@Saburo do you by any chance have DX VF-1 handy to take a shot of them side by side? I want to put mine on my Hikaru shelf (which is DX's) and I'm trying to get an idea of if it will look too goofy.
Thanks!
Will any VF-1 do and in fighter mode?

Dug out the HMR VF-4A from my closest to take this quick shot with the Arcadia VF-4A.

I got a brand-new showcase to fill!
@tekering Very nice display case. Also is that the Hot Toys Ripley with Powerloader?
13 hours ago, Sanity is Optional said:The cycle of collecting:
- Get too many things to display
- Get more display space to display them
- Get more things so you can fill your display space
- Repeat 1-3 until out of space in house/condo/apartment
- Get new house/condo/apartment with more space
- GOTO 1
I am currently at 4, and creeping up to 5.

Wiping each figure with fiber cloth takes too much time. I use this...
@no3Ljm "When you need all the dust gone!" It can also be used Wind Tunnel testing for Valks.
A while back I looked at some small handheld electric duster/vacuum that are used to cleaning electronics/computers.

@Saburo I am "immune" to this attack.
as I already have both the TV roy and TV super parts. Phew, every time I saw your post, I am worry about my wallet.
Mine are still in the box, so thanks for the gorgeous photos. I really enjoy it.
@kkx that's good. There will be more opportunities to worry about your wallet. 
Glad you enjoy the photos, they will help keep you toys in Box Mode.

That's a miniature runway of some kind. 08 L indicates that the landing heading is 080 and that is the runway on the Left. I would assume that it's a model airplane strip, but then those reflectors could pose a serious landing hazard.
That is cool, thank you for the information. I learned something new today!

I was with my family and my oldest had a blast playing with the Valks and posing them for some of the shots.
Obviously no drones or RC allowed as it is right under the flight path.
That awesome to have something like that in your area. I commend you, I am not brave enough to bring my toys outside.
Your family shots are great too.

Not only are the poses cool and natural looking, the framing of the shots really show how beautiful these DX valks are.
Thank you @KFDzero, much appreciated.

@Saburo pics and posts FOR THE WIN! Always makes me want to admire my collection or look for new items to buy.
Willing to bet no one here has helped sell more toys than the Super Dimensional Enabler. I might even buy Matchbox cars if he posted pics of them
-b.
Thank you @Kanedas Bike for the kind words, but I am sorry for any damage that you or forum members wallet incurred.

I'll see what I can do or I might ask a friend to paint them for me.
If you look around in the VF-31 thread, I have some shots with the equipment in the photo.
4 hours ago, Lolicon said:Agreed. @Saburo's pics blow away pics taken by others on here.
Thank you! I appreciate it but there are other forum members whose photos I consider great; you (@Lolicon), @tekering, @MacrossJunkie and @enphily.

I’m pretty sure @spanner is going to like this for his phone wallpaper.
@no3Ljm haha maybe or its a photo of a motorcycle or car.

Haha, I had a similar situation with my brushes, my gf thought they were for her, then I had to explain I will use them to clean my toys.

Funny how that sale has perfect timing.

Damn @Saburo you're making me wish I had bought a second 31A.
...luckily I foresaw this eventuality years in advance and made sure to preorder two.
@Lolicon Haha sorry about that.
If there is a reissue I'll make sure to PO a couple of them.
1 hour ago, kkx said:Me too, my desire for a 31A is reignited. I think you raised the demand for 31A for quite a bit.
In some old HK forum they can this: "spreading the poison".
@kkx Sorry about that about "spreading the poison".
47 minutes ago, Chronocidal said:So, something a little weird is going on with the Delta 06 pic. I think the wing boosters have definitely been tweaked a little, since I don't remember those little fins poking out near the rear, but the overall design still looks almost identical.
The thing that I noticed most is that the boosters on that 06 pic are angled down, as if they have folded down halfway between the wingtips and the main wing. The existing booster mount on the 31 series can't do that, since the booster locks down to the base of the tail once folded over.
All that aside, I'm absolutely stoked for the idea that we'll be getting a bunch of 31A derivatives for the next movie, and possibly an excuse for Bandai to actually make more of the best version of the 31, on top of what looks like a new variant of the mission pack.
@Chronocidal, I also noticed the fins, there is also new sensors on the chest armor parts, like you I noticed the boosters in the trailer change their orientation in Gerwalk mode. In the Delta series the boosters would be shown in horizontal orientation, it the movie trailer in Gerwalk mode they rotated to a vertical orientation.
Bottom line... More toys!

haha got it.
for now I just want to remove the dust, and clean up the dirt/grease from the plastic that accumulates while handling/transforming the toy
@sqidd's Air compressor and @vladykinscompressed air cans suggestion works really well, I use a lens air duster but its not that strong. I bought some makeup brushes to clear dust off figures.
3 hours ago, Angesdad said:No dust resides in the hangar above no sir. That is a nice a shot! While you're at it @Saburo, you should invest in some maintenance crew & misc equipment and have them blurred out in your shots to give depth with main focus on your Valk
btw, I looked into the hangar set and man it ain't cheap!
I make sure to wipe down the hangar to minimize the amount of clean up during photo processing. I do have some maintenance crew & equipment but I haven't had a chance to paint the crew figures yet.
