derex3592 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Maybe Tenjin was too busy designing the box art for the Tomahawk, Phalanx and Q-Rau.......couldn't be bothered with this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last hobby related prayer I did was a few years back for Cap to reissue the Inbit kits. No wait...it was the one that all Zentradii warship classes be available for purchase. Couldn't hurt I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you place the order direct with Amazon, and not with a 3rd party seller on Amazon? Amazon Japan G.K. 2020/02/19 - 2020/02/22 It's just a day but it's an odd difference to have.

Monsterarts Vajria for the Froniter display, however the Vajria never made it up for production. @David Hingtgen wanted a Figuarts Rain Mikamura as it was teased, it never got made. A teased YF-21 was presented in the OG Hi Metal lineup, got scrapped after the line got cancelled. No telling if the YF-21 will get the upgraded treatment and made in to the present HMR lineup. Even some of the 1/6th companies made teasers for the large show (Comic Cons and Trade Conventions) and it never got made due to production costs. TBL teased a Ninjak figure, got cancelled due to lack of sales (possible reason why). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have piles and piles of SH Figuarts Star Wars figures alone that have never seen the light of day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I plan on making a version 2 chess board with each square being 8”. The finished chess board will be a 5’ 4” square and will accommodate the HMR Monsters for Rooks. I’ll probably take a picture of the setup on my living room floor or a parking lot or something.

Guyffon Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I just realized that the number on this vf-4S is 101, does that mean it belongs to hikaru? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Obviously it's the TV version VF-4, where Hikaru has the black+yellow paintjob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
