  1. Going back to the original question...

    My love for aquarion lasted about an hour. I opened it, saw it and sold it...

    In general, I only keep the toys I really like...

    SOC Mazinger (gx-01r), Tetsujin28 (did I spell it right?), Maginger girls, Takara MP convoy, etc. Macross (bandai reissues)

    Even if my feelings go away, if I see them or play with them, suddenly my love(?) for them comes back...

    I've been also collecting some Saint seiya figures. Not sure how I feel about them though. My feeling is that I would slowly drift away from them soon and only keep 2 or 3 figures...

    I think regardless of the price I simply have to like the toy...

  2. did anyone try to put Sagittarius' clothe on the final figure?  It doesn't fit right... I think the shoulder area is too tight and I can't rotate the shoulder (or it takes great effort to do so)

    The new saiya comes with Sagittarius head peice, but it is not all that useful..

    On the contrary.....the Sagittarius head piece is very useful

    As you expected,....you can put the Sagittarius cloth on Final Seiya

    At first it didn't make sense that Bandai would add the piece without a full purpose,...if you tried adding the new head to the old Seiya you would notice that it doesn't fit at all,....so I decided to "force" the shoulder piece together on the Final Seiya,..and tada~~ So with a little love and lots of pressure I'm sure you will be able to do it too,.....so no worries....go for it cuz the Final Seiya with the Sagittarius cloth looks so much more beautiful than the original. He looks much taller and is shaped much better,......I'll be sure to post some pics for you,....still waiting on Cancer (ughh) and Aries (oooh) so i can take a nice group shot of everyone released so far!

    Cheers

    No, I think it looks beautify too. I've tried (forced) it. It is just the fact that it needs to be forced that bothers me (plus shoulder issue as well). It feels like the figure has to be ditorted a little to wear the cloth... And for me it's not worth it... unless I have 4 or 5 seiya figues.

  3. Not sure if you mean the characters or the mecha. 

    They both blow, though.  :rolleyes:

    I disagree. I think the characters are pretty good. I wish that they had released the Minmay in the Chinese dress, but it never happened. I only own the Lisa and Rick (those names are easier to type - ha), but they are probably the best "3D" Macross figures available to date.

    Wouldn't mind if more figures (be they large scale or small scale) were made, though.

    I haven't really seen a 15th anni valk out of the package, so I can't comment on that.

    Hey wait, Renato - did you mean the little figures that came with the 15th anni valks? I was referring to the 1/6 scale ARII 15th anni character figures.

    Aren't the CM's figures the best ???. at least I thought so... unless you don't count them as figures since they are trading kits...

  4. Hey Andy,

    No, I wasn't trying to imply that sellers at HK are trying to do that. I just meant that shipping over seas is costly (which makes price even higher). so that is why I was looking for opened ones in the States. I hope no HK sellers are offended :)

  5. I wasn't able to find any in $50 range. (I would have bought it...).

    Most of them are in high $60 and are from HK (shipping is another $20...

    that makes over $80 (mid $70, if lucky)...

    so...

    I have joined robot-jp recently. maybe I'll post a message...

    Thanks for your info anyways.

  6. I just sent you a PM.

    I don't have the gx-01r, only the gx-01a & b.

    Sent you pics, please let me know if you are interested.

    Thanks!

    Fansubs2000,

    Sorry, I am interested in gx-01r.

    thanks for your reply, nonetheless.

  7. DROOL~~~

    hey...

    this figure has a new mold...

    hmm... I am sure it is an improved version, but it looks little funny...

    Hey Q

    Yes it does look like a new mold.

    When you say it looks funny are you referring to the sculpt of Seiya's face?

    Cuz I think they molded it to look like the Overture animated Seiya if you notice the larger eyebrow

    So far I can't wait to get this one. The first Seiya face looks nothing like tha anime nor the manga. The closest looking Seiya face (the old anime) would be the one that comes with Saggitarius however the head is a little too small for the body when compared to Aioria.

    This new Seiya looks the best overall in my opinion. Just my 2cents though. The only question or doubt that I have with this prototype is the fact that there are no seams or slots to remove the front portion of his hair to place his tiara (notice the head shot pic)

    hhhhmmmm????? :huh:

    Haru

    No, I didn't mean his face.

    His face looks nice. I meant the body sculpt. his new abs and upper thigh...they look funny in that they are just ball shaped joints. That is all. It looks like one of those artistic wooden sculptures for drawing (you know one with no face you pose and draw...).

    I am not sure if I like it or not, though.

  8. Hi, I have a follow up question.

    IN gx-01 (well I actually have gx-02b),

    1. Knee joints can swivel aroung 360 degree and it is somewhat loose (unlike tetsujin)

    2. and hip joints are pretty loose i.e. if I pick up the toy by its torse and hold it parallel to the ground, the leg falls (unlike tetsujin--I love tetsujin!).

    Is it like that in gx-01r as well?
