some pics from the shizuoka hobby show.

damn, almost missed this coz i don't really check this thread too often... looks like TV Roy, but if it says DYRL then wth is it? EDIT - got that... lowvis... the kites yes, but how can it be lowvis w/ all that yellow???

can't find the Roy Focker v.2 thread... from the SCOOPDA thread http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/2009/05/rep0286.html I WANT THIS BAD! EDIT - turns out this could be a DYRL lowvis... just check the SCOOPDA thread...

any rumors if these 19 repaints will have a limited production run just like the VF-22 (waiting for confirmation)? coz i highly doubt there'll be 1000 guys out there who'll buy both these repaints...

that looks awesome! no gullet too

Flexydisplay stands. linky

cool!

yep... LOL, just teasing that it's my fave ep coz of the fanservice ... for me ep 1 was the most epic, then the last ep, and next is the Ankoku Dai Shogun OVA...

it looks nice... any info on the size/height? helmet removable? alternate head?

wow! nice job there... you're one very brave dude, dude!

photon beam is badass!... seems like Dr. Hell and Mistress Tsubasa Nishikiori have some kind of history... that's for the next ep. if you like this new Mazinger anime series (and in case you haven't watched it yet)... you should check out the Mazinkaiser OVAs... my fave is ep.4

so here is where all the new stuff is... hope there'll be some new stuff for the "other" forum... that 1/48 looks frakin' huge! LOL beat me to it...

finally... ep6 is out... EP6

nice story... thanks for sharing that... yeah, "scarcity", i get that... granted that business IS business, and w/ toys it doesn't really sound too evil ... but say we change the "3 Bome figures" w/ "3M++++ barrels of oil"... and thus here we are... LOL yeah, pretty much the same here...

just throwing this out there... i'm just wondering, what people's opinions are on this so-called "collector's value" of their toys? is this appropriate only for MISB collections? what of collectors who open their toys and have no plans on selling any of their stuff for whatever reason? do people really constantly think about the value of their collection as if they're going to sell it the next day? i do admit to doing this a good while back, but i always remember somebody who said that it doesn't feel like a hobby (w/c is supposed to be fun) when you always think about what you've spent and what the value of your collection currently is... 2¢

this is the best i could do... the left hand can't really reach the underside of the gunpod when pointed straight forward and if you point the gunpod to the left the strike cannon can't point in the same direction (i wish they made the Stike cannon so it could swiver l-r...)

nope... Hik 1S pins still have the knurling... so does the 1D.

there was already a fixed re-issue of the 0S last dec.... +1 on the fixed re-issue of the 0A... the Shin Kudo one w/ the white stripes... and i don't care if it's a standalone w/o the ghost pack...

yep, got me one last year... no crooked gunpod, properly canted rear landing gears... the standalone 19 plus the FPs only cost me less than $150. although it is floppy mid-transformation, it does hold reasonably well in all three modes... not nearly as tight as my YF-21, but good enough to be displayed on a flexy (gotta angle it downwards though in f-mode to hide that gullet ).

LOL, so you got swayed by the vote! congrats... i absolutely love my 1D and it's color/s... although, personally, i would display the 1D in fighter or gerwalk and the Hik 1S in fully-decked Battroid...

if you don't mind me asking, how're those replacement hinges? last i heard was somebody got em and they cracked too... seems like these replacement hinges are as susceptible to cracking as the one's on a lot of Fockers, some Hik 1As and a few 1Js. on topic - i'm down to just getting the re-issue 25F (from planning to get all four ). like some, i do want to have something from MacF. hopefully this will tide me over until Bandai releases a better version or when Yamato gets a crack at it.

news of these RD Side LFO figures have been out for quite some time, although it was posted on the Gundam Figure thread. the TypeEND is due out this month and the Spec2 next month... here's a link to a proto of the RD Devilfish that was shown at the Tamashii Nation show - RD Devilfish here's a link to the RD releases - http://tamashii.jp/special/robot_damashii/lineup/index.php

LOL, it almost seems like you're happy about the yellowing. ... not too many people here would put a smiling smiley after saying their valk is starting to yellow... cool

cool... when i did this mod, it really gave me some peace of mind... not having to support the hinge while veeerrrry gingerly posing and/or moving the arms during transformation... now i can be as rough as i can w/ my v.2 VF-1's w/out having to worry about something breaking... but still, bad Yamato...
