By the way, any advice about how to remove the tampo without affecting the plastic?

@tekering removed the tampographs from the DX 19 (Full Set) on the wings. He also posted what was used, however had to put another thin layer of Black Tamiya paint on to fill in the spots that was removed in the process of removing the tampographs. 
 

Can anyone post that specific quote from the DX 19 Full Set Thread if found? 

Although it has been discussed so many times about the inconsistency between the 2 versions of the 21, looking forward to see the Yammie 21/22 and the DX 21 hand in hand.   

Bandai loves to screw everyone over @Bolt and they hand out empty promises (just like Howard Chan since he's the CEO of Hot Toys). Tease all the product to grab attention and 95% of the time, we get nothing in return. 

D Amazing has the review for Doom up. 

Mezco can send my copy during the New Year for that matters, as they say that the bulk orders are first in line that gets shipped out (hobby stores). The remaining peasant orders gets shipped last.   

I'm with you on that @Mommaras Doom is my last licensed purchase form Mezco themselves. I'll be only getting selected Slugfest/Rumble Society figures from them, the other licensed figures (also selective) will be from either of two my local hobby stores when they have stock in,  

D Amazing has Doom in hand. His review should be up within a week if he doesn’t have the “Itis” over the holidays.  Here’s a few pics that he had posted on his media platform. 
 

Hopefully that the FiFe Warehouse will ship it out quickly as the New York location usually takes their sweet arse time in getting stuff out. 
 

Edit: Another Amazing D pic. 

Hmm.. After skipping Comic Spidey literally at the price of $380 USD s&h (depending where your located), this Undead Death Trooper might be added into my collection depending on the $$ factor. 

Another Macross collector member in Taiwan has got his copy of the Egg Yolk 19 and he reports that this version has better tolerances than compared to the previous DX 19 from the the Full Set release. 

Can the members here that have this Egg Yolk 19 already in hand either confirm or report that it still has issues?   

Possible Undead Death Trooper to be followed up?

Edit: Enoch is shown.

Oh come on!!
I want to see how this Egg Yolk DX v.2 19 is packaged properly, not the dissected version of the clamshell opened up in this video and how are the tolerances for this re-release. 

I might be interested in the Hono Magnus to go along with one if his now re-rewritten, not one of his daughter Scarlet Witch as the other one is possible from X-Factor: Polaris.  

Anyone want to get?? Jedha Patrol has his own copy.

Doesn’t anyone want to get 7 copies of the DX 21? 

First one to open and display in valk mode, second for mid-transformation, third in battroid, fourth to keep sealed and look at, fifth, sixth and seventh copies to flip at 5x its worth on Evilbay or keep it for investment purposes for your kids (or grandkids) for that matter [if they’re still interested in the things that we grew up with, or just veg out on RPG, League of Legends, Fortnight  or anything else]. 

Plus this bare bones, lack lustre, stripped down, Sunny Side Up Egg Yolk DX 19 still has the annoying tramp stamp plastered all over the wings. 
 

Like what @SuperHobo has mentioned in another thread (my paraphrasing here): “It’s a Bloody Warplane, NOT a Daytona, Indy 500 or Formula F1 race car that display’s advertising for all the entire world to see”! 

You mean a recycled version of Iron Man with those Bat like wings and the head of Cumberbatch @Slave IV? Or is it another interpretation of SOC Mazinkeiser SKL? 
 

Disney loves to recycle some of the same ideas across many of their shows. 

The last licensed release of the year (or still let it sit at the Fife Warehouse until 2024)?

@davidwhangchoi - Most likely that Bandai has heard or read that collectors (or Karens) that complained about the pricing of the Full Set 19 upon official release and that they want it a affordable price. Years later for the re-release, Bandai has stripped everything down for a bare bones DX 19 this year.

Bandai: "We heard that you guys wanted the DX YF-19 at an affordable price point and here you go. A no frills stripped down version at the price of the DX Full Set from 2019."   

Edit: D'oh! Posted here instead of the DX YF-19 thread.. Still want to see the DX 21 Pengriod. 🤣

Scans of the Egg Yolk, Sunny Side Up lack luster DX YF-19 has shown up, Here are some of the pages from there,

Looks very similar from the Full Set version with changes. HOWEVER there is a pic for a missile that can be added for the leg calf for this version (that is not included for this set?).  Did Bandai mess up and for get to remove it for this watered down version of the YF-19 or is it a hint that Bandai loves screw us over with their false promises?    

Anyone willing to fork out $160 USD for Hono/Hot Toys Wolvie? Might be competing with 3z and other 3rd party 1/6 offerings for the market.

If anyone is curious, one review on the Comic Spidey in Mandarin. Is it worth the hype? 

Update from Toypaige. 

As usual, Amazing D has his copy of the Fantastic Four in hand (and here is a few pics shown). 

Have no idea if Sue Richards is single jointed. 
Tease us with the pics from the big influencers and then hold our copy for two months or more at the loading docks until someone processes it, sends out a generic email that it will take time to sort through all the backlog packages in the meantime. 

Another version of the cheaper Artisan Hot Toys? I wonder who much bloodshed has to be made in order to just get one copy to flippin flip on Evilbay at 5x it’s worth or keep it for investment purposes? 
 

I think @Spark-O-Matic is saying that this 1/55 Chunky Monkey 1a in this specific box packaging is Ultra Rare @Shawn.
 

Manda’s listing for the exact packing with the same 1/55 Chunky Monkey valk is listed below. 

https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1228876882&ref=list&keyword=マクロス 1%2F55&lang=en&deviceId=1

I have zero knowledge about how many in the world have been made and available. 

Ultra Rare pre-production 1/55 Strike 1s Chunky Monkey? I don’t think so @Spark-O-Matic. 
 

There is that same one on listed on Manda (long gone) and I believe that two members here on the boards have it also with the same packaging. There is also one copy in display at my hobby shop in Vancouver, B.C. that is also up for grabs (might be close to 3k Beaver Dollars) also with the same packaging.

BUT…. There is that high chance that it will be discoloured and fragile due to age. 

Edit: Is there a proper history behind that specific 1/55 Chunky Monkey Strike 1s written somewhere (not the AI semi cobbled hodgepodge that seems be floating around)? 

Never fails. Charge us now and it sits on the shipping docks for two or more months. 
“That’s how you really tick off your customers Mezc, and you ask for $400 USD or more, delay the shipping, screw us over”.

Are we we still getting Mezco 1:12 figures (or selected) after all the headaches and delays that they’ve been having lately? 
 

Gaslights Bat has still not shipped after more that a month of Mezco sending out the processing notice, but their in-house figures are somehow getting shipped out before the licensed items are officially released (Bart Rex is getting shipped out as I speak). 
 

Who here is actually going to quit getting stuff from Mezco completely? I be still getting stuff from Mezco, but not from themselves, but certain selective Rumble Society/Slugfest items that I have interest in. Others I can get from my two local hobby stores if and when they get officially released and a proper review is done.
