derex3592 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I hate you simply because of the awesome way you hid the simply hideous bottom shelf of the Klingsbo! Care to share how you went about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barurutor Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 picked up a bunch of VF-1 hands and shoulder hinges during the last Shapeways sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Thanks Abbadon! I've been occasionally moving things around to make things look a little more interesting. I feel it's slowly getting there.. Might borrow some ideas to display my collection!!! Great poses and very clean looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Thought I'd post up some pics of my updated displays after the re-shuffle.. packed a few doubles away to help avoid excessive clutter. Hope you guys like em! *snip* Needs more VF-17 Valkyries. That is a great display. I really like the Emerald Force shelf.

spanner Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I hate you simply because of the awesome way you hid the simply hideous bottom shelf of the Klingsbo! Care to share how you went about that? Hehe! yep those cabinet bases are horrendous aren't they! First thing I did when I got them was cover them over! All I did was cut out a section of either sheet steel or lexan (used a combination of both across all 6 cabinets I currently have) and gave them a few coats of paint with some spray can satin black. Worked a treat and you don't see that awful flowery patter. Geez Ikea what were you thinking!?!? Might borrow some ideas to display my collection!!! Great poses and very clean looking. Thanks mate! and yes by all means go for it! Needs more VF-17 Valkyries. That is a great display. I really like the Emerald Force shelf. Well yeah cos VF-17's are kinda icky.. I have thought about getting at least a VF-17S a few times but they just don't "do it for me" if you know what I mean.. Thank you for the compliment! And yes I had to setup the Emerald Force display! How could you not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchieNov Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yesterday this arrived from NY Super Robot Chogokin grendizer + Spazer Only took a pic of Grendizer, since im out of space, but ill took one complete soon enough. Oh, didn't realize that the SRC Grendizer that came along with the Spazer had recolored biceps, thighs and waist. On the original release they were silver. Now they look white.

ArchieNov Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I find it kinda silly that the engineering on some of these 3rd party transformers toys surpass those of the official TakaraTomy/Hasbro line. If I was TakaraTomy/Hasbro, I'd hire their designers haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) So July was a super expensive month. I got the: VF-19ADVANCE VF-171 Itasha VF-1J GBP MB GoldFrame SRC GaoFighGar FansToys Sever TF Cloud Shockwave FansProject Quake But out of all of these I think the toy I played the most with is a $3 Mega Blocks Halo Minifig I got out of a blind bag. These are just so fun to play with and I want more!!!! At least the two with the energy swords from the Bravo Wave. I also really like the Cloud Shockwave. The vibrant purple color just pops. I haven't read the packed in comic yet (that is Japanese with English subtitles) so I'm not sure if Hellwarp is enough of a Skywarp homage to get it for my Skywarp collection. [edit:] Seems I'm out of luck. On page 4 of the comic it states that: "Megatron evolved his man Skywarp into Hellwarp with his paranormal power." Oh well.... ....I really like that the comics have English text in them. Something I always missed from the Alternity comics.

sixtybucks Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Been bitten by the TF bug and I'm trying to keep it under control but it's too much fun! Really dig the difference in size between these two, Optimus is one big mofo! I still feel that his shoulder articulation could have been better... but still awesome! @ChaoticYeti Sweet Devastator!

no3Ljm Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Great purchases everyone! My haul this month. Play Arts Kai FFVII Advent Children Cloud Strife. Microman Chirico Cuvie. Takara DMZ-05 Scopedog Turbo Custom. I really like my first Takara DMZ Scopedog even though it's hard to balance it. I know I'm late into this game, but this one is still worth it. I prefer it over the Yamato one due to weathering and tampo. Size wise it's really perfect with the rest of my collections. Now waiting for DMZ-02 and another Microman Chirico Cuvie figure since the one I bought didn't came with the pilot helmet head so I bought a different version.

brouken Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Just to add to the MP-10 re-issue madness :I ordered the Red Alternity Prime/Convoy from Mandarake a while back, but had waited for the release of the MP-10 re-issue to open it so that I could put them side by side.It's no Knight Rider scene, but man, I've always wanted to have a trailer truck with a car inside! Now I have transforming ones too! Woot!The Alternity Prime/Convoy is scaled perfectly with the MP-10. Once I get over my laziness, I'll transform the Alternity Prime/Convoy to have it man the combat deck on the MP-10's trailer. Even the Spike Witwicky figure of the MP-10 fits snugly into the cockpit of the Alternity Prime/Convoy! Which is why I bought it in favor over the Masterpiece Sideswipe, which I understand, cannot accommodate a figure inside. These Prime/Convoy figures are just BOSS.

Recently got into S.H.Figuarts myself. Slippery slope... I was considering collecting TF MPs, but I decided Macross take priority so no MPs. My entire S.H.Figurarts collection consists of 3 Tokusatsu characters and their motorcycles. Good luck to you, they are not too expensive, but there are many of them. I am very much interested in Takara/Tomy Diaclone Reboot, that is going to cause some serious hurt combined with Macross and camera gear. My bank account is going to take a beating.

Yup, I agree, Macross takes priority, that's why I only have the season 1 Autobots so far. Problem with Macross is that I also collect media stuff such as Blurays and CDs, which are just as expensive as the toy valks, so yeah, no respite for my bank account as well.

no3Ljm Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 That is one big box for an action figure. How tall is the PlayArts Kai Cloud? He stands almost 11in. Based on the info it's 277mm. So it's 10.91in. He's pretty big. I wonder how tall Sephiroth is going to be if ever Play Arts decides to make a Kai version of him. I didn't expect this figure is going to be huge. I bought the PA Kai Dissidia Cloud Strife before so I could display it together. But the Dissidia one is now so small to look at. Anyways, wish they will make a Sephiroth soon.
