Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
borgified replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Haul over two days. Jungle: Grade B - DX SV-262 Hs (Now for the hunt for the Lil'Draken add on) From my LCS: (1) With trade in credit - Fansproject Sigma L and the recent Old Man Logan TPB. Marvel comics is calling off Old Man Logan, Weapon X and a bunch of other covers from what I've learned. (2) 20% off from MRSP- Usagi Yojimbo: Book 32: Mysteries. Edit: It's Hs not Ha. I always get these mixed up..

Based on your reply back, is it theoretically possible that the N-ger is up next; however, I could be wrong in saying that.
-
I trimmed your attached pic out of my reply to keep things simple @jvmacrossif that is what your asking (and I did see it).

You mean Silvie's VF-2ss I take it? Yes it has been released and the most recent HMR was the VT-1 in which it got lost of flack here to a degree (the reasons why are up for debate for simplicity purposes). Here's @sh9000post to keep you up to speed. The question is.... Which HMR is next? The teased Phalanx, Tomahawk, N-ger and other offerings are available. Other that, Bandai hasn't mentioned a peep.
-
Don't forget that Bandai also has the DX YF-19 as well (to be released and the end of next week I believe). Once the VF-1 and the YF-19 is released, I'm sure that Bandai re-focus back in the HMR lineup.

My theory on why Sheryl and Ranka are the more focused characters. It's been ten years since Frontier was on the airwaves plus a new single by May'n and Nakajima Megumi doing the vocals of their respected characters for the Anniversary (not to mention the chemistry between the two of them upon singing together). Even with the animated series plus the two movies, isn't fair that to say that Sheryl and Ranka are the two focused singers the the series and we get to see the evolution of them both from their start up as rookie signers to where they are in the series? Note: The Anniversary song is up on Youtube. Can't give you the direct link as I'm at work. If anyone can upload it, then you're free to do so, otherwise I'll do it later when I get home.

From seti88's post on the DX YF-19 thread; here's the link for clearer pics of the Macross Figures, artwork, merchandise, other stuff and the DX YF-19. http://www.decultureshock.com/macross-macross-f-cafe-art-gallery/ * *Actually posted by Gwyn Campbell on the 6th of this month. Here are some pics from the actual event. Edit: There are three more pics of Sheryl and Ranka in which I didn't post, and you'll know what they are when you click on it.

Bandai has done the Glaug and the Regult (in single format and in a pack of two as a missile set) so far. The next possible one will be the N-ger and what ever Zentreadi mecha that we haven't got.

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
borgified replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
For those who have the HT ROTJ ERG, here are some pics. I'm mirroring them from the 1/6th thread on the TFW2005 forums. I know that the Star Wars: Black Series 3/75 inch has more accessories like the pistol and holster (as per the 6 inch one as well) and the double bladed staff as per the Dark Horse EU Comics: Crimson Empire (now deemed non-cannon according to the House of Mouse), I guess that you can't win them all. Edit: Here's the review by Justin's collectables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfZMiUruqtA -
Don't you want a TV Miria to go with your M&M collection (that is if they ever do it)? Edit: I know that Bandai has done Hikaru, Max and Kakizaki in the original Hi-Metal line up (not TV version I think).

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
borgified replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I looked at the Sideshow website and they have the TLJ Leia up for possible release in Q1 of next year. So in terms of what @JetJockeyis saying, that it will be a while before we get either Endor Luke and Leia (if it ever gets made not to mention that the ROTJ Luke and ESB Leia was just released). I won't be surprised if the Bespin Gown Leia doesn't get made after it was teased at this years SDCC. The only vehicle release that I know of is the Endor Speeder Bike (now out) and the upcoming Blood Fin for Darth Maul (A Deluxe Package). -

borgified replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The brother and sister in Endor outfits where teased back in SDCC 2017 and reading upon various other forum threads, nothing was mentioned about if they are ever being made or not. -
Here's another thought - Use clear nail polish or Future Floor Finish on the gold trim that is prone to chipping off right away when you pop the transformation joints (and let dry before going mad on the full transformation).

Another HT Spidey. http://news.toyark.com/2018/09/07/hot-toys-ps4-spider-man-spider-punk-costume-1-6-scale-figure-315947 -
I've been watching lots of transformation vids and hopefully that I don't screw up during the process. Definitely going to valk and battriod modes and skip the gerwalk all together (less hassle to deal with). On a side note - If Bandai does decide to do the Elvis version, I wonder how are they doing to make the gold trim highlights not peel upon removing the protective covering?
-
Got my paws on a SV 262 Ha from Jungle (Grade B, 13k yen) and will make the payment if I don't have any else to add on to this order within a few days. Going to see of I can manage to do all the transformation in all three modes without tossing it against the wall and not causing me to bleed in the process in doing so. Lil'Draken add-ons to follow.
-
Hmm... The VF-25 can be re done into a larger scale as it was in the Robot Spirits line up with the Q-Rare. I wonder if the YF-19 can be redone into the HMR as it was in the Hi-Metal line up. Toss in the possible YF-21 and you get more sales (if and when Bandai decides to it, that's another question).
-
I might get docked for doing this... For anyone that wants a VT-1, Manda has one right now. https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1095867837&ref=list

There are other hobbies that will drain your funds away regardless... A battalion ready to launch at moments notice upon approval.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.
borgified replied to Gakken85's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Seems like the Siegfrieds get more love (and have more variants in DX form) than compaired to the Drakens (with one in DX form with a possibility of two more if and when Bandai choose to do so). Still going to get a Draken regardless. -
The demand isn't high for them to justify the cost as the hero/heroines are the main focused characters. I read that Max and Mirya are not that big of a seller overseas (as secondary characters); however, in the American shores, they become one of the hot ticket items. I guess that's why it depends on the psychographic/demographics of the market demand (plus customers) and where you put the product in the particular market.
-
I think that the transformation may have to do with it. Valks that are a really pain the butt to do all three transformations get left in the shelf and collect dust or get tossed against the wall in frustration. I know that the Yammie SV-51, DX VF-171 and possibly other valks (I can't think of any other ones) are in the list of the less desired ones due to the transformation including the SV-262.
-
Going to keep my eyes peeled for the EXQ Sheryl and Ranka. @tekering: Those 30th Anniversary crossover figures are still available if your interested in getting the rest of them.

Review of HT: Justice League Wonder Women (Deluxe Version) Edit: Here's the actual review (took out the unboxing vid) The comparsions are here. -
I believe that this is the original 31f as the newest one has not been released (unless someone was gotten a advanced copy of the re-issue ahead of time through "un-official means").
