Thanks @F360, got my order in at last. Let’s see what all the fuss is about GX-71 being one of the best SOC’s!

Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
Angesdad replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Ok @Lolicon, enough of your overwhelming photographic encouragement! Seriously is that CG or an actual toy..so cool! I will have to be content with my 6 & 7. I can barely keep up with current year's scheduled releases and preorders. -
Thanks @Lolicon, got the hguc-mg analogy. @Stranger, yes I agree a HMR scale valk will stick out, singled out and displayed completely covered by a 1/48 in front of it. Wow @sh9000, awesome lookin’ VE-1 squadron you got there!! Think I am going to try one out and see where it takes me. Talkin’ about being late to the party eh. thanks everyone!
-
A question for y'all. I am considering to get a HMR Elintseeker from Mandarake, unopened for 9k yen. It is currently sitting in my cart however, I do not own a single HMR and since this will be my first HMR toy, wanted to ask how satisfied you are with yours. I am used to DX Valks, thanks!!

I believe they’re model kits you have to build and paint to look like they do in the sample photos.Btw, the helldivers are nice I would like to pick one up as I have some Bandai 1/35 kits built over the years.
-
I am quite content with Bandai's take on YF-19 but man, the fighter and the battroid mode on Arcadia is something else. Sharper yet beefier...much closer to the original illustration as well. Very tempting for sure but the PF price is also something else.
-
Great! Can I EMS stuff to you and then you can simply mail it up to Canuckland free of charge as a fellow MWFer? hey we're on the same of the Pacific. Ain't no such thing as a free lunch eh.
-
Allow me to chime in. Bandai QC is less than ideal and no, Focker isn't built better and absolutely no design improvements this time around. As a matter of fact my two Roys showed consistently of more paint mishaps and noticeably looser neck joint than previous releases. Perhaps something more than my bad luck.
-
Thanks @spacemanoeuvres!!!
-
I completely missed the PO. I will buy your 11th copy, anyone please?
-
What a shame, my YF-19 is boxed up and in storage because its worthy adversary is MIA.. The 21 in ‘21. Perfect.
-
I know it's simply playing on a different color scheme but I am waiting for this, just because; Any chance for August release this year? What would Bandai possibly add to entice customers for this version like the decal sheet included with kakizaki.. and I would like to see an upgrade to the existing peg system for the arms and legs, more stability in fighter mode. About damn time Bandai.

More like, if there's a bill, there's a no way out
-
Must...resist...temptation!!!! Suppose it was just a matter of time the black tri-stars are released on metal composite line.. btw, that's a big a$$ axe and won't work with my shelf.

Hey @borgified, I know. I’ve never made such an extravagant single purchase before. My daughter will disown me if she found out. I’ve been consolidating small stuff & saving up though, for the upcoming big hit . -

I remember so vividly as a young boy watching AKIRA for the first time in the late 80’s. “KANEDAAAAAAAAA!!! TETSUOOOOOOOO!!!” - a true masterpiece, my youth hasn’t been the same ever since. Anyhow there goes a big chunk of my budget for the year “helping” me to forget about vf-1d to z. Let the spring closet cleaning commence.
-
hey @sh9000, that cel shading animation effect is really cool!
-
No dust resides in the hangar above no sir. That is a nice a shot! While you're at it @Saburo, you should invest in some maintenance crew & misc equipment and have them blurred out in your shots to give depth with main focus on your Valk btw, I looked into the hangar set and man it ain't cheap!
-
The best thing I bought for my collections; Or you can swing by a dollarama get a makeup brush or something that works too. As for grease/dirt, wash hands well prior to or wear gloves.
-
I dig the museum pose! something very nostalgic about it. May I suggest a glass door to make your assets dustproof. If it's a IKEA, you can get an optional glass door thing. I can be somewhat OCD about dust setting on my collectibles. I dust all ma stuff all da time! Someone stop me please.
-
Wow that is a great price. You even get sales tax deducted from that as well (23,364 JPY). If only...
-
No crazy builds here but I got the waterslide decals from @Anasazi37 for dressing up DX DYRL VF-1’s. Man, talking about tiny, intricate decals! With my magnifier and shaky hands in I went for the job. What a difference the skull squadron insignia makes eh. Bandai could’ve omitted some of the mumbo jumbo decals and included this one instead. Been a while since I built anything to a completion but it was fun messing around on my bench. This is the aftermath of my attempts. I used Tamiya mark fit which is like a combination of micro set and sol. Do be careful following the instructions on the bottle which tells you to apply another layer on top.-It ripped the decal as it softens in my case. Just a dab of the stuff underneath a decal should suffice. One down, three (four if Bandai gives us Hikaru 1A) more to go!
-
Thanks @Saburo! I could say the same thing about your hangar shots!!! Great lighting and "drama" as I mentioned before...where does one score a hangar set like that.
-
I think y’all Roy and Super parts broken. I will take’em off your hands for free. TV super parts delivery came through at last yesterday from Kurama toys. As a member pointed out, they in Hong Kong, not Japan.

Happy New Year 2021 MWF!!! I couldn’t find a better place to post my inquiry but it is relevant to collecting so here it goes. This evening I was going through some stuff in my closet where my collection is stored. Some are bubble wrapped, some are in cardboard boxes. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it is a full-on infestation, however I did bump into a tiny silverfish. Hello & splat, no biggie right? but then I don’t like the idea of these crawlies residing in the closet taking advantage of my no direct sunlight rule. I’m sure you’ve had’em too somewhere along the way as a collector in your attic, storage room etc. What is the most effective way to deal with that?
