Rogueload Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 I bought the 3 pack of Roy, Rick, and Max 1/100 toynami's with the GBP and it was the worst purchase ever. The build quality absolutely horrendous. Arms and legs fall off for no reason. GBP is loose and falls off. Needless to say they didn't didn't make the cut in my display case and will be sold off very soon. At this point, if I had to choose from toynami's 1/100's or Arii's 15th anniversary non transforming valks, I'd take the Arii. At least parts don't fall off. Quote

Interesting....I only have the exclusive "stealth" GBP and it seems pretty stiff and solid....I like the stocky bruiser look it has... ....the only fail on it is the exposed "backside"... If you really plan on selling your GBP's send me an IM with your asking price..... Quote

no3Ljm Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Not that everyone cares. But there's an upcoming SDCC 2017 Toynami 1/100 Exclusive 'Farewell, Big Brother' VF-1S Roy Fokker Veritech. Quote

jenius Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Well... guess I'll have to go by the Toynami booth after all. How long before a VF-1D weathered for the episode it gets pummeled in? Quote

UN Spacy Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 LOL same shitty mold since 2007. Thats Toynami for ya. Quote
Duymon Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) The prices for these things is ridiculous. BBTS had the Max 1J super on sale for 54.99...... that's about what I paid for my HMR 1J from NY before shipping O_o At this point Harmony Gold should let Toynami die and license HMR's from Bandai lol. I wouldn't mind marginally higher prices and robocrap packaging if I could get HMR's from Stateside online shops without the red-eye F5-athons I was mildly entertained when I got my first DYRL VF-1A back in 2007 or so when toynami was the only 1/100 game in town. Ever since the HM's came out in 2010 and the HMRs in 2016 I'm puzzled at how Toynami cankeep releasing the same product with the same QC issues (horrible bursting polycaps everywhere) at even higher prices over and over Edited July 1, 2017 by Duymon Quote
sh9000 Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 I never liked that elongated VF-1S head. It should have been corrected a long time ago. Still no pilots? Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 2, 2017 Posted July 2, 2017 Wow...look at all the garbage they're peddling on their Twitter page. Quote
jenius Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 What are they peddling? The only new thing I've heard from them was a battroid mode plushy. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) I just want the standing pilots. Edited July 21, 2017 by sh9000 Quote
ps99041 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I just want the pilots too. I can't believe they're using the same Yune art from the Masterpiece toys. Quote
anime52k8 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I can't believe they're able to make that big a deal about microscopic little 1/100 scale pilot figures. Quote
Convectuoso Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 They are releasing Ben Dixon as a pilot, but they've never released Ben's VF-1A Quote
Rogueload Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I don't know how they keep milking this 1/100 line. The QC is horrendous. Really 1/100 figures, what a joke. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I would buy a box set of just the pilots. I wonder if they'll make 1/100 Zentradi figures. Quote
Sandman Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I wonder what they will be pricing these figures at? Quote
Boobytrap Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 When I saw the first two pictures I thought they were selling these separately. Weird, but OK I'd probably get them. Then I continued looking down and saw they were selling them with those craptastic hunks of plastic. No sale. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah that's what happened to me too when I first saw the pics at Toyark. I don't want those Veritechs just to get the pilots. I already had a hard time getting rid of the older ones. Quote

They're pretty small, I would think they would fit in your garbage bin just fine. I know some places can be picky though about what types of plastic they take if you tried going the recycle route. Quote
sh9000 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Actually I sold them to people here but I had to keep lowering the price and sell them cheap. At least I was able to help people out that were looking for them. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Interesting that they are making these. Does anyone else find it funny that they are described as "standing" pilots, but in all the photos, they are lying down? At least they're releasing a 1/100 TV Focker pilot -- Bandai has yet to do that in Hi-Metal R. Quote
Convectuoso Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I'd like to see with which of their "Veritechs" they will include the Ben Dixon pilot figure, since they don't have that variant. I'm guessing they will include him with the CF. Quote
jenius Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Maybe Ben Dixon is the next Loot Crate exclusive... makes more sense than a "special ops" version. Quote

I'm guessing they will include him with the CF. Judging by this picture, I assume that Toynami will finally be releasing Ben's 1/100 VF-1A, which should include his standing and cockpit figures. Quote
Convectuoso Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 For their "super poseable" line, they realeased a standard VF-1A and labeled it Ben Dixon's, so they may do the same thing this time Quote
