That spring loaded tab is there specifically to keep the front and back halves together in Battroid mode. When pressing it down to disengage from Battroid to fighter it is always best to hold the back plate so you don’t force the metal shoulder hinges to warp and eventually break the plastic clips that keep them in place. Plus it keeps the Battroid tighter. If you often mis-operate these parts the front and back halves will get very loose and sloppy over time. And when you pose an arm with the GU-11 pointing forward the two halves will often split and the arm droops down.
And as an FYI, a similar clip system is used in the 1/100 Takatoku figures, but the clip is attached to the nosecone underside and has no spring tension.
Hope this helps.

Looks like we got a new update.

All else is cool, but the city…😘

It appears someone is trying to sell ultra crappy recasted soldiers and claiming these were official to some capacity.
Just putting this out there.

I don't ever remember seeing the packaging for that one, actually looks like they spent some time on it.
Space Castle...super endless transformations, neat
What is Space Castle #1? Then the obvious, is there #3 and more?There are four versions of this mold. The other two are a MekaNek and Voltron head. But there are two other color variants of the #2 as well.
when it comes to Castle series, the first is not like the second.

@Papa Rat is there a display shelf where you are housing all these finished builds? Would love to see pictures of the completed kits altogether.

So many possibilities have been lost to vaporwaresville.

In related news to the 1/55 1990 VF-1S, I present this…whatever it is.🫠
Enjoy.

So sad that these figures will never be released.

Oh i didnt know this topic existed. Mines kind of obvious.. its me in approximately 1985 or 1986. With my first real Valkyrie. under the Christmas Tree. I was lucky enough to live in California on Edwards AFB near Palmdale, and there was a little Grocery store called 'Fuji Oriental Market' that also sold .. valkyries? So yea. My parents were awesome.
The 'Robo-Strux' behind me was an american rebranding of ZOIDS as well. I cannot tell from the pic but it was either the Pterodactyl or the godzilla one. I got both that year. Of course. The Valkyrie was the star of the show and i still have it.
Cool backstory.
What does your handle mean?

I think it has a very useful function here.
In certain circumstances there is no need to comment about a collection picture or pose shared. A like will suffice. Commenting in those pictures gives us that monotony of people quoting and reinstating the same picture over and over to no unforeseen end. A like just keeps the image in place. Let’s provider know someone has acknowledged it and lets the forum move on with new content.
It works well with certain comments. If you agree with a persons perspective and just want to give nod, like works just fine.
To me a like is similar to giving a person a wink or nod of approval. Plus it’s a lot easier to use than having to type “:” & “)” to get an approval emoji. Or having to hunt it down on the forum menu.
It’s a simple and effective way to communicate.

Interesting and all, but are they even making Macross Valkyries again?
If not, then meh.
Not really sure at this point. But as we all know strangest of occurrences happen when we least expect them.

Added a link with more content and pics in the first post. My previous blurry pics, while still here, were from a YT video. Apologies.

https://www.toyark.com/2026/02/14/toy-fair-2026-diamond-select-brands-booth-582212
Ad Populum brought the “Diamond Select” name out of retirement, and seemingly merged all of their “Diamond” booths under that name.There are various companies on display here, similar to how Diamond Comics/Previews would set up. Companies like Hiya, Medicom, Boss fight Studio, Blitzway and Beast Kingdom are shown here. The vast majority was stuff that’s already been seen numerous times.
However, Takatoku Toys showcased some interesting new stuff. Including their own Ghost Face and Mazinger Z figures. You can see the entire booth below.
Companies Featured:
Beast Kingdom
Boss Fight Studio
Blitzway
Good Smile Company
Hiya Toys
Kotobukiya
Medicom
Joy Toy
Star Ace

For starters, range of motion has been improved significantly. But there is definitely a lot more behind this.
-
Not ready for a debut. There are still more items to be addressed before painting. This is only a render to see where markings lie and where adjustments need to be made.
As far as a comparison goes, I appreciate the offer of Jenius doing so, but would rather outline these myself as there is so much to call out.
-
What if there was an actual 1/55 v2.0 produced today?
-
More renders. But you get the idea.
-
Checking the balance of the stripes against this 1/55 v2.0.
Looking at it up close and from afar helps give me a better visual of the subject.

If Bandai is going to pull one more of this dumb moves at less they should throw in a grey goggle head like yamato did back then.
They already did this with the GBP-1J Bundle set.

She’s a complete boss on the battlefield but couldn’t stomach the idea of weathering her.
That she is.
Clean finish looks good in her.
Great choice.
