Tking22 Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Got a Figuarts Loki for $57 shipped. I've seen the reviews so I know what to expect, at that price I had to bite.
Saburo Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 17 hours ago, Slave IV said: Thanks @Saburo! It’s a fantastic piece and should still be around so it’s not too late. As I mentioned, this was a must buy for me but it depends on your connection to it. Such a crazy design that immediately hit the nostalgia buttons for me and I’m glad it came out as good as it is. @Slave IV I had some memories Mechaner Robo as a kid seeing pictures at Japanese book stores. The fig is an awesome design and the gimmick are really well executed! As for nostalgia the Super Robot that has the most for me is Raideen. Going to check the budget. 6 hours ago, sqidd said: Bluefin has them! https://www.bluefinbrands.com/mechander-robo-tri-attack-mechander-robo-5pro-studio-carbotix.html Oh yes and oh damn... Thanks @sqidd!

Thanks @sqidd! Raideen is another great one. I love most the super robots from back in the day starting with the OG, Mazinger Z. The gimmicks with the Mechander are really great, especially the shields but I love them all. I would say objectively, the figure warrants a sub $200 price easily but given the likely smaller run from an offshoot company, I get the ~$250 price. That extra $50 or so makes it a tougher call if it were anyone that just didn’t absolutely have to have it. The figure itself is top notch from finish, design, build, joints perspective (however, no diecast). It just feels wonderful to mess with.

Mommar Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Oh man, if it weren’t for the lack of a smiling head sculpt this is absolutely the best Superman figure yet. Shoot, mine might be defective. There's supposedly two half-wires in the middle of the cape that I don't have. Edited February 2, 2021 by Mommar
Sanity is Optional Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 This just arrived, been looking for a while and one finally showed up for a (somewhat) reasonable price on YJA. Supposedly the interior trays have never been opened. Just don't ask me how bad the shipping cost was

Sanity is Optional Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 I'm good now, just wanted one or the other rather than the pair. It's actually a birthday gift for a friend, which is why it's still wrapped up.
Slave IV Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Got a bunch of figures today. Here are the two I had to open right away. Short review: She is swee-eet! Also got some accessories to back up my collection of Motoko figures: Good figure but nothing special other than it comes with some smoking accessories that you don’t see very often with toys. This is also a rare occasion that I got two figures from Goodsmile when I rarely buy any figures from them. They make good figures, just rarely of characters I feel the need to have.
Erebos Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Issues with availability and shipping has meant pumping the breaks on the Macross stuff. Instead some Hasbro Black Series Mando and the Moff Gideon got delivered today. Great toe articulation, Moff!

sh9000 Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 @Slave IV What company makes that Robocop and what is its scale? Looks cool.
Darth Mingus Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 @sh9000 Good Smile Company. I had one on Pre-Order and had to forego it. There is also an ED-209 model kit coming in the same scale https://www.hlj.com/hagane-works-robocop-robocop-gsc12214 https://www.hlj.com/moderoid-ed-209-robocop-gsc13109

Yep, as @Darth Mingus mentioned, it’s from Goodsmile’s Hagane Works. 1/12 with diecast. It is really nice...similar to figma but heftier and gimmicks like opening leg with 3 or 4 moving panels that look to recreate the same mechanisms in the movie. Damaged option parts. The chest piece is a nice chunk of diecast and uses magnets to hold it in place. Definitely the definitive Robocop figure to me. Now, has anyone ever seen any toy 6000 SUX?

I had the Mafex Robocop ordered but I’m considering getting this one as well. Looks like it can blend in well with other 1/12 scale figures.

Looks like it can blend in well with other 1/12 scale figures. Yep, it's pretty much perfect for 1/12 displays. I don't have the Mafex versions but based on the other Mafex figures I have, I don't see any way those could be close to being as good as this one. The only comments I've seen are about the face sculpt where the Mefex might be better but this one looks plenty good to me and that would be my lowest concern for a robot figure..ymmv.
Slave IV Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 So the timing was great! I got another Ghost in the Shell figure today! Should have a few more different Tachikomas coming any day now too.

Overall, I like the Revo Tachikoma that came out years ago better and I know they are different styles but I think they executed a bit better. Have a few more of the recent Tachikoma releases coming any day so if I have time to, I'd like to post some comparison thoughts.

Slave IV Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Like clockwork! In three days, I got three Ghost in the Shell toys! When has something like this ever happened? Never! But oh no! I didn’t realize it was a model until I opened it. Oh well, looks fun and I’ll get around to building it someday. I think there is at least one more Tachikoma on order to go.
borgified Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Got delivered yesterday. Dispite that it has two cracked hinges on the joints underneath where the neck/torso joins up, not too fussed over it (untill the eventual DX gets released then its another story right there). Was discussing it with @dafoband @rdrunner when the listing was up and took the plunge. One grail knocked off my list!

Sanity is Optional Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Finally took mine out the other day, was really surprised how light the VF-11 is.

Nice finds! I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a STH. I do have cases and cases of HW to the point where I have no idea what’s in them so hopefully there are some in there that I got without knowing. I did realize I had a TH Batmobile after going over a few boxes of HW a while ago.

ErikElvis Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Just picked up sideshows mythos ventress and maul. Haven’t opened them as I have no idea where to put them. From pics they look great though
