myk Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 I've given up on figures having accurate face sculpts. That Solo figure is pretty good, though...
Mommar Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 I got Heavy Arms built but the waterslide decals are absolute crap. They will not stay on. All of them are curling and peeling off.

I just bought a booster unit, GU11, racks and missiles for it; although I'm having a friend of mine 3D print extra tips for the missiles since I'm missing a few. I don't have a correct pilot because I refuse to pay what those Matchbox figures go for (especially a Roy Fokker one), so one of my WWII pilots is filling in for now lol. Maybe I'm going nuts in my old age, but thirty four years later I'm suddenly enjoying this fugly thing lol... Expand Christ, that thing is gnarly, lol! Even at 10 years old, I knew that thing was all kinds of strange. The 1J head with the 1S lasers, the swing bar from the chunkies (but the inability to fully transform, wtf?!), the incorrectly mounted gunpod, the super pack with missing arm and leg armor, the funky missiles and the weird proportions overall, hahahahahaha! I'm not going to lie, I threw some money at some Robotech toys back then, but I knew this thing was not something I wanted because it was just so off, lol!

Expand Yeah it's a mess of a design but for some reason its finally caught my attention. I had heard that originally the Matchbox VF1 and the hovertank were supposed to have full transformation but it just didnt make it to the final design. That plane cost $65 new when I bought it back in the day; a lot of money today (IMO), but a fortune back then...
505thAirborne Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 @borgified I actually have a spare set of Fast Packs I can use for now, down the road when my Piggy-Bank is full again I might try & track down a set of official Stealth Armor. @Lolicon I highly encourage you to find one, It's officially a must have!! The Macross Zero type pilot is so cool.

They went as far as cloning the chunky's leg swing bars. I saw a few customs floating around out there, not sure if anyone ever completed one that was 3 mode capable., Childhood memories right? I think I have two or three Inbit, maybe a Regult.

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 I have one of those non transforming VF-1 fighters in a different paint scheme. I think its more HIkaru DYRL paint scheme if I remember correctly.. and it came from a toyline called ExoSquad or something along those lines. I remember looking at it like WTF?
Slave IV Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 My kids have been big on Ninjas from Ninjago, TMNT, Naruto and Gatchaman. Needless to say, I am proud. Sooner or later, I knew Power Rangers would be a thing and it has hit big time with them. I got my son this for Christmas. I have heard “Power Star Lock in! Ninja Spin!” Constantly for the last few days, lol! Needless to say, it’s his favorite present by far and his older sister wants one for her birthday now.

Expand That's the same toy that I posted about on the previous page but repackaged as an Exosquad toy. Minor changes to coloring and stickering, but basically the same toy. I wish I had picked up the Glaug and the hovertank when they were reissued as well...

Keeps it to ¥18000+¥4400+¥8800, or a bit under $300 before shipping. Much more reasonable than the aftermarket pricing, even if the Strike Packs and Missiles are a bit expensive.
