Beware of Blast

For guys only since both specimens from the tests are females - This can be a good test to find out whether you're the type who is only interested a woman's facial beauty or only her lady lumps, or both... for the dudes who are discerning enough to see both rotations in a single footage. If you look from the Dancer's feet up, you're a T&A lover. If you look at her face before gazing downwards, you're more interested in her looks. Now if you're gonna tell me that you're always looking for inner beauty, you're wasting your time with this test.

On the Dancer, looking directly at her, she appears to go anti-clockwise. But you look at her from her head she's going clockwise. The trick is to point your index finger outward and rotate anti-clockwise. Now without stopping the rotation, turn your index finger back at yourself - now your finger appears to rotate clockwise. It's looking at the same movement but from different angles and you get a different result.

For me, it's clockwise if you look from her feet. When you look from her head, it's anti-clockwise. Trick of angles?

Nah, you'll live with the chances. If you can accept sh!t for quality from Yamato, you'll live with Medicom's durability. I'm getting the SS GoKu.

If it's any consolation... the breakages at the points of articulation do happen but the Medicoms aren't exactly a certain transforming toy where I get so much doubt about it's first releases. With careful handling, most of my Medicom collection are still intact today - I have 8 pieces. At least one thing better about Medicom over Yamato for me at least, it's that the headsculpts, the 1/6 clothing & the attention to detail is consistent most of the time.

On that comment alone, I agree with you completely. The transformation designs that Bandai and Takara use makes Yamato's transforming toys feel piss poor infantile and antiquated. However, on looks alone, Kawamori's Macross valks' fighter, gerwalk & battroid (from Yamato especially) beat his own efforts for MP03 Starscream and the THS-02 Convoy hands down.

Yeah, this one's worth the movie ticket. You also get to catch ol' Stan get mistaken for a sithlord in a pyjama. RDJ was ssssmoking! The only minor gripe was that so little happened in that movie - compared to the first spidey movie at least.

Medicom is the Yamato of the 1/6 figure makers. Their figures offer the best poses compared to other 1/6 figure companies... but like Yamato, they choose to become retards when it comes to using sturdy materials where they matter most.

Ironman was way better than what I expected - I'm glad that it went the way of Spider-man and X-men instead of Ghostrider.

So beautiful! Congratz to those receive them.

I can see why. He didn't really do a satisfactory design job with the MP03 and the THS-02 Prime.

I'd wager that he's talking more about Graham junior, not the '21. In fact, every Yamato VF collector's junior is like that... until they notice the hiccups on the actual product. Graham reacted the same way with his 1/60 YF19 sample just before it came out in the market - it didn't turn out to be a mutual feeling with everyone.

But of course, like everything else I'm sure it will look better in person.

I disagree. Kawamori forgot to ask for better plastic everytime! And Graham, we all know that the people at Yamato are hopelessly S L O W (nearly a decade of subpar products tell us that), please tell Yamato not to blame Kawamori for the changes he wants.

I believe this is the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/Yamato-VF-1S-Weatherin...1QQcmdZViewItem $760 for a valk that looked more like it got beaten black & blue than it's convincingly weathered, I hope there is another crushed VF1S head in that box somewhere. If not, the new owner can remove it from the valk and stomp on it with his foot.

Here's something to keep you busy till your weathered focker arrives.

That's what Yamato wants you to believe. The real question is... are you a sheep or can you make your own decision without being told what to do?

Pushl sideways out until you hear or feel a click, then pull down.

Adhesive mylar eh? Thanks.

All must go. The new won't come if the old doesn't go compltely. There oughta be dedicated queue at the slaughter house specially made for the Yamato bosses and employees.

The 1D is still randiest valk of them all.

Gah, the chestplate on the YF19 looks like circumcision gone bad.

Nah, everyone's wallet is taking a beating. We're still here. You musta gotten some intense spouse aggro on top of that.

I'm super curious myself. I have some chromium rainbow foil stickers but they're not quite your color though.

For the love of God, anyone but Kelly Hu. She has the bods but not the suitable face for Mokoto - her slit eyes are off and her chin gives out HUGE radar signature! Mokoto should be stealthy but Kelly Hu's chin is not. They should try someone like Fann Wong, then paste her face over Kelly's body.
