Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
no3Ljm replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It's made by MegaHouse. 1/8 scale Gundam Guys Generation (GGG) static figure. Released last year. It's just too bad it's becoming a little bit pricey on a second market. But Nippon-Yasan (and posted by Dizman, HLJ has it too) has it for a preorder for Feb 2019. But it's a different paint application version. I'm thinking of getting one this time. -
Ok. I guess, it's my turn to vent out something. Well, it's more of like a funny experience to me. I think. First time happened to me. I know at the end of a day, it's a little bit frustrating since it involves a big amount of money. But I just don't want to think about it too seriously. So I'm keeping my cool. Three weeks ago, I bought the cheapest DX YF-19 I could find over eBay at $230 shipped from China. Last I checked my tracking it was delivered at my work's mail facility last Saturday. After not getting it from Monday to Tuesday, I panicked. So I browsed My eBay last night and check it again. Yeah, it was shipped and delivered according to it. So now, for curiosity sake, I went back to the seller's feedback page and see if there's anyone besides me who bought the rest of his '5' DX YF-19 units (6 got sold within a day or two when I purchased mine.), assuming they already received theirs ahead of me has left some feedbacks already. And lo and behold, there's one stating 'Paid $230 figure but the seller send me a small plastic box. Cheater!'. I now have to panic, right? Nah. I still need to think positive. Besides, if I get it, it's going to be one cheap YF-19, right? Today, Wednesday morning. The reception said, there's a 'letter packet' that was waiting for me in the mailroom. I was like, a 'letter packet'? And when I saw it, it is indeed a 'letter packet mailer padded envelope'. (Say that 10 times faster. ) With the same tracking number that I'm following. Instinct kicks in. I said to myself I have to shoot a video while opening this and took pictures of it at the same time. And when I opened it... it wasn't a 'plastic box' like the other buyer received. It was a freaking Disposable Plastic Raincoats. That's right with an 's' coz I got two! For $230, I got 2 Disposable Plastic Raincoats. It would've been nice if the raincoats have printed Makina pictures on it. Anyways, the ending is that, I already did file for a Full Refund. And if the seller didn't respond up to Oct 30, then eBay will take over. On a side note though, I woke up this morning with an email stating I won a bid for an opened DX VF-31A last night at YJA. Once again, it was the 'cheapest' one I could find. And yes, I did check the seller's feedback and it's a 75/25 ratio. So cross fingers.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
no3Ljm replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hey Ignacio. Actually it was @eXis10z who posted it first. And you can display it with this figure. Because, why not? Right? He looks awesome.

The wing is detached for repairs. You can tell it even if the shot has a perspective. The wing root housing area is a little bit higher from the lower part of the folded wing. It would've made more sense if the folded wing is a little bit or positioned leveled with the wing root housing (the plane center body horizon line).

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
no3Ljm replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That's from the new December issue of Hobby Japan magazine, right? Now, I regret not getting the RX-78 Origin. Hehehe. -
These Macross Frontier 10th Anniversary In Art really looks cool. If we could only have a clear and bigger shot of the red signature on the bottom, I'm pretty sure that's the name of the artist. Or you can ask Seto. Maybe he knows.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

Life is short is all I can say. -
I don't think by using Yamato's Fold Booster's adaptors is not going to fit on the DX YF-19. Both have different sets. I think the safe best if you want to use Yamato's Fold Booster is to make your own adaptors.

The Official Robot Spirits (Tamashii/Damashii) Thread
no3Ljm replied to Cyclone Trooper's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
A new Metal Robot Damashii (along with a GFFMC figure) to be revealed at the Tamashii Nations 2018 Event this weekend October 26-28, 2018. http://blog.livedoor.jp/nation2018/archives/12809821.html
-
Everyone are just waiting and speculating. Like I said a page or two ago, it might be before, during, or after the Tamashii Nation event which will be held this weekend.
-
I rather see something that both companies hasn't touched yet. VF-5000 Star Mirage. VF-3000 Crusader. VF-9 Cutlass. In DX forms.
-
I'm not sure if there's some bunches selling it. But if you just need a pair, I guess you can just get those cheap KO Figuarts Body Kun/Chan figures and get the wrist joints out from them.

'Gaohku' is what makes Macross Barukiri's unique.

Taobao? Perhaps, AliExpress?

I totally agree on how Bandai's engineering team handles those folding and stuff just to have the whole thing compress. I appreciate those things even though some parts of it kind of felt like overengineered. And still manages for messing up the gap between the legs and the arms in fighter mode. They should've atleast put some folding locking tabs in there. Plus the wing roots not tabbing or not aligned on the locking tabs when the Fast Packs are attached in the legs. And I can't help wonder how they're going to do the same thing on a DX YF-21 if ever they're planning on doing it. However it is, I'm guaranteeing it that I will get 2 of it.

Yamato made the chest look better by making the fuselage (folded canopy underneath) a little bit shorter in Battroid mode. Hence, it made the body cover potrudes a little bit longer. While Bandai makes it flatter like the lineart itself. Part of me would love to see it so it will have wide range of shoulder articulation. But part of me also doesn't want to see it because that 'housing' is so big and long (in side profile) that it will look awkward to have it rotated. I really don't mind if Bandai does it actually just to make it stand out from its 1/60 predecessor. But if it's not going to look good for me, then I'm not going to bother on rotating it. Just sayin'.
-
Then I really feel bad about YamArcadia for not trying to do it beforehand. And also, because the other forms was really never got animated properly, Bandai manages to get some rights on producing it on their HMR. Literally, re-engineered what Yamato did on small scale and slap the right color and markings what fans wanted. Instant hit.
-
When you guys says the shoulder should have articulation, meaning the whole 'housing' should rotate somehow? YamArcadia has shoulder articulation and its movement is limited due to the 'housing'. And even though there will be shoulder articulation, I think its range of movement is still going to be limited due to the wings folded on the side, plus the folding flap on the rear portion of the shoulder. Unless ofcourse, they make the whole 'housing' rotates.
-
Ok. Out of curiosity. Now Bandai somehow acquired a 'right' to have the FB2012 scheme in 1/100 scale. What's stopped Arcadia from doing it prior on their 1/60 scale? And since this is the HMR thread, I'll just end my post with -- that VF-4 looks super gorgeous.
-
Hahaha! And I thought you're already used on us whining for something all the time. After all, this is MacrossWorld.
-
Edited for yah.
-
I have to agree. At this scale, I really can't justify the price. But I'll let this one slip. After all, it's the VF-4 FB2012. Yeah. Kinda looks like it, huh? Or probably it's just an angle thing? I'm just thinking of two. Now I'm getting competitive. 3 then. Same here. Those chocolate colors really threw me off last night. But that's not something to stop us from getting three, right? Here's hoping that it's easy to disassemble to paint them afterwards. If it's a general release, then yes, HLJ and the rest will have it. Just based on the magazine scan, I don't see any TWE logo nor words that says one. Bandai is the new Apple for toys. Probably in a week or two. Or probably during or after the Tamashii event. Btw, I did tried to adjust the color on the scan just to estimate the overall look for both pages. And yes, there's still too much Chocolate.
-
Nobody can really say how many are out there. We can probably get the tally just from this forum. But I'm sure our numbers here are probably less than what? 50? 100? We couldn't even get an actual reason from Bandai as to why the production is less, more so getting the numbers of the actual production.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
no3Ljm replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Finished watching Lupin III Part 5 series. Didn't like some revelations on Lupin but it did end well. Hoping for a Part 6. Captain Tsubasa (2018) on the other hand entered the next chapter (High School), which I basically missed out when I was still in Japan back in the mid 80's. It's just so nice to relive and watch one of my all-time favorite animes (re-animated) again. -
Wow! Lots of chocolate joint colors. Now it kind of threw me off. Compared to ‘colored’ lineart:
