Trust me, I'm thinking about it! But I'd still rather have articulated figures and I have the two SHF already so I'll possibly get the other ones to fill out the group.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Nice! I got MCU Ronan Head slightly turned and tilted down as far as it goes Standing straight Slightly hunched when holding the weapon. Also got a Makina figure! -
Ant-Man and the Wasp, in theaters July 6, 2018
Slave IV replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
We were surprised it seems like the movie isn’t doing well and assume part of it has to do with nothing possibly being as good as IW. Was pleasantly surprised. It was enjoyable to my whole family and I don’t remember everything from the first but this one seemed equally good. -
Lol, I probably meant to say kidney but was thinking liver. Although, with the abuse I put my liver through, not sure what I could get for it and if it could grow back.
-
Yep, exactly! Those side pylons are a pain and they are the most visible from most angles so that makes it more annoying.

What do you feel about those aerodynamics?
-
Wow! That one looks awesome. They did a great job on it. I was scared about getting these things because I could easily get sucked in to buying a fleet of F-14’s but I’m more interested in getting real world decos and after getting my first one, I’m impressed but also a bit let down about the finicky weapons so I think I’m done with them and I’ll be happy with the one I have. That carrier deck you got though...hmmmm.

Pretty much anything is possible with these parts. Since it is just parts bolted together, you can make any custom piece to work with them that you can imagine. @ChaoticYeti already makes a part similar to what you are mentioning with the detolf mount he offers. I’ve heard he has customized it to fit different shelves. I’ve thought about how easy it would be to make various base and mounting parts out of wood.

That all looks great!

The Gatchaman toy I’ve waited my whole life for?
Slave IV replied to Slave IV's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I love all the artwork Alex Ross did for the comic and DVD sets. I have most of the prints including a signed version of this one that was on my wall for years: I do wish the Firebird cover for the upcoming toy was shaped more like it's supposed to look.- 79 replies

Translucent M&M's would be bought in any scale I can afford (or even not really afford). That's what livers are for right? I would still buy them if not translucent too.
-
Same here...But would you want them to be translucent? I think that would be pretty cool if they were.
-
Ah, that sucks. Lost in transit doesn't sound like something that is there fault but I get the annoyance of it.

The Gatchaman toy I’ve waited my whole life for?
Slave IV replied to Slave IV's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The first two were not made for Infini-T Force since they came out long before. They were "Gatchaman" figures. They did an Infini-T version repaint of Ken when Infini-T came out: I wish the original release had the same cape color scheme with the red inside.- 79 replies

The Gatchaman toy I’ve waited my whole life for?
Slave IV replied to Slave IV's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Yep, I have both of those. Best Gatchaman figures ever made and the did variants and reissues of both but none of the rest of the team. That style of figure would have worked well for Ryu but not so sure about Jinpei and Jun. I think the crappy old Diamond Select figures scale close enough together though.- 79 replies

The Gatchaman toy I’ve waited my whole life for?
Slave IV replied to Slave IV's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Nice! I figured there had to be more Gatchaman love on this site considering what it is. The OVA was great but the God Phoenix just didn’t seem as bad ass to me in it. I love the 2nd version that actually looks like a Phoenix. But yeah, all Gatchaman is my favorite anime series of all time next to Macross and the OVA came at a good time. It is criminal how few toys there are for Gatchaman. I went ahead and ordered it. I love the Legioss design and I’ll be pissed if ET makes a Tread and the combo ends up being the best Weber for a while but I can’t bring myself to buy that. This, on the other hand, I just can’t miss. As for the criticism, yeah all valid but all the details on the EX version seem made up anyways so I can pretend the lines on the ET are just made up details too. At this this one does some toylike things while the EX does nothing. The size is decent too at right in between the EX and Unifive. Anyways, will see how it goes.- 79 replies

The Gatchaman toy I’ve waited my whole life for?
Slave IV replied to Slave IV's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
My thoughts as well. I was surprised that I didn’t find a dedicated Gatchaman thread here but that was probably my poor search skills. Let’s not forget they not only had cool ships, they were transforming ships and vehicles. The main reason Macross took over as my favorite anime series is because they took transforming toys to another level, beyond anything I’ve ever seen and they are keeping it up to this day.- 79 replies

The OVA design reminds me of Escaflowne a bit. Pretty cool but not grabbing me the way the Original and second version do.- 79 replies

Very nice! I always say the talent behind the camera is the most important thing next is lighting, the camera doesn’t matter without the first two. Regrettably, I’m missing all the components but I love seeing all the great pics people share. -
RIP Spidey is the greatest superhero ever created.

Same thing happened to me! But yes, luckily it comes with an extra one.

The Gatchaman toy I’ve waited my whole life for?
Slave IV replied to Slave IV's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I know about the Fewture God Phoenix but it amounts to an expensive glorified paperweight since it does nothing. I’ve almost pulled the trigger on it several times but couldn’t go through with it. What I really wanted back in the day when I could have grabbed it for $100 was the Uni-Five but since I missed the opportunity, I’m not paying the aftermarket prices so I’ve been waiting for something similar and better to come along. That looks pretty cool!- 79 replies

Yes! I’ve waited my whole life for this! But...it’s made by Evolution Toy https://hlj.com/product/evt57302 I feel like life is trolling me. Why, oh why did it have to be Evolution Toy?! Does anyone think there is not enough going on here for even them to mess up and this will be worth getting?- 79 replies
