Found it at some random online store, had no hope of getting it since I had it on PO at MHToyShop and they closed up shop, stole people's money, and didnt ship anything out. Hey Anubis. I'm curious on this line of figures. Does the shiny chrome finish somehow deminish over time? Just like some old 70's toy that all the chrome looking parts worn out and shows the actual plastic underneath. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats why it keeps its shine over time. Ive seen some over 5 years ago unpacked and looks pristine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really PACKED in there, I used EMS this time to save 1000 yen , but I'll probably go back to using FEDEX next time since they normally used a wider box, which is better for the items inside. big but narrow box, the corners, sigh... someone is very good at 3d tetris I got 2 air bubbles. take some out, and look, almost all the space is used The Macross stuff The Chogokin robot stuff, yes, that girl is a Alloy/chogokin and not a figma Gundams, , figma ,revoltech and lots of robots HLJ was able to provide EMS shipping on all these items for 10820. (that's actually a very good price for the weight and size) But some of the boxes corners like vf-1s box is not looking too good. I would've prefer they use a wider style box like what they normally do. This is more of a unboxing of the shipping box, huh? kinda? I saw you sneak in that PF VF-1S <~< You ain't slick son!

There's is some other boxes on the other side of the room that do have a PF VF-1s roy along with other things but it wasn't part of this big HLJ shipment. or are you saying the PF vf-1s wasn't from the HLJ box. and that it won't fit. HLJ made it fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The series is awesome and it was a big deal here in south america in tbe 90s before dragon ball came. The line its pretty big and most of time its sold out. You should watch it again then. Today i read netflix its doing a cgi remake of the first arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Picked up the lightbox that noel recommended. Works well, but I wish it was a little bigger. Some quick test shots with different backgrounds. Guess I'll have to swap backgrounds depending on the items being photographed. SMS Skull Squadron At least it's big enough for one battroid.

iguanaman8989 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 HLJ delivery today! DX Gigant Houoh and Figuarts Freyja!

Yeah, they look great but I don't need multiple versions of the same/similar characters and then multiple versions of those from different companies. I'm sticking with Mezco for the ones I really like and feel are important enough to have the premium Mezco version of. Plus, Revo is making incredible versions of a lot of Marvel Comic characters too. My marvel collection is already taking up way more space than I planned for. I hear you on the Mezco articulation in the ankle and some other parts too. I feel they could do a much better job, especially given the price they charge.

Tking22 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My monthly HLJ haul. I've been dying to get Figma Guyver 3 for quite a while now, like many others I missed out on the old Max Factory Guyver figures, so I was pleased to see the Figma Guyver line continue long enough to give us the fan favorite Unit 3. Not a Depp fan, or a Pirates movie fan really, but I thought Captain Jack looked like a nice Figuart, so I nabbed one, and he's pretty fun! I may have too many Figuarts at this point, since my last count, which was two hauls and many more Figuarts ago, I'm at 119 counting doubles... I might have a problem.

Lighting is one of the trickier parts of photography and can vastly improve a photo or make it worse. Its fun to experiment with different lighting setups so you can get much different effects.

The main problem is that the Banshee and Unicorn did not come with suitable adapters for a stand so its its kinda trick them to get them on the stand but it can be done.
