Thanks @borgified BTW @Saburo I love the Valk's relaxed pose next to the beast armor. Edited September 11, 2019 by vlenhoff

Finally heard back from Mandarake about shipping me the wrong item. Good news is that they will be sending me my VF-171 and Armored Parts. And I guess the incorrect figure they sent me is cheap enough that it is not worth it for them to have me ship it back (the box is HUGE) . So I now own a figure from something called "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS"....?????? That was a mouthful...

It's an old figure for series more than 10 years back, and yeah the price is so low (about 2000 to 3500 yen) that maybe the shipping fee from your place to japan is cost more than the item itself.

I am guessing it is a Sailor Moon-like show. The figure is pretty well-made, from what I can see. Pondering if I can have its weapon be wielded by a valkyrie...

I'm guessing that's a kit, due to the lack of markings, but looks pretty good! I want to say that looks like the old Monogram snap kit, but I thought that one was 1/144?

Maybe I’ll put some spare HM skull stickers on it.
sh9000 Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 Marvel Legends extra sets to choose best paint apps. 1/18 Audi R8 V 10 Plus. My 3.75” Tony Stark figure now has a red Audi to drive.
sqidd Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 My first VF-25. Really fiddly, but a nice piece. I won't lie, it had me on the ropes for a few minutes. I really dig though. I do realize having the knife in the shield hand isn't exactly how that's supposed to be done, but he looks cool! I'm absolutely going to have to get a couple more so I can have a fighter and gerwalk thing going on. Also un-boxed another 1/60 VF-1S Focker. This one is grounded until my Yeti stands come in.
Lolicon Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 ^ Love the VF-25. Would really like to see an updated version on the level of recent releases.

I've decided that the VF-25 is my favorite model of valk. I definitely agree that a slightly updated version would be very welcome - maybe even see Arcadia's take on it. Yes, yes...fantasy land.

Instead of a Yamato VF-1J, they sent me a v1 Yamato VF-11B. I contacted them and they just refunded me the money, but didn't ask me to send the wrong item back.

sh9000 Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Hot Wheels go well with 1/60 Valkyries and I’m currently liking the futuristic looking ones.

sh9000 Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Marvel Legends Nightcrawler. I’ll probably have him converted into X-Force Nightcrawler before Hasbro releases theirs. 1/100 F-15J Aggressor. I like it. Mafex John Wick from Chapter 2 and John Wick Chapter 3 blu-ray.

sqidd Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Un-boxed these two guys today. Is the "cloudiness" on/in the VF-31 canopy normal? I bought this used/opened. But it was never un-boxed. This is the first DX VF-1 I have had in my hands. The hype is real. It's super nice.
Sanity is Optional Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Yeah, that canopy is normal, across all the VF-31 figures. The VF-1 is pretty amazing. Transform it to battroid, it's the best posing of the transforming figures.

I REALLY can't wait for the DX VF-1S with S&S parts now!
Slave IV Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 So I got this thing Unfortunately, this is the Mafex I'm more used to expecting. Basically, lackluster. It almost feels like KO quality. The joints are poorly designed and not very effective, the whole figure feels cheap and easily falls apart when you try to use almost any of the supposed articulation. Positives are the paint application is pretty good and the wired cape is nice. I also like the comic panel accessories but think I will end up using the stands for those for something else. I got this as kinda a test to see if I would want more Mafex figures in the future and if I was basing it just on this, the answer would be no. Luckily for Mafex, I got their Spidey figure before this and that is better in almost every way so I guess I'll keep my existing preorders for the other comic Marvel and Batmans. Venom is on the way so hopefully that will be better too. Good thing is I have a character that is unique and not available from any other line. I'd be pretty pissed if I went for the regular Gwenpool since that would be one case where I think I'd rank the ML version higher than the "high end", cost three times more version.
