Found TMNT NECA Fugitoid and paired it with the OG NECA Donnie and Super7 Ultimates Mikey. This figure has so many fun turtle accessories that were in the original comics (specifically TMNT #4-5 and the Donatello single.)

Does anyone have any idea how to find what happened to these larger Lion Playmates prototypes? I'm so bummed they didn't get produced.

Ah, man! That stinks. I have the Matty Voltron and the leg of the Blue Lion just snapped off while transforming it. The material choice on those lions seem so cheap to me. Thin and weak.
I still enjoy it's giant presense and the chest logo-head reveal is so satisfying. Just wish it was a bit sturdier without all the spring gimmicks.

So, I'm thinking of selling my ARCADIA 1/3000 MACROSS PERFECT TRANSFORMATION SDF-1 - PREMIUM EDITION (as shown in this thread). Is anyone interested?
-
Here's video I made of the actual Arcadia Premium Edition Glow Effects. Just so you can compare. It looks a lot like what you are able to accomplish with the glow paint. Well done.

Anyone looking for a Minty White G1 Jetfire? This one is really nice and complete with working landing gear: http://ebay.us/EMF7C9?cmpnId=5338273189

Forgive my noob-ish questions here, but I need some help.
Will any fast/super packs work on the VF-1J Bandia DX?
I love the DX VF-1J and recently received the missle set. I really can't afford to go all in on VF-1S, but really dig the big thrusters and armor of the fast/super packs. I know it's not cannon with the show.

Like I said, it was a bitch!
But basically, it took patience and finagling with a soft ruler and some other “tools” I made. I think a regular pencil with an eraser would work well but I didn’t have one so I used a thick rubber band wrapped over an Allen wrench to push the cutout into place. I started with the small part on the left side and pushed it all the way in. There is space behind the molded buildings that you can tuck the cutout behind. Hardest part is at the right side where you have to fold the paper and tuck it behind the buildings in the corner. Tucking in that side usually pulled the left side towards the right so that’s when I used the rubber band tool to push it back into place. Once you get it in the right place, it fits perfectly. Excellent design by @wm cheng Thank you so much! I still don’t know what the other images are for though...The ones between the ruler to print the correct size. Did you figure out where those go?
Thanks for the tips. I'm not sure where the other images go. I thought they were options instead of the city, but I didn't look that close.

OK, much better now
How did you get that in so well? I had to cut mine in sections.

That city detail is sweet! How do I get one like it and how much?
If you send me a PM with your e-mail, I'll send you the art file. It's just the background.
The rest is already in the Arcadia PF SDF-1 transforming toy/piece.
-
I'm really happy with these pieces. Real quality in these Macross lines. I'm looking forward to getting the missle pack for the DX VF-1J and hopfully a Super Pack.
-
I also added the background to the city part. I got the background from wm cheng . His customizing of this piece is light years ahead of anything I can do, so I very much appreciated the assist on my piece.
-
It's been awhile since posting some progress on this guy. . . I've finally added all the littel screw covers and snap-in bits. There is so much great detail in this piece.
Here is the beast in a flying pose with a pencil eraser topper VF-1J in gerwalk mode to try and scale with it. Also pictured is the glorious DX VF-1J. I placed some Diaclone pilots to scale with the DX VF-1J.
Enjoy

Has anyone gotten their hands on this Robotech mini-arcade? I believe it plays the Game Boy Advance Robotech game. Link below:

I know you already got the PF Arcadia, but I also wanted to mention the Master Made Super Deformed DYRL SDF-1. It's sold out now and I'm not sure what the prices for it are still this time. Still one of my favorites.
Heck yeah! Thanks for the link. He looks so cute!

Nice! Did that stand come with them?
The stand came with this one.

After some fun research and fun ebaying, I found these very small VF pencil sharpeners. They can be taken apart and have the smallest VF toy I've been able to find.

Not quite. The back of his thighs have a notch cut-out so you can fold the hind legs underneath. He also has an ab-crunch of sorts. The pics below show about how close you can get it. The front legs aren't long enough to get this pose.
Incidently, I was able to get the LD Die Cast Black Lion to sit in that pose:

any word on the super packs for this guy? I don't want to miss-out on them. These Bandai pieces are crazy hard to get.

Ffs. Bandai, you suck. This happened the first time, thought i would get lucky the 2nd time, but... no.
Who does it benefit not making enough to supply those who want to buy? I guess I'll support KO makers on this one, so disappointing.

You could try to get your hands on the Icarus Voltron or Mad Toys Voltron. Both are made with decent die cast and have a premium feel to them. I had the Mad Toys one and only sold it after I got the SOC. I regret selling it as it is a really fun version with tons of accessories. You should be able to find one on ebay for around $300

Just curious. Can the SoC Black Lion can sit and pose like this?

I finally transformed this beast! Very intuitive, but tricky with the thin shoulder canons and bridge antenna. Also, started adding all the screw covers. They really add some nice detail to an already great piece.
The 1/250 figters are a bit too big on the SDF-1 (as expected), but they'll make a nice addition to the display area.

Could you share what LED did you use?
I used a blue LED from one of these inexpensive finger lamps:

I tried a quick LED light to battery mod to get some lights inside the windows (literally 3 batteries connected to an LED bulb):

Completely agree. This figure is very well done. One of the best Blitzwings IMO. Still looking forward to the new Hasbro offering, but this little guy is very impressive in his own right.
