    Macross Collection Display Thread

    in Toys

    Posted · Edited by happy_spike

    We have now had a chance to settle into our new house and I have set up my detolfs with part of my wife and I's collection (think I need 2 more!)

    Display Cabinet


    VB-6 shelf
    My Pride and joy! My VB-6 SP Version with some VF-100's for scale
    (warning VF-100's are TERRIBLE toys! They look cool for their size but damn they are annoying to transform)

    Frontier shelf

    Just Luca + ghost and Brera for now. I have the rest of the SMS V1 VF-25 but until I get some fishing line they don' fit properly yet. I may have to do 2 shelfs when I get more detolfs

    Plus shelf
    Isamu and Guld
    I love the CMS figure of Isumu. "Forget it, In his mind, He's already flying..." - Lucy

    Macross Plus shelf


    7 shelf
    Miria and Gamlin VF-22s. Still yet to get the Max, haven't found one for the right price.
    Bought the Miria from Mandarake for 8000yen opened. When I took her out to put on display there was still the factory plastic on her legs when I transformed her, never been transformed and tight as the day it was built. Very happy with that buy!

    Macross 7 shelf



    M&M shelf
    Max and Miria Queadluun-Rau with CMS pilot figures. M&M keychans and Mint V1 Max VF-1J Super Pack in the background

    As many here do, I have a bit of an obsession with Max and Miria. It's just such an awesome story and they are such cool characters.
    I'll likely end up with en entire detolf dedicated to M&M one day

    M&M shelf



    Figures shelf

    Our collection of cool Macross figures
    Notice the mint Miria collection in the back that I got for 1500yen!

    Figures Shelf


    SDF shelf
    Foker VF-1s and Max and Miria Robotech Masterpiece.
    The VF-1s is the first macross toy I ever purchased.
    I know the Robotech MPC are not as good as the Yamato stuff, but they are are just so cool as mint display pieces. They will never leave the box anyway.

    SDF and Robotech Shelf



    Ghibli Shelf
    Some of our favorite Ghibli collectables and model kits

    20150120 065357



    On Top
    Iron man, Bahamut, Miku, Alduin and most notably for macross the Ichiban Kuji frontier mecha collection

    Other stuff
    Some of my other misc collectables

    EDIT: sorry it appears I have taken some of the shots a bit blurry, I'll replace them with clear ones when get home

    That's exactly how I saw both skullmilitia, couldn't have said it better myself. Then again I do like deep shows as well. And no I don't count gundam as deep... I count it as spewing BS trying to pretend to be intelligent. Kawamori doesn't go out of the way to explain it, he lets the viewer apply their own interpretation and each person see a different part of the depth that matters most to them.

    Yeah watched the series with my wife and she's a fan now. Got her own valks and everything. Though the downside is that I just got some Ichiban Kuji frontier figures (pics soon) and as soon as I opened them she shot-gunned the Grace Vf-27... should have got a pre-nup... :p

    Most definitely! Most of our major purchases are being put off in lieu of moving to a larger house. Once that happens, it is so on!

    Yep! we did the same. After the honeymoon in Japan, we came back with far too many macross toys. They have been boxed and waiting till me move into our new house which is almost built. Then when we have money to buy some cabinets so we can put it all up! So basically I'll have display pics in maybe 10 years...

    Yeah. Better stand, same adapter. It is a little flimsy still so I agree I wouldn't use it for anything but a flat flight pose. I'd offer to post my adapter, but you know... Australia lol. I think the best option is to see if anyone can do a cast of the mounting slot and surrounding area with a material that has very small (if any) shrinkage. That way you can make a adapter that fits a little more snug. Even some precise measurements could work well enough for you to CAD it. I'm moving soon so mine is boxed up, but I'm sure someone could send you through some specs at least.

    How did I miss that? I literally searched for b-club stuff the other day (on yahoo and mandarake)???? Thank you! ... now where do I get the money...

    Edit: so turns out I really need to learn to search Mandarake in katakana! B-club macross yields nothing and neither does feff or gigamesh but ギガメッシュ (gi ga me -shyu) go right there! no wonder I couldn't find it! I'm pretty ok with reading katakana too, so it would good practice!

    When I went to Japan, Bariaburu Faita and Hebime took me and my wife shopping in den den town and Bariaburu even saved us when we missed the shipping depot (just closed!) and had to find a post office before we could catch our flight! Arms full of boxes we walked all around Osaka to find a post office that was open (it was 6:30 and we had to be at the airport at 9!). When we asked what we could do for him to repay his kindness, he said "just do the same if anyone from Macross World comes to the Gold Coast". And we will! If anyone is visiting Brisbane or the Gold Coast, hit me up and we can show you around!

    Yeah wmkjr, similar. The resin I have is for jewelery and it gives a good smooth clear finish, should invisibly fill the gaps if there is a little slack. It does however get plastic meltingly hot haha. So it depends on how much the acrylic can take. I was hoping you'd maybe tried it before but that's fine, I can can get some to experiment on before using it on a stand. I read back over some of the pages I missed and people seem to be getting perfect results from plastic welding solvents. Maybe that's the best plan if they fit sung enough.

    Hey ChaoticYeti, do you happen to have any update on whether or no you will be able to do the clear stand feet? It will be a while till I can afford them but I really hope that you will be able to find a manufacturer(/you) that can cut precisely enough. If not how would the acrylic handle the heat from a clear polyester resin? because that might be a solution for me as long as it can take a good amount of heat. Never tried it with acrylic before though.

    Edit: a couple of people seem to have some pics with the clear feet in (like above) and they seem to be holding fine, do some clear feet sit right do they?
