Guest davidwhangchoi Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 so where do i order one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah, I just got mine in today. Pretty disappointed by the quality. It's a decent enough size, but my top tail fins are seriously warped down. They should be straight at about a 45 degree angle. They're curved down almost horizontal on mine. When I looked at the plastic packaging I can see that they probably wouldn't even fit if the top fins were at the proper angle. The paint apps on the missiles is terrible. The main front lights are wrong, my right light piece is not even glued on correctly. The omission of the hydraulics for the cargo ramp is very conspicuous and glaring IMO. Even for the size they could have done something. I've seen it done on smaller toys. Sigh, with just a little more follow though and a little more QC this would have been a great little die cast toy. Oh well, hopefully the other ships will be a little better. Edit: I decided to add some pics of the problems and I thought why not show my latest Nausicaa acquisitions these last few weeks. Seriously warped top tail fins. I'm tempted to heat them up and straighten them out. The larger lower tail fins are die cast, yet they are also warped and bent out of shape. Sloppy paint on the missiles. I can't tell if all that goopy-ness is plastic or excess paint. Now for some cool Nausicaa stuff. We have the Nausciaa and Moeve prepainted model by Cominica Gunship by Formania Ohmu in it's calm blue-eyed state by ensky. The Ohmu is a pull back toy. It's kind of neat as the different sections move back and forth as well as the front mandilbes as it rolls across the floor so it looks like it's crawling and alive as it moves. it is a bit of a blobby mess isn't it.. from the photos you took it would seem that yours is worse than mine! awww I loved Nausicaa! Gee I must watch that again! I added some pics in my original post about it. I was able to get free shipping from toysrus.com on orders over $19. It doesn't seem like it's for a limited time either. Looks like a new shipping strategy they are doing to be competative. I mean I can live with the size, lack of detail or lack of certain features due to the price, but the plastc and die-cast metal being warped and sloppy paint is just not right. I wonder how long it will take for someone to fix the minor issues and do a repaint! oh and I forgot to mention that mine was shipped international..

spanner Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 There was a message from ebay waiting for me this morning, they have pulled the listing, here is hoping that it still comes through! I guess someone has pointed ot out as a potential KO ahh bugger! so they haven't actually cancelled the sale or issued a refund? hope it does come through ok!

Mechinyun Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah i saw that message about the seller and the MPP-10. Does not give me the warm fuzzies! However, the seller did get a positive feedback from another buyer who purchased it saying it arrived fine. Guess we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I think the main thing with this toy is that it was cheap.. but I guess I had my expectations set a little too high. In the end I don't mind so much about its deficiencies as it looks ok sitting on my desk but what did annoy somewhat more so was the cost of shipping. At about 1.5 times the cost of the toy itself and packaged in a box so unnecessarily large that no doubt didn't help in keeping the postage costs down.. And I also had to straighten the rear winglets as they were flopping down. I though it was due to fitting inside the packaging but when I straightened them out I placed the toy back in the packaging and the wings don't touch anything. Might I ask what method did you use to straighten them? I was going to dip the tail fins in very hot water to soften them. I am weary of using direct heat.

I am weary of using direct heat. I just bent them back by hand.. maybe i should have used hot water to soften them first but I was a little impatient at the time. The only issue being is that I made a small stress mark in the plastic on one side during the bending process.. its not very noticeable but only upon closer inspection. Not sure how the plastics would react to hot water though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I straightened out the tailfins with my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieNov Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) They sell MPP-10 locally here for roughly $65. Even though I already have one, I am thinking of hoarding them lol. They're that good. And the price to size ratio makes it almost irresistible to get at least one for yourself. It's hard to believe that you can get something this big with this much quality for half price. I also have the trailer (sold separately) that goes with MPP-10. It sells locally for around $60. Just like Prime himself, the KO trailer is better in terms of quality to the original. Plus they added a slight mold change to improve upon the engineering. Lastly, the bumpers and side grills are chrome!

no3Ljm Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I see. So that really depends on the shipping cost afterwards to the US. The cheapest one over eBay is $96.88 shipped. Paging Barurutor. Edited May 10, 2016 by no3ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 yeah me too i'm curious on the shipping charges. Hey David, looks like the shipping cost to US is higher than the item itself. I tried putting the item in the cart and there's an option for 'Estimate Shipping and Tax'. For US, it's S$116. A total of S$216. That's $157. Looks like it's cheaper to get it from eBay then.

ArchieNov Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) I love this guy. So cute! And the way the eyebrows shift when you open the mouth is epic. And this thing is HEAVY. It's only around 8" tall to the head but it weighs more than the MPP-10 which is much taller. Master Made Diabolus Rex. The same guys who brought you the SDF Makuros.

Muzaffar Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Just got my YF-19 reissue and I have to say it feels a bit cheap compared to the Bandai's VF-19. The VF feels more sturdy and solid compared to the Arcadias. Also, whats with the horrible gaps around the knee area? The VF doesn't have em. A stand would've been nice, too.
