Thanks! Yes those are all 1:150 N scale buildings, cars, and trains made by Kato and Tomix / Tomytec. A little off scale from HMR. 

Looks great!  Been meaning to get a few of those buildings.

Looking good!

Sounds great!  Looking forward to the finished one.

After some delays in shipping, my HMR Defender has finally arrived (it was combined shipping with the VF-1J Milia)!

Its bit lighter than I thought it would be, but that's ok.  Good detail and nice articulation.  Now bring on the Tomahawk and Phalanx!

 

 

Good stuff as always!  Just got my defender as well, looking forward to the other ones and hoping for color variations hehe.

Same. Also Debating whether or not to preorder the VF-31A if I still can. If so where do I go?

It is still available at NY:

I'm liking how Messer looks with his super parts on.

Fits in nicely, great paint job!

It kind of reminds me of Tekkaman Blade.

Different box design compared to Hayete's Super Parts in horizontal format? PO cancelled. 

Not sure if already mentioned, I stared at this for a good 5 minutes when I got my Mirage...

Looks great!  Thanks for sharing the photos... can't wait to get mine.

Nice, Congrats!

A few things that came in today, to help finally expand my Macross collection beyond just valkyries -- plus a curious Hikaru.

Nice, loving the HMR line, it's so much fun to play with.

Slowly building up my 1/60 game...super happy to finally have my favorite valk in this scale.

Big thanks to @Bahamutzyro!  Quick and easy transaction as well as fast shipping.

The pilot uniform? If so, one is the "Figuarts Zero Mirage Farina Jenius," and the other is the "Banpresto SQ Figure Mirage Farina Jenius."

---

Figuarts Zero Mirage:
pros
+ generally better workmanship
+ better sculpt
+ clear helmet visor
+ comes with additional face (blushing)
cons
- smaller than Banpresto figure
- more expensive (retailed for ~5000 yen, managed to snag mine for ~2500)
- sculpt is arguably not significantly better

---

Banpresto SQ Mirage:
pros
+ slightly larger than Figuarts
+ cheaper (got mine for ~$15)
+ "fuller" sculpt
cons
- "stylized" sculpt (not necessarily a con, but worth noting)
- skin tone is pale, doesn't feature paint (according to Saburo, anyway; my limited knowledge/collection of figures means I can't easily tell)
- opaque helmet visor
- not as expressive (IMO)

---

I'm sure there's more that can be said comparing both, but I don't have the Banpresto figure in front of me to do so. Saburo might have more insight for you; he's had more time with the figures.

Thanks very much!  Yep, I was looking at the pilot uniformed ones.  Saburo's pics make it hard to decide, they all look great lol.

I was thinking of getting a Mirage figure...is one of the uniformed figures better than the other?

Damn that's wallpaper quality, very cool shots @Slave IV
