spanner Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 that's a huge prime right there. indeed he is! Wow Spanner, I've never seen that VF-1j before that is one of the Yamato build kits (no painting ver. ) with a head unit from "Macross The First" version of the VF-1J designed by MWF member Kurisama and made by Shapeways. MWF member Lancelot did the build for me! Turned out pretty bloody good eh!
sh9000 Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Nice VF-1J. It looks so cool that it should be officially released.
vlenhoff Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Oh man I wanted a "no paint ver" back then, but i was broke. It looks gorgeous Spanner.
Scyla Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Look what showed up from Mandarake today: Waiting for one at a good price a whole while. It is such a nice toy. Much better build quality than todays Transformers toys. He has limited articulation range and a stupid auto transform gimmick but he looks stunning. The gun metal gray paint and metallic highlights on him are gorgeous. His weapons are a bit lacking but make a nice alt-mode. I'm now one Animated Cliffjumper away from complete my Animated collection. Maybe I will switch Skywarp with Animated Skywarp when I find him. Now onward to my next black and teal Prime/Convoy repaint (and RID Scourge). Edited May 18, 2016 by Scyla
ArchieNov Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 TF Animated toys were the ones that restored my faith in transformers toys. Prior to them, I always saw TF toys as having poor screen accuracy and lackluster engineering. Too bad I sold off my entire TF Animated collection a few years ago in order to free up space.
no3Ljm Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Awesome purchases everyone! Thank you for the offer but I have sworn off getting any of the 171s, although maybe I can borrow a 171 and take photos of it, there is a thought... Did someone say FP Dinobots and Ocular Max Jaguar!? Ravage was one of my first Pre-Transformers transforming toy. Alongside pre-Thundercracker. Great pics btw, Saburo!
vlenhoff Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Yeah Saburo great pics. I'm trying to light things well, but I think I need a better camera than just my phone's.

Thanks no3ljm! Yeah Saburo great pics. I'm trying to light things well, but I think I need a better camera than just my phone's. Thank you vlenhoff, what type of lighting are you using, a dedicated camera does help but I have seen some great photos out there taken by a camera phone too.
ArchieNov Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Yahoo! Finally got my Master Made Titan (Metroplex). Had to import it from the US (which ended up being a really expensive mistake), but I'm still happy to have it in my collection.
vlenhoff Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Saburo, I am using 3 lights. 2 of them diffused and the other i bounce off a piece of colored or white paper. Are you cropping those images, or is the background perfectly black? Edited May 20, 2016 by vlenhoff

But in the end, I really don't want to start another toy line. And I'm also running out of space. Hehehe. Also, would it be nice if Metroplex comes with Optimus Prime instead of Ultra Magnus? I mean, Rex came with Megatron though. Saburo, I am using 3 lights. 2 of them diffused and the other i bounce off a piece of colored or white paper. Are you cropping those images, or is the background perfectly black? Nice shot! Loving the mood here.
spanner Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Hmmm... Not sure which Dinobots your cousin has (there a bunch of 3P companies releasing them) but as for Fansproject Dinobots Grimlock is next and he is the 4th figure in the series, Snarl will be the last one to complete the G1 dinos. FP is working 2 female dinobots aka the twins and I do believe Paddles too. oops must of missed this somehow.. I think he has pretty much everything there is to be had when it comes to TF's but the one's I was referring to were the Fans Toys Dino's! Which clearly look the most impressive out of the lot in my opinion! He mentioned that Grimlock was the final FT Dino coming later this year. But I wasn't aware of Fansproject Dinobots toys.. And female Dinobots eh!? im sure that will be interesting! Hope they do a better job on those than Macross did with Mylene's VF-11 MaxL.. boobs.. shakes head.. And yes there seem to be many 3rd party companies making stuff which makes it a little difficult to keep up with who's doing what! Especially for someone like me who hasn't had a Bee's dicks worth of interest in these things until now.

no3Ljm Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Optimus will be coming with Omega Supreme next month Wait. What?! There's Omega Supreme too? Man, now I have to think if I'm going to get those two now. Hehehe.
ArchieNov Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Wait. What?! There's Omega Supreme too? Man, now I have to think if I'm going to get those two now. Hehehe. Yup. Here's a link to some prototype pics: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/1044143-master-made-apollo-sdt-03-omega-supreme.html You know... after taking a closer look at the base mode pic, I noticed that this Omega Supreme will come with normal robot hands too. I can see the articulated fingers and fists on each side of the rocket. I guess you can leave off the claw and cannon if ever you want to go for a non-traditional look (which is a GREAT option IMO).

technoblue Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) The Master Made bots are worth it, Noel, and they don't take up too much space. I have Makuros and Titan (Metroplex), myself, with Diabolus (Trypticon) on the way. Apollo (Omega) was pre-ordered some time back. Their take on Scroponok looks sweet too. For me, it's a great way to collect the transforming city bots without setting aside a whole wall for the display. One thing I keep hoping to see is for Master Made to revisit other Macross designs. An SD Macross Quarter or an SD Macross 7 would be an insta-buy for me, especially if they came with more scaled-down SD Valkyries to go with them. Edited May 20, 2016 by technoblue
Muzaffar Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 My recent is the YF-19 reissue and the YF-29 durandle. Don't really care about the SMS and SWS printing problem considering it will stay in fighter mode forever.
Saburo Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Saburo, I am using 3 lights. 2 of them diffused and the other i bounce off a piece of colored or white paper. Are you cropping those images, or is the background perfectly black? Nice! That is a creative use of light by bouncing it off a color piece of paper. I do some cropping for photo composition, the background I use is a black cloth/fabric it cuts down on the amount of light that is reflected.
vlenhoff Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks No3jim, i am trying. Saburo, those are some great shots, I am amazed. You have the eye and the skill for it, I love your work. Ok i played with my light sources, and here is the progress...I noticed i had the lights on in my room and these were being captured by the camera. I had to have total darkness to get the effect i desired. I think this is as much as I can do with my own phone camera. My digital camera broke some months ago, and this is all i have, lol. I am not trying to hijack the thread, sorry. Edited May 21, 2016 by vlenhoff
vlenhoff Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) is that a revoltech in the background? Yes Aaajin, that is my good ol' revoltech Regult. I could only afford one HMR Regult Edited May 21, 2016 by vlenhoff
no3Ljm Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Yup.

An SD Macross Quarter or an SD Macross 7 would be an insta-buy for me, especially if they came with more scaled-down SD Valkyries to go with them. I thought there's going to be an SD Destroy Monster by Master Made that was announced long time ago. Any idea what happened to that? Regarding the Master Made TF toys, I'll think about it.
ErikElvis Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Just opened MPP-10. Total win. I think they may have something with the oversize MP knock-offs
Scyla Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 I envy you. A Gurren Lagann is missing in my collection. What is the current going rate for the Riobot? I guess the Konami High Impact toy is impossible hard to get nowadays.
anubis20 Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 I envy you. A Gurren Lagann is missing in my collection. What is the current going rate for the Riobot? I guess the Konami High Impact toy is impossible hard to get nowadays. I got it for ¥10,000 off YAJ, i think i got pretty lucky with that one. Here are some more pics of it. Both of these Riobots are really impressive. The green on EVA 01 is what makes the figure
sh9000 Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Bought a boxed Bandai Joke Machine VF-1S on Mandarake a couple of days ago. Good to be having one back in my collection.
anubis20 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 My PW from HLJ arrived. Only opened Locke so far and im impressed for it being a PAK. it can actually stand without a stand
Mr Bomber Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 My PW from HLJ arrived. Only opened Locke so far and im impressed for it being a PAK. it can actually stand without a stand I have mine on the PW along with the chief. You got me hypee with it, looks real cool.
