    Does anyone know if the KO parts like the SSP or missile sets will fit on Arcadia's 1/60? Or if the transparent parts will fit on Arcadia's SSP? 

    Looking at getting a Max or Milia but there's no news forthcoming of DX versions so I'm tempted by the KO sets as buying them directly from Taobao could cost me less than $100 shipped.

    KO clear parts on official 1S.

    Yeah, customs aren’t as abundant as they used to be.

    Getting Kurt and Jung customs amongst many others in various scales has been a walk through memory lane. I am just fortunate enough to be able to track and acquire them. 
     

    Personally and not to open a a debate with anyone, I’m still infatuated with the Yamato 1/48. They is just so much that can be done with these. I have a few customs yet to complete, but slowly getting there. One day, I’ll be done and getting there will be have the enjoyment I get from getting there.

    Well, onto collecting. 

    I love the Yamato 1/48s. The decos they had and simple, but perfect transformation make them irreplaceable to this day.

    Someone used a coat hangar to correctly attach a 1/48 Super VF-1 Yamato to the arm claw way back. One end of the coat hangar was wrapped around the backpack and the other end was wrapped around the claw itself. It looked pretty good IIRC.

    Sounds like a way. Too bad they didn't make the claw a bit more adjustable so that you could get it to grab the Valks securely.

    I like the wider base on the Arcadia vs the older Yamato stands, as I had potential tipping issues when holding up a fully decked out 1/48 strike valk. 

    I don't use the launch arm claw thingy at all because it's upside down from what was in the movie. :lol: I just like having as little of the stand showing as possible when the valk is "flying" 8)

    Yeah, I was trying to figure out a way to get the stand to hold the Valks the other way. Another reason why I just don't want too many of them. Clear arm options would have helped. Best I could play off:

  5. The main thing that sucks about the launch arm is I don't want more than 2-3 Valks displayed in launch mode. Sure, you can display them however you want but they only look right to me holding a Valk in fighter mode. If they made the other clear arm with storage, I'd buy 10 of those.

    So sweet!

    Damn, that picture really puts in perspective how huge the Sv-51s are. Especially compared to an SDF-1😆

    Thanks @Slave IV - I was unaware of that. Shogun Warrior toys were ahead of my childhood. :)

    No problem! You missed out on some goodness there. Those were some of my earliest toys that brought me into the world of anime.

    I understand. Unfortunately I need to make a choice due to financial constraints. Otherwise I would probably have 3 of every Valk to display all 3 modes. 😂

    Now you’re getting somewhere. Plus another set for each type of accessory you can put on it. 🤣

    Yes I do because Bandai sold them separately. 1 or the other depending which has more screen time. 

    I usually leave it B mode. 

    But yes I don't see the point of leaving 1 set of the add ons in the box while the other is displayed. As I'm not a completist I would rather channel the money into other stuff. 😄

     

    I get what you are saying. We were just helping you “get the point” of having options. Part of the fun of playing with toys to me is transforming them, switching out accessories, posing them, swooshing and pewing, etc.
