Nice!
Have the green one. An excellent figure. Hope Bandai fixed few cons the green one had.

You got the Soltic? What were some of the issues? I'm waiting for a price drop like on the Brockary and Timp Custom.
With all the releases coming, Dougram line is not high on priority but I still eventually want them all.

Hey Getterboi
Here,s Cons( constructive criticism teehee) part from my very humble review
“Cons 1.Collapsable chest is not perfectly centered on mine. can't notice it when it’s displayed five feet from me, but def see it when youre Handling him.
2.with all the spring loaded mechanism inside , The chest is fragile enough to be of a concern. If I were you I would not to hold him by the chest when you are trying to ab crunch him...
3.His shoulder hinges (the forward movement points) are stupid tight...as in “id be stupid to try to move them without aid of mineral oil” tight...a very cheap move on Bandai to
4.And what is UP with REAR SKIRT only one not being hinged..? WHY? Bandai makes front and side skirt movable to accomodate leg movement but not rear skirt part...And Bandai does this to majority of their robot action figures with skirt. i mean...WHY? Is it the union what is it WTF?
5.The grey gun doesn't want to stay on too well....
6.The forarm armor piece is not on a hinge but just on pegs, so no articulation there but you can remove them.... Why?
7.The only painted parts are metal feet and his visor...oh and his tiny pilot is also painted. The rest of mech is just colored plastic.
8. The whole figure should be tad darker.
9.Now, finally, finally The price.....in an ideal “nice” universe this is at most, $90 before shipping. This is considering the price of smaller and cheaper Destroid HMR as a reference. BTW, why the HELL is this guy exclusive!? Just Dumb.....”

I’m passing then.. Bandai produces the most obscure characters HMR in mass release but not Roundface of course.

I was hesitant on putting the PO in for the blue Roundfacer, but seeing how the green one jumped so much in after market price, I'm not going to miss my chance to get a Roundfacer again.

Dammit Bandai, I don't care about the tank. Gimme a dang 1/60 Trailer Truck!

Yeah. Not sure what's the point of the tank, when the trailer is almost as important as part of the crew in the show, being used very often episode after episode.

Such a tease. I want more combat armors. Mackerel, Bushman, Ironfoot, Blockhead... The ones they made turned out so good, it hurts to think of what could have been.
edit: Looks like another Roundfacer release might be in the offing.

I missed out on the standard Roundfacer first time around, just had a lot of preorders that year. I did pick up the Korchima version later on. If the green one comes around again, I would get one. But yeah, wouldn't mind another different mech.

Silver paint, heavily tinted cockpit glass, some altered markings and other small changes. Not my bag, but here's hoping it sells like a miracle and gets Bandai to make some new molds. (Won't hold my breath.)

They could at least release a Blockhead and complete the original trifecta of dual-models -- and set themselves up for an easy repaint release at the same time.
(I'm clearly still in the bargaining stage of grief over the loss of potential Dougram toys, lol)

This could have been a very nice Dougram line. But I suppose the demand is just not there to keep it going. Blockhead would be a very welcome choice, if we just end up getting one more. Desert colorway, even better. Though a Bigfoot or Bushman is nice too.

It's nice to dream and you can't really guess the rhyme and reason Bandai goes at times so...chances could be good we'd get more Dougram toys...? Here's hoping...

Dammit Bandai, I don't care about the tank. Gimme a dang 1/60 Trailer Truck! The trailer is WAY hard for Bandai HMR team. They can’t do a good job…. It’s too complex ESPECIALLY if diecast is involved. Bandai is not good with diecast parts. I “double dog dare” Bandai to make that trailer diecast….it won’t because it CANT!

Hehe nice try with the reverse psychology there buddy. We know Bandai HAS made a big heavy figure for the HMR line before coz they made a Destroid Monster which was a huge surprise. And it weighs a whopping 1.6KG. I've been wishing on the Macross HMR forum here on RJ for them to finish the last 2 destroids, which hasn't seen a release since 2017.
