    True. Though the HT fig's head sculpt looks fantastic. If only they'd give an alternate head with more expression, giving her a more dynamic pose would solve the problem.

    I'm all for ride armors, although 1/6 scale is WAY too large and expensive for me. Be easier on my wallet if they were the size of Playart figs.

    Made more awesome by playing the Airwolf theme while you work.

    So those are the legendary chromed shovels pile drivers. It'd be nice to have them included, but as with the black pile drivers that were included, they just don't serve much of a purpose on display. Unless one were to make a cool diorama of him digging a tunnel through solid rock, which is kind of above my current modeling skills.

    Yeah, the QC sucks considering the high-end nature of these Masterpiece toys. My MP-10 has the same sloppy paint job as well, and you can imagine how pissed off I was, since MP-10 was easily three times the price of MP-12. I kept hearing rumors that those chrome things were no longer Amazon exclusives, but mine didn't come with them. Not a problem, as they don't really add to the display value of the toy itself.

    Too rich for my blood, and too large for the limited space in my display room. It would also require a pretty large display case, as leaving something like this out in the open is a bad idea. Cleaning the dust from the hair and clothes would be a nightmare.

    "Steampunk Screamer" is awesome! Too bad my hobby store doesn't want to bring it in, and I can't risk importing it due to those damn recent toy safety regulations.

    Figma, yes; most definitely. They're the perfect size for anime characters and the details and accessories are VERY thorough. Playarts? Not so much. I just don't like the rubbery feel of the figures, and they can't stand up by themselves worth a damn. Ironically, there are no stands included with them, when the more posable and sturdy Figma's actually have them included. You're right; nice sculpt, but seriously lacking in features. If it were HT, that knife would be removable from its sheath and the handgun and assault rifle would have separable magazines and a working slide (for the handgun). HT would also include various nick-knacks like a cellphone, "cyborg taiyaki and sandwiches in a box" , and of course, spare magazines. TBH, I also prefer RE 4's version of Ada; from her sexy red dress to the shorter hair. The reason I'm not getting her is that it would look weird having RE 6 Leon with RE 4 Ada. I bought RE5 Battle Suit Jill on a whim, and she just looks funny displayed all by her lonesome without Chris and Sheva. Then again, I might just skip Ada altogether and pair Leon with Helena instead. Or, if funds allow and the releases are far apart enough, I'll get all three. Leon get to be a playah with two hot chicks flanking him. As for Sherry, the sailor uniform seriously reminds me of Baby Doll from Sucker Punch. Which reminds me; yet another figure I regret not buying.

    One more thing to be careful about; someone posted in Seibertron saying that the one he got had parts in the torso that were assembled the other way around, making it impossible to properly transform. Of course, that's most likely an isolated case.
  10. GU-11
    Do you already have an HT Leon fig, or do you plan to get the inevitable RE 6 Leon. 'Cuz, you know, Ada just isn't complete without her boy toy. Depending on when HT plans to release the RE 6 figures (because I might either have some cash to spare or be tied up with some other pre-ordered item), I'll just get that version of Leon and Ada.

    Just picked up MP-12 Lambor/Sideswipe, and I'm at the same time awed and disappointed. The toy itself was awesome; accurate Countach mode and about as accurate of a Sideswipe bot mode as you can get for a transforming toy. QC was pretty bad, though. Overall paintjob was sloppy. I found a red paint chip inside the left headlight of the car mode, and some of the red paint on the sides of the car mode were just a mist coat, with the black plastic underneath visible. Some silver paint was scratched off of the left shin of the bot mode as well. Almost identical problems with my MP-10. I'll have to bring it back to the hobby store for a replacement.

    @Jefuemon: That's an awesome build, and I'm sure it'll look great on any display shelf or desktop. Wish I had the spare cash to take you up on your offer. @sidewinder: The papercraft Valks look really cool.

    Nice Ada fig, but I'm worried aboutthe durability of the rubber skin over the knees and elbows. In any case, not interested since I missed out on RE 4 Leon when it was released.

    MP Sideswipe coming to my hobby store this Sunday. He'll look pretty cool on my MP/Generations/RTS neo-G1 collection glass display.

    Considering the "moe" nature of recent anime releases, Max Factory's Figma line is more appropriate for the figs. I doubt Puella Magica figs would work well in super-detailed 1/6 form. That said, I'd kill for HT to release GitS figures from the Mamoru Oshii film. A pity that Medicom and Bandai stopped after releasing the Akira Kaneda and his bike. A Motoko Kusanagi fig would make a great second project for them.

    Okay, I did a bit of googling and lurking at the sideshowscollectors site, and someone said it's more a case of a split shipment, where certain places will be getting their stock early, while a second shipment will be coming in in December. HT gave no reasons for the split shipment. I guess HT just wanted to take things slow, so as to avoid QC problems due to rushing at the factories.
  17. GU-11
    I read it from here. Other Asian 1/6 collector's sites have also reported the same thing.

    Aw, fcuk this, man! I just got news that HT's cutting it's orders for TDKR DX12 Batman, Catwoman and Iron Man Mark I, among other things by 15%, supposedly to reign in QC issues and prevent the lowering of secondary market prices. I just hope the store I ordered from has enough DX12's for me to get my hands on one. Can't believe this sh!t. And I thought Bandai was bad at supplying stock. For all I know, fcuking HT probably learned this from Bandai.

    Just stumbled onto an anime called No. 6. Is it any good? The animenewsnetwork review mentioned "light shonen ai elements," something I'm not too fond of. Anyone watched this before?
  20. GU-11
    Something I've always wanted to ask. Is the Jehuty supposed to be matte as shown in the games, or gloss like on the model kits and Revoltech figs?
  21. GU-11
    Still not liking the Iron Patriot, but the plot sounds promising.
  22. GU-11
    Silly, but not too bad for a popcorn flick. What next, I wonder? Rumplestiltskin: Insurance Salesman?
  23. GU-11
    I'm liking the direction of this new season. The prisoners are probably more dangerous than the zombies.
  24. GU-11
    The Minmay Guard theme never gets old. Awesome work, Funaka. Getting it signed by Nakajima-san herself is the icing on the cake!

    Typical Bay.
