  1. Except for the movie properties I'm becoming concerned how many of their One:12 figures appear to be getting One:10 heads.
  2. frakk yeah. MM and SF look bad-ass! Holding out on showing the larger bodied characters though, Jada.
  3. Yeah, that's my Orguss. I feel like I'm the only one who received it so far? I was handling the Orguss along side the Max VF-0S and the Orguss honestly feels like a different caliber of toy. Closer to a DX Chogokin quality in plastic, paint and details. HMR's were cool but never felt really great to me. It really stands out on the shelf.
  4. There's a swappable extension brace the backpack attaches to in various modes. You could probably 3d print one with a wraparound attachpoint for the booster and fit it as needed with a model part, etc. If I recall the booster is a bit undersized on the Orguss Valk anyway. A smaller scale VF-1 kit might work fine.
  5. It's pretty heavy. Bot and Plane modes are pretty solid. Tank and Gerwalk are fiddly/irritating though.
  6. After fidgeting more the robot mode is the clear winner. Tank and Gerwalk-like are really fidgety which is unfortunate because I like my planes with legs, fighter mode holds together real well though. Fans of larger/heavier toys will be happy with this one.
  7. It's more like 6.7" or 6.5". Bigger than a Marvel Legends, et al but not quite a MacFarlane.
  8. Just arrived. It's a big sucker. Only the Monster and officer's pod are bigger. Leans closer to a seven inch scaled figure. A little finicky to pose so far, though.
  9. If you look at the history of toys, and specifically action figures, basically there were no real figure properties outside of the long-running Barbie and a long dormant GI Joe until Star Wars released in 77. Once the licensing arms race combined with the removal of regulations preveneting Hasbro/Mattell/etc from producing half hour toy commercials kicked off we had all of these toys. Outside of a few seemingly evergreen properties (TMNT), some smaller or occassional upstarts like Fortnight and foreign markets (because Japans toy market has always been different) I can't see how figures will exist in the same capacity as they do now with the late 30's to late 40's crowd aging out. We basically started buying figures at age 8 and haven't stopped. But younger generations don't care, it's like a return to the 70's prior to Star Wars.
  10. USA Gundam has their Roy's marked down to $129.99 right now. https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/macross-zero-hi-metal-r-roy-fokkers-vf-0s-phoenix
  11. A case of engineers who don't understand what fore-shortening is? The firearm is large there because of its angle closer to the viewer versus the rest of the body.
  12. Swap out the head on that body and it's a perfect white queen. Steal the head sculpt and she makes a perfect Sue Storm.
  13. Looks like yes. The original Macross portion with Hikaru/Minmay appears to be DLC. They can sell the base game here and then if they feel lik3 sharing dlc profits with HG choose to do that or make the dlc Japan-only.
  14. Bandai have so many different lines these na.es can get co fusing if you're just starting out. Since I grabbed that Heat Boys Leonardo I wanted to compare it with something else. Looks like I should have got that Deathscythe (personal favorite) but wasn't sure what I was looking at.
  15. The armors and supers fit better on the new Hayate. Except for my old Super thigh part, that apparently wasn't glued, and then every single thing that could go wrong gluing something did. But it'll work if you aren't three stooges combined.
  16. I went ahead and ordered. I have a lot of love for that particular costume... would've preferred Rogue or something though.
  17. There's a second image... as if we don't k ow what the training costume looks like.
