kajnrig Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Ah yes, you're absolutely correct. The 1/72 1J Max/Miriya in both fighter and Gerwalk, and Miriya in battroid, but no Max. Quote

The 1/72 1J Max/Miriya in both fighter and Gerwalk, and Miriya in battroid, but no Max. Yeah. And even more frustrating, the fighters are non super, while the gerwalks and battroid are supers. I just want a display with all 3 modes that's consistent! Probably I'll wind up getting extra super fighter kits and donate the super parts to the max/miria fighters. Rather than de-super the other kits. Quote
SteveTheFish Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Less than 24 hours from now, at 12 noon local Japan time, Hasegawa will announce their summer release schedule for June & July, ahead of the Shizuoka Hobby Show next month. https://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/202406_7new/ Quote
Bolt Posted April 4 Posted April 4 That's an awesome line up ! Was expecting the Max Rau, but the YF-19 Battroid is a bit of a surprise, for sure. Quote
Gabe Q Posted April 4 Posted April 4 http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/33/ The detail looks really good! Insta-buy for me. Quote
Big s Posted April 4 Posted April 4 That’s odd news with the YF-19. Max Factory has a VF-19 battroid coming soon as well. Hopefully Hasegawa has learned a few tricks on this kit. Although judging by the above picture, it doesn’t look like it will be as well articulated as the Max Factory kit The Max Queadluun Rau was expected, but a definite must buy kit for me. Still hoping for standing pilot figures of the happy couple. Quote
SteveTheFish Posted April 4 Posted April 4 I was hoping for a Glaug or a Gnerl, but perhaps those will be slated for November/December if they do come out. Quote
Major Tom Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Hopefully we'll be getting DYRL Nousjadeul-Ger at some point. Quote
Big s Posted April 4 Posted April 4 All the above plus a few rereleases are up for preorder at the usual spots Quote

I was hoping for those as well, but I expected they would go the easy route and do a recolor. The YF-19 battroid was a surprise, but I’m more interested in the Max Factory battroids and figure they’ll probably do one eventually. But I definitely had to get the Max Queadluun Rau to go with the previous release. Not sure if the next one will be the standard purple or if we move on to something else. I’m not sure if Max Factory would jump in for the tv version or if that will be a hasegawa thing. Quote

It’ll probably look better in color though. so now that hasegawa is doing humanoid style mecha from Plus, maybe the next Zentraedi kit will be that power armor from the beginning. Quote

Urashiman Posted April 4 Posted April 4 1 hour ago, no3Ljm said: The 1/72 YF-19 Battroid's details looks good I might say. ... but I wonder. If I cut that one up and rebuild it in fighter mode, would it look like the Hase YF-19? This one looks a bit... (no fat shaming here) bulkier, or is it just me? Quote

The fighter is always a bit thinner on the non cg Macross stuff, but hasegawa usually compromises on their battroids to make them appear more realistic. But then the battroids usually end up looking too skinny or very straight legged rather than the more rounded shape that they should be Quote

I was slow and missed that one in the original release, so I’m glad to see it being rerun. Quote

lechuck Posted April 4 Posted April 4 5 hours ago, no3Ljm said: The 1/72 YF-19 Battroid's details looks good I might say. Yeah... not feeling it, Battroid looks "stiff", there is no flair to it. The front feet are not right, the YF-19 has never had such strong incline towards the shin/ankle area. The Plamax kits will probably also kill this in the articulation department. I don't know, this all feels a bit too late from Hasegawa. Quote

I don't know, this all feels a bit too late from Hasegawa. I feel the same about this. Just as an odd comparison, here’s a pic of the Max Factory VF-19 showing off a bitthe hasegawa Yf-19 doesn’t look like it has the ability to do this kind of pose, but may have some hidden joints, but it definitely doesn’t look very good Quote
kajnrig Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Back when I was younger I might've given it tons and tons of crap for not being "anime accurate," but now I've realized that's a frakking pipe dream anyway. As it is, I like it quite a lot. I certainly like it a lot more than I do the DX rendition, and I think so far it holds up under scrutiny a bit better than the HG, which I really liked at first but have found this or that niggling issue with ever since. Turns out dedicated-mode kits is STILL the way to go. The attention to detail is typically high as expected of Hasegawa. I especially like that it includes different heels depending on your preference. The fighter/battroid heels were always an impossible design feature for each other to implement, so fair on them to just throw in the towel and let you do the choosing. Quote
TMBounty_Hunter Posted April 4 Posted April 4 YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS! I can sell off my extra YF-19 valk kits that were meant to be bases for converstions to battroid! Now....now just announce the VF-19kai valk kit.... Quote
Big s Posted April 4 Posted April 4 1 hour ago, TMBounty_Hunter said: Now....now just announce the VF-19kai valk kit.... It will probably be a while before hasegawa tries that one since Max Factory is putting theirs out. And likewise for Max Factory doing the YF-19, but things may move along faster than expected due to everyone trying to cash in on plus and 7 right now. I’m curious about who’s gonna do a VF -11 battroid kit first between the 1/72 Hasegawa or a 1/72 Max Factory or a 1/100 Bandai and which version it would be Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Max Q-Rau is up on HLJ: https://www.hlj.com/1-72-scale-quadran-law-max-movie-version-hsg65886 But not the YF-19 yet. Quote

It’s been up everywhere since last night. All the hasegawa releases posted above including the YF-19 battroid and Max’s Queadluun Rau were up for preorder already, but hlj for some reason still doesn’t have them on the front page. If you go to preorders and click sci fi , then they’re on that first page. HLJ really needs to fix their website Quote

KOG Water Dragon Posted April 8 Author Posted April 8 Pre-ordered both! I quite like the look of the YF-19 battroid actually. Hopefully a 1/72 YF-21 battroid will follow in.... time. Quote

Big s Posted April 9 Posted April 9 1 hour ago, electric indigo said: After the TV Q-Rau plz. I have a feeling that they will probably do the cannon fodder purple from the movie first, but I hope that they do something a bit different for the zentraedi. Tv Queadluun Rau would be great or the movie version of the Nousjadel Ger would really make me happy. To be honest I’d be happy with the Glaug or Gnerl as well. Quote
Bolt Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Got mine pre ordered. Looking forward to what Hasegawa comes up with next. Quote
KOG Water Dragon Posted April 9 Author Posted April 9 7 hours ago, electric indigo said: After the TV Q-Rau plz. I assume I'm not alone in this, but i always loved the VFs best when it comes to Macross. So while I'm interested in some enemy mecha for diversity, I'll always be most interested in things like 1/72 YF-21 battroid, 1/72 VF-11 battroid, 1/72 VF-1J Max super battroid, 1/72 VF-1D battroid, 1/48 YF-21 fighter, 1/48 VF-11 fighter, 1/48 VF-1D fighter, 1/48 VE-1 fighter, and 1/48 VT-1 fighter. Not much to ask for, right? 😆 That said, I'm looking forward to a 1/72 Glaug and I really hope they do it. TV Rau would be cool too. Quote
