    Hi-Metal R

    Another Jenius review! I wish i got Nexx's version, TBH. I love how you can store the gun on the leg armor. It bothers me Sylvie's version did not come with that feature I can't recall if it was like this in the animation or not. I do agree, there is not enough love for the Macross II basterd children. On the other hand, sometimes i want to display Sylvie's separately, since the VF-2SS looks nothing like it's VF-1 cousins.
  2. It is like Rock Lee dressed as Hikaru, lol. Well done man, that's some tiny detailed painting.
  3. My lil' wrx is about to be 10 years old! I think i am passed the point of selling it. I might just keep it at this point. It still does everything I need it to do very willingly. It is tuned to me, so i feel a very personal connection with it. You have a nice beast Spanner. I love the stormtrooper look! I hope you are feeling better now Spanner.
  4. I might get get an F14, F15, F18 or an SU27, not sure at this point. I don't know, maybe instead I'll get another brownie, or even a 1S to finish up the formation. Who knows,but at this point I am going to lay low and relax for a few months. What i really want is a nice 1/60 V2 brownie, or even a 1S. I am still in love with the VF-1 design. I know most people seem to be tried of it, but to me it is the very best! Maybe not growing up with a proper Vf-1 messed my head up for good. [no offense to Macross Frontier and Delta valks, as they have gorgeous fighter mode]
  5. Thank you! Thank you so much! I never thought these little fellas would be so entertaining. Yeap @Slave IV, it took me a few hours to get them right, and balanced. That was play time for me! Oh, and i have a few new ideas too! [coming up soon]
  6. It is kinda sad when a 3rd party company can make a better product than the original creators. Is this a KO? SHUDDUP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

    New clear tamashii act mechanics stands I liked the smoked ones, but clear is the best way to go.
  8. So this happened... Before... After... I think it cleans it up really well. Plus it allows me to use more of the vertical space in my detolf. I used double extensions on Miria and the VF-2SS, and while it considerable increases their height, it sort of feels kind of wobbly. In any case, for the price, I think clear stands are great, affordable and clean looking. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/87713 10 bucks per pair @ BBTS. I think all clear is better. I'll keep Max & Miria's colored stands for individual displaying. I wonder if i should keep the smoked ones or not. WOW @spanner, that's an awesome set up. One of these days, I'll take a pic of a racing set up I built with a friend some years ago. It's nothing compared to yours, but it works!

    ^ ^ ^ Nice ^ ^ ^
  10. They do look fantastic in every mode. I guess secretly, I was waiting for the ultimate, friendly to transform chunky monkey 2.0./ Hi-Metal R evolution. Or something that would closely resemble Kawamori's line art. Like the "proper" leg transfer mechanism. Anyway, i don't mean to What we got is what we got, and other than scalpers adding hundreds to the price, I guess these releases are somewhat within our reach.
  11. Ha, so there is a line of trailered race cars. Cool!
  12. Yes it is super minor, as it is the bar thing. Still annoys me, I must admit.
  13. I treat this thing as if it was House of cards. I guess @Slave IV is right, and there is some variance in its run. It's wings are slightly out of level when you fold them back too. I am really bummed out i didn't get the Hikkie 1S. I do have him twice in Yammie 1/48 form though. In any case, i am just wating for Max, and hoping they do Kakie and Roy.
  14. Maybe You all have superhero powers.
  15. Or just look at it wrong.
  16. Looking at it from the bright side, i have only transformed my DX 1J once. Everything else i transform regularly, which is a few times a year. At least it will increase its durability since we transform them so little. BTW when is the 1A max coming out? NY made me pay immediately, and I know its been a while.
  17. Honestly, i would have preferred a solid non splitting spine bar [swing bar]. It kind of keeps me away. It does look super nice, though.
  18. As tempting as that sounds, I still haven't made my mind up. Luke was my greatest hero growing up, other than Superman, I guess. I really want to find a good example, at some point. See that's the trick, Mark Hamill's face is hard to capture. So i am waiting for the one that best resembles him.
  19. A whiny no-one who becomes a powerful jedi, and saves his dad while also saving the galaxy. Shall I count the number of seconds Boba appears in the OT? Totally kidding, I love both characters!
