www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-102736-1-1.htmlLooks like it's gonna be expensive! A wee bit over $100. At 1/144 scale I just can't justify the purchase of it. I have a feeling it's gonna be super complex, fragile (even as an SHCM-Pro) and unstable. Unless I see some stuff that absolutely compels me to get this, I'll just be buying the Damashiis instead.

well SHCM are the pinicale of bandai gundams, they have the detail of a GFF (w/ABS plastic to boot) and are super articulated, they also come with a crap load of extras, hell i wouldnt be surprised if the have the full armor parts for unicorn with this. for me SHCM pros are a must have!

BBTS just listed the SHCM Pro Gundam Unicorn. I love that it transforms, but $129 for an HCM Pro is kind of steep.

The transformation has a little parts swapping for the knees and head... but yeah everything else should fold out like the MG. And I agree with mechmaster, the SHCM's are the best Gundams Bandai has to offer... to bad they don't make them in 1/100.
Also... a little variety wouldn't hurt either, remember how the original series of HCM's had several different robots?

yes from L-gaim to ........ i dunno but yeah they covered more robots. I do wish they incorporated thier articulation with GFFs design to make the ultimate GFF MC, but for some reason bandai cant put all thier heads together, or maybe they make more money this way. BTW HCM pro is no more excpet for SHCM pro, apparently Robot damashii has taken over for both HCM and MSIA lines.
You can get SHCM pro Unicorn for $98 preorder at HLJ which is crap loads cheaper then BBTS.

They did the Valkyries from the Original Macross, Raideen, Walker Gallia, L Gaim, and Vifam.
Did Bandai really confirm that they were done with HCM Pro? If so it's kind of fitting that they sent off the series with the 30th Anniversary RX-78.

Yeah, I noticed the line kind of gave up after the 00 releases. Oh well, I agree the scale on those figures was too small, though there are a few I'd like to pick up at some point. The lack of series diversity I think is what hurt HCM the most... but I'll still get the SHCMS as they come out- I still have to track down the LGaim one from the 80's.
