    So far my tracking is unchanged saying only label created. But hopefully this means movement is imminent.

    Please post here once your tracking actually shows movement.

    WB wrote Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins $20 million dollar checks each when they sent Wonder Woman 2 to HBO Max to avoid exactly this situation. Even though that movie was possibly even a bigger turd. Disney should have done the same to avoid the knock on their image by screwing over the first female Avenger. Especially when they were marketing Black Widow as a MeToo movie.

    I’m in the same boat as you. Please post back here with whatever they tell you.

    My Luna Park tracking is the same with the same dates. Still not handed over to DHL after 4 days.

    I’d like to see a Batou figure stuffed into that same cockpit, lol. He gets inside one in the show too, if I remember correctly. I think in real life most people would lose their crap stuffed into a confined space like that. But that figure is damn cool.

    1/55's revisited

    Yeah, it’s the Bandai mold used for Matchbox. They just ground the Bandai name and any copyright info off the bottom of the feet on the molding. You can see and feel the unevenness on that area of the feet where the mold was altered. Otherwise it’s actually of similar quality to the original. Much better than their valk bootleg. Added pics of the box top, sides, back, and the feet bottoms.

    I think this awesome new bootleg that Alex has uncovered was made by the same factory that did this VF-1S Strike knockoff. Which is also a boot of a gift set that should include armor, they just didn’t include the armor! The box opens from the side just in the same way and it’s the same red-shoulders valkyries inside - just white vs grey. Also, I actually have that SDF-1 that’s in the video along with it and it’s definitely a bootleg. So now I know who made it as well! Great work on another awesome box variant discovery!

    I like this show but it bugs me how Mark and Omni Man’s invulnerability is very subjective. One scene they fly through mountains or anything really without a scratch. Same with missiles and alien lasers. Then Invincible gets his guts caved in by some lion guy with a mace, and later his dad,, and both times they can operate on him with standard surgical tools and put IV’s in his arm? How does that work? Is he only invulnerable when he’s awake? And why waste 18+ years becoming Earth’s superhero, winning hearts and minds, when you planned to beat the planet into submission anyway? He could have gotten the job done in a day. Makes no sense.

    Just got in the SX-01 Thunder Warrior because I’m a sucker for the F4 Phantom. Size comparison with a DX VF-1. I’ll post plane pics once I transform him.

    Thanks

    Keith, where did you get those details? I’ve seen all the Evangelion series and movies and never heard any of that in them.
  13. glane21
    Well done. The carded examples of this line have gotten super pricey these days!

    Also interesting that the tail wings do not have the black stripe with Jolly Roger painted on them. Years on a Takatoku warehouse shelf! It’s the toy version of barn find dream. Not sure I would’ve had Kawamori sign this particular piece.

    What was the description on the Yahoo auction? Did the seller claim it was the jet fire packaging prototype? Or mention how they got hold of it?

    Looks really good. They got a lot of the visuals correct that the technology at the time of the 1984 film couldn’t deliver, e.g. the thopters look like dragonflies and the worm scale and movement.

    It’s true, I bought a new VE-1 back in the day that came with the jet fire armor rather than correct domed packs. Didn’t include the heat shield either if remember correctly. There was no warning from the seller so I was quite unpleasantly surprised. This was before internet was ubiquitous - old school mail order - so not much recourse. I believe it was from The Robot Store in New York. The same outfit that ran ads in Comico’s Robotech comics. I still have one of their old photocopy catalogs somewhere.

    Great collection @fifbeat !

    Al Matthews is dead, must be his estate.

    I remember being at Spencer’s Gifts in the mall in 1984. They were riding high on the robot toy craze but everything they had was a bootleg or repackage of the real deal. They had a huge stack of LionBot deluxe sets and a a giant wall of Convertors. It was glorious. I bought the VF-1S Convertor. I remember the girl at the counter was wearing a dog collar. Lol, the 80’s.

    I just have a hard time seeing him as anything but the Falcon from the MCU at this point.
  23. glane21
    I have some of the rarer Convertors and other Henkel knockoffs for sale if anyone is interested. **Convertors SDF-1 Nofka, Super Valk Zardak, and both Space Gandams are sold**

    How does the Arcadia scale to your Wilde Sau model? Post a pic!

    Precision painted eyebrows but no eyes. Way to save costs Arcadia, great job.
