How does the Metal Composite line compare to the MB? I would say the RX-78 and the Wing Zero Custom are comparable in quality. Sadly the RX-78 doesn‘t come with a stand arm. from what I gathered from reviews of the Unicorn ones, they seem to be of a lesser quality than the Metal Build releases.

I'm really happy with the SOC. Don't have a copy, however I might be interested in getting one though.. I've watched a YouTube review on the GX-75 and there has been reports of the Fire Blaster breakage out of the box (I believe it's an isolated issue?) I had the original Mazinger toy when I was younger (Shogun Warriors) and ended up trashing it years later. Pic from Stinny's Toys History (I had the one in the right). Funny thing is that the toys that we grew up with during our younger years has come back to rekindle our interest.

F360 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 received a little surprise today. I though it was my VF-31 Super parts, but apparently they are still in customs. It was shipped out around the same time so I didn't even notice. I thought I didn't make it for the 1st batch, but looks like the Store gave me a bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizuka the Cat Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Because the display stands that come with the Toynami 1/100 valkyries are kind of crap and unstable, I decided to replace them with Tamashii Act 5 display stands.

Just the talk of "V" reminded me of the first episode of "V" the final Battle on which it was aired on the T.V. back in '84. Watched the first hour of the first T.V. series only not the rest. Might watch the entire series plus movie sometime (got to find the links and I don't have Netflix account if it's on there). I'm sure that you can do a kit bash of an updated version of this.. I'm not an 1/6th expert (just a noobie) by any means as the outer head sculpt might have to be a silicone based to make as per the box art. For the actual Lizard-like head, maybe a spare Marvel Legends Lizard will do and a commission on the full suit. As for the body, maybe a COO model will do?

Question for you and other owners of 1/48 GBP please. I am having problems with the leg armor on the right foot of the valk, in that there is a slight gap to one side and it doesn't seem to snap together snugly. I wonder if it's something that's off in my 1/48 VF-1S that's causing this, but I don't have another 1/48 to test it on. Has anyone had similar problems in the past? Thanks.

I got Noir when he was releases and still love him. Maketoys did an excellent job with this mold and still need to get Striker Manus. Rioter is great also, I would recommend him, but the he is gappy about the chest. That is the only issue I have with Rioter. Looking forward to the Galvatron they just teased.

How does the Metal Composite line compare to the MB? Lol, yeah those Metal Builds are addictive. I can't wait for the Crossbone Gundams to up for pre-order. The Metal Composite is good with the most recent release, Wing Zero, being the best. I have the Banshee with the Wing Zero in route to me. With Banshee the plastic quality seems more delicate and fragile than the Metal Build. Not "you look at it wrong and it breaks" but a little thinner and very glossy. But the Banshee does transform so I am guessing that is the reason. One of the main differences I have seen are the amount of decals. The Metal Composites are always done up like a Katoki Master Grade, tiny tampo decals all over the figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
