Anubis, I would very carefully search the box, packaging, and area where you opened the P for that piece. I have had it before where I felt like I was missing something on a brand new figure, but than months/years later find the piece in the box. Happened about a month ago with a tiny screw cover on my VF-11B.

I tried searching for in in the box, even transformed in the hopes that the piece was wedged somewhere but no luck :(

Mezco One:12 Punisher showed up today.  Not even a really big fan but this is pretty much the coolest Punisher figure ever made.

Nice! I'm waiting for the classic comic version. How do you like the weapons it comes with? Are the gimmicks worthy or just "gimmicks"?

I haven't had time to take any pics lately but I had to get a couple quick shots of Mafex Kylo Ren to see how the scarf turned out in my pics:

Star%20Wars_Mafex_Kylo%20Ren_DSC04843_zp

Star%20Wars_Mafex_Kylo%20Ren_DSC04844_zp

The promo pics of the scarf were really bugging me and that along with Mafex's poor reputation made me almost regret ordering this figure. Having it in hand completely changed my mind and it looks amazing. The best 1/12 Kylo Ren figure for sure. The molded scarf material doesn't like lights in photos and comes off not as good looking (in the promo pics, it looks like a cheap fisher price molded blob) but in person, it looks real and matched almost perfectly with the cloth. If anything, it looks better than the real cloth. Also, check out the detail molded in the eyes! I'll be boxing up my Black Series versions and the only reason I want to open my SHF version now is to use the lightsaber with this figure...it's the only part I think SHF did a better job on.

That Kylo figure is the only Mafex product I've ever seriously considered buying. Most of their stuff looks way too spindly and oddly proportioned. Not sure if their products have just gotten better, or Kylo's design (with robes and all that) just lends itself better to the way they do things.

For such a simple design, I've been really put off by most figures of him.

Yeah, I was pretty much over Mafex based on their other releases but this Kylo Ren has won me over and I'll still be keeping my eye on their releases because of it. I have ROTJ Boba Fett and that seems to be better than previous releases but still not great...this Kylo is a step up from Boba and definitely on the same level or even beter than SHF in this one case. I'm actually wondering about the Sandtrooper now because I haven't put together my Bandai kit version yet.

Wow, I completely missed that release. Is it a Toy Soul 2016 exclusive?

Mini Joe vehicles? That's awesome!

DX9 Hanzo came in. Sixshot was always a childhood favorite. Nostalgia bomb.

I have seen a few reviews were people complain about the wolf mode. I think it is easily the best Sixshot wolf mode out there. The back legs are amazing.

Nice!! Do you have Carnifex by any chance? Im interested to see how they look side by side. 

I got figuarts Gohan and im kinda meh about it. The feet were very loose on the copy I opened and they also seem to be less articulated than the original Gohan release.

Classic Comic Version?  I'm unaware of Mezco planning on something like that.

Gimmicks are just gimmicks.  The cocking mechanism on the pistol is cool but unless you're taking a photo with a macro lens it isn't going to matter much.  Nor is being able to load up the grenade launcher with shells.  But the figure looks good, poses good and you have a lot of options to pose it with.

I'm pretty sure he means the DX version, unless he's waiting on Mezco to announce some other variant that hasn't been shown off yet. The DX version is the one I have on pre-order, and I NEED it.

It is indeed, a great piece. Only thing i dont like is that the weathered on the coat its uneven, like it had being manipulated, but that is only on my figure, pics on others and videos dosent show that way, and its almost not visible.

Another 1/18 die cast aficionado.  AUTOart, am I right?

This just got delivered last Thursday:

And this, about a month ago:

Between these two expensive beauties, I'm completely tapped out for my die cast budget for the next year or two :wacko: ... but they're stunningly gorgeous :wub:

Hehe! You would be correct! Autoart has to be my favorite brand for these models. And wow! That P1 looks bloody brilliant! I have been eyeballing one for a while but they demand good money.. I'd love them to make a P1 GTR! 

That other model is beautiful too! Bugatti?Personally I prefer the more modern stuff.. or at least 1960's onwards. But I'd still appreciate it my collection!

Neither one were cheap, that's for sure... still reeling.

The 1:18 P1 in Volcano Orange is absolutely stunning.  I almost pulled the trigger on TSM's version about a year ago, but then AUTOart announced theirs, and when the orange was released I pounced on the least expensive copy I could find... and I don't regret it one bit.

The second is the 1:18 CMC M-136:  1938 Bugatti 57 SC Corsica, to be exact.  Even more of a wallet killer than the P1 (even if I was able to get it at well under MSRP), but, much like the real car, it's a veritable museum piece... and I'm a sucker for 1930's automobiles  They're like rolling sculptures that just ooze class and style from a bygone golden age of coach-builders who imbued their creations with as much beauty and grace as the technology of their day and their skills would allow, costs be damned.

No Carnifex yet. Still debating that one. Lot's of good stuff coming out lately. Have to pick and choose.

I had a few TSM cars and at one stage had both the AA F1 GTR and TSM's version of the same thing. Side by side they both had their good and bad points but overall the AA model was a better thing so I sold the TSM mode. I had a CMC Porsche 901 but stupidly sold it off but I did buy a Valkyrie with the money so I guess it wasn't that stupid a thing to do. What I like about the CMC models are the finer detail points. The Porsche had wheel covers held on my magnets and the wheels could be removed bu unscrewing the actual wheel nuts! it was a crazy detailed thing! I do miss it but they are now too expensive to replace.. 

That Bugatti is stunning! I too like cars from the 30's but my with current collection they probably wouldn't really fit in all that well.. But who knows maybe one day I will broaden my display. What other cars you have?

Yea although i had tombuy the replacement and send the old one back for a refund. I waited for the new one to arrive in case it was missing any other parts ^_^

Well at least you were given the option to send the original back for a refund. Some shops won't accept that. Mind me asking, where did you buy that from? 

The 19P is the best of the VF-19 line! B))
