https://tamashiiweb.com/item/14330 Preorder: 01 March 2023 Release: August 2023 Price: Yen 15,400, inclusive 10% domestic tax. Color looking good so far.

This really came out of the (Genius) blue! Not really feeling this, but I'll likely get one. Bandai just naming it 'Genius blue' is a stroke of genius by avoiding naming it 'Max' for WWM release lol. I wish Bandai adopts nice military schemes for non-canon schemes, like what Yamato did for their 1/48, instead of shoehorning other characters' colors in.

Amiami just sent payment request. -

The Arcadia Minmay DYRL figure looks pretty good, and thankfully they didn't push it to their 3DLab line as they did their Minmay FB2012 figure. Price wise I hope it would be under Yen 20k, not far off from the recent Megahouse 1/8 Basara / Mylene. Meanwhile, old PVC figures can still be fun..

HLJ has received their stock. 15% shipping discount supposedly ended earlier today, but I am still seeing that it available.

@Zeliard These hinges have always been somewhat fiddly on the 25/29. Pushing either side of the doors first to close will always make that side a bit out of alignment. As @Angesdad mentioned, you need to align both doors first before or on the way to pushing them down. The tension of the doors will somehow hold each other flush once they are fully closed. If that doesn’t work. I guess it’s some bad flashing somewhere inside the hinge, & I have no experience disassembling them.

What are these? Are they resin figures?

That’s a nice custom. Toys yellowing doesn’t bug me as much these days, because I know I will one day have them painted up to solve the yellowing. Toyed with idea of whitening them with peroxide, but I’m hearing the yellowing just comes back in a short few months (anyone who did peroxide treatment previously can confirm this?) -
Doesn’t seem to be any further along than when they last showed it, but good to see it again nonetheless.

The way the YF-19s catches the light makes them look amazing! Seeing all the VF-1 on the Yamato flight stands makes me want to grab a big bunch of those stands too.

Consolidated Megazone 23 Toy/Model Thread for 2017-2018
MKT replied to RavenHawk's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Seeing all of them together looks great! For some reason I always thought the truck might be released with the Hargun, but I wonder if it will be even be made separately now as a web exclusive.. -
So much VF-1 pron in a day!

I'm not so much affected by the skinny legs of the Yammie 1/60 YF-21 / VF-22, but I was pretty bugged about the weak hips. The first copy of this mold I obtained was Milia's, an MISB item, and I had great frustration trying to get it to stand in battroid without tipping over. I would be seeing pictures of others' copies and feeling some envy on some of the standing poses, just simple A-stances, that mine could never seem to do. Eventually, this is the only 1/60 valk in battroid that I had to put on a stand in the display, as sometimes the small vibration or air pressure change from just opening the display case doors will topple it if it was made to stand on its own two little feet.

A VT-1 please, Bandai.. Although I will also be happy with an Arcadia VT-1 release, even though their PF VE-1 prices were low for quite a long time after release.

I've no idea on nail polish being a paint sealer, as I've never started using any type of paints for my collection or the small handful of model kits I've built so far. The gold doesn't flake off though, it just sort of fades and loses its shine, like how a car paint gets sun-faded over time.

Love these 2! I wonder how many Cavaliers were made, they really pop up very rarely these days.. Love these 3 as well! And yes, that low-vis is best scheme ever! I pulled trigger on these unique colours when all Yammie 1/48 prices dipped around the time Bandai started on their Chogokin VF-1. Best decision made. -
Thanks for heads up. If the gold on her hair is the same gold on the smoking pipe, then yeah it has already faded. Never noticed that before, but now when I look closer, I realize that paint in a few spots have faded over time. I had to put something under her kimono to support it, the weight of the whole kimono pulls the whole figure backwards and can potentially snap the pegs on her ankles.

Nice purchase there @Angesdad I gotta agree with @Lolicon. Early on when I started collecting valks, I thought I'll then get some companion character figures to soften up all the mecha display a bit. Fast forward to today, I think the 'some' quantity of figures could be as many as the valks This especially with Sheryl & Ranka, as there seem to be near endless figures made of them. Till today I keep discovering ones I've never seen before. I didn't get the newest Megahouse Basara & Mylene figs, as the price of figures have greatly increased these days. But one of most recent figure acquisition from YAJ would be of this Sheryl:

I have recently started to catalogue all my items as well. I found a few of the toy boxes have developed these brown stains on their cardboard packaging, akin to paper foxing. Not that surprising as most of my items came used (Mandarake being a huge source), so we can never be sure of their storage conditions previously. Worried that it might spread to adjacent toy boxes in its plastic container or larger carton box storage, I started to wrap every single toy box in OPP plastic bags as an attempt to control any spread that may occur when the toy boxes are left sitting un-accessed for long periods of time. While taking every item out for wrapping and putting them back, I took the opportunity to catalogue them using the code-on-container and spreadsheet system.

Some bit of nostalgia I guess..

No downsides in Gerwalk or Battroid. In Fighter, when feet are retracted, the one with wrong ankle will be slightly offset outwards when viewed from the top. I suspect for most who have received replacement ankles, it doesn’t bother enough to actually replace it..
