As I reacall, nearly 30 years ago now, they only had the Js on the shelf. I bought 2 and sold one to a friend.
-
If I go look, I still see the 30% off, but the price went up $20.

If anyone wants a hi metal vf-19 fire Valkyrie, it’s $65 on Amazon. Wasn’t even looking for one. edit: well that went fast https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZQKGSQ6?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref=clp_aw_a_A3ACILMS0N8AEO

The extra hands that come with the FUGU Not Jetfire fit really well. I did have to go after the gun hand with a little love from the xacto knife, but it’s now a nice snug fit. Yay! I frakking hate the stock hands and they can’t even hold the gun. Now Roy is complete.

And has weathered the years well I think. Gun doesn’t work anymore, but I think I still have the sprue with the extra missiles.

I ordered one of the special edition Gokin stands for it last night. I mean sure the launch stand looks kinda cool, I thing the wobbly stands from the Bandai ones are better. After that I just need to make a friend with a 3d printer so I can make an adapter for my 1/48. I can see my God of Flame on the shelf right past my monitor and it looks pretty. Some joints are worryingly tight and others could be a little tighter. I do strongly dislike how they handled the boosters attachment, just seems like there are better ways to do that. If it hadnt been for the extra missiles and the stand, I would have bought the standard version. I'd say Im about 90% happy with it, without the stand Id say 95%.

He is the old soldier of the group. Might be a little rusty, legs don’t move so well.

We go distracted by shiny toys!!!

I mostly dig mine. I hate the de-macrossification, I get it, but I dont like it. I am a little confused with the translucent pilot. Is he supposed too be a hologram or did they forget to paint mine? I'm going with hologram since it is supposed to be a Transformer. And posing on the stand seems pretty limited, it seems to wanna tip over pretty easy if you get aggressive with posing it. And those hands like the 1/48 Yamato, yuck, terrible hands. Reminds me I would like to find replacements for the 1/48 Roy, but I might live without, lol. With everything set up it is pretty to look at though!!
-
It does come with a few autobot tickers, but that’s it. Damn, now I want something other than those. Oh well. Overall a very nice piece. Obviously not the quality of a Bandai or Yamato, I can’t speak to the Arcadia it’s ripped off from.
-
Well, they came back and said I had to pay shipping because of tariffs. $14 for shipping from China isn’t so bad. So hopefully I’ll have my not “jetfire” soon.

Well, yet again I was allowed on the internet with no supervision. Got it for $175 on Amazon, couldn’t pass the deal up. The wife probably thought I was lookin at boobs. Pretty happy with this. Articulation is great and solid. Little bummed it doesn’t hold the gun pod at a reasonable angle, but the top thingy makes with the pew pews, that that works for me. Guess I better buy another Gokin stand so I can dangle it over the edge of my shelf and give people heart attacks, lol. MOD NOTE 1). Maximum uploads of 3 pictures of a toy even if you bought two. That means if you bought DC Batman you can post a combination of boxed and opened pics of up to three here. Anymore than three will get the post deleted. If you bought another copy of the same DC Batman toy that does not constitute as a different toy and does not earn you three new photos. The moderation team considers that spamming and will be deleted. Text link to an external photo gallery if you have more than three pictures to share. 2). Image size: Height maximum per toy will now be set to 2400pixels for 3 pictures combined. That means one high resolution picture at 2400pixels or three decent resolution picture of 800pixels each.
