The scale of the fan racer concerns me even less than action figures that are slightly off scale. Thankfully, I’m not superimposing rulers behind all my displays to make sure ever part of every item is perfectly to scale.
-
Ok, I wasn’t sure but that looked like it might be an MP3 player hooked up underneath it.
-
It looks amazing! Thanks for sharing @claude grant How is the sound quality? Does it have a mini tube amp like the SDF-1?
-
Look forward to the pics too! As for Roy, yeah...I was saying if that is the proper scale in comparison to other 1/12 figures, there is no way Roy would have qualified as a fighter pilot.

Haha, I loved that show! I never made the connection back then but now I get why her name was Dee Dee. 😁 I’ve done it a few times in the last decade or so. It’s painful. Luckily, it was all short distances but I can tell you I made multiple trips in a Uhaul each time that nearly broke me. The worst are the comic books though. Toys are nothing in terms of density per square inch. Hauling 30 or so long boxes full of comic books up and down stairs is the last thing I ever want to do again. Then there’s the CD collection. Those are about the same pain as comic books and I have about 10 or more big boxes full of CDs and other media. My movers got it easy compared to what I did myself.

What a great deal on that Yammy, nice! I love the 1/48 Yammies, especially the non-canon ones. -
Is this Kitzconcept or a (model) "kit concept"?

The original site was the only site. Until @ChaoticYeti decides he is able to open up shop again, the world is limited to the yeti stands that already existed before he stopped doing them.

Thanks for confirming and the tips. I’m gonna see if I can finesse mine to move then.
-
I want the 22 more than the 21. I’ll take both but need more M&M.
-
Then we all buy VF-11s until they release the next Valk whether it’s the 21 or not.

That looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing.

Haha, I was thinking about ordering the Diamond Select Hulk but the latest ML Hulks are such good figures. Roy doesn't look out of place in that lineup and I'm usually the last to complain about size differences in figures but I wasn't complaining here either, the figure just looks noticeably taller than most any of my other "1/12" figures. Actually, being that tall means he probably wouldn't qualify for being a fighter pilot since Michael Myers is supposed to be 6'7" and Roy is about the same or maybe a bit taller than him there. Hehe, more appropriate if it was with the other two little white accessories he came with. Haha, yeah. Well, I done got mine already so what are you waiting for? I'm always telling people not to worry about minor scale differences and that I prefer to have variances to help my displays look more natural. I love this figure! I'm just curious what other people's reactions are when they open theirs because like I first said about it, this is one big boy!
-
Yeah, that's what in saying! It looks take than other 1/12 figures including Hulk and I think even taller than most my Sentinel Re:Edit figures. I don't get it but in bot to concerned either. Main thing is it a good figure and looks great.
-
Haha, you have a similar design but everything enlarged which helps overall with the articulation. Double joined elbows and knees increase the range of motion there but not hugely, it mostly just looks better than the revo style joints used on Hikaru. It loses the additional waist joint that Hikaru has but the upper torso joint is way better and makes up for it. Neck joint is similar but less forward back range maybe due to hair. Overall, all the joints and plastic feels a lot better and more durable than Hikaru's. Edit: I was going to mention apparent bicep swivels on Roy but I haven’t been able to get either to move on my figure. I doubt they would make them like that if they don’t move but mine don’t budge.

And this too! HMR lives!

Got her in the back there in this temporary display until I can get them all moved to a proper Macross shelf.
-
The color never bothered me but yeah, the figure looks pretty good and feels improved over the Hikaru figure. Of course, it completely different but it's good to see they keep trying to make things better.
-
This is a big boy! Probably do some damage on Claudia. 😁

I just got the same pair! It’s hard to tell from the photo but what color eyes on BH and does the trooper have the blue collar? I’m curious if they have gone to a standard or still making the variants. Mine has the blue collar trooper and blue eyes BH. -
Yeah, I like BBTS but they are pretty much the last resort for any toys I buy, including domestic ones. Too many other places that provide similar service, have lower prices, no tax and free shipping.
-
I don't find customer service to be a factor in buying high end Japanese toys. In all my years of buying them and the hundreds or thousands I have, maybe three had any issue worth bothering with and those were all handled quite easily, even by one of the shops considered to have the worst CS imaginable. Saving $20-$40 or more on each purchase adds up for me to get more toys or whatever plus I save enough to cover any possible catastrophe that might happen myself if I really had to.
