Like that custom VF-1 

Hey thanks ... it was more of a "paint removal mod" than an actual mod of a 1/48 Yammie Angel Bird ... and it took waaay longer than expected w/Q-tips, ELO glycol ether, medical grade alcohol (99.9%) and being asked why do you have blue hands ... but I really like it too.

Oh wow I didn't realize that just an Angel Birds with the blue removed. Nicely done!

Never saw or heard these before, but gotta admit they are quite cool being Motoslave-esque. :good:

Yeah the Batwings look good to me.

Which one is the 89 version, the original movie toy with the fold out handle and suction dart launchers?  I always wanted one of those back then, but never got around to getting one. :lol: 

That new design isn't bad, not a terrible upgrade, but I think the "ear" prongs look a bit too spindly.

That would be the Toy Biz version.

Got one of these little guys recently and liked it so much I had to pick up two more.

It helped that three cost the same as they originally would have cost for one. Props to MEP for the integrity to not sell them at full price when he found their fit was not up to par but they still look nice. They even come with micronized yeti style stands. 😁

YEP! Just a warning and I think it is mentioned on the site, the tolerances are pretty poor for most joints so that’s why they ended up refunding the original preorders and reduced the price for those that still want them. All the ones I got are good enough to pose as I have them and I’m sure I could tighten them up with Future if needed but didn’t feel the need to. Letter, when I get space for a proper Mospeada display, I’ll probably be able to play with them more and then I’ll Future them up.

I also just received and opened  my S7 Joes and holy hell! I’ve always been about the comic and toys all day over the toon but these things just opened up a whole new level of giddiness I didn’t know I had in me.

I’m just not sure how it gets any better than this!

I like these so much I’m about to order Duke and anything else I didn’t already have ordered just because.

Yeah I think I'll have to be selective with the GI Joe Ultimates because there's going to be quite a few if they keep going.

Archi Stands.

Yeah, I did not think I would like them or want more but I'm pretty impressed and hope they DON'T make too much more because I don't want to deal with that many figures, lol!

Do you have any Yeti Stands to give an opinion comparison? I know these stands are thicker overall.
