Completely underwhelmed by this "new" mold.....easy pass....

Have there been pictures of the actual mold? If so, I missed it.

Mini Joe vehicles? That's awesome!

DX9 Hanzo came in. Sixshot was always a childhood favorite. Nostalgia bomb.

I have seen a few reviews were people complain about the wolf mode. I think it is easily the best Sixshot wolf mode out there. The back legs are amazing.

Anubis, I would very carefully search the box, packaging, and area where you opened the P for that piece. I have had it before where I felt like I was missing something on a brand new figure, but than months/years later find the piece in the box. Happened about a month ago with a tiny screw cover on my VF-11B.

Good Smile. Zero issues so far. I think it originally retailed for $250ish. I paid half that and feel good about it.

Nice gets, everyone. I just got this guy in. Picked him up as an Amazon lightning deal.

I was going to share images of my little Macross display but I can't even remotely compete with that lol

You are on the right forum. Post away!

Awesome! Glad the modified ones worked on your shelves.

Printed on neoprene backed nylon fabric. Mouse pad.

Printed mouse pad just came in.

So I put together my new display case yesterday. I measured the thickness of the glass shelves and my digital calipers read 5.71mm, so about 6mm. Is that still doable?

I can do that. If you are ready, go through the process of ordering what you want on www.yetistand.com. Than just leave a note in your order about changing the detlof mount to fit the 5.71mm shelf. Do you want me to do 5.85mm, or 6mm just to be safe and not too snug?

I don't know. Looks pretty hot to me. The more I mess with my 31, the higher on the list of favorite valk it goes. Edging out the 25, for sure.

That really pops!

Totally do-able. I am pretty bummed that Glowforge didn't work out. The whole point of offering laser etching was to be able to do it on the fly per customers requests. Delta seems like a no brainer etching to go with. Maybe I will put a GI in the for sale thread and see how many people would buy a batch. Pre-pay, and I will ship when they come in from vendor.

Let me know what sizes.

They are snug, but not overly tight. I can make some of them altered to 1/4" on the nose, if you want.

Do you really? The CG images of the battroid mode show the ankles extended and visible.

I go high waters. No shame.

Just as an update, I have everything back in stock except the Alpha stands. I am still looking for an alternative vendor to cut the 9mm acrylic, and it is proving less common than I thought.

Never got a hold of an F, but 19's ftw.

It was sitting there undisturbed for a couple of months. I came home earlier today and saw that my VF-19 was pointing upwards and saw the break. Must have happened while I was out.

Sound booster does add a lot of weight to the VF-19 backside so I was probably pushing my luck with it.

That sucks. I will alter the adapter to help support the weight.

It would, but that is an odd break. Did it break over time, or was that your first time using it?

Transformed my VF-11b from a year long stint in fighter mode. The thigh swivels were very loose. Looser than I recall. So loose, in fact, that it could not stand in gerwalk on my desk.

The fix ended up being simpler than I would have thought.

There is only one screw on each leg that needs to be removed in order to access the hip swivel.

The 2 halves of the thigh come off after removing the one screw. There are some plastic pegs for alignment, but they were not glued on mine. YMMV. There is also a small ratchet component, and a metal pin to keep track of.

The mushroom peg has a black cap made out of soft plastic. To tighten the swivel, I packed the cap with a small square of cut paper towel. All told, while jamming it into the cap, it is probably folded onto itself making it 2 layers of paper towel.

Same procedure on both sides, and now my VF-11b can hold a pose without drooping to the ground.

Hopefully this helps at least one other person. Happy New Year!

Hi guys, does anyone know how to disassemble the rear landing gear wheels? How feasible is it to replace the rear wheels with customised, larger diameter wheels?

You could do that through 3d printing new parts, and possible sourcing larger diameter wheels, but you would also have to replace the kneecaps. I don't think anything larger would fit in the current kneecaps.

Future/Pledge polish?

Yeah, I am assuming that is what I will have to resort to.
