VOTOMS

Votoms Plastic Model World will be held on the 15 of March. This will probably be when Wave will announce their next 1/24 AT, I hope Bandai also makes some announcements as well!

true, but remember that anime in 1980's where drawn by hand so extra detailing or marking would be a lot of work!

Even modern anime is very light on markings and they usually don’t exact all. Newer gundam shows and Macross or whatever, and you may be lucky to see an emblem. All that 3D cg stuff and it still isn’t there other than extremely rare cases.  I don’t know if the new Votoms stuff will have much as far as markings or just go bare minimum

Speaking of FATTY markings 😱 With some colours you can turn it into a Gundam! 🤣

Can anyone explain what is up with this figure I found on Mandarake? The HMR FATTY is clear but a vinyl figure with zero articulation and 0 features going for 5000 yen more then the HMR is, for me unexplainable!? 

I wouldn't even want the figure for free! 🤔

Vinyl collectors are a whole different beast from toy collectors, believe me.

I’d take him for free. I’d put him on a shelf and tell him he’s “a lil special” everyday. Might even give him a lil pat on the head

Just a small note to people who own the Hi-Metal R (STTC) that people might not have noticed!?

But if you shine a light into the leg vents, there is a silver coloured grill visible that you don't notice otherwise! 😉

It's nice that small details like this are added although you can hardly see it! 👍🏻
