Better than Arcadia, eh? Thanks! I'm sure @Chronocidal will appreciate that the landing gear parts are molded in white then painted the wrong color. -

Fixed up the HMR VF-1S a bit. Gotta fix up the super parts next. Some quick phone pics. Compared to Arcadia

Thanks. It was just a quick and fun weekend project. Being the most iconic Macross aircraft I thought it deserved better than Robot Spirits level of (lack of) detail and it needed to be Metal Robot Spirits level.

Discovery getting canned after this season? I've never heard of such a shocking injustice that I cared so little about!
-
Fixed another of Bandai's QC screwups.
-
That's 1/48 DX VF-1 pricing. Bleh.

HMR has pretty much always been easy to get at or even below MSRP after release, so don't sweat it if you miss the initial PO. Also, Macross Zero doesn't enjoy the same popularity as Frontier or (sigh) Delta. I slept through the PO for the recent VF-1S and just picked one up on release day, no sweat. That's as popular a unit as you're going to get for the entire franchise.

Of course. Sometimes it's the little details that make a big difference. That would entail Bandai admitting to some kind of mistake, which they never will. They'll just say the skulls are crooked for symmetry or some BS. Naturally, the third party decal sheet with the plethora of skull insignias in a myriad of sizes is the one decal sheet I can't currently find. Otherwise yeah it would be a simple matter of stripping the skull off, touching up with a little black paint as needed, and putting a new decal on.

Left out the VF-X from earlier. So what's everyone's favorite low vis VF-1 from the Yamato days? Including the 1/48 line.

I'm glad Eaglemoss was able to unload some of their remaining stock.
-
For 85 bucks I'm willing to roll the dice and see how good it is. Is it a KO of the Arcadia PF with markings printed on?
-
HLJ took forever to ship but recently got mine. Like that TV white over the darker DYRL tone. (The skull seems to be migrating higher up the heat shield with each release...) She looks good out of the box but needs a little work. Just gotta decal her up now. So not only are the skulls on the stabilizers not straight, but they're crooked at noticeably different angles. Good job, Bandai.
-
Would explain why the promo pics with Alto in the cockpit all have the canopy removed. Kinda lame. Also lame that you have to buy the figure if you want actual decals for the fighter nose kit.
-
Only one of the wheels is actually touching the ground. Warped and lopsided parts? Nothing new for Bandai.
-
Damn I thought getting two left or right parts was just an Arcadia thing. You can probably trade with someone who got two left covers. It's the Hikaru VF-1A debacle all over again...
-
Pass. The WWM 25 and HMR 0S are two purchases I regret. Maybe if I see this one in the discount bin...
-
Picked up a couple more stands. Up to 15 Arcadia stands now. Combined with the Yeti stands I have (Yeti please come back!) I should be covered for all my Yamato/Arcadia valks for a long time.
-
Wait till you see the price tag on the omnigear box sets.
-
It's looking good. Hope Arcadia's QC hasn't taken a nosedive like Bandai's. Getting two left feet is one thing, but let's at least hope the tabs actually fit!
-
Xenogears is my favorite 3/4 of a game! But man those prices are out of whack. The price of Vol. 1 is alright since it's 4 kits, but the price of Vol. 2 is kinda steep. And these aren't gunpla kits that can be assembled by beginners and still look good. You need real modeling skills to actually make them look right (skills which I lack). Seibzehn should be a freaking completed toy at that price, not a model kit that will need to be glued and painted. Maria is also pretty steep, and I'm surprised they went with her, knowing she has a fairly small part in the story. Why not Bart? Or Citan? Or Id?

Wow! That custom job is amazing! Blow the pants off the DX 1J! -
Only took 40 years to get a high quality Minmay figure.
-
Bandai'd!
-
That Sheryl figure is a really great one too. You might want to put some clear tape or something between her hair and the gold ornament on the back of her head. The gold paint Bandai used on these Ichiban figures is super cheap and will leach out over time.
