Slave IV

Thanks! MLs are cheap (although I think still overpriced for what they are unless bought on sale) and do the job for a lot of characters but I wish more companies that put better effort into their figures could make comic versions. I'm not into movie style myself so I'm not into the Marvel SHF stuff but the Sentinal Re:Edit armors are incredible figures and I'm looking into a few more key characters from Mezco.

Wow! are those custom effect parts or products for sale? That's what I'm talking about! But with more spiraling rockets!

No problem! Thank you for the excellent service and product. The figure I wanted to use the 1/6 adapter for is the Hot Toys Boba Fett I posted above. There is no place to clamp it without feeling like I'm going to damage it. There is some red string-like cloth right below his belt and that was the best spot to secure the figure but it seemed like the thread was going to fall apart or get damaged/deformed if I was to clamp around it. Clamping higher meant possibly crushing/damaging the armor. I messed with it for a while and just didn't feel comfortable with either clamp option so I gave up and used the figure's included crotch stand. I guess that leads to the suggestion of making a 1/6 crotch adapter for your stands!

Thanks! I was looking at some other Tamashii effects and the thought just occurred. Seems to make sense and be right in line with what they do. Hope it becomes a reality. Those would be nice to have too!

Setup my detolf: Will be very temporary as I just got my 1/60 VF-1S and the Armored 1J will be joining it on another display. My impressions are that these are the finest stands I've ever used. So well thought out and simple to use and customize. I'm a bit disappointed I won't be using the top section of the detolf mount because I realized the 1/6 clamp is not good for the figure I bought it for (will probably damage it after extended use). I'm sure I'll find use for those parts someday somewhere else. Here's what's above the Macross shelf to show how the setup ended up:

The latest figure I just opened: A DKR Robin to go with my Batman. Also got some goodies from Yeti and rearranged my Macross shelf in the detolf: Got some other stands for another setup and picked up my VF-1S today so more pics to come!

On that note, what this line needs is effects parts like SHF and SHMA do. One of the most iconic thing from the series to me is the mass amount of spiraling missiles flying everywhere and there is no off the shelf product to recreate that look. I'll be making my own soon if Bandai doesn't offer it but anyone know where I can get little rockets that look right to do it with?

Ok, I see where the paranoia is coming from. Having other mecha, especially the Zentradi stuff is the main reason I started collecting HMR. I always had Valkyries but nothing for them to go up against or complement them. So far, it seems like they are doing a good job of moving down the line and offering everything they presented and hopefully more. Basically, if it wasn't for the other mechs, I'd rather just stick with 1/60 Arcadia or DX figures.

Of course but I'm not talking about my imagination, I'm talking about the figures they displayed with the reintroduction to the HMR line.

Is there any reason why people are worried about the destroids being released? I would imagine everything they initially displayed in the diorama will be released.

Beautiful!

If serious...Um, where so I can attempt to snatch it?

Nice! I just got my first Yeti Stands too. Definitely the best stands I've used, thanks Yeti! I missed my shipment for my VF-1S today so I'll have to grab it from the post office Monday but can't wait to set it up. Meanwhile, the detolf stand is holding my VF-0S. The detolf and wall solutions are genius! Pics to come...

Wasn't HLJ long sold out before NY ever opened preorders in the first place?

Approved! I know all about the joys of rowing 400+hp beasts. Before I got back into collecting childhood nostalgic toys, all my money was dumped into the toy in my Avatar!

What car? Just wondering if I should agree with this:

Yeah, I just figured that part out. Haven't been following Gundam as much lately and can't keep up with all the different lines. That does seem like a good line that I'll be interested if they make some classic or G-Gundams. As for Macross, I'm pretty happy with what Bandai and Arcadia are already giving us.

Gundam was exactly what I was thinking. Oh, how I would love some mostly metal, highly detailed and articulated Gundam figures.

Whatever this new "Metal Build" series is, I hope it actually uses a lot of metal unlike "Hi-Metal" and either way, it sounds like a pain in my wallet!

Way to rub it in

Nice haul! I need a 1/60 Max! (and Milia!) Looking good! Did you have to trim the antennae or something? Here's my latest, the SHF FO Heavy Gunner: Also put in an order for the Monster...couldn't resist anymore.

Haha, nice pics!

Agree! The MT one has a really cool transformation but because of it, a lot of it doesn't look very good in either mode.

Haha, Megatron is giving up a lot of height and reach But he can hold his own

Thanks! It is an excellent figure, probably the best IMO.
