I doubt it will be exclusive just to that event. That would be losing too much potential revenue. Expand I kinda wonder if the event version will still somehow be different. Maybe a slipcase, or a free gift with it. If not, the draw is not as intense. I'd say the same for the Gundam or other releases they'll have there. Quote

Expand That's a very interesting question, indeed. I hope the Macross name gets more and more attention globally. I think Bandai is thinking the same.. Quote
Tking22 Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 I might bite, I love me some M&M variants, and I really like my Roy 0S. Quote
technoblue Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 For me, the “genius” livery is sooo conflicting. I would love to see more uncommon and interesting non-canon paint schemes and I also like blue…but this is so on the nose: a VF-0S made up like the 1J. I need to think about it. Quote

ValkAddict Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Pass for me. Please release the VF-0A grey/Shin variant Bandai ... c'mon!! Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Two pics from my poopy camera lol. I don't own any HiRM but the blue doesn't appear to be painted, but molded. Quote
Bolt Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 I like the color. Thanks for sharing @PsYcHoDyNaMiX 👍🏼 Quote
sh9000 Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 With this release there's probably going to be a Revival VF-1J Max now with white and this blue down the line. Quote
jenius Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Do we know any release information about it? Quote

TheLoneWolf Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Max's color scheme really makes the VF-0 design pop! Now if we could only get some non-canon Fast Packs with this non-canon paint scheme. 😛 Quote
jenius Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Looks like it will be available for more than a month from the Tokyo store so hopefully that means it won't be so hard to come by. Quote

jvmacross Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Not bad...but they should just have stuck with the Tamashii 15th logo by itself like they have in the past.....at least for the front of the box...I like the minimalist look... ...actually, I can't recall now and mine are stashed away...was the Tamashii 10th a slip-sleeve cover?

Instead of the traditional Tamashii logo, it’s a photo of the product. Same I believe with the other products that’s coming out during the event. E.g. Figuarts Miles Morales below sporting the same anniversary banner. Quote

I had assumed there would be one for the event before you posted that. I just wonder if that's solely for the event, and whether the box underneath is designed to be salable alone (UPC, etc). Quote
MKT Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 I guess we are used to nice art on HMR boxes, which can double up for some nice background display. The box on this HMR VF-0S Max will be stuffed together with Arcadia boxes - right at the back of a closet. Quote
