Very nice!! I've been temped to get these for a while now, what scale are they?

Technically non-scale but it's around 1/144 scale, maybe 1/170? Not a big toy but it's very poseable. The missile hatches open and the cockpit can be opened to reveal Klan sitting inside.

Love these Q-Rheas as well. They are pretty fun to play with, although the hip joints can be a bit too loose out of the box. Here's a pic of partial display I set up for them:

Mine's still sitting in my Pile O' Loot at BBTS. Soon he will face the Thing.😁

It's a good Hulk figure.  I just wish the heads were a little bit lighter green.

Thanks :hi:

 

These old Yammies 1/48 arrived separately but on same day. Always chuckle a bit seeing the size of these boxes compared to Bandai's similarly sized Chogokin VF-1..

I wasn't planning on getting any canon-colored valks at all from this line, but Hikaru's at only Yen 6000 from Mandarake is just too good to pass up. Even though fit & finish is not as good as the succeeding Yammie v2 1/60 VF-1s, for a 20-year old release it is still so much fun to handle in Fighter. Everything can be locked together properly, and easy to swoosh around. Can't say that for a certain other, very recently released magenta colored valk. :rolleyes:

Still, for a 20-year old design, the underside shows its age, with head and arms hanging down too low. Nevertheless, landing gear detail is still the best till today of all the VF-1 toys out there..

Nice! I only had a couple of Yamato 1/48s from back in the day before I sold them to make way for the newer 1/60 versions, but for only 6000 yen I would have definitely picked them up from Mandarake had I seen them.

They're definitely a little dated and that battroid mode looks a bit dodgy, but in fighter they still look great even next to Bandai's DX.

DX VF-31AX Mirage.

Oh my...  that looks so good!

*sigh*  Am I going to have to start collecting Macross toys again?  This might just be my first Macross purchase since I finished my PhD, got married, and became a mom. 

Also, hi again!  Been away from MWF for about a year, but hoping to pop back in a bit more often.

I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well.
