I'm going to finally get to play with..errr..study my Glaug tonight. At first glance, some of the red plastic does look kinda cheap, perhaps a slightly darker red would have been a better choice. So the model guy in me is thinking "ohh man, I can't wait to panel line and weather this thing up so it looks awesome!", while the other part of me just wants to play with the darn thing and have fun...been waiting for this toy since 1985! No way to get more than one of these..display space has reached CRITICAL MASS at my place, so I guess I'm gonna have to make a choice... :wacko:

mine is still at hlj warehouse but i'm going to ship it soon. other than the red canopy, everything else looks amazing.

One thing I can say for sure is HMR looks good together and in numbers.

As for the glaug, it's awesome. But.... After a quick check, light can't pass through eye sensor from the inside like the regults. Small bummer but just one Easter egg less. Hope u guys are enjoying yours too

anybody having a bitch of a time getting the little red antenna to peg in??? I CAN'T get mine to go in!!!

^ yes

The peg-and-post pair has a very slight D-shape to it, so it only fit in at its one very specific angle.

I had trouble doing it until I lifted the canopy and braced it with the fingertips of one hand on the inside surface while pushing the antenna in with the other.

that must be why it magically went in while i was playing around with it

It was a resin figure included with one of the small scale Zentradi Capital Ship models from back in the day. I think it came with Kamjin's ship.

Why do you keep calling it a window? Looks fine and anime accurate to me. Could use a little panel lining I suppose.

It's more like a heat shield, I'm sure I've seen many scratches in many early color art illustration by Yoshiyuki Takani.

yeah, i see the eye in front so definitely know it's like armor, it just looks out of place. maybe after someone panel lines it, it'll look decent.

Bbrain, Great collection.

Saburo's pics always look better than the real thing! Amazing photography.

Derex, nice paint job on that Kamjin. I wish i had those skills and not five thumbs.
