Are there any good online reviews of this yet? I searched but didn't see any . . .

Why aren't they just calling it Robot Spirits? Isn't that what these are?

DarrinG replied to master of macross's topic in Toys
I might try to replace my Millia one if I had a perfect rainbow canopy as a donor . . . -
EPIC! Would love to see a pic with a 1/60 Tomahawk or Defender at its feet . . .

Was that made by Evolution Toys? : O

The rainbow effect looked awesome, too bad it failed . . . -

My Millia canopy is messed up, but not Max. I really like the rainbow look too - wish I could swap hers out for a less ( or no ) cracked rainbow. . . -
Yeah - Mods - LOCK this thread. I hate seeing it in the New Content listings even. This question leads to LESS Macross collecting and support (if we had our heads on straight) (and I think we know the answer there)

I think I'm going to create a few posts for fun like this one. How about: "Have M&M V2 set, am selling cheap to move them fast, will post in a minute . . ." and "Found a pile of original Macross cels, up for grabs for a buck a piece, will post pics today . . ." ______ Awww - let's cut some slack here though - it will be worth the build up!

It looks incredible - don't mind me! I was probably just trying to make myself feel better cuz I don't have one : /

On the custom 1J -- Looks amazing. But the panel line right behind the face visor needs just a touch of clean up to make it as thin and precise as the rest of the body. ( ducks as tomatoes are hurled his way . . . ) Its awesome as-is though too, obviously . . .

Took some pics today. Had a heck of a time getting him back into Orgroid after being in Flier. Still impressed. VERY stable. Floppy hip joints only bother me when I'm trying to change modes. Standing or posing had zero issues. Tabs locked solidly down in Flier. Pretty tight to whoosh around. No landing gear so it has to go on the stand . . .
-
Somebody do a poll - if I get over 50 orders I will crank it back up again. Still the same price: $9 each, or 3 for $21 - FREE SHIPPING
-
Yoiks! These are well worth the price IMO . . . http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN16057&mode=retail
-
Yes - very much so. But it does not affect how stable it stands, or anything else I've noticed so far...

Took it to GERWALK mode. Looks great. Tabs in forearms needed to lock tighter to the underbelly. Already in the habit of holding the arms against the belly to make sure they stay in. Outer calf armor should have have a small swing bar lock down mechanism. That fact that they compromised on this for tank mode, my least favorite, makes it even more annoying. Now that I see GERWALK, I'm OK with the painted green back bulb. A huge clear / green plastic dome would have competed with the cockpit too much. Really like the two-tone brown metallic on the feet. I see it in the middle of the engine intakes too. My GERWALK legs came out even on each side. Lots of die-cast IMO. Its hard to KEEP IT FROM standing up. Just set it down any old way and its stable. My first try at the stand made me think this figure is too hefty for that spindly stand. Anyone walks in the room and he'll be hobbling too and fro - for a while. I'll try to take some pics next week. So far, I'd give this a 8.8 to 9.1 rating all around . . . Better paint apps, better click-ins to solidify the modes would have helped.
