vlenhoff Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I caved in... thanks @anubis20 I think $45 is the cheapest price i have seen for the Swordfish II. Edited October 2, 2019 by vlenhoff

For that price I think its worth it. It couldve use some more diecast IMO but its still very neat. Only minor gripe I have with it is the parts swapping for the rear landing gear. All it needs now is a @ChaoticYeti stand adapter

After all this HMR craze, a rear swappable landing gear is no biggie. I've wanted one of these for ages!

Knightdramon Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 As with my previous NECA purchases, am trying to make my collection a bit more sci-fi oriented and just a smidge less transformers-y. Believe it or not, the Stormtrooper was the planned purchase and Springer the impulse one. First Black Series figure I bought...was bloody difficult getting it out of the clamshell. Springer has a lot of character and engineering in him but needs at least 1-2 video reviews to appreciate the joints/clicks that need to be in place.

Just in case you wanted to up-size, good smile company is making a 1/48 scale at significantly higher cost...

I think a light wash and panel line will do this much good. Maybe some light weathering. The 1/48 GoodSmile version have that from factory, can't wait to receive that too.

In the long run, I will be happy just to have one on display, it looks to be bad ass with all the accessories and over the top articulation. Glad you like the HMR Roy, what do you think of the grey compared to other version of Roy? The sickly pale grey sort of put me off, so I am on the fence on if I want to pay a high price for one.

That EVA is really awesome. You're going to love it. My only "complaint" is the size. There is so much goodness there I want more! I pre-ordered the Medicom 15" EVA. That should handle the size thing. Ya know. The grey Roy doesn't bother me. I'm kinda weird though. I'm probably not the best yard stick for that sort of thing.

Mommar Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 For an entirely parts re-user it’s a damn good looking figure.

Just receive shipping notice for my VF-1A, DHL said Friday delivery, but I think Monday is more realistic. Will check out the Medicom EVA.

kkx Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 @sqidd Thanks, will check out this video after work today.
Kuma Style Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Broly and Scarlet Spider came the other day; Waiting for the DX VF-1A today.

I figure if I'm going t have one Robocop, he may as well be a monster! And after paying what we pay for Valks a $180 18" tall Robocop seems like a bargain. Yeah, I know going into the Yamato VF-0S's that I was playing with fire. I got them MISB for the price of a Hi Metal R with fast packs (apparently no one wants them). I got three of them. One for each mode. The two that are getting transformed will only be transformed that once. Hopefully I don't break anything. I do have a full machine shop and the ability to 3D print at my disposal though. If I do break one, assuming I can find the time, I can fix it.
