    I love the way the 25F looks with the Tornado parts on in Gerwalk but I just do not trust leaving those wing bits on. It flexes the tiny backpack joints way too much for me to feel comfortable.

    Oddly, the 0A/D missing the UN Spacy on the legs didn't look out of place to me at all. But with the additions of the Skulls this one it does look a bit bare. Luckily for me I enjoy trimming and place decals so it won't be a problem but I think they should have done the tampo this time around.

    Christ, I forgot I ordered two of these things... and the Revo Ultron. $677 slapped on me today, and the car still needs repairs paid for.

    So Figuarts Stormtroopers and the Death Star Version Movie Realization Vader arrived today. Advantages to the Figuarts Stormtrooper. Actually poseable, unlike the horrible, not-even-able-to-bend-their-arms-at-fifty-degrees Hasbro Versions. Sculpt looks great. Armor all around works just like the clone troopers as far as I can tell. Downside, only comes with the blaster rifle, unlike the Hasbro one which also has a little pistol sidearm. Also, the blaster cannot be mounted on the leg armor like the Hasbro version can. But there is a fold down stock on the rifle, no doubt to be used with Snowtroopers, etc. Also, the feet don't appear to be completely flat. There's a slight curvature upward as you move towards the front of the foot that makes the figure want to fall forward. Such an odd thing to include. Vader. Okay, this mold has more differences than I realized. It basically looks like the right hand has the gauntlet removed and looks more steam-punk/cyborg mechanical underneath. it's very cool looking. Obviously it has an additional holder for the second sword/scabbard on the belt. The giant Death Star thing on his forehead is a separate piece and slides on to an INCREDIBLY tiny bit of plastic on the front of the helmet. If this thing takes a nose dive off a shelf expect it to break. Odd decision to make considering the helmet is so dark you could have included a larger hole for the death star to peg into and you couldn't notice. Otherwise it's pretty much the same figure. If I had to choose I'd say this Vader looks far more interesting and the giant Death Star crest on his forehead pops out much more than the tiny, dark Imperial logo from the first release. I'd recommend the Death Star Version.

    Just need to pick up my two First Order ST's and Death Star Movie REalization Vader at Fed Ex this afternoon. Kylo Ren isn't expected to show up until Christmas Eve.

    I don't collect Hot Toys but it's very interesting to see War Machine Mk. III here in HT form. Not sure why everybody needs a club these days but otherwise I love the hybrid Iron Man 2/Age of Ultron look. http://news.toyark.com/2015/12/19/captain-america-civil-war-war-machine-hot-toys-185653

    What's the first line and what is arch?

    Bandai DX VF-31

    Mommar replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    No, we already saw pics with the cannons flipped out along the sides of the legs under the wings in Fighter mode.

    Why wouldn't you stay? The music is as much a character in Star Wars as anything else. You'd be walking out on part of the story as far as I'm concerned.

    I think size to style-wise Mafex has the best version of Vader out there. The sad thing about the Figuarts Vader is that they couldn't even keep it in scale with their RotJ Luke. Luke is taller than Vader is. Vader is supposed to be ~6'6". That being said Adam Driver is 6'3" so not that far off, but he should be a tad shorter than Vader is. I think somebody at Bandai screwed up and undersized Vader, like he was supposed to be in scale with the Avengers line instead of the Star Wars line or something.
  11. Mommar
    Hmm, maybe a Spider-Man too? If it is Civil War. Also, does anybody know how to cancel a Mykombini pre-order?
  12. Mommar
    Given the fact that at release they're all getting in a few pieces of each maybe I should wait and see if I can nab a Captain Phasma around release time instead.

    I have no fricking idea when I'll have a chance to see this movie.
  14. Mommar
    I'm rather enjoying that, for some odd reason.
  15. Mommar
    Yeah, the Post Office around New Mexico is horrendous. I always pay extra for Fed Ex to avoid dealing with them. Plus now I'm never home to pick up packages and FedEx stays open later and it's closer to where my Mom's Long Term Care Facility is so I can easily pick stuff up from them.

    I haven't seen any. I can't do a comparison of Kylo Ren, I never got the Black Series version. I do have two Black Series First Order Storm Troopers so I can do those, however I'd imagine if you wait a week or so they'll have a review plus comparison up on The Fwoosh. One of the guys there gets all of the figures, even the Bandai model kits that fit together like the Gundam models do, he already compared the Black Series, Bandai Model Kit and Figuarts versions of Vader and the Storm Troopers so I imagine he'll do one for the new Stormtroopers as well. If you're curious about scale the Figuarts Kylo Ren is posed next to the Figuarts First Order Stormtrooper and Figuarts Vader. I can tell you that the Figuarts Vader is undersized and is about as tall as a Black Series Stormtrooper. Kylo Ren is the same size as that Figuarts Vader so it's safe to assume he's undersized too as the Black Series original and First Order Stormtroopers stand at about the same height. The Black Series First Order Stormtroopers will stand quite a bit taller than the Figuarts ones given the Figuart FO Stormtrooper is shorter than both Vader and Kylo in that picture as well.

    For those of you who use Hobby Link Japan often, what does it mean if three of your orders show a release date but the last one says "Discontinued?" Kylo Ren is not listed as being released this month. I'm wondering if I should jump over to Nippon-Yasan real fast and buy one there if HLJ isn't actually going to send me anything.
  18. Mommar
    Really? They didn't yet? I have Fed Ex tracking and everything already. And today they shipped the second Death Star version Movie Realization Vader.
  19. Mommar
    Yeah, when he said he never liked the franchise to begin with. Regardless, you don't go around telling everybody the last thing your boss did sucked ass within earshot. That's not how you keep getting work.
  20. Mommar
    From what I understand she pretty much has no screen time in this film... so close to this.
  21. Mommar
    NY just shipped my two First Order Stormtroopers. HLJ seems to be taking their time with Kylo Ren.
  22. Mommar
    That's political speak for, "it sucked but JJ is executive producer and I don't want to be fired so we'll just not mention it either way." Which is actually a good thing, because Simon Pegg had a similar non-comment about Into Darkness.
  23. Mommar
    I'll probably stick with one Riot and one Cannon trooper.
  24. Mommar
    Ladies and Gentlemen, irony.
  25. Mommar
    I'd be all over an Arcadia version.
