Wait. What?! There's Omega Supreme too? Man, now I have to think if I'm going to get those two now. Hehehe. :lol:

Yup. Here's a link to some prototype pics:

You know... after taking a closer look at the base mode pic, I noticed that this Omega Supreme will come with normal robot hands too. I can see the articulated fingers and fists on each side of the rocket. I guess you can leave off the claw and cannon if ever you want to go for a non-traditional look (which is a GREAT option IMO).

The Master Made bots are worth it, Noel, and they don't take up too much space. I have Makuros and Titan (Metroplex), myself, with Diabolus (Trypticon) on the way. Apollo (Omega) was pre-ordered some time back. Their take on Scroponok looks sweet too. For me, it's a great way to collect the transforming city bots without setting aside a whole wall for the display. ^_^

One thing I keep hoping to see is for Master Made to revisit other Macross designs. An SD Macross Quarter or an SD Macross 7 would be an insta-buy for me, especially if they came with more scaled-down SD Valkyries to go with them.

Saburo, I am using 3 lights. 2 of them diffused and the other i bounce off a piece of colored or white paper.

Are you cropping those images, or is the background perfectly black?

Nice! That is a creative use of light by bouncing it off a color piece of paper. I do some cropping for photo composition, the background I use is a black cloth/fabric it cuts down on the amount of light that is reflected.

Thanks No3jim, i am trying.

Saburo, those are some great shots, I am amazed. You have the eye and the skill for it, I love your work.

Ok i played with my light sources, and here is the progress...I noticed i had the lights on in my room and these were being captured by the camera. I had to have total darkness to get the effect i desired. I think this is as much as I can do with my own phone camera. My digital camera broke some months ago, and this is all i have, lol.

I am not trying to hijack the thread, sorry.

Oh man. Those are nice. :wub: I'm contemplating now... :lol:

I thought there's going to be an SD Destroy Monster by Master Made that was announced long time ago. Any idea what happened to that?

Regarding the Master Made TF toys, I'll think about it. ;)

I envy you. A Gurren Lagann is missing in my collection. What is the current going rate for the Riobot? I guess the Konami High Impact toy is impossible hard to get nowadays.

I got it for ¥10,000 off YAJ, i think i got pretty lucky with that one. Here are some more pics of it. Both of these Riobots are really impressive. The green on EVA 01 is what makes the figure :)

You will like it :) It still feels a tad overpriced but im very happy with it. I'll try to open Master Chief today :)

Cool, have fun!

On a related note, it sucks big time play arts figures getting more expensive lately?

Chief, locke and BvS batman are around 120 before shipping. :S

Yeah i collect play arts mostly cause final fantasy, halo and metal gear, but the prices are getting out of hand. My only explanation is that they increise their price to be on a 100 buck lower difference with the hot toys which offer some of the characters on same scale. Edited by Mr Bomber

SO I'm thinking I REALLY need one of these MPP-10 Primes--Can somebody tell me exactly which one I want to look for on EvilBay for about $100???

Something alone these lines is a pretty safe bet..

Yeah, I remember the SD Monster that Master Made teased last year. Wasn't it supposed to be an add-on pack for the Makuros? The prototype was looking very good.

I guess it was eclipsed by the news of Bandai's HMR Monster.

:lol::lol: Even with the HMR stuff, I'd buy an SD Monster.

Does HLJ restock the YF-29s? I have been checking ebay for them and the second market price is too high. When did yours come in?

Great haul!

Nope. No restock from HLJ yet. That's the release prior of HLJ's 'restock' pre-orders last month. It's the release where the shoulders have the reversed SMS shoulder print.
