The one that really works is with hydrogen peroxide. But eventually, the toy gets yellowed again.

I bet isopropylic alcohol will get rid of the tinting paint.

That is beautiful! I guess you used a combination of decals and stock stickers.

That happened to me once. You basically make to many passes in the panel line with the pencil to show up more. By the time you want it to look a bit weathered, you get smudges everywhere because of the excess accumulated in the line and the toy becomes a mess. Just clean it using a paper towel with isopropylic alcohol. Make one pass and avoid using the towel when it becomes dirty. Most important, don't pass the wet towel on the tampo marks or you will get a smudge with it.

More than 2,000 bucks worth of Frontier toys. Toys are beautiful, prices are horrible.
-
Try cleaning the excess with isopropylic alcohol. Just be careful not to rub the tampo markings.

I feel as Graham's comment. The VF-4 is a great valk but not one of my favorites. That's why I didn't pay that much money. Instead, I would pay same price for a v2 YF-19. Hope to see the prototype soon and release in a couple of months.

Is it safe to put the armor packs and leave the valk in battloid mode for a long period? My V1 Ozma suffered cracks due to the weight of the armor. Glad I sold it on time.

Yamato: VF-4G 1/60 Exclusiva Web
takatoys replied to Twoducks's topic in Juguetes, Modelos y Estatuillas
Se me pasó. Ojalá Yamato saque la misma versión para armar como el SDF-1. El precio influyó mucho no comprarlo, pero si lo reeditan, ahí sí no lo dejo pasar. -
You have to realize that the VF-25F was released more than a year ago and was sold out almost instantly. Don't worry, it will be reissued. We just have to be patient and wait.
-
You just have to wait and hope Bandai reissue it by October. Bandai will be busy using the VF-25 molds for Luca. After that one is released, there is a chance to start again with the Alto VF-25F and so on.

I want to make custom stickers for this valk. I will need not only a scan of the sticker sheet, but the toy too. Anybody who got more than two willing to sell me one at retail price?
-
I had to buy Ozma for Christmas. I could not resist US$300 from my local toy store. I had promised not to buy a valk of more than US$220. Since I was going to do an exception with the VF-4G and missed it, I went for Ozma and finally have it. I am pretty sure Alto and Ozma will be reissued, but Bandai will be busy using the molds for Luca's VF and maybe we will have to wait another year. And there is always the tedious task of getting one on pre-order. I am tired of that too.
-
Me too
-
I don't understand Bandai's selling strategy. They know by now that all the Frontier line is selling like hotcakes. Even at the high price, fans want 2 or 3 of the same valk. Why not releasing more? I was a bit upset to pay US$300 for Ozma recently, but even if Ozma gets reissued, chances are you won't get one.

Pilot name stickers - Maybe we can do some sort of custom sheet?
takatoys replied to Scream Man's topic in Toys
I might go back to the sticker business. I just dont like how Yamato did the black wing stickers without the skull printed in them. And I guess many want to do the Flashback scheme without ruin the original Yamato sticker sheet. Ohh, first I need to buy the VF-4, but I am short of money right now. -
I will deeply regret not buying this one, if it doesn't get reissued. My wallet can handle it at the moment.
-
Grab the VF-19 while you can. It's Yamato best valk; amazing transformation in all modes.

Skyfall, the next James Bond 007 Film
takatoys replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
For me, it was a well made movie but not really, really good. More drama than action, you always expect something really impressive from Bond that is at a certain point believable. But instead, there are some explosions here and there and lots of ammo wasted. Bond girl is hot but forgettable. The scene at the frozen lake is foolish, hard to believe. Very coward from Bond to kill the villain the way he did. What makes this an interesting movie for Bond fans is of course the old character names and the DB5 factor. Casino Royale is still the best Bond film to watch. -
Medicom/Hot Toys and all 1/6 scale figures
takatoys replied to EXO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I have some old Medicom Ultraman figures that come with vinyl body suits and they are holding fine. The rubber quality is very nice. It´has been 10 years already and no signs of deterioration. I can´t say the same about the leather fabric. My Vader, Kamen Rider and two other Medicoms had the leather suit desintegration. So, just stay away with Medicom figures that come with leather suit.
