Finally, my second VF-19 Advanced arrived today from Nippon-Yasan along with some RobotechStore purchases. ;)

Happy to see that the underbelly plate is not crooked as my first one from HLJ. ^_^

Hikaru Ichijo Normal Suit from PopBox. Love the face. :wub:

Hikaru Ichijo Flight Suit. Not too fond on the head on this one but the suit rocks. Esp the helmet. B))

I might say, just for the helmet, the 50% OFF on this figures is really really worth it. ;)

I'm planning on buying a second Normal Suit Hikaru so that I could replace the head on the Flight Suit. But when I get back to their site, the Normal Suit is already Sold Out. :rolleyes:

no3ljm, I got my Hikaru Flight Suit a few days ago too. Yeah, it looks great. But some stuff about it just infuriates me, like the visor popping off frequently, the belt was all greasy and just won't stay on, and the wrists are super flimsy and can't hold the helmet the way I want... I was able to remedy some things with a bit of sticky putty and I will test if the nail polish trick works for the wrists.

Caved in and got my 2nd 29. Love this paint scheme...with one minor nitpick of the black plastic swing arm going through the white skull. Gonna have to attempt a paint fix for that at some point. The more I look at the 29, the more I begin to think it's my new favorite fighter mode...so sexy.

Those look interesting, no3l! Tempting...

Thanks abbadon. Yeah, better get one while it's still available. ;) The normal suit is already sold out. And for the half-price, it's great.

Yup, had that problem too. Visor that keeps on popping out. Belt that's loose. Wrists, not a problem on mine. They're so tight. Already pulled the head from the Normal suit and put it in the Flight suit. Though I need to adjust the neck to sit it properly. Also by pulling the head, i accidentally broke the dog tag that came with it. Hardly noticed that there was a dog tag underneath the fabric collar. Hehehe. Which it's ok since it was hidden under the fabric collar. No regrets. Hehehe. :lol:

wow those hikaru ichijo figures are great, where i can get them?

I got it from the RobotechStore site. http://robotechstore.myshopify.com everything is on discount. grab one now. ;)

Finally got the TV Super parts! Now I've got all TV add-on for the VF-1. GBP and Super!

I don't get why they made the reaction missiles tips yellow when they are red in the TV series...

Great shots $60! Are the colors of the those super parts a little image trickery / magic? They look great nonetheless! B))

Those grey parts look phenomenal!!!

They do eh! ^_^

Haha, yeah, grey parts brought to you by Photoshop magic. I tend to do that, I find it more appealing. Wish I could do that in real life.

Right now I'm fighting the idea of putting the stickers on the super parts, they look so naked! argggh, are there any alternatives?

Yup, there is. And you're good at it. It's called Photoshopping. :D Hahaha! j/k

Great photos by the way, "$60". ;)

Picked up the RX78-02 reissue. I have to say, the quality of this guy is far above the Gundam Freedom, and Unicorn releases I picked up out of the Metal lines.

Nice RX-78-2, Yeti. ;) Is that the GFF The Origin release?

The effect worked great! The grey is a nicer color than what the supers come with!

And yes you definitely need to fit the either the kite or skull squadron logo's on the boosters.. Either would work but I think the kite logo would be better..

The kite is canon for the TV series. Though the irony is that no supers were on Hikaru's 1J in the show. His 1S did, though, and his 1A got it in the movies.

Love the markings on your 1J, by the way. Are those stickers?

Sweet! I'm gonna order one of those and save the stickers.

Yes to the kite!

Yep, kite is canon for TV and it should be an "S" really to portray the "Booby Duck". Might get one of those eventually to complete my "Hikaru on duty" collection! Oh and yes, went crazy with the stickers on the "J"... I think I used everything I could, went beyond the manual with extra reference materials.

Oh and thanks no3ljm!

Yeah, it is the origin release. It is pretty sweet. Lots of extras.

Cool. Love the RX-78-2 too. To be honest, I was kinda looking forward to get it released via the Metal Build line so that I can have an ultimate RX-78-2 figure. Btw, I also like the RX-78-2 from the Gundam Evolve Ep15. ;)

Redwood City!

What?! You probably live next door. Hahaha! :lol:

No way! Oh man, thought I was the only cool kid from RWC, all is lost! :p

Same here. Hahaha! Guess you're much cooler since you create cool images via Photoshop. Hehehe. :lol:

I spent my early childhood (from age 3-5) in Redwood City! Such a small, small world. San Mateo was where I discovered robo...Macross though! ;)

Hoping like crazy that my VF-19Advance arrives today from HLJ.
