That looks cool, but what's that red aircraft from? Looks familiar, but I can't seem to place it...
-
That Isamu looks better then the YF-29 version. Definite buy!

Lolicon replied to VF-18S Hornet's topic in Toys
Finally got around to decaling up my VF-25F after putting it off for about... 5 years. As usual the decals are a combination of Hasegawa, 3rd party, and homemade decals (scanned Yamato sticker sheets reprinted as decals). A bit of weathering added, but seeing as Alto went through three or four of these babies, I figured it shouldn't be too dirty and still look new. I'll save the heavy weathering for Ozma. Attempted to repaint Alto to be more anime accurate, but man the molding quality of these Bandai pilot figures is just terrible. Sorry for the so-so quality of the pics; the only camera I have is my phone. I'll snap some gerwalk and battroid pics when I get home later tonight.

Yeah, it's the bottom front joint. The one on the right is cracked on both sides. The one on the left has cracked on only one side. Right one is my first 25F so it's the one that's been played with and transformed the most. The left one has only been transformed once or twice. EDIT: Whoops, got them reversed. Left one is my original, right is the newer one.
-
So I did some disassembly on a couple of my 25Fs and found that the joint holding the neck up had started cracking. Just FYI for everyone.

I've simply refuted the postulate that NY offers the same shipping rates as HLJ. Everything else mentioned does not change that. As the end consumer, I could care less about whatever special deals or lack thereof each shop has with shipping companies. All that matters to me is "how much" and "can you ship it to me in a reasonable time frame?" The answer seems to be a "no" on that second question.
-
I said "many" not "most" live in the other hemisphere. And a lot of us do. Would you like me to start a poll so we have more concrete numbers? That said, the statement that NY offers the same shipping costs as HLJ is still an Alternative Fact.

My Yamato 0S shoulders exploded long ago. My 51 is just really floppy.
-
I'm looking forward to Ivanov's 51 and possibly Nora's. Aside from floppiness issues, I couldn't afford more than one of the Yamato versions back then. Now... bring on the 51s, stratospheric Arcadia pricing be damned!
-
Why isn't it fair to compare them? The postulate that was given was that NY shipping is the same as HLJ. That is categorically false. HLJ EMS shipping for Golion was only marginally more than FedEx. On a side note, like many others it's pretty rare for me to ship only one item from HLJ. I usually won't ship till near the end of 60 days when I have tons of stuff, which further drives down the cost of shipping.
-
That goes without saying when it comes to shipping. I'm sure someone living in Japan pays less from either company. Many of us live in the other hemisphere, so this is quite relevant to a lot of people.

The SQ game prize figures are larger than the tiny Figuarts Zero figures. Recently picked up SQ Kaname so I'd have it to go with Messer's 31F. I usually am disappointed when I open an SQ figure, but surprisingly I really like this one.
-
Some people must be using Donald Trump math. Shipping cost for Golion from HLJ: Shipping cost for Golion from NY: As I've said many times before, NY has some pretty steep shipping rates.
-
I'd buy it at that price if it was a completed toy. How much more expensive could that possibly be? It's not like it transforms and has like one moving part.
-
I want it now!
-
Yeah show 'em what an angry Aussie is like!
-
Hot damn that's one sexy bird! Transform it! Transform it!

The shoulder joints are good so far. I haven't done much to work them out, of course. Time will tell but I think they'll hold up.
-
-
Yeah it comes with a sticker sheet.
-
Stuck mine together and snapped a few quick pics. I didn't read the manual so I'm not 100% sure if I have everything securely fastened. She's a real beast though! I don't think even Ozma's armor was this beefy. Missiles are the same kind of pinkish white as newer Arcadia valks, as already noted. I'd like to add some decals and panel detailing one of these days. The 31J is a puny kicker versus the RA linebacker!
-
Thanks! I used mainly Hasegawa decals, but also used some HiQ decals and self-printed ones. She's finally here! Will post some suited up pics a little later.
-
Yeah that's just really pathetic. Preparing a shipment should not take as long as the actual SAL transit time.
-
RA on the Fedex truck for delivery, so I finally liberated my second 0S from the package in preparation. I'd forgotten just how, er, clean it looks out of the box. Also forgot what an ordeal it was to open the rear landing gear bay doors...
