Though, I only remembered to bring my digicam on sunday.

Anyway, without further ado, here's the photos.

Hope this literally works.

Here's my micro macross zero collection. (will definitely need to find a bigger space soon.)

Close-ups

For me, probably Hasegawa kits, since they are the next best representation when it comes to scale and details. Of course, I would need to paint them correctly in the first place.

GitS: SAC and also SAC 2nd GiG.

For mai-hime, it can be considered, but do note that its of a totally different genre.

I am on firefox 2.0.0.3. running on Win2K Sp4. Totally, no problems.

It was the low-vis version 1 of the VF-1.

But my first yamato toy, is the 1/60 VF-0S, followed by the VF-0A.

Late starter, though am looking forward for Shin's version and the SV-51.

Did a pre-order with one of my local toy stores, here's hoping nothing goes wrong with this toy, like my VF-0A.

I can't do much comparison since my other figures are of 1/6 scale, but to date, it's one of the figures that bears much likeness to the anime motoko.

I am slightly disappointed with the workmanship in paint work, some smudges and dots of other paint colour on mine.

In brief...

- This figure is quite light for it's height and size.

- The company that produces it is rumoured to have shutdown it's operations.

- Apart from HLJ, this figure is sold out mostly.

- The detailing, shading, are very well done.

- Although, most collectors have found the colour of the hair to be too light, I find that it's just nice.

Anyway, this is the figure that I really don't mind splurging on. It's got all the details of the of Major from the TV series GitS:SAC 2nd GiG. The only thing lacking now is probably a tachikoma in the same scale and the rest of section 9. I wonder if another company might do up Batou as a 1/7 figure?

Just got this today after it's launched in Japan early this year. Been waiting for it for so long. :sweat:

Here's some pics of it.

The box.

Without further ado, the out-of-box pics...

The clockwise views of Motoko.

Mine's left over right too.

Just started on macross collecting. So it's abit weird for me to use the template.

Nice... I though it was kit-bashed using existing kenner or hasbro figures, then I realized my mistake upon spotting those articulated hands.

Actually, for the rear landing gear, I find that wriggling it left to right as one lifts it out, works quite well. Since in my case, it's the hinged covers that hinders it.
