@sumyumgoy How does the paint seem to hold up with play? Any signs of chipping and the like?

It's been good, no chipping yet.  It's just my guess, but i think the plastic is molded in blue and then top-coated.  I take that back, looks like it's painted.  You can tell from the butt thrusters on mine that the blue didn't get applied evenly and some silver is showing.  Everything else looks ok though.

Also, few things I noticed when trying to do some poses:

• The Sinanju style sleeves get in the way sometimes with holding some weapons like the bazooka.  I removed them for some poses.
• Fingers are too thick to fit through the handle of the grenade launchers.
• Light bleed from the eye led through the forehead.

Nice setup indeed!

Jesus....I think that this pic is the best I've seen yet at very least in terms of capturing the color. 

Bit the bullet and ordered my first 1/72 with that barbatos dragon looking thing.  Fingers crossed the quality is up there. 

Wow, thanks!  Too bad I couldn't influence you into getting one haha.  I wanted to return the favor for all your photos and reviews that have me buying left and right 

Looking forward to your thoughts on the White Dragon.  I'm still on the fence with that one but the transformation looks cool.

I took another photo of the Kampfer this morning under just sunlight:

When is the deadline to pay for the VF-4G at NY?  I already paid for my 2 there since I preordered after they took off the pay later option but I have no issues.

The deadline that I received from them is February 3 8:00 am JST

Did you paint it gold on the highlights cuz the review I saw showed it as silver where yours is gold? In mines in the mail it was shipped a while ago so I should receive it sometime in the near future.

Nope, I didn't paint it, that's how it came out of the box.  Hope you get yours soon!

Kampfer is looking mighty fine there. Poison Toys going strong again. 

It really is beautiful.  I've only had their Quanta Sherbo before but it seems that all of their releases have been great.  I am tempted to get the Buster 

Also, it uses AG4 batteries for the head led.

Got Poison Toy Cyclops today.  It is pretty amazing.  Finish is great, it's super poseable and the joints are crazy tight.  The only thing that I've noticed that I don't really fancy are the plastic covers for the thrusters but they are removable.  Also, the manual is non existent...

I'd definitely recommend it if you are on the fence.  Also, it's about 11 inches tall to the tip of the antenna and quite hefty.

Is the GFFMC line in roughly 1/100 scale?

My experience is only with the newer releases so not sure about the earlier ones.  But I'd agree that the newer ones are close to 1/100.

You just described literally 90% of my collection. I mostly get things because they look cool. 

Go with whatever puts a smile on your face.

So true, you do you @Pontus!  Heck, I hold onto the AmiAmi art that they include with their packages for this reason lol.

i was totally joking! , but what you say sounds pretty spot on. Yoshiuki has this gritty style, and i respect him highly. I remember looking at his work for hours, ina a Galatic Trade commission catalog I had, back then. Feeling shocked and humbled by his level of detail.

Yeah these are conceptual images, and they are very very cool. i just thought i would bring it into context with the story, to see what response i would get from you guys. I am an artist myself, and i really don't consider myself as good as Yoshiuki.

Great job man.  I like the reflection details on Valkyrie girl...among other things 

Great stuff @Rogueload!

MB GP01 and GP02 please. Hell, since $1000 Gundams are a thing now, might as well do a GP03 as well. 

(Although Bandai will probably make the weapon containers a separate p-Bandai release for 30k yen.)

I'd be down for that!

Right back at ya @Alphahorizon.  Thanks for the smooth transaction and excellent communication.  Happy New Year!

Congrats on  getting Gaiking! Great looking figure, have fun with the skirt though

Haha, thanks!  I'm hoping the skirt isn't too annoying.

Sentinel Mazinger came in today.

Nice!  Looking forward to the review.  I held off on it since I have the Metal Build but Sentinel's take is very interesting.

Is it you or @Saburo that paints their landing gear white? That;s a Saburo shot I think.

That's quite the compliment

I needed the room in one of my Detolfs so these guys got "promoted" to the big cab. Just kind of chucked them in there for now. I need to do something to tidy this traffic jam up.

It's looking pretty good to me.
