  1. Horus price and release Video for Horus Video for Abaddon
  2. That's for sure. They pump out these things non-stop and it never seems to be 1 at a time. it's like "here's a whole bunch of things! Pre-order them now!" I never planned on getting much, mostly just the primarchs, but that was a mistake. The primarchs were just the gateway drug. Soon, I ended up buying a redemptor dreadnought, Morvenn Vahl, Kaldor Draigo, Voldus, Garran Crowe, Lazarus, a sister of battle just for scale, a techmarine, a Custodes shield captain, some aggressors, inceptors, and a couple other primaris captains... with Allarus terminators and a Deathwing terminator on the way. All within the past month... To make it worse, I can't help stop myself from weathering and touching up the paint jobs. Like the flat gold on Dorn and Roboute's armor just makes it look so toy-like despite them doing a great job on the Custodes or stuff like fixing Roboute's pale pasty face.
  3. Yeah, I know that the armors are the same and it's basically just a different paint job. I'm just saying that Joytoy hasn't really put out anything that GW hasn't officially put something out for themselves, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for Luna Wolves figures from Joytoy even though that would be nice if that happened. I like the Luna Wolves color scheme more than the Sons of Horus one.
  4. That would be great, but I don't think GW has ever came out with minis for the pre-Ullanor time and Joytoy only seems to make stuff that has been out officially as miniatures.
  5. As expected, Mr Heresy himself and Abaddon were announced. He's absolutely huge in primarch sized terminator armor and that face sculpt and paint work is probably one of their best yet. Not so impressed with Abaddon. I prefer his current 40k version.
  6. Got a re-issue from Amazon as well. I probably should have expected this given the track record of their releases since 2020, but the QC is kinda lacking compared to the VF-19 Adv and the original YF-19 full set release. Just to list a few things: The bottom panel of the gullet likes to keep popping out. The head "cap" fits extremely loosely on the head, with basically no friction, and turning the figure upside down in battroid mode is enough for it to fall right off. The head unit itself has a wobbly neck joint that won't stay extended. The back half of the canopy wiggles around very loosely On a positive note, the wings on the metal hinges are tighter than on the two 19 Advance and the YF-19 releases that I have. Those had very floppy loose wings and this one doesn't. So one thing was improved at least.
  7. Hard to tell from the photos. Could be my eyes playing tricks on me or the lighting, but the wings and the fuselage don't look the same white as say the lower thighs and knees or the missile pod attachment arm, for example. I'd say it's white enough still in any case.
  8. I'm surprised that Amazon.com hasn't had the YF-21 up for pre-order yet when all these other shops have already had them up for days now.
  9. I was all ready to do the preorder last night ...but the power to my house went out an hour before the preorders would start. What timing... ☹️
  10. I am wondering that as well. Practically everything I have has a clear coat on it except for most of the Delta valks. That's interesting that two of the same valks stored in the same way have entirely different results. Lends credibility to the theory about some batches of plastic being bad or something.
  11. Mine's been displayed in a display cabinet since practically the day I got it years ago and there's no yellowing on mine either. Even my 1/48 Yamato VF-1s are fine. I haven't had anything get discolored aside from the good ole Urkel pants v1 RVF-25 and VF-25G which, given the circumstances of how everything else is fine, I am attributing to bad batches of plastic used.
  12. It has been a while for me too. I don't think there was really anything for me to get this past year. Nothing new in the DX line aside from the VF-1s which I'm all tapped out on. Everything else has been re-issues, HMR, or other stuff. I guess they don't plan on finishing the Delta movie stuff. Arcadia hasn't released much of anything either, as far as I know. My wallet got a big breather thanks to that though. This will be the first new thing I'll be getting. As for the PO madness, at least I can be not so stressed, knowing that there will be a worldwide release in case I don't get a JP preorder.
  13. What the heck are the "Joint parts for Battroid"?
  14. I'm surprised they didn't include some sort of little swing over heatshield cover on the inside of the cockpit given that they like doing little gimmicks like that. Also, it's clear they were trying to duplicate this but they somehow really interpreted the canopy shape wrong and made it way rounded off. In the illustration, you can still see that the canopy should still end up having two points to match the frame. The Hasegawa model also has that highlighted detail, but the canopy shape is correct there. This annoys me that this got past everyone involved in designing this toy despite going to the lengths of looking at illustrations like the above...
  15. So far, it looks like the base plastic is blue and areas like the gray on the lower leg are painted, but with Bandai, I suppose you never know (*cough* Ozma VF-25 *cough*).
  16. That does look pretty hideous to me. I would strip it all off on the bottom except for the yellow stripe that goes around the engine nozzles. I'm not a fan of the yellow stripes and the 21 on the intake covers either. It's just too much.
  17. I think it's just the way it's posed and the angle of the shot. The upper arms still look super skinny to me, but the forearms look thicker here because you're getting a 3/4 view seeing the top and side at the same time. I think if I get this, fighter mode will be displayed without FAST packs and the battroid with FP since it hides the too-short bay doors.
  18. Yes, I believe so, with the feet issue corrected too.
  19. I hope they consider re-releasing the 171 NM+ but with fixes to the plastic so that the black triangles and joints don't explode. I have two, one that's intact (knock on wood) in battroid and the other in fighter which had a crumbly shoulder. I'm afraid to transform the one that was intact when I last left it because it's like Schrödinger's Valkyrie. It simultaneously exists in states of unbroken and broken until a transformation is attempted and it resolves itself to one of the two states.
  20. I don't get why they've done reissues on both SV-51s but something like the 0S has not had one (that I know of anyway) since the release of the premium finish version. I would love to get another one (premium or not) to put in the reactive armor.
  21. As far as my 11B and C go, in fighter mode, that pod never sat solidly locked in place. It was very fiddly and would wobble out of place if you accidentally touched it. In my opinion, it was a gimmick that was a slight detriment to the toy, just as the delimiter mode was for the Yamato YF-21. I'd be fine with the pod, if it could lock solidly into place in fighter though. But there's no point even debating it since it's not even a thing yet until Bandai says otherwise 😛 Speaking of detriments for the sake of gimmicks, I hope the attachment for the legs for Bandai's 21 isn't as flimsy as the T-bar attachment is for the 1/48 VF-1 or that the arms don't simply fall off while trying to pose it...
  22. Don't give them any cockamamie ideas! I could totally see them doing something like that. Would love to have a new VF-11B though. One with properly sized tail fins and better articulation. I could also do without the janky ejection pod.
  23. I never liked the YF-21's FAST packs anyway, so I would keep them off. However, I wish they would have made this area (in green) more flush. I dislike that it sticks down like that and that there's even a gap above it.
  24. I didn't know that was a thing. Do they leave white lint on what you handle or are they lintless?
  25. Yeah, by the time I asked if there were any left, there weren't any. I was too late to the party =(
