Nightbat Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Was browsing the upcoming releases at HLJ when I came across this: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?KBYPP-12 [strongbad]Holy Crap![/strongbad] Yes it's the PVC version I know it's not for the diehard modelers, but for someone like me who has 2 left hands when it comes to painting/assembling something like this, it's too risky especially when the resin kit costs $180+ And I really wanted this kit bad! I already got the Comic party1/7 Takase Mizuki Swimsuit Ver. 1 PVC Completed and actually found it pretty nice for something mass-produced So now it's available for half the price I'm getting it! any Mahoromatic fans also getting this? btw 1/12 scale makes it around +/- 13-14 cm's for the figure am I correct?

Dangard Ace Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Looks nice. Always wanted that kit...now I don't have to build it. Quote
Vostok 7 Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 Whoa. Hot maid chick on a cool bike... How can you go wrong?!? Vostok 7 Quote

Anubis Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 (edited) OK, I broke down and pre-ordered one from HLJ. They have the 5% off "early bird" now too. I have to keep watching though just in case it's released domestically, just like the Asuka Summer Casual PVC and a few others from that company, for cheaper. Edited April 28, 2004 by Anubis Quote

Well. I live in the Netherlands so anything "Domestic" is still more expensive than importing it from Japan that also means that importing from the US -though cheaper as buying it from a domestic source- is more expensive than straight out of Japan Edit: It'll probably won't have the cool features of the resin though (dismanteling the cowl of the bike to show the engine/seatpipes) Edited April 28, 2004 by Nightbat® Quote
wolfx Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 EeeeeeEEeee that's so damn cool! Mahoro-san! Yes I loved that resin kit....but I'm abit disappointed that the price of this PVC figure is very high. I can't afford it. I'd rather use the money and buy me a valk or binaltech. Quote
Anubis Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) I balked at the cost too at first, but remembered the cost of the resin statue, $180!! So I kind of understand this one's price (not that I don't wish it was cheaper), as well as the fact that it comes with the motorcycle as well as Mahoro. Quite a nice piece actually. Pricey, but a unique pvc. Edited April 29, 2004 by Anubis Quote

Quite a nice piece actually. Pricey, but a unique pvc. Nah...its just that I keep comparing prices of things to a 1/48 valk cause I only have one and wish for another. Like the Pinky:St figures, 1/10 a 1/48 valk each....woohoo! Cheap! Mahoro = 90% a valk....oooh...expensive. Know what I mean? Need to rise higher in the corporate ladder. Quote
Anubis Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 (edited) New pic from the Shizouka Hobby Show: Beautiful sculpt and paint job. Edited May 14, 2004 by Anubis Quote
Keiichi Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 I love Mahoro, but I really think she'd look better on the bike in her battle suit, just seems more appropiate. Who rides a motorcycle in a maid outfit? D: Sorry Anubis, you won't be making me use my money this time! Quote

Nightbat Posted May 15, 2004 Author Posted May 15, 2004 Too bad it never appeared in the manga/anime Quote
Anubis Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 I don't care, it just fits Mahoro somehow. Besides, she looks better in her signature maid outfit anyway. Quote
Nightbat Posted May 15, 2004 Author Posted May 15, 2004 Yeah, but on the other hand: how many statues were made with her in her battlesuit? Quote
Anubis Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 Yeah, but on the other hand:how many statues were made with her in her battlesuit? Touche. Although if they were to release a battle suit PVC, I would gladly buy that as well. Quote
wolfx Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 Yeah, but on the other hand:how many statues were made with her in her battlesuit? Touche. Although if they were to release a battle suit PVC, I would gladly buy that as well. I have one, made by SEGA Prize. It only looks good at certain angles though cause her face is a little flat. Quote
Nightbat Posted May 15, 2004 Author Posted May 15, 2004 Although if they were to release a battle suit PVC, I would gladly buy that as well. in a heartbeat (which really doesn't mean anything 'cause the same was done with this Mahoro satue ) Quote
Yohsho Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Hopefully the statue comes with some stickers or something to make it look like the pictures where her bike has Pioneer stickers all over it, or at least a little Vesper sticker for the gas tank. Oh willing to buy Mahoro with Silpheed flying statue. Quote
Nightbat Posted June 14, 2004 Author Posted June 14, 2004 Yeah, reanimating an old thread but more good news: http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?YMT33782 too bad it doesn't mention the scale and look at the manufacturer Hopefully we'll one day see a Battlesuit(/Sylpheed) Mahoro Unfortunatly, browsing (or getting lost) through Yamato's site came up with nothing Quote
wolfx Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Hopefully we'll one day see a Battlesuit(/Sylpheed) Mahoro I've said it before and I'll say it again. There IS a battlesuit mahoro by Sega Prize and I have it. Got it from an anime convention in Australia. No Sylpheeds yet though. Quote
wolfx Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Not the most detailed of figures. But it works. Bad thing about it, the stub at the bottom of her shoes which goes into the base she stands on BENDS after awhile. (PVC sickness) So right now, she doesn't stand upright. More like leaning. Quote
Nightbat Posted June 15, 2004 Author Posted June 15, 2004 Cool figure, bad pose and something looks funny - the gun! Quote
Nightbat Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 Got it Took a few Pics with a lousy camera and an unsteady hand so excuse the bad pics (and lighting) Quote
Anubis Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Wow, that's a lot of detail. Explains the hefty price tag. Very very nice. Out of my budget though now. Quote
Nightbat Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 first: the bad news No stickers (Pioneer/MV Agusta) -that was the bad news the good news is: A good chunk of the bike is Die-Cast, it's heavy as hell Mahoro is very well painted (for mass production... and I can't paint to save my life) and ...It's mine! Quote
Nightbat Posted August 10, 2004 Author Posted August 10, 2004 Wow, that's a lot of detail. Explains the hefty price tag.Very very nice. Out of my budget though now. Hefty? this is the PVC completed kit the Resin "do-it-yourself" has a much higher pricetag Quote
