borgified Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) @fenrir72and @sh9000: That would be be Toyworld's take on JAZZ (Coolsville ) and Arcee (Leia). @slide: That is correct. It the NCC-1701C concept (originally designed by Dave Probert) and was posted a few pages back. For further clarity: Still paint flaws on this one as well. Edit: You think that Eaglemoss would do a better work in detailing?? Nope.. Looks like most of their customer base got the short end of the stick.

Quick question, Bahamutzyro. Is Jazz a Zeta Toys brand? And also, how come Arcee is so tall? Is she in-line with Masterpiece height? How is she besides MP Hot Rod/imus? Thanks!
borgified Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I can answer those questions as well @no3Ljm, I'm also on the TFW2005 boards as well (Macross fix here, TFs on the other). Note: This is what I read and understand so far - Zeta is reformat of Toyworld, due to the fact that some of the former employees of Toyworld (from the Design department) left due to the fact that the molds of Coolsville and (the upcoming?) Bruticus was used by Toyworld and didn't pay them for the rights. These employees found out and decided to leave, took the molds of Coolsville and Bruticus with them, formed their own company (now named Zeta). Zeta is doing another run of Coolsville (with tweeks from the former mold) later on under the brand Zeta-EX (?), ETA unsure. Leia is their take on a MP version of Arcee and scales in-line with FT's Kup and MP-09 (I think that pics with Leia and Hot Rod might be in the MP-28 thread).

ZorClone Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 I emailed Eaglemoss customer support about the Voyager XL. Will see how that goes. Hopefully they're replacing these Enterprise-C concept ships, that's just inexcusable.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 #14 & #15 of the Hi-Metal line R series for me.. Both are Duplicates.. Also got so of my first wave of the SD Valks from KitzConcepts line. More of these coming.. and I am glad I pulled the trigger on these they are rather neat.

derex3592 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Man I want one of those Skyfire's.....I know they aren't the best toy ever made, but MAN, he looks good just standing there!

I think you are refering to the old Daca Toys Skyfire that isn't the best toy ever. The one pictured, I'm pretty sure is the Fans Toys, which probably isn't the best toy ever either but should be a hell of a lot better than the one you were thinking of.

Yeah as Slave IV said, you're thinking of the old Daca Toys Chronos, which was garbage, and was widely panned as one of the worst figures ever made. Pictured above is indeed FansToys Phoenix/MP Skyfire, which is hands down one of their nicest figures, and easily one of the best MP figures ever made, official or third party.
derex3592 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 No, I know the FanToys is the one I want, just can't bring myself to pull that trigger....to many Macross purchases/wife bills...

I told myself never again with them over and over, then I bought Force Awakens Rey and her arm fall off, and her face wasn't printed on straight. It's good to see they are still trying I guess? If it didn't bust out of the box that's an improvement for them overall. I heard Homecoming Spidey was nice, but I love Figuarts Homecoming Spidey so I had no reason to bother with the Mafex.

Mp-28 is based really on hot rod and the old rodimus should be larger. She works pretty well. I did order the fanstoys as well so I’ll see how that one is. as far as the sky fire, he is one of the best 3rd party mp out there. Fans toys is a better quality figure vs most others. I do like dx9 as well.
