Scream Man

Well, mine isnt showing any stress marks at all, i just checked him over. Maybe they did fix later batches

garland shoulder parts were replacements, people were just sent them. $30 USD is about $45 or so aussie, and Im sure as hell not paying that per pair of shoulders for the 4 0's i have! Thats nuts, how do they expect t get away with charging for replacement parts?

u mean the final seiya figure or the bust? My figure seems to be in good shape so far, and i dont think u need to disassemble him anyway, since his more modern design supports the newer swappable heads. i took the plunge last night and swapped necks on Shaka; Works fine

The Mach 5 looks awesome! I was a little surprised it had doors, but otherwise awesome!

So! Got my newest batch! Taurus Alberaan is HUGE! He's Huge and heavy and awesome! he just SCREAMS power! And to top it off his armour has some nice detail work in their, though largely built over a very simle foundation. He's far and away my favourite of the gol saints I own! Virgo Shakka isnt bad. The armour is a little foddly, especially with the gold shoulderpad area, and the shoulderpads underneath. His head was crap, so im glad i got the appendix to go with it, which improves the figure a lot! Overall....he's ok, but Im not really feelin him. He DOES have some nice detail in the armour, epecially the arm and leg guards The Appendix bust is pretty cool, though im not sure if its worth the $30 + i have to pay to get them. It means ill only be getting ones that improve the figure greatly, unless i can find them very very cheap. All my hong Kong Pals; should anyone see em and be willing to send them to me loose, that may help! PM me! The neck is a tad long, but doesnt look to bad when the armours on. I think I understand the pics ive seen now....can u swap out the bust nexk for the figure neck so the head sits lower? Kraken Issac is very VERY cool, and im bit suprised. Pics made him look a little blocky to me, and so while i liked his character i wasnt sure on the figure. But i am pleasantly surprised! His armour is sleek and deadly looking, and i like it a great deal!

*waves* Well, g'nite kids!

Well there are picsa of Sorrento out now, and the its the green tiger Asgardian followed by Krishna of the Mariners. In that time there is also Shion and the Crystal saint. And the 4 new appendixes. Lordy no wonder Im broke.

yeah thanx Kensei. I look forward to hearing good news

........... i think Im changing my mind again....damn that looks cool....

i get stuff from neova withoutt he box, and it saves a heap on shipping...

I like the purplr/dark blue colour actually. And if all the surplice are differenmt sculpts, then i may be more tempted to gra them.....

WWW.TOY-WAVE.COM : for all your saint seiya needs! Seriously, Ken and the guys have been a massive help me in me getting my collection. im a hair from pre-ordering Crystal Saint off them actually... So if Shions Surplice is different, does that mean the others will be as well?

I really tried to li,e Gunda. i love giant robots. In fact I love almopst anything with robots. But it never hooked me in any incarnation ive seen. i could never out my finger on why

Im not sure what Cancers special move pose even is! Im looking forward to Aries actually. The armour looks realy really good. next on my list of 'to buys' (As opposed to the 'havent arrived yet but paid fors' is Sagitarius and Leo, and mayeb Aries if i can afford him.

SO TEMPTED TO OWN IT, BUT SO MANY OTHER THINGS TO BUY....

Yeah as long as Terry is coo,, Ill be happy and Kens line about Figure Skating to Chun Li always got a grin out of me.

Got Cancer and Aquarius tonight. Cancer is ok, but doesnt really grab me. The face is cool, and the armour has some nice elements to it, but overall he's just not for me. I have always been somewhat 'anti' villains, prefering to buy the 'heroes' but Cancer is sorta in the middle so i didnt think it would bug me. But it seems to on some level. Ah well. Not a bad figure by any means. Aquarius i really like though! The armour is GORGEOUS, some of the best in the line so far! The head isnt to bad, though the hair is pretty attrocious. BRING ON THE APPENDIX!!!! Still, a very cool figure! In the next few days Ill be getting Kraken, Taurus and Virgo and his appendix. In three months Ive collected half the line! Lord, I need help...

Did the monster have issues? ah, the shoulders. I never liked the flaps so I dont pull em out, but yeah i can see that as a fault for those that do. And my 1/48s have all been fine. Well, no i had rubber leakage in the hips on one, but thats it. and i have 8 of em. all are fine. I guess all Im saying is as far as i can see Yamato had 2 major flubs; the Garlands shoulders and the VF-0 shoulders. both should have been way more thoroughly tested before release. They're both fixed now, and thats great, but it could have been fixed earlier. As could the 19s faults, I dont deny that. In reality it all comes down to personal satisfacction. Do u like what u bought? If yes, sweet, buy more. If no, then dont get anymore. If that has been your point all along, then im sorry it took me so long to understand. I just feel like you talk down on those who are satiusfied, and i dont understand why?

Im not fueling anyhting. Im just curious what the fixes are. I cant think of 5, its the 6th I dont remember. gunpod landing gear tight nose loose wing thats 4. asusming u mean the chest section not locking thats 5. whats the 6th? And i only have to rationalise because u keep syaing we're stupid for buying these again. If u hadnt mentioned it i wouldnt have had to rationalise at all, id just have bought it. Im STILL just going to buy it! really, im not being a smart ass, i just am curious to see where your POV comes form....

ooo, october! sweet!

What are the '6 necessary fixes' u speak about? Im assuming u mean the wing root getting loose and the wheels being 2 of those not fixed, but whats the third? Also u have said again i get 6 or more problem areas....my plane had a wonky gunpod, and one loose wing nub. the wingnub doesnt affect me at all, and I fixed the gunpod, but lets assume that those 2 count as problem areas; what are the other 4? The nose on mine is fine, no stress marks. the chest clip isnt a problem, its a design choice u disagree with. i dont even know what the other 2 could be. My point is that u are saying im a fool for buying a second inferior product...but i am very happy with my 19, as are many others. Am I a fool for being happy wioth what I have?

Yep. 2nd edition looks fine.

well when i asked for a 'set' i meant a left and right.

i just hate being called stupid for bying soemthing. I bought a 19 knowing it had a wonky gunpod, and didnt care. Apprently that makes me dumb. And now because im going to get another, Im even dumber because it hasnt heen fixed. Except the only ptoblem with my first one si the gunpod. which HAS been fixed. So why am I still a moron?

besides, its always dangerous to enter a thread about a movie u havent seen but plan too. i liked it WAY better than 2, which I thought was silly. while this was over the top, its true, i didnt fel lik goign and having a nap at any point. They packed a lot in there and i thought all the actors did great. A lot of hate comes towards Orlando and keira, but i like botht their characters 9Especially elizabeth) much better than i like Jack. First is still the best by far, but this was a solid third part, and makes the 2nd part nothing but a VERY long setup...
