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.

So what I’m hearing here is that mine could be shipping soon??
-
Awesome, it is a solid valk.
-
Apparently I’m giving some folks a little anxiety…..
-
Absolutely! From a business perspective, that was probably cheaper. Positive customer experience? Thats a bingo! Sadly from the same business perspective, they cant do it for everyone. But its cool as hell that he got a whole new one.
-
Im surprised because they pretty told me to frakk off, we are out of the parts and and you are screwed. I also bought it from the TN storefront on Amazon that they claim to know nothing of. Whatever.
-
Yeah, always saw you. got a nice gold watch or something like that. Nah, they dont put any thought into it. My direct boss at least took me out for lunch.

So I my employer decided to recognize me for 20 years of service, which they valued at $10 a year. I took it as an Amazon gift card and decided to be irresponsible and buy a VF-171EX Armored Nightmare Plus. First impressions is it’s a damn solid Valkyrie, little smaller than I expected. Easier transformation than some others. Kinda wish the missile launchers opened, but over all I’m quite happy with it. MOD NOTE 1). Maximum uploads of 3 pictures of a toy even if you bought two.

I'm still salty about getting an opened box that was sold as new with the damn antenna missing. I hope the person that did that poops their pants in a very public setting.
-
Thanks, I hate it. it’s silly, so I kinda like it.
-
I ghotta say it seems like a solid "toy" for the price. Can't say I have really seen anything negative about it and I don't thhink I would hate one on my shelf.....
-
You make a couple of good points, and if I was sure I had all of my packaging, sure I'd throw a bit of a fit for myself. But I might have thrown out some of the packaging and the price has only dropped $4 since I bought it, so not worth much more of a fuss. However, Im gonna take note of that amazon number, and everyone else should for instances like this. I would have been perfectly cool if they said let us send another and if that one is acceptable, you can send the other back or keep it so we dont have to deal with this with anyone else. However this does give me an opportunity to reach out to my local community and find a new friend with a 3d printer that would print a few things for a donation of resin. If Bandai responds to the pic and link, I'll post it up here.
-
Thats pretty damn sweet!
-
As it’s been two months, I doubt Amazon will do anything at this point in time. I responded and sent them a screenshot of the “fake” storefront on Amazon. If I want an antenna at this point in time, I either need to do what some jackass did to mine, 3D print it or just not give AF. I mean I’m already used to not seeing it on mine.
-
Yeah, I’ll prob try to find someone to print me one and maybe one of those ghost drones too.
-
Well I guess that’s my answer. Oh well.
-
I just keep telling myself that technically it could show up tomorrow. It probably wont, bit it could.
