Wow. All you people out making amazing customs. And some of those paint techniques are interesting that I might have to try them. Fantastic work all. Myself, still having fun with my old school 1/55 shenanigans.

Yeah, but Conan never had to deal with a forum filled with grown men on MacrossWorld giving their opinions and griefs over toys. Conan had a sword. I have a Takatoku with pointy nose cone and a projectile filing GU-11 that would take out any barbarians’ eye out. 🙈

Same here. I don’t think I have very many what’s called MIB untouched toys. I enjoy buying complete and original, but believe me my kids and I have played with everything we own. It’s all about the enjoyment, education, and sharing.

I am all in agreement with your statement. But as of recent, there have been quite few resellers just whitening and reselling them without notifying buyers of how they have altered them and have attempted to sell them as mint. Would be nice if people were more honest about these practices. Personally, it’s not my place to say what people do with their own toys. After all it is yours enjoy it as you wish.

Looks like quite a few have undergone the RetroBright treatment. These would be good for customizing. So many people are bleaching toys nowadays either for personal collections or reselling that it really makes me wary of buying bright white or pristine toys. Not only that, these are usually taken apart and reassembled haphazardly.😪

After 40 years the Gen 1 VF-1 still looks great. No wonder it’s one of those toys every collector should have at least one in their collection.

Looking good and definitely a suitable place holder. Looks great without the panel lining. Maybe a top coat should be added to protect the decals and stickers.

Those came out great! Way to go on helping a member out. Happy 2024!

I remember those. Poor translations always came back with Persimmon Squadron. So now I know. Thanks.

Dry nice recollection. I am all in for the list as you’ve outlined it, but would add a VF-X TEST and possibly a Mechanical VF-1. i do have one question though, what if the BLAZER SQUADRON?

Appears to be screw hole cover doubling as a lens.

Well it will have a world wide release so this shouldn’t be too hard to obtain.

I can hardly wait!! Overall the proportions look fantastic. All the tampo on this makes it look really good.

Not necessarily. It would add more realism. The mecha needs a pilot for diorama purposes. 😜

Does anyone know if Arcadia made any improvements over the Yamato mold?

What about a full cast of 1/55 scale figures. It would have been nice to have pilots for a lot of the mechs.

I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. And boy do I try finding these rare Valkyries and bootlegs alike. It’s hard dirty business nobody wants, but I don’t mind. 😜

Well I’ll be damned. Thanks for making that crystal clear.

But that’s a sticker.

Oh boy. I think you should grab a cup of coffee start at the beginning of this thread and enjoy the read.

Very cool. Welcome to the club!

Finally it stands without additional support. I love it.

Very nice. You could do a single seat CF 1D, but given your attention to detail I am sure a true CF 1D is in your future.

Thanks Mark.

Will be on display…
