I see HLJ is once again using 30% as the duty rate. They are just dying to lose all their US customer business.

Wonder if this will drive up the prices of the Yamato Emerald series valks...sort of like when the DX YF-19 was out, the Yamato YF-21s were in the market for $500+ (obviously not any more!) https://anymoon.com/blog/?p=4769

ooof....it aint going anywhere until April for me. When you get shipping quotes please post a few! On a side vector, on the previous page there is a neat famous pic of the sdf-1 That cel is up for sale on YJ, and it is BEAT. Super sad to see it in this poor condition. https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/t1205668217

The set…

Mini-Review. It's largely a Yamcadia VF-19. It has several of the upgrade/gimmicks you'd expect from Bandai and it also has missing/worse features because Bandai can never just do something correct the first time. For instance, upgraded ankles have better range/articulation, but not as much as the YF-19. However, for some reason the joint at the intake doesn't have the same range of motion as the YF-19. It has the more limited range of the Yamcadia. So it poses slightly better in Gerwalk than the previous VF-19... but only slightly so, and the older Bandai YF-19 poses infinitely better. It's also a hell of a lot more finicky than the Yamcadia. The whole section behind the cockpit is a bitch to keep together. And the gunpod extension mechanic is a good idea executed poorly.

Waiting for my shipping quote. Not looking forward to it.

HLJ charged me just now, looking at my storage space I am in trouble.🤣

EMS (4-20) shipping to US with all fees is $185. F**k You DJT! No fees was $85.

Everything from line art and anime can vary rather widely. Here’s a few line art pics and they’re pretty different from each otherdefinitely bigger feet and usually shorter intakes, but I’ve seen contradictory line art showing longer intakes. The dual cannon is usually huge in battroid, but when shown straight up or in fighter, they end up shorter. Some images have shorter arm armor and others up to the shoulders. They probably would be longer for fighter mode transformation, but again the artwork is a bit all over the place. these were just a few quick images, but trust me, they’re pretty wildly all over the place
-
I mean even the head lasers are taller and basically everything else. The feet next to the Plamax do look diminutive but i never felt that the feet were an issue with Hasegawa before. Also, the arm armor goes very far up to like the shoulder, which i'm not sure follows the line art either. Either way, it look like it really dominates the arm on the Plamax.
-
I like the PLAMAX. I do. It's got that nostalgic anime feel. But I also notice some things I don't like. The jet intake/vent area looks really short and stubby. Doesn't look like how it would look in fighter mode. IMHO. The arm armor pieces go really high up, pretty much to the top of the shoulders. I don't think other versions look like that. And I don't think the lineart looks like that. Hasegawa's are shorter and I think I prefer that. The gigantic hands which just really don't look like they'd fit into the arms easily. Just some small nitpicks. I do like the bigger feet.
-
Interesting to see them side by side. I like the Plamax better as far as looks and pose, but I think the real win is when they put the Plamax armored Valkyrie next to the ugly hasegawa one. a lot of the height looks due to the tiny hasegawa feet. The dual cannons are also quite a bit shorter giving it an even shorter appearance
-
Wow! I didn't realize Hasegawa's smaller size was so great. They're not gonna mingle too well in diorama format without some forced perspective intended..

We may not get another Tron movie, but we're moving closer to the Lightcycle.

PLAMAX & Hasegawa

I love the Eagle but $540?! OW!

Without thinking I cancelled my order at Amazon Japan, though I think I had to pay up front. At any rate, it shipped via DHL and they credited me the difference in the lower price. However, I was not charged shipping nor was I charged for tariffs.

Nice!

Finally managed to get my hand on the ever elusive DYRL Concert Minmay (from wave 3) with the clear hair. I personally didn't think the clear hair variant existed since they moved away from them by wave 3, but I managed to get one after scouring Yahoo Japan, Mercari JP, and eBay for months. Since the hair is less translucent than the older ones, it's hard to tell in auction photos but this one looked translucent and it ended up being so. Some comparisons with the opaque hair.

Nothing from Nin-Nin yet. Gonna start biting my nails soon.

Yeah, definitely fun and didn’t exactly expect that until

It’s kinda like that for Indy and Star Wars and Willow and even the early Marvel films that aren’t nearly as old. Once the mouse 💩s on things, it’s kinda hard to go back and enjoy things from better times.
