Or it can break because you dropped it, like is the case here.

Posted in the other thread, but it'll probably get deleted because this exists: Upon closer inspection, this thing looks articulate as hell. What appears to be a waist pivot at the top/back of the nosecone. The forward joints under the hips also appear to have some sideways motion to them. Feet seem to have some ankle tilt left-right, rather than just forward/back.

Here's the Tamashii page linked in the video, so this is 100% legit: https://tamashii.jp/special/macross/vf-1j/ Edit: It's interesting that they're not going to be the same 1/60 scale as the rest of the DX Chogokin Valkyries. Then again, 1/48 means not competing with Yamato/Arcadia (except the old Yamato 1/48s), and makes it more equal in size to the 1/60 Valkyries of the later series (Frontier/Delta). Probably easier to design in gimmicks and detail as well.

Cheapest option that might work is probably just some JB Weld, not sure how well it'll hold though.
-
No word yet from CDJ, looking back at it I guess they charged full retail of ¥21,000.
-
Unfortunately, that'd go with pretty much any fix, unless he knows a good welder. I suppose JB Cold Weld might work, if it's not stressed.
-
3D printed metal parts are a bit cheaper than that. Shapeways might be around $50 I think, given the size, for printed steel.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
Sanity is Optional replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
How is the Strike Freedom? I know it's popular and expensive on the secondary market, but how's the build quality of the figure? Well made? -
This looks like a case for 3D printing or casting a replacement.
-
Given how they did the VF-1 and VF-0 figures, I imagine they'll either include it in every release (like the super packs), or not make them at all (like the ghost booster).
-
Well, hopefully this means they're taking time to do a good job on a challenging transformation. It'd be a shame if this ended up like Bandai's SV-262 puzzle with lots of un-necessary complexity.

Hard points on Yamato 1/60 VF-17 wings?
Sanity is Optional replied to Shizuka the Cat's topic in Toys
Looks like the Reaction missiles from a VF-25 armored? Version 1 maybe? -
VF-19(plural) I feel you on the no shelf space, I've got 24 figures sitting in boxes, waiting for me to move to somewhere I can display them all. 14 of those are 1/60 Macross as well.
-
The Yamato VF-19s don't have the greatest market price as I recall, that said $125 with free shipping for a new one is a pretty darn good deal.
-
Dear god, the 31a is already more of a grail piece than the VF-0D... How long until it catches up with the Yamato 1/60s Elint/VF-1D/Super Ostrich/Angel Birds/etc?
-
You could try a bit of future or nail-polish to thicken the peg?
-
It's odd that the heel peg just slipped out. Someone screwed up their sizing, it should have had to snap both pegs to do that.
-
I'll definitely go for a VF-1S of those, looks nice.
-
Got a few things in over the last week. HLJ PW and sale stuff, some Macross shirts, and a Metal Build Laevatein from NY.
-
I'll get the armored set for every one they make it for. If only because the Armored Pack double-gun is so much better than the f***ing drone charger (especially if I can re-color to match my VF-31As).
-
I think the Trident Tamashii Stage is generally suggested, it's the one that came with the Glaug.
-
FYI, HLJ's doing a Macross Frontier Lucky Bag now, 3 items, one of which is a Sheryl EXQ figure. https://hlj.com/product/HLJLB009 ¥2,961
-
Considering the price difference, I'd say go with the Kai. ¥6000 yen more, comes with the missiles, and it'll probably have a larger value increase over time as it's limited.
-
I'm wondering this as well. I want those, but not enough to sign my digital soul away to Facebook.
