I don't feel the need to seek out on official one but will look closer at the descriptions in future. I have 2 Predator figures on the way I now realise are knockoffs, hopefully I'm as satisfied with them as I am here. either way lesson learnt Neca released a HL gordon?! dangit...is the KO version a recent release? Ok am seeing on ebay....and neca had a re-release of it too 2 months ago,...thanks for the post! Edited July 17, 2018 by seti88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the 19F, not the S. Pretty happy with the price... but I have no shelf space for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-19(plural) I feel you on the no shelf space, I've got 24 figures sitting in boxes, waiting for me to move to somewhere I can display them all. 14 of those are 1/60 Macross as well.

If the Macross heroine figures continues, they should add May Fong Lone (from Macross +), Milla (DYRL, Macross 7), Mirage [and possibly Miku Miku and Fre Fre] (Delta). You mean Kumo Kumo. They ought to continue the line with all the Walkure but the Delta figure releases have been pretty anemic whereas we're still getting Sheryl & Ranka figures 10 years on.

I really should not be spending money on more valkyries..... but.... PRIME DAY! Free shipping! Fulfilled by Amazon Listed as being in New condition And these are priced at about 25,000 yen from Mandarake, AmiAmi, and such... P.S. At the time I placed my order, it said there was 1 more left. I was ALMOST tempted to just order both. But that would just be too excessive. Maybe someone here on MWF will pick it up. P.P.S. Hmmm..... maybe this is not actually a PRIME DAY sale, and just a normal price markdown? Not sure.... the VF-19F has been on my Amazon watch list for quite a whiles, and I just ordered it when I saw the price drop today. Well, regardless... I am not going to complain. I am just anxious to receive my shipment on Thursday. That’s an AMAZING deal on a 19F. Nice score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked getting the Yamato 1/60 VF-19 Kai from YJA for 13,000 yen.... but Buyee's proxy and shipping fees really turned a $120 purchase more into a $170 one. So, the fact that I get Amazon Prime's free 2 day shipping of a new product (rather than a used toy as was the case with my VF-19 Kai), I am happy as a kitty cat resting on a student's textbook and homework assignment... *sigh* Edited July 17, 2018 by Shizuka the Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommar Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 It is a bit of a letdown too. There's ZERO ankle rocker, which makes posing far harder. But you can do some pretty cool looking Spider-man-like crouching poses considering what a bulky figure it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not too concerned about it, just glad it is possible to get a good looking pose out of it as you proved. I bought the wave for most the other figures in it and the BAF really is just a bonus instead of incentive for me in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reviewer on Youtube who goes by chefatron who, IMO, is the best at posing and I will go back and reference his videos to get ideas. It's a weird wave. I really wanted a lot of the figures. Cloak looks amazing but he's just a statue. There's a guy who makes a wired cloth cloak you can use on him instead that looks great if you want to drop another $30 to make him poseable. Doctor Octopus looks AMAZING but non-poseable arms is a big disappointment. It was almost a perfect figure, the definitive version of Doc Ock, all it needed was bendy arms. Electra looks good but we need better female bucks. And having swappable hands so she could hold her sai in different arrangements would have been welcome.

sh9000 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Congrats @Mommar for getting your figures. I only wanted Cloak, Dagger, Elektra, and Doc Ock from that wave. Ultimate Wolverine and Doc Ock are coming from Dorkside and their supplier is slow (including the X-Men wave) but if I find them cheaper I’ll be sure to cancel from them. I’ve seen people customize Doc Ock to have poseable arms but just like customizing Cloak, it will cost extra. Nice Loki @Slave IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, @Shizuka the Cat, congrats on a great pickup, I'm amazed to see the VF-19F for anything less than the original retail price, let alone through Amazon. The S-model got multiple runs, and was really easy to find on clearance, but the both the F and P versions got comparatively shortchanged on production runs before Yamato went under, and were much harder to come by. That one and the P are probably my favorite Yamato molds, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
