Probably because they help fund his new Macross stuff.

As I recall the locking mechanism was highly particular. But when it's in place those damn things won't budge, even when you want to transform it. On the other hand, Yamato's pall jointed ankles are the biggest flaw with both the 17 and 19. I don't recall what the fix was.

The legs do lock into place in fighter... If Bandai were going to have a semi-partformer anything to start with the 21 would have been it. The legs already detach for limiter mode so it makes the absolute most sense to make use of that gimmick for a slimmer fighter profile.

Yamato missed that detail back in the day, too. Of course this is just a shrunk version of that but the gunpod did already exist in 1/60 as it does 1/100 now.

I cancelled mine. I'm just not that curious about the engineering to buy a 1/60 I don't like.

Took em right off...

They don't twist, those are separate shoulder parts. Believe me, if you twist those things hard enough they're snapping off.

Leader looks pretty damn good.

I'd like to get Executioner but I only want Phantom Rider. All of the newer figures are losing waist cuts and ab crunches. I'll bet Hasbro are going to start cutting things now that the HasBlow's trained them to release $50 figures.

I decided to try to crack off a pair of the Gerwalk shoulders. It's a little bit more than just a peg holding on there. One had very little glue and I was able to work it off then trim the nub with sprue clippers and polish down. The other was kind of a mess. There's a little bit of a dent.

Has anybody attempted to remove their speaker fins yet?

You realize they're doing none of that, right?

1.31 Regulatory Charges. 7.47 Duties (They marked the item as from Japan, not China, so it's only 15% and they valued the item at $24.90 each) 17 For Duty Tax Processing. Interesting note about the Duty Tax Processing. HLJ are overcharging for that. Based on the size/weight of the P versus a Mafex (and my previous shipment from them) they've also doubled the base DHL price. I did the math on the real price. Total if they did full price and marked from China should have been 91.30.

Well, BigInJapan ROYALLY undervalued that item. We'll see if DHL catches this.

The ankles are still a glaringly big one, as is the backpack scratching the canopy. Intake joint being so limited is a secondary problem that should be corrected as well.
