It sounds crazy but I would pay to have a display stand that could pose each of those VF-31's in that formation in the poster ..... though they'd have to be creative with Delta 4
-
Best of luck guys. I'm probably going to sit this one out as I got way too much work tomorrow morning :*(

Harmony Gold To Adapt ‘Macross Delta’ as Robotech Spin-Off
Duymon replied to crixskn's topic in Movies and TV Series
troll bait? -
Why are we even debating you know everyone's getting at least one of each
-
Delta 4's visor sticks out top like the YF-29's. Interesting. I watched the 1st preview episode and pretty much I'll buy the valks but not watch the show lol. it was just painful watching it for me :0 Prolly going to strip all 5 and customize them.

Experten 1/72 VF-5000G Star Mirage transformation kit
Duymon replied to Jefuemon's topic in Model kits
Yeah the Default Kit is choose one mode and build it that way. If you want to do perfect transform you get two limitations. (looks like they added this to the entry recently since i didn't see it lat time) You need to order the Experten Ratchet kit for an extra 2700 yen You cannot use the Detail parts for each mode. This includes the fighter intakes, the battroid cockpit and the Battroid alternate forearms which have better proportions. -
Experten 1/72 VF-5000G Star Mirage transformation kit
Duymon replied to Jefuemon's topic in Model kits
So, I read the Blog. Long story short, It's non-transforming kit. you gotta choose which mode you build it in. Each mode has their own respective detail up parts. Think of it like the Moscato Legios in terms up building (pick a mode, use those parts) 2nd, it's the Macross M3 version (5000B) that we only ever saw on Dreamcast. 3rd. It's not a color cast kit like his usual 1/100's. It's casted in grey 4th, MSRP is 25000 yen 5th, God Damnit I still want one -
I am really looking forward to these, but at the same time the MSRP of the YF-30 was like 20,000 so I don't expect these to be far off from that. Prolly looking at maybe one of each tops for this series.

That's weird because mine are all totally fine after 4 years and I have like 12 of them.

If Bandai included stands that would mess up their marketing strategy where they only sell stands in packs of 3, pressuring collectors to buy figures in 3's in order to "not waste a stand"
-
I think they changed their policy because so many people preordered tamashii exclusives and then didn't follow thru, leaving NY on the hook. It sucks because it was super convenient, but I can understand why they did it

Does somewhat unrealistic mecha controls ruin the fun for you?
Duymon replied to JLYC's topic in Movies and TV Series
Unless giant robots become a reality I doubt realism on the controls side is really gonna matter. I'm more surprised that none of the pilots in any of those gundam shows isn't blacking out or flat-out dead from the G's they'd experience doing all that crazy maneuvers. Hell, they aren't even wearing seat belts O_o -
I'm used to prepaying a lot for preorders several months in advanced. Anyone who collects 3A would know the feeling
-
wow i guess this is gonna be a more normal thing now. peeps shouldn't really get salty how else u gonna get tamashii exclusives easily?
-
I thought the same thing until I Saw the nose pegs are reversed on the 1s compared to the 1j. PIcs when I get home. Dafuq Bandai?
-
Wow, these look kinda "meh" compared to the awesome charaworks sets we had like 8 years ago

New Vs Old So How does the new Hikky 1s stack up against the Old Roy 1s? Hikky wins on the head sculpt hands down, but that's pretty much it. It's personal taste but I like the old DYRL White and the lighter , greener fastpacks. Also Hikky's a whiny emo. Roy 4 life (Jet Jockey for life) Of course opinion will change once I get my Hi Metal R Roy Btw, I noticed that the hi-metal R's have a new locking tab that clicks into notches on the chestplate in fighter mode. Totally unneeded as the old hi-metals had no prob staying in fighter mode. IT actually makes it harder to transform hahaha. If you aren't getting ur fastpacks on straight like in these pics, ur doing it wrong. Just have fun freaking the hell out as you force click it into place. Memories of yammie 1/48 backpack anyone? tee hee hee *Pardon that crappy pics. Too sleepy to use a real camera and photo booth after work today
-
People shouldn't expect a VF-25 Renewal level of differences. The Originals Hi-Metals were already pretty good toys already. Just be happy you can now join in on the Hi-Metal love now. An updated Skull Squadron in the new Grey and the blue-er fastpacks like on the Hikky will look nice >;D Here's the older ones for reference
-
Here's the pic of the stand adapter difference. Left is VF-1j regular fighter mode adapter. The Right is the one that comes with the VF-1s strike. Just wish they included both in the VF-1s as it'd be nice to have all the display options Here's some quick comparisons between the old and new 1J. Basically nothing different cept for the color of the plastic, some tampo, the nose and shoulder joints. The Older 1J does have something the new one doesn't; the option to use round TV hands instead of the DYRLs. Despite the chest lines being perfect horizontal they do spread wider on the older 1J which looks a tad bit better. Also has smaller kite symbols on the sides. The Arms are Beefier on the Newer ones. I'll get comparisons between the new and old vf-1s later.

That's the wrong adapter. That's for fighter fast packs and was included in the fast pack sets way back when they were released separately. The Reg fighter adapter is more Flat and fits super snug on the fighters. I'll take a pic when I get home from work

So... I got my HIkky 1s in today from HS. For some reason it came in faster than my HLJ gbp hikky that's coming in via SAL. As a long-time Hi-metal fan I definitely can see that these have improved quite a lot in some areas, but also are lacking in others when compared to the originals. Better 1. Canopy is crystal clear in the R series. Looks much better 2. Feet are much more sturdy on the R. 3. Joints in general are tight for a toy of this size 4. Grey color is much more appealing and less yellow-prone than the pure whites from before 5. Metal shoulder joints look like a good improvement. 6. Head is a better sculpt with clear visor 7. inclusion of two extra sets of head lasers that are thin and nice looking. Worse 1. NO REGULAR FIGHTER STAND ADAPTER. 2. Little "nubs" leftover from sprue cutting are visible on parts like the wrists. REALLY? 3. NO REGULAR FIGHTER STAND ADAPTER. 4. The Head is a nicer sculpt but it's also really..really big now. 5. NO REGULAR FIGHTER STAND ADAPTER. 6. Legs don't lock in all the way in regular fighter mode. Also wings have that weird ass upward bend like on many of the VF-25's. 7. NO REGULAR FIGHTER STAND ADAPTER. DAMN YOU BANDAI. DAMN YOU!!!!

So...um... you'd be surprised just how many people can pony up $300 +

Seems like a lot of peeps expect early 2000's yamato pricing for mad playability which is just not feasible (like, no wonder they went out if business haha?) It's a tiny toy that sacrifices some accuracy for simplicity by using swappable parts. When battroid mode is like 10cm tall what do people expect? These things have been out since 2010 and the only real change is the nosecone tip popping off, new vf-1s head and some parts now being metal (shoulder parts) Honestly dont get why peeps so upset about stuff that's been known for like 5 years.
