Slave IV

F5 lubed and ready to go!

That looks like its been tampoed! Cool...so if looks simple enough to stick on with minimal fuss..I guess it could work on some level for the DX.

Plus the link you posted on the LaserJet Waterslide decals look interesting.

I might just want to try something on customising a DX, and would need to get it printed on a color laserjet for colors...

Thanks! Besides the drawback I mentioned earlier, these homemade decals are the best decals I've used. Easily customizable, no worry about placement since they "slide" and as you say, they look tampoed on. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I'm regretting not jumping on this line from the start and missing the gbp and the upcoming Hikaru. Hopefully, it will be in stock again near release like the cf.

You know what's sad... I have 2x 0S's I have not even taken out of the box yet, I am pretty sure I never opened any of my A's either... Sad. I will say that I did get around to unboxing one of my D's but I left it in fighter mode.

If you don't mind handing one of those over to me, I'll gladly open and outfit it in a nice set of reactive armor!

Problem with the reaper emblem is it's going to take a lot of white, so you might have to do some fancy painting to get the decal to work out correctly.

Either that, or use white-backed decal film (if it exists) or pre-paint the decal film with white before printing the emblem onto it.

Yep, I didn't look back at what the emblem looked like before I responded earlier but since it has a lot of white, you should get white decal paper and it should work pretty well that way. White decal paper does exist, here.

I see.. were the transformers surfaces similar to a DX too? Did you need to add a solvent or coating, to get it to survive handling during transformations...

I don't own any DX figures yet. I've used waterslides on painted and unpainted surfaces but nowhere that gets rubbed during transformation so I've had no issues. Just applied them and they look good. Some decals require a coating but I used paper that said no coating required (laser printed). Here are a couple examples of mine (Megatron's chest and Shockwave's arms):

I can say from making my own waterslide decals for Transformers faction symbols, you just buy clear waterslide decal paper (ebay has good deals), print whatever you want, trim and apply. Very easy to do! Only problem is the design and colors may not show up well if they are lighter than the area you apply them on.

I like messer's reaper emblem better than the knight

But i was thinking of utilizing what's available, since i don't print decals, although there are services or material out there.

Whether it is difficult to do is a separate question on technique which i have no idea on.

Plus its kinda a method of not relying too much on p-bandai and coming up with the customisations yourself. Imagine getting model kit decals and applying them on the valk. The back of the 31 is like a blank canvas waiting to be decalled

Do it and post pics! For me, I'll just wait for Bandai to offer the tampoed version.

Finally had a chance to put my wall mount up!

Realized I have the wrong adapter for the 1S but I had the parts needed to get it mounted for now. Again, love these stands! I've been trying to get a wall shelf or something to put in that space but nothing looked or fit right to me. Then I noticed the wall mounts in this thread and been wanting some Yetistands for a while so made the purchase immediately. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Cool. I would love to get Lego figures of an X-Men team but once I start collecting Lego I might not stop.

I must have bought one from their store after you then. They are legit though.

Yeah, Legos are as addicting to collect as anything. I've got boxes full of sets to put together with more on my want list.

What shady store is this mentioned?

Here is my most recent Macross toy, the VF-1S along with a couple others mounted on the wall thanks to Yeti!

I don't understand what she's saying, but the girl in yellow sounds funny. Is she a voice actress? The reactions she makes reminds me of an anime character.

She sounds like someone from Lucky Star to me

The way they slowly undressed that 0S...those kinky Japanese

Thats good news. Im debating chogokin voltron as an xmas gift to myself

You should definitely try to get it if you like Voltron, it looks nice. I'm not into Voltron but I've been eying Daltonus for a while and want to get the reissue sometime while I can.

Seriously?! Wow very happy i asked. Thanks!

Yeah, only reason I went with them was preorders were sold out at the normal spots and after searching, they were the cheapest I could find. I was iffy about it after reading reviews about them and sure enough, they failed me. Good thing is I was able to find the figure I wanted for less on eBay.

Has anyone purchased from animepoko.com? According to google they have free shipping? Is this true and are they reputable?

I ordered an SHF figure from them and they never delivered or responded to my inquiries about it. Had to open a dispute with PayPal and ended up getting my money back. Needless to say, I don't recommend them.

Then why bother spending your minutes reading the posts here? Go on and guard the VF-31 page over HLJ, then.

Mostly just kidding but I did check.

Slave IV, I still have an extra VF-31J for you from HLJ if you want it.

I want to talk to you about a few things I may want from you...Thanks!

Sorry to be insensitive to the issue but does that mean a preorder should be opening up to swoop on?

Super sold for me. I hope this opens the possibility of them producing other S.H.Figuarts macross figures.

Britai! Sivil!

what's the general consensus on Figma figures? Well made? Worth the price? I'm just now starting to look into some of them like that Mk43 Iron Man and such.

Well, besides all these things being overpriced, given the market, I think they are worth it if you like the design and character you get. I have no interest in MCU style figures since I'm all about the comic designs but as a quality figure, Figma is great. I will say they seem to excel more in natural human look characters, as in not completely armored or robot figures. Doesn't mean they can't do those types, just means they are better than most others when it comes to the face/skin exposed figures.

I'll probably get some if regular SHF/articulated but damn, those statues are all looking good!

Wonderful!

I hope the use the Making of a Cyborg scene from the GitS movie *WITH* Kenji Kawai's original music.

That would make me very happy indeed.

Yeah, I love the original soundtrack. Speaking of, someone made this out of all the teasers:

Ooooo, just checking this out. Getting chills!

My favorite anime movie all time along with Ninja Scroll.

At this price level, I don't have faith that the sv-262 CF will sell well.

Does that mean there's hope preorders will last a full minute instead of under?

No , all his items ended and sold , maybe he will put a next batch soon .

This Ebay seller , had the best SHIPPED hi metal r monster price with EMS shipping .

Ah thanks! That's a seller I was already following! I'll keep an eye out.
