I hope the final version has that tinted canopy! Still has the Takatoku chest stripes though. Boo!
-
Umm was the pilot that tiny in the previous TV HM release?
-
Just paid for orders from Ami, HS, and HLJ all at once, including two Glaugs. My wallet is a lot thinner today!
-
You should definitely get the HMR Max & Miria! I'll help you out by taking those worthless, vastly inferior Yamato versions off your hands.

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

Looks fantastic, Saburo! I always felt that the Isamu 29 had the best looking head unit. -
It was already pretty obvious that the V1 VF-25 was going to be crap from the promo pics, before it even came out. And they turned out even worse than anticipated. I think Bandai has learned from that and is capable of actually putting out a decent valkyrie toy on the first try now.
-
I only just now noticed that the Tomy Tech kits are prepainted and only need to be assembled. I preordered all of the Delta kits available. Hoping the final product looks as good as the promo pics.
-
That Alto looks fantastic with the flat coat! I have the same issue with flat coats: they scratch very easily.
-
They're supposed to be the "DYRL" versions of Max & Miria.
-
I want an 海猫 plushie, dammit!
-
Some of you guys sound like cats. More interested in the box than the toy.
-
Same reason the 1J pilot is wearing the wrong flight suit. Bandai cutting corners again.
-
Yes, Bandai had better continue the use of matte finishes they started with the YF-30 and VF-19. The gloss finish makes all their previous valkyries (even the renewals) look cheap next to my Yamato valkyries.
-
VT-1, VE-1, Max & Miria... and I know full well that Arcadia is going to announce a reissue the day after I finally crack and drop like $500 each on them.

Yeti does it again! I really liked the Armored Klan figure from Mega House, but I absolutely hated the rickety triple stand system it used. It was a pain getting everything lined up and leveled, and god help you if you should ever need to move the damn thing. No more! The new beta stand was just what I needed to breathe new life into a figure I had given up on and put away into storage. And the SMS etching is icing on the cake! Best stands ever.

If you use flightpose stand, you have to be super careful that the rubbery tips are not in contact with any painted surfaces on your valkyrie. I don't know what the hell it's made of, but it will eat through paint if left in contact with it. Be aware that even the clear jewel parts are often painted too. Heck, I left my old Hi Metal VF-19 on a flightpose stand just for 1 day and it ate into the red plastic and left some visible marks. I don't recommend flightpose stands at all. Do yourself a favor and get some Yeti stands!

For the love of god do not use any chemicals to strip the tampo unless you want to strip the white stripe off too. Number 3 is the safest solution.

Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

You forgot to flip the chest covers down. -
Releasing Delta HMR toys now would undercut their DX sales. Why would Bandai do that to themselves? Maybe in a few years when the DX line is done.
-
Yeah it's easy to remove. You have to remove a screw under the pitot tube and another inside the landing gear bay. Then it just comes right apart in the middle.
-
Yup! That's why I have 3 (or was it 4?) Ozmas and 6 Altos.
-
Clear nail polish also works well. Just open up the joint and apply to the ball and socket.
-
I'm sure your cat's only regret was that you weren't standing directly underneath he knocked it over.
-
Probably too many problems with factory workers installing them backwards. Which is much worse than having SMS printed upside-down, IMO.
-
Thanks! I had the feeling that anime52k8 might have been only person on the forums that didn't take itasha schemes as a personal affront. Just to be clear, I'm not painting or detailing this thing in any way. Just snapping it together and slapping on the stickers. I can't go through the same crap that I did working on the Frontier kits again! Well, maybe I might paint the canopy frame, but that's all! But if you want to pay for shipping to Australia, sure! How right you are! Bandai's decals are some of the worst I've worked with! Way worse than even my homemade inkjet printed decals! Yup! It'll be my poor man's DX till the real thing comes along.
