Why would anyone ever do any of this? Not being familiar with anime beyond the stuff I saw as a kid, it looks like a bunch of little girls and near girls in outfits that must only look good in the world of anime... Oh, except the guy in the full battle suit... that's an impressive amount of work, I hope it helps him score on the Cos Play girls and near girls.

"What are little girls made of?" "Sugar and spice and everything nice." "Yum, I have to get me one of those!" -Space Ghost

I'm hoping your lady just likes it rough.

Don't forget to give yourself additional clearance just to keep the look clean. When an item nearly touches the shelves above it it creates a real clostrophobic look. You should ask someone to measure the Bandai(or Takatoku) 1/3000 SDF-1 while standing completely erect just in case you ever want to include on of those one day and make sure you have one shelf that can accomodate him

wow... i got a new monitor and I swear this is how people who finally get glasses must feel. I had all these pictures I thought the lighting wasn't perfect enough to get the detail on... with my new monitor I see everything perfectly! HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY.

I got a max Q-Rau! Some Robotech stuff too but I won't bore you all with that

heresy! You can handle anything as long as you do so properly. Ultimately the goal is to get it on a glass shelf and let it sit there indefinitely.... but that is still clearly some time away.

My LowVis has become more symbolic than anything else... having it is kind of like being in the circle of trust. I'm not too worried... at the moment I have far more toys than I can display and I wouldn't really have a place for it. Still I long to just take it out of the box and admire it.... and I cannot. If it does end up destroyed or sold though I'll let you guys know so you can all say "TOLD YOU SO" in unison.

I love it, it's subtle but not under-stated.

Kanata just lamented not buying this in another thread. It's a 1/100 Banpresto on the left. You should try the toothpaste trick on one of those chest plates so we can judge how good it is at restoring yellowed pieces

Rock solid as long as you don't try to make them do something they're not suppose to. Some things can be a hassle (the heatshield might pop off during transportation, the missiles might pop off, that sort of thing) but usually they don't involve anything broken... just a little time to correct. Even those tend to be pretty rare occurances... you'll find these toys to be highly recommended.

ruh-roh Shaggy... (i think the forums have a "no pics in sigs" rule). Just the same, it's a nice pic! Nice collection Hayao - xmas is so close... more pictures to come soon.

Yeah.... not exactly the most photogenic though since they don't really cooperate with flash-photography but they stand out nicely in a display case. I have long-since removed the non-chrome ones from my cabinets but these guys will probably stick around for a while. I'm also afraid to transform them though... it was scary enough just standing the VF-19s antennae/guns up... I was worried a piece of chromey plastic would chip off or something.

aw, you mean these guys

I've got a nice situation going. My LowVis is down at my girlfriend's grandparent's house in Anaheim area (where I bought it). It was too big to fit in my luggage so I left it with them. That was like a year ago and I still haven't been able to pick it up. I want MY low vis and I can't get to it

Edit - added pics so you can see they're not boots

sweetness.... did you also alter the red in that Milia valk in the background?

$150 for the original Blazer??? That's crazy talk. I bought all four original Mac7 toys for under $150 shipped. Maybe the chromed blazer might cost you that much... I sold a reissue VF-19 Bandai for like $30... it's not hard to find them for that price on eBay. Still, you can get two knock-offs for that price so it depends what you're doing with them.

I just directed somewhere here to follow in your footsteps Pat... did you ever overcome your engineering hurdles?

Could be a problem from the factory but at this point it's moot. More than a few people complained that their Yamato Mac+ toy was crummy right from the box but Yamato isn't going to help you out unless you live in Japan and it's six years ago. Lemme see if I can't dig up some ball joint stuff for you. Go here, you owe me a favor if you find what you're looking for http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...=11036&hl=yf-19

Did you keep the toy in a display case or was it on a shelf somewhere? Was that particular wing in the sun more often than the rest of the toy?

Breasts are like strippers. They're plenty hot on their own but they're even hotter when they're moving. Watching breasts heave, rock, swing, and sway can be just as enjoyable as actually handling them. If anything though, I bet women wish they had the +/- breast function. They could shrink 'em down to mosquito bites when the creepy guy is around or they're jogging and then super plus size them when they're looking for attention.

that's cool, is that what the scale would really be like?

Man, this totally blows my theory that I tell to all girls in relationships who I want to be single. I always tell them "Hey, you've been with him how many years and he still hasn't married you? That means he's never going to." Usually that's a surefire fight starter leaving the Jenius to swoop in pick up the remains and do some consoling of the newly single lady-friend.... I'm going to hell.

didn't this have its own thread already?
