Slave IV

If I'm reading correctly, the op already has both so in that case, I wouldn't trade to have 2 4Gs and no 30.

Wow, that is beautiful! I really hope I can find my 1/48 someday!

How bad could they be? As long as they look like explosions, there's no tolerances or articulation to worry about. If anything, I'd hope they look a little different to have a variety.

Haha yeah...I appreciate these things extremely!

LOL, yeah...I didn't start until last year with the Arcadia reissues so this is not coming cheap. I have about $1K hanging off that wall mount right now.

Sounds about right!

Thanks and yep! Gotta love these things!

Hopefully I can check one out in person sometime to see if I want to dabble in the line. Thanks about the Spidey figure! They are pretty fun, I just ordered the new Revo Comic style Spiderman so I'm really looking forward to getting that thing, especially the accessories that come with it.

Might as well add VF-1S Gerwalk mode here too:

Oh nice, I guess I should have bought more when I did since they seem to be sold out or price has gone up on originals. I got mine for about the same price as the knockoffs.

Amazon or BBTS usually have good prices on effects parts.

Thanks! Yeah, the figures are the same as far as quality...I just have no personal interest in the MCU versions Look forward to watching all the movies though!

Damn, such a beautiful mech.

Looks amazing! I'm intrigued by the Metal Build and this 3rd party Gundam but it's a road I don't want to go down, LOL! IF they start making some figures from G-Gundam, I might be hurting. Here's one of my latest purchases: MCU can suck it as far as figures go...It's all about comic style for me!

Very nice!Bandai needs to put out an effects line for HMR! Spiraling missiles are as iconic as VF-1's in Macross.

Wow, didn't know there were 3P Gundams like this...Would love to hear more about it too.

Is there an echo in here?

Thanks! I just started using the Tamashii stages and haven't bothered tightening anything to hold an arm too horizontally and now I just won't. Anything it can't hold on it's own the way it came out the box, I'll just assume is too much pressure.

Thanks for the warning! The stands and connectors do seem touchy but they seem ok once you get it all set up. Probably should tighten the joints if you are doing anything that seems iffy. My 1S fell out of the shelf and onto the hardwood floor and other than some parts flying off, it was fine. Of course, I don't want that happening regularly.

No offense! Absolutely nothing wrong with those! There is a lot of "action" portrayed in those shots! Actually, I haven't seen many Macross displays I don't like because people seem to do them well. I'm mostly talking about collections where all the figures are in bot mode, standing straight up and crammed together on shelves to fit as many as possible. Awesome! I ordered a trident stage that is on its way with a CF for mounting HMRs too!

My first time handling a modern Valk was the Armored 1J that came out last year. I remember being surprised at the size and weight since I'm used to the OG 1/55 but completely enamored with the look and details. The tight tolerances, especially in the landing gears are frightening but the plastic seems very strong. There is some looseness in areas that bothered me a bit but finally having a complete Valkyrie with the Armor Parts installed and in my hands was more than enough for me to put aside any issues and just be in love. I've been hooked ever since and my only regret is not being on the ball when these were first released as 1/48 and the V2's but that was the short period of time where I pretty much stopped collecting comics and toys and was focused on my car. I don't think there is a line of finer figures anywhere in terms of detail and design. The VF-0S being the best of the bunch so far. But obviously, the Focker 1S is the most iconic must have for a Macross collection. Now I need my M&M that have eluded me my entire life.

I agree for any collection. The displays I like the least are the ones where people have tons of figures crammed onto shelves and all of them are in static, standing straight poses to make room. "Action Figures" should portray some sort of "action", IMO. Of course, it looks awesome if you have the space to do so with an army of figures! But it also depends...if you don't have room to display them but you take them down to pose and "play" with them, that works. Or whatever since everyone should enjoy their collection how they want.

P1 would be nice, I want a 918.

I hope that doesn't come out just because I will be forced to buy it.

Thanks for the info! Again, confirming that the specific cars I want for my collection basically don't exist. Money saved!
