PO'd at hlj. i have the grey goggle'd set with the good shoulders already but i feel liek the GBP is special....kinda want another and to put something else besides a 1j in it.
-
people know this is a different product than toynami's right? just because its robotech doesn't mean its the same. FWIW, oritoys' acid rain toys have nice build quality. i'm excied to see if these turn out awesome or not.
-
being that yamato sold them for like $30 or so i'm ok with that.
-
that is really cool. makes me kinda want one. doubly so if it actually walks. must be a vintage item. i've no knowledge of this release!
-
i sold all my metal build stuff....but i do have the reissue origins rx-78-2 metal composite on preorder anyone know if that is the same stand adapter? i think its a #1009 reissue.
-
i think these look pretty awesome....having owned the toynami morpher crap this is way way way better...i hope this is still happening!
-
hopefully this is the right place to drop these photos...
-
they are behind glass 100% of the time except when taking photos so that helps. i was going to try and do an "infinite" white shot but i realized that my valk was whiter than my background so i would have needed way more light than i had to make it happen. hehe

yup only one side mirror is accurate. most cars (in europe and japan) didn't have the passengar side mirror unti the late 70s or so i think. i made the same mistake. i took the extra one off and tried inserting it and quickly realized it was not only not fitting but th wrong orientation (it was meant for the other side....aka an extra for the driver side one). i think proceeded to quickly lose in somehow! lol. -
thanks! ok these are my first impressions since i only spend about 15 minutes with it before i started posing it for photos lol. in hand it is its smallish, light, and joints are tight. it has sharp edges and i do fear if it took a tumble some of the sharper feature would break (although again its light so maybe not?) its 1/144 and roughly 6 inches. i think it looks great. i wish the shoulder had more range of motion but with the shape of the design its probably impossible to do it and remain faithful to the anime. it comes with the requisite stand...i do'nt think i'd ever pose this thing not flying through space. i do wish it were bigger (the model kit is 1/100 which i think would be perfect size for this figure but i think this sentinel riobot release looks a bit better, partially because of the color scheme is anime accurate vs. manga. it photographs just like it looks...well it may look bigger in pictures i guess. lol. i would recommend it if you are a fan of the design, don't mind smallish figures that might be/feel delicate. unlike the other riobot release i've handled...there is no diecast.

you can always cancel hlj if you change your mind before its released. i kinda want this, i just don';t $260ish plus shipping want it. i kinda wish bandai had this license and did a dx chogokin web exclusive for $140ish. hehe
-
i'm hoping this is made in enough quantity to go on clearance. even with the preorder discount, its still a bitter pill to swallow for such a small toy....$250 plus shipping..still too much! i do love the way it looks though.

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
Mechapilot77 replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
hmm, so there is going to be a hot toys vader AND a sideshow vader separate from that (They are both doing SW it seems and isn't sideshow the distrutor of hot toys in america too?)....conflict of interest much? -
So it looks like even my "desperation" (at the time) preorders i didn't think would see the light of day (from yesasia) are coming through....i'm going to have too many ozmas! If by chance NY runs out before people who couldn't get a hold of one want one, i will be selling (in a week or so when it shows up) a couple ozmas at my cost.
-
well, here are some of mine...i picked ones that were more different to post....avoid the direct comparison! :-P
-
man i was editing my photos to clean them up. mine's like a poor man's version of yours though. lol...its not bad for me, bu just not as good as these.
-
dang that looks too awesome. i dno't even have those lego kits but now kinda want them.
-
that regult does look nice....i want like 3 of them unless they announce a variant with the heavy missile rack on top, then i'll only get 2 and one of those. i REALLY hope they do a glaug. i'd need to buy a vf-1j to battle with it though as i sold my high metal one off. i do kinda wish theses were 1/60 but they'd be huge and i couldn't house 3 regults or a glaug anywhere....i just hope they are as nice or nicer than they look.
-
looking at the pics in my thread, yeah i need this in my life, like 2 of them. i still think the original fighter mode on the arcadia is better but they aren't technically the same valk so its still not an apples to apples comparison but oh well. getting this....super packs look pretty good on there too. wonder if this valk will also show up in macross delta somehow.
-
woot finally scored one last night at NY at like 1 am. i'm assuming my other preorders won't come through. was suprised to see it was still up this morning when i got into work....its gone now though.
-
dammit bandai! i sold off my hi metals because i thought you gave up on the line!!
-
bring it!

someone care to translate that? or is that the thing that was seen by someone who said that, its not even written in good japanese so there might be some error in it anyway?
