-1. The same scale of the VF-1 fighter (× , VF-1 Super Fighter (× , Destroyed monster (× 2), for exhibition stand is included. Package illustrations responsible Hidetaka Tenjin Mr. Additional plastic parts Prometheus Daedalus Bow Various parts Vice cannon added Shoulder Bridge Position change of legs and main nozzle cover, etc. Quote
SebastianP Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Dat commentary... "Destroyed Monster". Or as the HLJ page puts it, "Destroyed version of the Monster." Anyway, I've pre-ordered mine as well. I should get the DYRL version too at some point, it looks awesome, and having them side by side would be really neat. I thought the Hasegawa DYRL SDF-1 transformed? have I been misled? D: The Hasegawa kits are just that: Model kits. They do not transform, they're for static display only. I know some people have managed to make transformable VFs from the Hasegawa kits, but that basically requires at least two kits (one battroid and one fighter kit) and a ton of scratchbuilding. Also, unlike some of the VF kits where you could use for example the head (I think) from a battroid kit to make a different fighter version, I'm not sure the parts breakdown of the cruiser mode kits support swapping parts with an eventual Storm Attacker kit other than maybe the arms, and possibly not even them.

mechaninac Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I caved too. AmiAmi has it up as well but I decided to go with HLJ due to their better shipping rates. Quote
