Nice...Mind me asking how much you got it for? 4 minutes ago, General Rasp said: Sweet you got the Hi-Metal Xabungle! What do you think? Lol, that a lot HLJ packages to come in. So I wasn't the only one waiting for Milia to be release and ran out of days with the PW? I will make sure to add mine to the thread when it comes in later this. I haven't messed with Xabungle yet but just taking it out the box and standing it there for a quick photo, it was impressive. The HMR line is amazing...the quality, thought and detail put into all the releases is excellent and I almost feel like the two non-Macross releases so far are the best in the line.

Seems everyone started their PW stashing around the same time lol. I'm waiting 'til the end of the month for the VE-1/VT-1 reissues, and then I'll (finally!!!) be able to get my hands on my my VF-31As. I'm grabbing a whole bunch of old Gundam HGUCs/Wing-era HGs to maybe do a little video retrospective with, too, but that's not gonna be part of my HLJ package. 2 hours ago, Sanity is Optional said: I was waiting for the Hi-resolution wing zero, I imagine Kajinrig was doing the same.

I used to have the first gen Revoltech figures from Eva's to Getter's. I stopped buying Revoltech after those non-transforming VF-1's. So I'm not familiar with their releases nowadays.

Slave IV Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The Amazing Yamaguchi line is the best line of comic style figures ever! So much thought and care is put into everything from sculpt, accessories, to even the packaging is done to the level where they are making the definitive version of each character they make. They still have Revo joints but done really well to give you the most poseable and best looking figure on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only gripe I have with those first gen figures is the PVC material. Esp in hot countries, it tends to give that gooey sticky feeling when playing with it.

The only gripe I have with those first gen figures is the PVC material. Esp in hot countries, it tends to give that gooey sticky feeling when playing with it. They feel good to me. I'm in SoCal and it gets hot here but I know it gets hotter and mainly more humid elsewhere so I don't know what they would be like there. I recently read up on sticky toys and found it can be caused by plasticizer evaporating and if your figure is sealed, it has nowhere to go so it coats the toy and gives it that feel. This particular line has only been out a short time so we'll all have to see the long term effects. All I know is I'm all in so far and it's the most satisfying line of toys I collect. Probably edges out even HMR and the other Macross lines by a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought all my Revoltech figures here actually from the Philippines and now they're somehow safe since the weather here is not as hot and humid back there. But so you know they're in great shape. There's no deformation or such. It's just that feeling when I used to play with it back there. Though now I'm planning on letting them go as a loose set via eBay. I just need to sort them out since I don't have any more space for everything. Hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 While I would gladly recommend Wolverine and Spider-Gwen I'm not willing to go as far as to say they're the best comic versions. They're pretty hyper deformed and not that accurate in many instances, even if they are cool and fun to pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some of the old Revo figures when they did the smaller scale and these new ones are significantly better in every way. To give an analogy, Bandai SHF and some of their other lines feel refined and precise and they do most things extremely well but conservatively, like a Mercedes. These Revo figures go all out with flair and style beyond what Bandai does but may feel a bit quirky in comparison, like a Ferarri. I appreciate both but one is a lot more fun.

Its really nice, amazingly detailed for its size, the fuselage is diecast and has a bunch of parts to display it in hanger storage configuration. I only have one gripe about it, the tolerances on the pins to plug into the wing hard points is slightly off so they don't fit nicely. this very apparent on the 3 missile accessory. 1 hour ago, brouken said: Have one incoming with Amiami.

What's the scale like roughly, Saburo? 1/100? 1/60? I know the Cosmo Zero is smaller in size compared to a Valk in the same scale. Anyway, can't wait to see more of your pics of the Cosmo Zero, especially with your Yamato Girls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Some quick pics of my Cosmo Zero. Going by the size of the pilot figures (which I wish were painted) I'd say it's a little smaller than 1/72 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brouken Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Thanks for the size comparison Lolicon! Looks beautiful! Can’t wait to get mine. A little disappointed that it was’t in scale with our 1/60 valks. I guess that’s the closest we’re going to get to a “DX” quality Cosmo Zero.

It's soo much better than the mazingers and the Getter 1. I took my Getter 1 out last night and it frustrates me to no end! Besides, display space is reserved for Macross.

This was taken before I got my new gear (aka the anime Mecha Upgrade). I don't use a monitor to preview as I shoot, its all eyeball. I do take a few shots with slightly different settings and select the one I like the best for processing. 1 hour ago, Sanity is Optional said: Small aperture and good illumination? You got it!
