jvmacross Posted July 14, 2022 Author Posted July 14, 2022 HMR Tenjin Boxart...seems it's like the HMR VF-2SS packaging with the "window" in the back of the box...nice Quote
twich Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 So looking at the latest pictures, it looks as though Bandai might actually offer the Hi Metal R VF-0S with rubber, rolling wheels on the landing gear and they almost looked metal on that closeup. Twich Quote

Twich I’m pretty sure those are just painted black Quote
DewPoint Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 As the VF-0 isn't that much bigger than the VF-1, it makes me wonder if we might see a HMR VF-1 Renewal of sorts. Quote

Hmr is basically the renewal. Although they have added some new thing here and there like the smaller wings and later the upper shoulder cover. And in some pics it looks like side covers if they ever get around to the tv 1s Quote
Lolicon Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 What's with the bent wings and landing gear? And why do all the details look soft and blurry like a screenshot from an N64 game? Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) The wings look like they're doing the wave 😆 Edited July 23, 2022 by MacrossJunkie Quote

Maybe they'll include a decal sheet when released... Quote

Now the more I look at it, the more the panel line details look more like Yamato’s VF-0; soft and thick, rather than the sharp and finer lines of Arcadia’s. Quote

Yep. It looks like something out of an N64 game. Bandai is perfectly capable of sharp, crisp molding for this line (see Regult) but the molds for this and the VF-1 look like someone left them out in the sun too long. It's looks pretty low quality for its US $160 (plus tax) price tag. Quote
eXis10z Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 Any history of the general releases being much better than the prototypes or is that it? Quote

Tking22 Posted July 25, 2022 Posted July 25, 2022 It sure is pretty, I'm still baffled I'll be able to get this from BBTS after all these years of importing my valks. I don't mind the mark-up too much, I never pay for the cheaper shipping options from my overseas stores so the shipping is always really rough, BBTS is just so much more convenient, mark-up be damned.

Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 10, 2022 Posted August 10, 2022 I'm always desperate for new pics!!! 😄 Quote

Big s Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Hope it’s not too hard to get the chest plate into place. It seems they couldn’t do it or just didn’t know they did it wrong Quote
jvmacross Posted October 20, 2022 Author Posted October 20, 2022 Waiting for the -0S next to the -1S pics to roll in.... Quote

Here's my post from the other HMR thread: Quote I used Ataru's Facebook photo to upscale VF-0S to its correct height/scale against VF-1S based on its official Battroid height specs. VF-1 Battroid at 12.68 meters and VF-0S at 14 meters. I used those numbers to the top of the head and not to the head lasers. I know most members will say that they're not standing straight. Yes, they're not, but I tweaked the legs straight in Photoshop so I can measure it properly and created a guide to be able to use it on the leg sprayed pose. And this is what I came up with. What do you guys think? Quote
