I did recently change it from a flat to semi-gloss finish so it matches more recent stuff I've worked on, which incidentally reflects a lot more light. Oh nice, I've only just started learning to use those kits on a hangar display. I don't dare use it on a valk just yet hehe. 3 hours ago, davidwhangchoi said: he truly is a great master. honestly think the his vf-1s roy is one of the best!

Jaustin89 Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Finally got my die cast SR-71 pre-order that was supposed to have shipped in June; it was a long wait but worth it.

I'm sure if you only produced a small number on a made-to-order basis, it would fall under fair use and Big West won't sue you. Though maybe consult a lawyer first. 10 hours ago, sumyumgoy said: Yea, I did a double take on the Vf-1S, looks "Ultra-Premium" Thanks! They can be removed with a most towel or Q-tip, so don't be afraid to try! On another note, finally got my premium Roy along with some other PW stuff.
Lolicon Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 AH, the kind of quality I've come to expect from the franchise.

I won't buy a single thing one of those pos Eaglemoss models. The build quality of the ships that actually show up intact is terrible and out of the seven primary Enterprise four of mine were broken on arrival.
derex3592 Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 wow...really? i've had great luck with the eaglemoss ST ships... The one Enterprise i got that had a broken nacelle, the seller shipped me a new one for free! I have over 20 of them, no other issues.

I got it from HLJ at half price, and HLJ has been pretty good at replacing or refunding for broken items like this.

TOS Enterprise the port side nacelle was snapped off. A, the saucer section was broken at the neck. The D both of the nacelles were snapped off. Only the B,C and E came out unscathed. I managed to fix the D well enough but the NX-01 is impossible and the TOS one looks horrible where the nacelle was snapped off so even though it's glued it looks really bad. Not going to bother with the A. They were part of "special" three and four packs of all the Enterprises and the distributors didn't have anymore so I tried to contact Eaglemoss directly and they told me to go away. So I have, screw them and their shoddy products.

sh9000 Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I'm going to customize the head to make a younger Logan. I'll still buy the one coming out later on the vintage card that includes the extra head. Maybe that one will stay MOSC. Edited August 6, 2017 by sh9000
Lolicon Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 I just wanted the Max figure for my blue Q-Rau... now I have to track down the other CM Macross figures.

I think the one on the "vintage" card is just a reused head from the unmasked Wolverine in the Jubilee BAF from several years ago. I was going to suggest finding one of those to use for the head because they used to be a dime a dozen but it looks like you can't get them for very cheap anymore.

I think it's a slightly different head. I'm happy with the one I made. I just need to fix the hair a little bit and paint over the wrinkles, eyebrows, and hair.
Slave IV Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Wow, you're doing custom Marvel figures too @sh9000? Nice! I finally just watched Logan last night. Surprisingly good movie. I went to 4 Targets and a few Walgreen's over the weekend and saw 0 new ML or BS figures. I did find a TDKR Joker to pretty much complete my Batman collection. The only other figure I'd want is a shriveled Superman if someone ever made one.

I'm still sticking to just the upcoming Deadpool wave and new X-Men wave so I won't need to buy any new ML for a while.
General Rasp Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 I got an awesome shipment from HLJ! And what is inside the box??? I am loving the Hi-Metal R Xabungle. I have not watched the show but it is an excellent figure. I got the gundam stuff on HLJ last sale and the re:edit iron man to continue with the growing collection. I need to find time tonight to open Guyver 3 and the Kshatriya. I don't own any other Robot Spirits but the Kashatrya looked too good to pass up.

I haven't picked up the Modular Iron Man yet mainly because I don't think it looks like the Modular Armor design from the comics and the look suits War Machine better to me. Still, it's a great looking figure and I see it's on sale currently...Hmmm.
anubis20 Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Met up with some friends at the local Transformers meet and picked up the TFCon exclusives they picked up for me Also got an early birthday present from a friend
Boobytrap Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Nice box you got there. The RS Kshatriya is one of my favorite toys. If I had to pick only one RS it would be that one easily. Have fun with the funnels.

That box art is sweet though. I'm not even going to look at that Guyver 3 for fear of going down that road...
