Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
Radioguy replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I don't mean the colors, but the painting of it like it's rough animation. That seems hyper-accurate down to the cel, and it looks awful to me.- 2524 replies

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
Radioguy replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Thanks for the pix. Not bad, but the natural scale of actual stitching always throws off any figure with clothes, and frankly gives me that doll vibe. Plus, the hair is one thing, but the animation-accurate molding and painting of the googles just doesn't sit well with me versus cleaning that up and making it more concept-accurate. Just my $0.02.- 2524 replies

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
Radioguy replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I hope to own that someday too. No, not the Rainbow Brite. -
How can they not if this sells? Damn the canoncity when it comes to money.

I hope not. I don't have the back this guy has.
-
Same here. It's actually getting me to take off work and go to the event. I hope plenty show up so they do more of this.

Nice. I'll take a look around myself. -

Where??? -
I suppose Ultra Q would be folded into Figuarts, so I hope if we don't actually get a Showa (Atragon, not DAM) Manda, that we may get a Kairyu. Maybe they could do one side of the box as Manda, and the other side as Kairyu! 😆

What kind of markup is he now referring to?

I went in on the strike pack as I felt it made sense at the time. I even subsequently got the clear strike part covers off AliExpress. Those didn't come in Valkyrie Factory boxes but just a sealed pouch in bubblewrap. They fit perfectly, though. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804906223652.html

Are there limits, though? I plan on going, but I wondered about that.

I actually wish they went green. Kakizaki everything. 😄

VE-1 or a VT-1 would be nice to see. I've recently succumbed to HMR as a line, but as much as I've found things to enjoy about them, I found my preference for larger scales renewed. A recent 1/60 scale acquisition slaked that thirst more than HMR, but I would still prefer more early-era 1/48 Macross valks. So, if Bandai wants to milk the mold for another VF-1A/J/S variant anytime soon, I'd still be on board.

Damaged box, but $3 for the world's smallest transformable Thrust. Not bad. He was my favorite seeker. -
There's a local store with it, but at a higher price than some online prices. I don't know if I'd succumb if I went there...but I have been meaning to go to that store...

Why Macross merchandises (toys) are relatively expensive?
Radioguy replied to Vintage Fanboy's topic in Toys
I'd take them with me if I could. Heaven has to allow for Valkyries. I mean...c'mon, they take you to Valhalla after all... 😆 Other than that, you wouldn't pass them on to your kids? (If one has them) As for me, with a few exceptions that appeal to me aesthetically, I'm not a completest. I skew to VF-1 era designs and STILL can't honestly afford the hobby. -
I recently opined that I'd love a VF-1D head that I could pop on a camo Yammie VF-1A (to recreate old model kit boxart). Yeah, it would be Frankensteinian without the tandem cockpit, but I'd take that road until a camo VF-1D ever happened (never, I'd assume). It's just one of those things that always made me wish the designs were more modular overall to allow for that. I still would want missiles for my DX AF as the ports are there, and maybe a strike kit to paint up (as someone has previously) to match. May not be canon, but I like to take advantage of all the options designed-in even if they are carry-overs from other releases and not really meant to be used.

Radioguy replied to Vintage Fanboy's topic in Toys
Yeah, the reasons are covered, but let me commiserate with the OP. I too am not new to Macross, and, stupidly, did not strike when the iron was hot (aka when there were clearances of Yammies and lower-priced DX and Arcadia POs). Now I long for lower-priced used sales of the same damned things from eBayers who don't know/care what they are selling or battered-box grab-it-fast-or-lose it Mandarake posts due to a budget that would have had nabbed me these things new just a few years ago. No, I do not recommend collecting now. It is not enjoyable when one has missed so much. Still, I am already cursed with the bug.
