I have mine through Kappa Hobby so I won't be getting mine until August either, but I doubt we'd see any fixes if they were even inclined to make any. I believe that time gap is mostly shipping by cargo ships across the ocean as it's far cheaper than by air. So unfortunately, what we'll be getting will likely be the batches already made and to be distributed throughout NA.

At the very least, the way they connected wouldn't have been so janky.

Battroid mode definitely needs the FP attached to the belly plates to make them look right. They're so short that even the gunpods are sticking out past them when attached... That said, I have to wait until August to get mine. I couldn't get any from overseas vendors. Dreading whether I'll find a broken head laser or not. I really hope Mr. K's desire to have another go at the YF-21 at Arcadia actually comes to fruition. It feels like Bandai didn't even put in half the effort they expended on the YF-19. They even went so far as to integrate the neck cover for fighter mode right into the shield so you wouldn't have extra parts laying around and making it actual perfect transformation and not having large divots in the back of the thighs that require extra parts to cover up. Then here with the 21, we have "auxiliary parts" unnecessarily and a number of questionable design and packaging choices.

By itself, the DX doesn't look too bad, but when placed next to the old Yamato, the Yamato's proportions in fighter mode still blows the DX away.
-
Wow, that's crazy they packaged it like that. A thin rigid plastic piece at the highest point in the package, protected by a flexible plastic bubble. Gee, who could have predicted that this could happen if anything should get placed on top of the box? Should have just kept the head laser detachable and separate in the package. Also, I still think those arms are too small and scrawny. While the Yamato version needed Omega Pants, Bandai's needs Omega... sleeves?

Got the last of my 10th Edition terminators today, the chaplain. They all look really good, especially with a bit of extra work done to them. Now I just need the apothecary and a bunch of 'nids.
-
Yeah, seriously. I hope they can rotate outwards.
-
Wait... so that clip is not something that is flip out and is actually a separate piece? wtf... I hope it's not actually necessary. As far as the YF-30 goes, that brace at least seemed to be optional. I never needed it for my YF-30.

General 1/18 Scale Figure and Toy Thread
MacrossJunkie replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Joytoy TMNT figures are up for pre-orders now on the JoyToy site but apparently they're only available exclusively for mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. So I guess if you want one, you'll need to get them off of 3rd party sellers.
-
I really wish they would fix the custodes figures. Both the regular ones and the allarus terminators. The regular ones look more like they are squats in proportions and the allarus also have legs that are far too short compared to the upper body. Until then, I'm not getting any more custodes. Also, it's annoying how they designed the apothecary. The canister is permanently attached to the figure via the cable, unless you cut it off or manage to break the glue. Glad that it seems to be as big as the primaris captain in gravis armor though. Not Voltian, but the newer one. Seems to me to be about the right height of what a primaris should be. The 3.0 primaris marines like the sternguard and recent rereleases like Lt Agaranthe, Castor, and Wolf pack are still barely over 7 feet tall if you multiply the height of the figures by 18. That's like the low end of firstborns and not what you'd expect of primaris.

Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!

I wish those guys came with helmets. Also, is it just me or does Russ look like Val Kilmer to anyone else? Madmartigan with blonde hair.

I thought the SV-262 transformation was okay for the most part as far as difficulty is concerned, but the parts I hated was getting the hands in while taking it back to fighter mode without breaking the dang thumbs. It was also really fiddly to align properly sometimes. On top of that, it was stressful trying to transform it with the tight tolerances giving little room to move certain pieces while trying to avoid scraping off paint. It's the stress and worry that made it not fun for me. I hope Bandai's 21 will not be so stressful that I have to worry about parts breaking or paint scraping off.
-
That's a pretty amazing rendition using Legos. You'd think Kawamori himself put that together while prototyping the design.
-
Armored Alto version when? I'm still missing that and would love for it to be reissued.
-
Okay, this is pretty awesome. Joytoy revealed Leviathan dreads for IF and SoH. At 1/18 scale, these are going to be pretty massive. The Redemptor dreads were done very well and had a lot of presence on the shelf and I expect these to be similar in that regard also.

Yeah. There's trying to get customers with money to burn and then there's this... $300 could get you something actually good like a DX VF-1 or something. Well, if there are suckers that are actually paying $380 for these things, good on Toynami for finding people to bilk. 😁
-
Holy crap! 😮 I was like what's this $300 item he's talking about? Then I realized you were talking about the above toy which I thought was only maybe $15-20 and I thought I was being generous with that estimation. What drugs were they taking and in what vast quantities?
-
Yeah, pretty positive they'll make him. Aside from Abaddon, they're kind of lacking in the named SoH characters at the moment. IF at least has Sigi and Faf.
-
Even so, given that there is an official mini for him, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility.
-
Indeed I have and I don't feel like I missed out on anything worthwhile. 😀
-
That's amazing! They must use some actual "robotechnology" in the making of this toy! 😁
-
LOL I didn't even notice the ejectable fists until you mentioned it. Where the heck did they pull that from? This isn't Mazinger! And this is an officially licensed toy?
-
That KX139 painted up like that does seem very similar to the VB-6 Konig Monster. Very nice!
-
More Sons of Horus stuff from Joytoy revealed during Toyfair and up for pre-order. Disappointed that they haven't done Garviel Loken yet. Hoping he's coming at some point. Another SoH praetor Tartaros pattern terminators
