DO NOT BUY THE "CHINESE VERSIONS" of the figma line!!! I read some of the members noticed "low quality" workmanship in their recent figma figures. I have several genuine figmas I got from reputable companies and I have no issues with them. But, I decided to buy a "Chinese version" to see why the price was 1/4 of the regular figmas. And here is what I have noticed: Cheaper PVC type plastics that feel lighter and cracks easier Joints loose due to cracks Joints are made with cheaper and harder plastics prone to cracking Flesh color incorrect, too peach colored Extra pieces of flash plastics are still stuck on the limbs Clear plastic display base is yellowish and has cracks Eye and mouth coloring have defects Major warping or deformation some pieces In short, these "Chinese versions" are basically made with rejected parts or poor imitation pieces. They are at most for spare parts or use for modifying. That's why I bought it. Just a consumer tip.

I wonder if there will be different variants of the VF-4 that Yamato will make as "limited editions" like a cannon fodder color version or low-vis version???

Watching Another. This show is creepy. Really freakishly creepy. Like how one of the students accidentally got impaled by falling onto an umbrella in the most "Final Destination" way. -
The weaker Yen ($1= 83Y) saved me a small bit of money on this thing from when I ordered it in September. $344 is still a lot of $$ for a toy.

I see I am not the only one who survived the "Second Impact". Good job everyone. We can pick up the pieces and rebuild. -
I would not be surprised if Kicker actually owns a toy store as a side job.

Ah My Goddess: Season 1 and OVA ....recommend worth watching for the comedy. Poor Keiichi getting into all sorts of trouble because of the three goddesses. -
Sadly, the first thing I noticed was how Thundercracker, a Decepticon, got mixed up into this group.

Glad to hear the demand requires a second production run. I hope that will give Yamato a reason to produce other color schemes of the VF-4.

Tora Dora a good comedy. Recommend worth watching. Currently watching Angel Beats. This is an interesting show so far. Otonashi wakes up in a world where students from a high school are in battle with an angel who is also the school council president. He also lost his memory of who is was before. This show has some freakin bloody battles!!! -
Good work EXO. Another great moment in anime frozen in time for display.

So Hasegawa got the license to produce Macross Frontier stuff. Cool.

If there was an oncoming vehicle right over that hill, GTR and other driver would have been killed at that speed. Idiots! Something like that almost happened to me when a pickup truck tried to pass another truck near the top of a small hill on a 2 lane road. I had to dive my car to the side of a road and into a field to avoid being hit head on. Again, idiots!
