jenius Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Looks like they tried to make them as similar to Tamashii stands as possible but these integrate with the FEXT display sets. Quote

It's become a yearly tradition that my brother buys me a pile of clear stands for my birthday (30 or 40) that I'll use for Marvel Legends/SHF/etc... for the year. I was wondering if these might be a decent thing for this year instead of his usual Quote

Slave IV Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Are these bases the same as the translucent roof lighting panels that came with sci-fi 3? Quote

ScrambledValkyrie Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 I see their photos of the stands holding an HMR VF-1 wth super parts, but I think I’d be a little nervous doing that. Haven’t people had some trouble in the past with similar arms from Tamashii failing? Quote

Haven’t people had some trouble in the past with similar arms from Tamashii failing? I read the description and it says their arms are ratcheted. I've had good luck with the Tamashii arms but it takes some finesse. If these arms are ratcheted, they will be a pleasure to use in comparison. Quote
sumyumgoy Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 I'd probably get a set of the Fext stands just so I can have more lighting panels. Do Tamashii arms peg into the base as well? Are the pegs the same size? Quote

vladykins Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 Not sure, but every time I see that pict I want to start buying up HMR valks and stands. I keep telling myself I don't have room to buy another scale (beyond the HMR destroids). But then I keep seeing that VE-1 and tell myself I need it. I almost talked myself into putting my v1 Yammie VE-1 up for sale and switching to these instead. Almost. Quote

I've had my HMR valks posed like that with regular Tamashii stands for years and it's fine. It is finicky and you have to balance it all out, but it works. The other thing is HMR are very durable. I've dropped Valks from over 6' high onto hard floors and parts might come off but they go right back on, no breakages. Quote

borgified Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 The HMR has a smaller footprint than the Yamacaida/DX valks, however not all valks/mecha are made in in HMR format. As to the next HMR to be released after Roy's VF-4 is a guessing game. Quote

Yep- got all the destroids (and waiting patiently for a Tomahawk and Phalanx to have my Monster fire over). I finally said "frakk it" and ordered a HMR Super Ostrich, since that's one of the schemes I don't have in any scale yet and the fact that the VF-1D was essentially the same price and didn't come with the fast packs sold me to grab this one first. Now I'm hoping not to start buying a ton and needing to put another shelf up in "Auxiliary Control". Quote

You gotta have at least one Valk to go with them so you can see how it goes from there. Quote

Just a note, the adapter peg holes are a little inconsistent, some adapters held the arm firmly and some were not as tight. Not a deal breaker, some future or nail polish will fix that.

Love the DeTolf's in the background. Most of us have jammed so much into our cabinets it's hard to enjoy the individual pieces any more. Quote

Yeah- have the glaug and regult too (but not the missile regults because by the time I spotted them the prices were obscene). I've talked myself out of this over and over on a space available issue but these stands are amking me go "Maybe I can make some more space". Quote

I try to keep the display simple, representation of each main Valks of the Macross series (except for M7, since I don't have any Valks from that series). I feel its a bit of a mess because I have all the DYRL VFs off stand, and the DX VFs are placed on shelf because I don't know what I want to do displaying them since they are 1:48th and I want to keep the display consistent with scale. Also I haven't put them away yet so I can take more photos of them the Hikaru 1S gets released. 5 hours ago, sumyumgoy said: Thanks @Saburo !
