no3Ljm Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 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. Hikaru Ichijo Flight Suit. Not too fond on the head on this one but the suit rocks. Esp the helmet. 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.

abbadon Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Fantastic purchases guys! Those look interesting, no3l! Tempting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorindor Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 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.

spanner Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Well done Derex! I gotta say Ozma's colors are the best of the 29! Isamu's is a close 2nd.. In fact I think the Ozma colors are best for both 25 & 29! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) 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. 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. 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. 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.

ChaoticYeti Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna order one of those and save the stickers. 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.. Yes to the kite! 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? 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!

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.
