  1. Past hour
  2. Anyway a HAVOC would be sweet and a Snow Cat should be a general release.
  3. There’s never a need to collect everything This ain’t Pokemon
  4. Reminds me of the posters for astronauts that were in every classroom back in the 80’s
  5. Today
  6. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sega-4-inch-Action-Figure-Altered-Beast-Dragon-with-22-Points-of-Articulation-and-Accessory-Piece/5857583498 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sega-4-inch-Tall-Action-Figure-Altered-Beast-as-Werewolf-with-22-Points-of-Articulation/2902440491 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sega-4-inch-Tall-Action-Figure-Streets-of-Rage-Rage-Roo-with-22-Points-of-Articulation/5743637716
  7. Good catch! Hope you enjoy it!
  8. I need Jada Toys to release full Street Fighter II diorama background boards.
  9. I might need to be selective with Haslab releases.
  10. Most stores are selling it for around 13000 to 15000 JPY but Mandarake had an unopened one listed for 8000 JPY so I ordered it.
  11. I think it would work if it has more of a drawn look than the usual cgi kinda look that a lot of newer stuff has. The story could use little tweaks here and there to trim the fluff and it will probably be fine.
  12. It would be nice if Bandai does an option set release for the three spears. I have all three MB EVAs already and would like be very happy to buy a option that has the spears. The Gaius spear is an odd choice though given it's size, shape, and weight. Even in the promo pics Unit 1 holds it awkwardly.
  13. The original was so firmly linked to the time it was made, hard to see a remake doing well. I hope I am wrong though.
  14. update on the Zenith mech from Front mission Evolved a test print...
  15. PF YF-19 for 35k. Be sure to read the item description before you buy. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/list?keyword=マクロス
  16. 😄 Yeah, there was a lot to be desired with that figure. The cringe was strong with that toy, and it only grew cringier with every new review. I suspect a lot of fans bought it out of desperation, just that desire to finally own a fully transforming toy of it. I won't lie; I had my eye on it initially, but right outta the gate, there were issues, inaccuracies, niggles that weren't resolved (kinda like Bandai's YF-21, but I bought it anyway- so much for will power 😜). I did pass on the Evolution Toy VF-2 though. It just didn't come close to matching the level of quality or design that we were used to from Yamato/Arcadia or even Bandai. Admittedly, as you said, it's a challenging design to accomplish in a functional toy. The team that designed the HMR earned their kudos for making everything work as it should mechanically (other than landing gear- SMH) which means there are a lot of moving parts on this little toy. Not only did they nail the functionality, though, but the aesthetics are largely uncompromised, AND they included the SAP, with its own functional bits, as an independent piece that can snap on to the plane unlike a lot of earlier toys and models. If I have one complaint, and it's minor, it's that the HMR fixed pose hands are always a bit too large for the figures generally dwarfing the retractable hands that also come with them. They're an unfortunate bit of necessary partsforming, like the gear, if you want to take full advantage of the figure. I wish there was a happy medium where the retractable hands were just a tiny bit bigger and capable of holding the weapons. It's but a small grievance, as I'm quite impressed with all three of my HMR valks and the levels of mechanical functionality they enjoy as compared to their larger more expensive counterparts. With my available display space all but gone, I welcome these smaller alternatives to the 1/60 scaled toys and hope Bandai will continue to develop other valkyrie designs in the line.
