Thanks Gakken! I have been able to shoot an MP10 and it is an awesome figure. In fact I have MP Optimus, Ultra Magus and Grimlock here in my apartment. They are on loan to me for a photoshoot.

Here's some 3P combiner love. :)

Megatron and his 2 minions.

Actually purchased this guy some time ago, but when I initially got him, I thought he looked terrible and kept him boxed up. Turns out Robocop only looks good when properly illuminated, like in the movie. :)

Out of the box, he looks flat and crappy, like this:

They look quite menacing! What brand are they and if you don't mind me asking how much were they? My son is still interested in getting a Godzilla figure of some sorts..

These are Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Monsterarts Godzilla figures.

The one I got today was the original with purple Spikes. You still can get the special color version on BBTS , Amazon, or ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/361329413388?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I've been wanting to get a MonsterArts Godzilla for years now but none of the previous versions really connected with me... Until I saw this one.

Now this is the Godzilla from my youth! He's the only one capable of the flying dropkick attack!

That is the deadliest move in his arsenal of attacks. :D

So I just purchased the Luca RVF-171EX last night coming from Japan. I'm a bit nervous on this one I hope I didn't make a bad choice because I paid 180 for it. I looked reviews on the other versions of the 171 and it seems this has issues of parts breaking. I probably should leave it alone in the box but I'm the type of person that wants photos of it. Any idea if they changed the issues on this version? Once I get it in I will post more pics

No way Spanner76 I just bought that last night. I love the RVF Valkyrie

The only 171 that has issues with parts breaking is the CF version. This one, along with the Alto and Maruyama versions, are generally fine.

The only area that you may need to take note of is how to twist the knees back when transforming from battroid to fighter. Chronocidal has mentioned this in several posts in the 171CF thread so it's not hard to miss.

Fixed that for you. If it was not hard to miss, it would be easy to miss. Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to make sure people don't get confused. English is hard even for native speakers (spell check and dictionary.com are my best friends, and I can speak English pretty well).

But yeah, I've had my VF-171 alto for over five months now, and I've transformed it probably a dozen times, swooshed it around, handled it, and no signs of cracking in the shoulder triangles, or broken knees, or anything really. Just that it's annoying to transform, and can be a bit of a bother to pose, and has some loose joint issues like the VF-25F Alto I have (I guess I really like Alto... no homo).

Just be careful and take your time with the transformation, and you'll have few issues (just the floppy joints).

Also, the Back panel clips into that neck guard piece at the top, which took me about 3 weeks to figure out. Just angle the tab into the neck panel and then rotate the back panel into place and you'll hear it snap in. You'll know what I'm talking about when you transform it the first time. Incidentally go to anymoon.com and Jenius has posted some really helpful transformation videos there in his toy reviews. Those really helped me out with transforming the toys the first time.

yeah I really do like the RVF versions especially the RVF-25! Im not too worried about breakages as I'll be leaving mine in fighter mode on display next the my CF.

But from what many others say both here and on other websites, they don't seem to suffer as much as the CF version did. But like I said, I won't be transforming it so im not so worried. :)

Quick build! MG 1/100 ∀GUNDAM【MOONLIGHT BUTTERFLY Ver.】

Thanks for Boris for the quick JP stock! Quickly built and shot! Enjoy!

Wow, those wings are really eye-catching, nice build!

Added another robot to my collection!

*terminated*

Awesome T-800! I can't believe how realistic that looks, at first glance that first picture looks like it could be a screen grab from the movie.

Great figures, everyone!

Can I play the Godzilla game? Not a recent purchase, but I did just find him since moving!

*snip*

Awesome shot, those lights are so cool!
