logos Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I don't know, considering all the articulation you got with the Tomahawk I thought $80-$90US was fine. I did not like the Defender as much but it is still a good toy. My mistake on the Defender was not waiting for the OD green version to come out. That OD green color on my Tomahawk is just awesome. I would love to see a Phalanx and a Spartan but lets face it. Yamato can't milk the molds like they did on the VF-1s so I doubt we are going to see them. Much to my disappointment. I thought the Destroids where comparable to the VF-1s 1/60s and are worth the price IMO. Heck I even bought a Spartan model kit I wanted one so bad.....Then I put it together.....ugh is the only word when you put it next to one of the Yamato destoids. As far as I am concerned you get what you pay for. When you see how much these toys are so much better over the model kits they are worth the price I think. I know I shouldn't compare the two but the $80 toy really does outshine the $20 dollar model kit. Enough that I think it warrants the price difference.

Loop Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow, this thread rose from the dead I only own the olive drab versions of both toys. I would love to have a phalanx and a spartan. If Yamato is really concerned, maybe they should just make them exclusives. At least then the people that really want them can order them.

arrow Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I own both drab olive of both toys as well. I love it since I like leaving the VF in plane mode and destroids beside them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae_productions Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 This weathered tomo of mine is quite a fav in my collection, this and my own tv cf-1a are the bees knees right now! I first thought the whole weathered thing was silly. But man, when you see one in person, they are the shyt. I own all 4 of the weathered Destroids. I am hoping they release the Phallanx and the Gladiator one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
