baronv Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Surfing for Macross toys and came across this 1/100 scale, resin Varuta figure. http://www.cartoonpassion.com/mac3.html Has anyone seen this before? Quote
Valkyrie Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I've got one of those. Awful recast, cast in horrible resin. It's extremely hard resin, and it's brittle as hell. Avoid it like the plague. The same can probably said about every other resin kit of that site. Quote
VFX Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM cartoonpassion.com !!!!! They only sell ungodly crappy recasts that are brittle and more filler (sand) than resin. They are total rip offs!!!! Quote
Myersjessee Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Wow...thanks for the warning...I had thought about it! Thank you thank you thank you! Quote
baronv Posted March 31, 2004 Author Posted March 31, 2004 Thanks for the reply, I was this close to getting it. Anyone know of any models of the enemy ships from M7 that are good? Quote
Valkyrie Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 As far as I know, no Macross 7 ship models were ever made Quote
VFX Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Thanks for the reply, I was this close to getting it. Anyone know of any models of the enemy ships from M7 that are good? That kit was a recast of the WAVE full action original. A guy from SanFran sells originals on ebay from time to time. His ebay name is 'RX93'. He's a good guy. Keep an eye out for him. Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Yeah he is a good guy, he owns NewType Hobbies near golden gate park, an amazing shop. Quote
P.W.Royce Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Yeah he is a good guy, he owns NewType Hobbies near golden gate park, an amazing shop. A nice guy, and an amazing shop, unfirtunatly I think it has gone out of buisness Quote
Grayson72 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Oh no! I haven't been there for quite some time. I used to go there in the 80's when he ran that place out of his basement up the street Quote
Mervin Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I've dealt with RX93 as well, he has a great selection of resin kits up for auction on ebay. He puts them up about once a month. The prices are reasonable too. Quote
VF-17 Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 I was working on this kit for sometime..... but, put it off to the side for the time being. And yes, I bought it from RX93 I actually do quite a bit of business with him. As for the kit, it's pretty good. The castings were quite sharp, and the parts fit well. The only downside is the loose joints, but nothing really major. It will stand on its own. Quote
seventh-moon Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 (edited) I met the guy who owns cartoon passion.com. he travels northern californian carnivals. when he came back to livermore, he was selling anime soundtracks and model cars. no more DBZ imports, Wallscroles, and gundam action figures. to bad he such a nice guy.
