You're welcome. Voted too.

Next DX will almost certainly be the armor for the 31S. I'd also update the HMR poll to change VF1EX into "some other VF1 release"

Enough 31 already, let’s invest in the new DX Macross Plus toyssss! 

[HardlyNever]

Honestly, every section of that poll should be a check box (not radio button).  None of those things are mutually exclusive, as we've had multiple dx and HMR releases for several years.

Also, by "announced" do you mean we get an actual pre-order and release?  Because several of those items have already been teased/announced, we just don't know if/when we will get them.

And they often announce things at the same time.  The DX YF-19 and 1/48 VF-1 were both shown at last year's Tamashii Nations.

Just give us the other 2 HMR Desdroids already, and the N-Ger and Q-Rau while they're at it.

[spacemanoeuvres]

I want a DX YF-21 to pose alongside the YF-19. 

HMR destroids would be good too

>> The DX/HMR sections track the next release respectively, hence the single choice.

>>Yup

And they often announce things at the same time.  The DX YF-19 and 1/48 VF-1 were both shown at last year's Tamashii Nations.

>> Section 3 is multiple choice, so choose to your hearts content.

yeah wanted to put the armor in a separate category (non-valk), but seeing it was pretty much a given, creating a separate section just for it seems pointless..
I put VF-1EX in as it got teased before. Was there another VF-1 teased which i missed? Consider it in the other's tickbox if so....

Maybe the DX question should be 'assuming the 31 armor is there, what DX surprises would you like to see?'

The Hayao tv 1A, cavaliers 1A (kinda) both have been on display, the 1D was on the voting list and there may have been others I'm not recalling. That's why 'other vf1' seems a better fit but if someone is hoping specifically for the be EX releases, I guess this works.

>> That would be best answered by a post here instead of a poll, since 'what' seems quite generic. Section 3 is open ended enough to cover it, followed by your wish posted here perhaps?

>> Yeah, the VF-1EX were the last new HMR VF-1 , i could think of. I don't recall hayao TV1A/cavaliers/1D ever shown before in HMR form...but if you thk it could be one of those, then yeah, tick it as other HMR ...

There are these two although the Armored VF-1A is not the Cavaliers.  That’s why @jenius wrote Cavaliers 1A (kinda).

[seti88]

Ah ok, i also kinda have the armored (black) in the list...i had tot it was a 1J....

As for hayao TV1A chalk it up to the other category....

i was fishing for some valks i may have missed in the what's next for bandai thread (before i finalised the poll) but to cover any missed items, just put it as others....

印象的なドクロマーク！

最近、額にこのようなドクロ意匠がついているロボの商品も発表したばかりですが、これはちょっと違いますね。この画像は、局部的にクローズアップしたものですので、全体像については近日の情報公開をお待ちください。

ヒントは、「１９」や「１」に続く、あのプロジェクトの新ラインナップ……!?
「Ｒ」のつくあのブランドから登場します。

"R"? 

as in HM-R? 

or something else? 

Edited October 12, 2018 by treatment

[HardlyNever]

Could be the vf-4g in Flashback 2012 colors for HMR?  The color scheme is right, but the shape is wrong, so I'm not sure.  Unless that is gray on the right side of the pic ?  It is a possibility.

Otherwise, it looks like just another dyrl Hikaru release, but HMR already has his  DYRL VF-1S and VF-1A out, so I don't know what else it could be.

Maybe a 1/48 VF-1S tease?

The "appears with the brand R" definitely seems to imply HM-R.  The "19 or 1" is super confusing, though.  "1?"  What doesn't have a 1 in it?

[treatment]

If not HM-R, then could be the next DX VF-1.

newest announcement following the YF-19 or VF-1J maybe??

Otherwise that line would lead to thoughts of "21"(after 19 and 1)

sure looks like a VF-4 tailfin... any other Black/Red Skull Squadron tail design that's got a red horizontal stripe?

Yup.  Sure looks like it.

Iirc, Bandai did show a VF-4 prototype in some previous TNs before.

Cool, I have a 1/60 vf-4 but I would pickup an HMR version. 

The HMR are nice but I would be more excited For some DX news.

Me too, specially if they will do the Hikaru's VF-4

[chyll2]

[Sanity is Optional]

Notsure I'd buy one in 1/60, but in HMR scale I'd go for it.

[Sildani]

The Arcadia VF-4 didn’t do much for me, but an HM-R model, at HM-R prices, I’d go for.

VF-4 FB2012 scheme? Whether it's going to be HM-R or DX. I'll going to get it for sure.

Nice to get something besides a VF-1 variant. Hope we get a destroid or YF-21 next.

It looks really nice in fighter mode but I never transformed mine so I can’t speak for battroid or gerwalk; wasn’t crazy about the pics I’ve seen. 

[wmkjr]

Been almost 3 years since they teased the HMR version.  Hopefully pics are allowed this time.

Refresher or the newer peeps. From October 2015. On the right:

That's cool if it is a VF-4, but DAMMIT Bandai!! Finish the Destroids and give us a TV QRau! 

[jenius]

IIRC the podcast at the time, the VF-4 wasn't just a 3D print job like the DX VF-19Kai is second from the left... so I'd be optimistic that it really is in the pipeline. That said, we know the Phalanx and Tomahawk have been fully engineered, and the N-Ger was rumored to be an actual mock-up as well. Man, I want so many toys....

Edited October 13, 2018 by jenius

[Sanity is Optional]

Maybe they're going in order?

VF-1

VF-2

VF-4

 

So, the next one after would be the VF-11?

[seti88]

Hmr vf-4! Vf-4! 

hopefully the horse awakens!!

and it looks like there will b Macross at TN after all! Hehe

and perhaps the 19 wording means vf-19 Kai DX?!

[Shukenzero]

Totally be down for a DX YF-21, but Chuck comes first. Along with Kairos super parts and Armor for the 31S

[jenius]

In 2 weeks... all will be known...

Okay, looking at it again, I think the cryptic line is just another tease of an HMR VF-4. Following the 19 and the 1, in a line that has the R... 

Maybe this is just me trying to keep my hopes down.

In that case, get your ammunition locked and loaded for the onslaught of new goodies to be released!
