vlenhoff Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 So... i ran out of room. There is rush hour traffic on my shelf. A 1st world problem, i know. While I still think the Yammie does a better job in fighter mode, specially where the legs meet the back pack at the back of the plane. I must say, in Battloid and Gerwalk mode, Bandai absolutely takes the cake. I have always wanted to have battloid mode to hold the gun over the shoulder using the gun strap, and now It can! I must admit, this thing is beautiful, and it bothers me I could not get the 1S on PO night. I simply didn't have the funds for the over inflated price. I was there on time, on PO night, and all the online stores i had ready, basically went kaput. Weirdly, I am more satisfied with Max's, more so than Hikaru's. This is the unicorn I always wanted, and I can't wait for Kakizake. Bandai better finish the Vermilion squadron... or else... I will have a meltdown. Quote
Slave IV Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Yeah, I was never a fan of Hikaru’s 1J...Except with GPB, all covered up, which is then probably my favorite all time. Quote

The thing is, I do have an uncanny love for the Hikkie's 1j, and I have him in every scale, but as i write this, I just realized I actually have [now] one more Max overall, ha. I do love the 1J max too, as you can see in my shelves, lol. I forgot i had Max in HMR too, momentarily. I don't even have a 1S in HMR, at the moment. If anyone wants to donate an HMR or HM 1S to my shelf, i promise I will take good care of it. In addition, I believe the Dx series has the best gun strap solution of them all. I am actually using the gun straps, and that says it all. This stupid line is growing on me, and i don't like it. Edited October 13, 2019 by vlenhoff I keep looking at MAx's 1A every few minutes. I think i am in Love. Quote

Yeah, I got a bunch of Hikaru 1Js too, it’s not that I don’t like it, just not as much as almost every other version. Again, except with GBP which puts it on a whole other level. Quote

IMHO I know the 1/48 GBP is not the best iteration of the GPB armor, but man, it looks so monstrous, i love it. Edited October 13, 2019 by vlenhoff Quote

I like the 1/48 because it's SO beefy. That said, when taking everything into account I think the 1/60 edges it out. That's coming from a "Big Toy Guy". Quote

I have like 8 of them new in box, resting inside boxes, doing nothing. Yeah the 1/60 GPB is more line art accurate. Beefy, though, is the best way to describe the 1/48 GPB.... and I like beef...

I wouldn’t mind another one. Thanks! Quote
sqidd Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 I played with the stand a bit today and spread these guys out a bit. Switched up Battroid mode. added ordinance to Gerwalk. I really dig these stands. Quote

Saburo Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Time is something I have been having less of lately, I'll try to get through processing soon. Here's a preview of Max's VF-1A, Enjoy! Edited October 14, 2019 by Saburo Quote

I know my Bandai 1/55 must be somewhere in a box... like in Raiders of the lost Ark I went on deep trip down memory lane, and I found my first "love". I tried to take a picture of it in nearly the same angle as did with my second "love", years ago. I was going to transform DX Hikkie into fighter, and take a picture of it, but I started reading the news about Syria... mood killed. Edited October 14, 2019 by vlenhoff Quote

derex3592 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 weeeell...it was a crazy busy work week and that was the spare 3 minutes I had to open it up and put it somewhere...LOL. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Just messing with you. I really like the figure myself. During Minmay’s concerts he plays a pivotal security guard role. Quote
derex3592 Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 I REALLY wish they would do a TV outfit Minmay at some point, either in Chinese red dress or swimsuit competition getup or schoolgirl outfit. I really hope they do Lisa/Misa, Claudia, Global and the Bridge Bunnies too at some point. That would just be so cool! Quote

Thanks a lot, jerks! That's because HG is blocking any Japanese company (Yamato/Arcadia, Bandai, Wave, Yellow Sub, Banpresto) from selling anything under the original Macross name to the west. That's why I don't support HG anymore nor watch my old Robotech VHS cause I know the truth. and that HG should've have just given up after lack of interest in their franchise. Quote

I tried to ignore these and didn’t want to have anything to do with them. Then I saw pics of people getting Minmei. I was impressed but brushed it off because it wasn’t the look I preferred. The Hikaru orders opened and I couldn’t resist placing one just to see what was up. Got that and it was over from the moment I opened the box. I was shocked and impressed by the overall presentation and package so much I immediately ordered Misa and shortly after, went ahead and ordered a Valk and Minmei. While I won’t say they are the best figures ever, they are by far the best we’ve ever seen for these characters and you can see that KC put a lot of effort and passion into trying to deliver definitive products that are fan pleasing. I absolutely support KC as a company and would put their effort, passion and service at #1 for a toy company, period. I can’t rate the quality of the figures that high but they are good enough that I prefer no other company, including Bandai with their SHF even attempt to make any and I’d rather just go all in with KC.

Thanks a lot, jerks! It might be possible that the fee paid to HG is only for item shipped to US. There are re-seller of KC product on ebay, and their sales might not be registered as US sales by KC or HG. Quote
