They're about three months later than release. I ordered from Amazon and they just told me it will be late and will cancel in November if they don't show.

Only 58. I still never finished the original Ninja Gaiden... https://www.famitsu.com/article/202510/55345 —Itagaki’s final message (English translation)— Words I Leave Behind The flame of my life is finally about to go out. If this message has been posted, it means that the time has come. I am no longer in this world. (This final post has been entrusted to someone dear to me.) My life was a series of battles. And I kept on winning. I know I caused trouble for many along the way. But I followed my convictions and fought to the very end. I have no regrets. Only one thing weighs on me — I’m deeply sorry to all my fans that I couldn’t bring you a new work. I truly am. That’s just how it is. So it goes. Tomonobu Itagaki ——- -
AoA Cyke and Weapon X are due out the 25th. Rogue is very likely delayed until December now.

Damn animated-style soft features.

Probably because they help fund his new Macross stuff.

As I recall the locking mechanism was highly particular. But when it's in place those damn things won't budge, even when you want to transform it. On the other hand, Yamato's pall jointed ankles are the biggest flaw with both the 17 and 19. I don't recall what the fix was.
-
The legs do lock into place in fighter... If Bandai were going to have a semi-partformer anything to start with the 21 would have been it. The legs already detach for limiter mode so it makes the absolute most sense to make use of that gimmick for a slimmer fighter profile.
-
Yamato missed that detail back in the day, too. Of course this is just a shrunk version of that but the gunpod did already exist in 1/60 as it does 1/100 now.
-
I cancelled mine. I'm just not that curious about the engineering to buy a 1/60 I don't like.
-
Took em right off...

They don't twist, those are separate shoulder parts. Believe me, if you twist those things hard enough they're snapping off.

Leader looks pretty damn good.

I'd like to get Executioner but I only want Phantom Rider. All of the newer figures are losing waist cuts and ab crunches. I'll bet Hasbro are going to start cutting things now that the HasBlow's trained them to release $50 figures.
-
I decided to try to crack off a pair of the Gerwalk shoulders. It's a little bit more than just a peg holding on there. One had very little glue and I was able to work it off then trim the nub with sprue clippers and polish down. The other was kind of a mess. There's a little bit of a dent.

Has anybody attempted to remove their speaker fins yet?

You realize they're doing none of that, right?

1.31 Regulatory Charges. 7.47 Duties (They marked the item as from Japan, not China, so it's only 15% and they valued the item at $24.90 each) 17 For Duty Tax Processing. Interesting note about the Duty Tax Processing. HLJ are overcharging for that. Based on the size/weight of the P versus a Mafex (and my previous shipment from them) they've also doubled the base DHL price. I did the math on the real price. Total if they did full price and marked from China should have been 91.30.
-
Well, BigInJapan ROYALLY undervalued that item. We'll see if DHL catches this.
-
The ankles are still a glaringly big one, as is the backpack scratching the canopy. Intake joint being so limited is a secondary problem that should be corrected as well.
-
I'm not sure Amazon is going to follow through.
-
They still need to fix a few issues on it to be honest.
-
That's total, or without the additional tariffs, etc?
-
I'm not sure I'm actually going to get my Tread's from Amazon.
-
Leave it to Bandai to be 0 for 3 on getting a decent looking mode. It's totally a 171 with an oversized head. Looks terrible.

I ran across so much hyperbolic non-sense looking around it was hard to discern who actually knew what. I figured after HLJ shipped my Andrew Garfield Spider-Man I'd get a clear picture. I straight asked them about the different charges. Brought up that AG Spider-Man was being charged 15% but the new Scarlet Spider was 30% and was told AG was made in Japan but SS wasn't... okay. So then I asked even if that were true why is it that the baseline charging for DHL more than doubled along with whatever that service charge was. I received a curt reply, they don't make those numbers... and that was it, no more responses. What Derex and vladykins quoted is precisely what I paid for AG. Now it would be nearly $100. So I have no clear picture. I know Big In Japan has offered to put down COO for the 19P as Japan, don't know what the baseline price is going to be anymore though, they haven't responded to me. In terms of shipping quality, for where I live in Albuquerque my preference in order is FedEx, DHL, UPS and USPS. FedEx and DHL are nearly identical, UPS has two stations with their own little fifedoms and it always takes 24-48 hours to ship between the two before they will deliver to my area of town. I've had multiple packages from USPS reach the substations five minutes from my house completely disappear. I was already primed to pay a lot more in shipping to avoid that constant headache.
