TBLeague has a better sculpt and accessories overall, however the joints on the skeletal body shows up like a sore thumb when you bend it. Here's a pic that was posted in another 1/6th forum since the topic of 1:12 bodies was mentioned. The silicone bodies are thin walled and when you bend the arms more than a 90 degree angle, it literally looks like a bruise. Don't know about the DAM Toys, COO Model, Villa, POP Toys, Inflames, DID and other offerings of the 1:12 body that they advertise.

Can't wait to see your finishing touches to the VF-11 @Lolicon!

I think I pushed him over the edge @Lolicon... Guilty as charged.

Good pics of the YF-21 and the VF-11b @kaiotheforsaken! Love to get a copy of the Yammie VF-11 one day, however they're commanding a premium on the market just like a MIB Black Zarak sans GPS. I guess that I'll have to wait for the DX VF-11 is it gets issued. Waiting for the DX YF-21 pre-orders to drop and another round of the drinking game!

Going back to the olden days.. I peeked onto this this site when it was named Shawn's and Graham's Macrossworld and one the sides (either left or right), Valkyrie-Exchange (now gone) was one of the sponsors. I remember this site when I had to pre-order HMR Roy's 1s with the stand from NY. Some of the members here got through the first initial batch with no issues and didn't pay the additional fee to get it shipped. I was on the second batch, had to wait for a restock and paid additional difference for the newer stock and waited close to two/three weeks before it got shipped. Didn't go onto this site any more until December 2017 and the rest is history. Edit: Skimmed DYRL quickly. Milia's Q-Rau missiles deflected off Max's 1s while transformation from Battroid to Jet Mode.

I find that Bishop is a bit too bulky with all that armour. If there was another version of Bishop (like the PX Cable) then I might reconsider. If any of the X-men Ladies/Villians get made (Storm, Jubes, Rogue, Betsy, Rachel Summers, Jean Grey, Polaris, Boom Boom, Wolfsbane, White Queen, Senna Blaze, Mystique, etc.) I'm going to think hard on which one to get.

Pre-orders are up with Anakin and Stan. Edit: Pricing is listed in CDN for me as I'm in Canada. Might revert to USD if you do pre-order.

There's other site that you can use besides NY... There's AE, HJL, CDJapan etc. Another question: Why are you sticking with NY?

Just announced for Mezco-con and on Toyark: Bishop from the XSE. https://news.toyark.com/2020/07/23/mezco-comic-conhome-thursday-previews-announcements-and-reveals-396102 I believe details should be posted up soon

From another 1/6th forum, these have just been shown. Maybe stuff for sale later to be revealed from the Sideshow Con?

Macross "The Next Top Model". Followed by Right Said Fred's song : "I'm too Sexy.." Edit: To continue, I'm more of a Yamacadia fan when I got started into the Macross stuff. Was introduced to the Yammie 1/60 VF-1 v.1 when I was living to Toronto. Sold it when I had to move back to Vancouver and started into the v.2 line up. Jumped into the Yammie 1/48 months later and now into the Bandai DX line with Alto's 171EX and snowballed from there. Cherry picking on what I want to get next as I'm starting to dabble in the 1/6 figures (and they're also quite pricy as well).

Give @tjdetweiler some respect here @crackpot as he's not around on the boards that much.. Edit: Plus @tjdetweiler may not know everything in regards in Macross Lore. You flamed me and did I retaliated back at you @crackpot? Nope.. I didn't do it.

Where's King Goji when you need to defend the city (or Iron Giant for that matter)?

This version of IM Mk.4 to me looks lackluster. It's the combo of transparent and die cast parts that makes it look unrealistic to me. Good for those that want it, however I did like the "Tron Inspired" suit. Didn't get it due to budget constraints.

For those who are interested on the IM Mk.4 Holo Suit, here's a review in Mandarin. Comparisons are done side by side with the regular Mk. 4 Suit.

@Shogun93 and @Red Comet - There is another member that also had the same issue to a degree, @SuperHobo on one of his copy of the DX 1s Hikaru. Found it after some digging. February 21, 2020 : Page 400 [almost to the same time that bbilly trolled us with the pic of a 1/48 Hasawaga kit of Hayao's 1a and not the real thing] @SuperHobo: So I opened up my VF-1S and things were going well until I noticed the left leg jiggled a lot. And after doing a little disassembly I see that Bandai did not screw the hip joint in tight enough and it never quite met the other side of the joint. But in order to screw it back together I need access to the thigh via a screw, but this damn screwhole cover is not budging. Any thoughts on how to remove this screw hole cover? If only Bandai made disassembly easy. @Lolicon: That cover is most likely super glued on, so there won't be any way to open it without breaking it. Bandai loves their super glue! Parts that I could open on the 1J can no longer be easily opened (or at all) on the 1A and 1S thanks to Bandai just going hog wild with the glue. Bandai wants to deny you the color scheme you desire. Like a certain paint scheme? Bandai won't release it. Think you'll just make your own custom? Bandai will make it damn near impossible to do any disassembly whatsoever. @SuperHobo: Ughhhh if I can't get the screwcover off, in order to screw in a loose screw holding the thigh to the intake, I might just glue the damn hip. Sigh oh Bandai. @Chronocidal: So, as an alternative, what if you drill out the screwcover, just accept that the cover is a lost cause, and make a new one after fixing the leg? Personally, I would try and cut the cover in half by drilling small holes down the slot in the center, then pry it out. Then if the halves are still good, sand away what remains of the recessed slot, and glue them together around a thin slice of plastic to rebuild the cover. The slot won't be as obvious if it's a slightly different shade of plastic. @SuperHobo: I was able to take the screwcover off via a super thin hobby tool. Only a tiny corner was glued in. Now, to fix the rest of the thigh.... After that post, I've lost track. Superhobo did end up fixing it and sold it for less than asking price for it.
