borgified Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Not exactly a haul from me today although I should get a delivery soon, however is anyone interested in a Chunky Monkey?? Amiami has one for sale (Item B, Box B) at 14.4k yen Thought I should post here as this gets a fair bit of traffic. Edit: Here's my haul.. TargetMaster Roddy via Amazon.jp as I got no problems with the exterior box after seeing pics of it being opened. It arrived sealed and intact. Edit #2: Chunky Money is gone (I didn't get it as I have one in storage). Edited January 11, 2019 by borgified
iguanaman8989 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Just come in today from Amazon. Missed out on the preorder from HLJ. Proportions are much nicer than the older figures, his coattails are actual cloth with a wire in the trailing edge, plus all his rings are individual little pieces that peg into his hands or belt carrier.
borgified Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 @iguanaman8989: The SS Showa and Heisei Kamen Riders are way better than their previous incarnations by leaps and bounds as I have two (Hibiki and Skull) with a pre-order for Kiva which will be joined by HMR VF-1D. At least Wizard doesn't have clown feet this time round.
iguanaman8989 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I’ve got Kiva on preorder, and I definitely want his option set. I’m also waiting for Hibiki’s soonish reissue.
Duymon Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Was at Housing Works (recycle shop chain in NYC) with the Wife and found these little gems. Hobby-base 1/35 MA.k SAFS series 2 figures from like 2003. I used to nab these in the UFO catchers when I was an exchange student in Japan. Housing works tagged them at $.50 a piece which was a total steal. I sanded out the scuffs, used some tamiya weathering powders to add back some dirt, satin-coated them and put them on 28mm bases. So happy to have these little SAFS buggers on my work desk. Edited January 11, 2019 by Duymon

It arrived sealed and intact. Nice purchase!! I have the standard Hot Rod and wanted the targetmaster as soon as this version was announced. Sadly the KO version never came and no one seems to be selling the TM on it's own. So I rebought Offshoot (from the original MP-09 TRU edition which I used to own) and it fits like a glove, aside from engine mounted mode.

Mommar Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 My Mezco Defenders Doctor Strange finally arrived today. He poses well with the other three of the four Marvel Legends Defenders members I have (we need a new Red She-Hulk to complete the group.)

kanedaestes Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Yes. Yes it is. I kept going back and forth then said screw it I have the funds might as well
vlenhoff Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Nice SDF-1 example! This thing really looks cool!
Sanity is Optional Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Picked up a HLJ shipment yesterday, including my last DX VF-1J.
borgified Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 As a comic book junkie, got the last two TPBs in the present Old Man Logan saga. I'm sure that the continuation: "Dead Man Logan" will tie up loose ends as I've been reading through various comic posts online.
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Some purchases over the last few weeks
borgified Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 @spacemanoeuvres: So NY did finally delivered the 31A to you or did you have to go though other means to get a copy?

Can't be from NY, as they didn't ever (to my knowledge) ship them out in the Tamashii shipping box.

Earlier release of the 31A yes, the latter ones didn't get the box , unless @spacemanoeuvres went through a proxy. I guess that we all have to find out from the man himself..
spacemanoeuvres Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 @borgified @Sanity is Optional I purchased the 31A from a MWF member. I believe it originated from CDJ
Lolicon Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Finally opened up the Discovery version of the Enterprise I picked up late last year. She's a fine looking ship. Let's hope season 2 won't be such a letdown (though I'm not counting on it). The hand is the Discovery redesign of the giant hand from "Who Mourns for Adonais?"

And especially the hand, seems to be so fully posable
Sildani Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Skin paint is top notch too. I don’t have much OCD, honestly, but... one is the alignment of starship nacelles. Are yours straight?

Are there any regular size Eaglemoss Enterprise models you could compare it next to or do you only do XL? I skipped on the XL C because that effer was just too big next to anything else and my shelf is pretty much done with now.

Both nacelles are nice and perfectly straight with each other and the rest of the ship. 8 hours ago, Mommar said: Reviews of the Discoprise have been good but I’m not sure I want a giant XL version.

I'll get some comparison shots when I get home.

Those ships look surprisingly menacing, with each ship having those 2 big cannons attached on each side of the center body and in front of the circular tail end.

derex3592 Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I'll just let @Lolicon take this one.... Edited January 14, 2019 by derex3592
