  9. Man. I really hope this means we may get an Excalibur ‘19 or even other Macross 7 toys. I’d kill for a SOC VF-11.
  10. Just figure/shape looks really good on all of those!
  11. Thanks! Yeah, it's a good looking box. Also need I find the super parts for the S now. 😅

    1/55's revisited

    No, I don't think it's a nock-off! I think sadly someone was lazy and put a Bandai VF-1S in a real Takatoku VF-1J box! Sad since the box is somewhat of a good shape! Maybe someday you can find the Maximilian Jenius VF-1J and put it back in this box!
  13. I figured it was the wrong box but wasn't sure if there was a knock off with a Hikaru S in a Max J box.

    1/55's revisited

    Well since the box says VF-1J and it's clearly a VF-1S, I would say it was packaged incorrectly!? and also Takatoku never produced D.Y.R.L VF-1's!
  15. I won this 1/55 VF-1S Hikaru. Anyone know if it's a matter of being in the wrong box or is it some other release or knockoff that came in a Max VF-1J box?
  16. Masters of the Universe - Evil-Lyn New Eternia Masterverse 7" Scale Action Figures x 2
  17. Is that a new can of spam or kept from years ago? lol Bit of regret didn't get the PF YF-19..
  18. Nice thing about the ceramic blade is that it has either 4 or 5 flat sides depending if it has a curve. Sort of like an ink knife or mud knife for drywall. Make sense? It can’t cut your skin but at the correct angle it shaves off plastic with ease and never gets dull. I guess it can be a bit fragile and break if dropped?
  19. That's how I remember them to be, so it's why I asked. I went to the IPMS national convention in Phoenix, AZ in 2010 and the showroom was row after row of models built exactly as they are supposed to be built. Not so much inspiration or originality. The SF section was just along one table and that was it. The IPMS club I attended once was mostly just grumpy old geezers who couldn't appreciate anything SF. I'm glad to hear that it's changed, but the contest judging remains obstinate from what I hear. My friend in Canada built a Bandai A-Wing to look just like the Ralph McQuarrie concept art. It looked beautiful with the blue and white scheme, and displayed it for the IPMS event there in Calgary or wherever it was. He was demerited because it "wasn't weathered enough." Well, tell that to Ralph McQuarrie. I'm sure that the judges know Star Wars, but beyond that they probably didn't even know what they were looking at. Anyhow, my Rei and Asuka are done. I have them both placed on a wooden plaque. I'm thinking that I might paint the plaque and print out an Evangelion or Nerv logo decal (although I honestly don't really care for the show). Yesterday it was 34 degrees C (I think that would be 91F) and last night I saw that Asuka was leaning forward. Drat! It's because of the way their feet are made, in segments. If they were just one piece, I could fill them with plaster better. As it is, sofubi tends to bend when warm. I removed the 2mm copper rod and I will replace it with a much longer one to give her leg more support. Also, the two girls have those life support backpacks or whatever they are. On Rei, I put some superglue in the wrong place and it turned out messy. It's that semigloss black section on her back. I wetsanded most of it off and now it doesn't look so bad. I'm not sure if I should risk trying to remove more or not.
