Rewind has won the thread.

 

Those of you who got the Armored 1J from HI METAL R, what are your thoughts?

I hope a company makes great quality, highly affordable, perfect transformation VF-1 toys. I don't care if joints are exposed. The 1/55 swing bars don't bother me. I want straight up toys. I don't mind the Arcadias nor the Bandais however I think the niche I describe has yet to be filled.

Like damn I would be excited if Bandai made a 1/72 line heavily based on their 1/55's with minor alterations. I would be giddy.

 

I'd be all about this too. It's pretty astonishing that the best "toy" valkyrie is still the old Takatoku/Bandai from 1982! I suppose 30 years out, VF-1 figures are squarely in collector territory; a figure that sacrifices sculpt/anime accuracy for durability and play-ability probably isn't a priority. Hi Metal seems neat, but I don't think it's what you're looking for...

 

Still looking for a VF-1s Hi-Metal R preorder. Can't believe I missed it on the initial strike.

 

First image for Macross Delta! Are those delta wings I see there?

 

Hell yeah.

 

It almost looks like a VF-0D, VF-19 and VF-25 all mixed together.
Which makes sense I guess since they all poured forth from the same Holy Floating Head.

Now I'll just sit back and hope the battroid mode isn't wearing basketball shoes.

 

I already foresee copious amounts of back kibble.

 

Seriously no more Nike or Adidas valkyries!

 

I can only hope the wings lay flat like the 0D.

I don't think I can handle any more perpendicular backpack wings.

 

Better and clearer image. Get in here macross fans show your love!

 

Is that...

Is that a single engine on that red fighter?

Please tell me that's a single engine.

 

Looks kind of like a ghost fighter. We need variable ghost fighters! Do it Kawamori!

 

Hey man. Hey. No. This is Macross, not some sort of...weird, crazy, reality-bending trash that would have the audacity to feature a single engine aircraft. I mean, I know it's sci-fi and all, but you gotta have limits to what is believable and what is just...pure unfiltered insanity.
















(I think you're right!)

 

No! No Ghost! I want that damned thing to transform!
