sh9000 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) I'm going to customize the head to make a younger Logan. I'll still buy the one coming out later on the vintage card that includes the extra head. Maybe that one will stay MOSC.

I think the one on the "vintage" card is just a reused head from the unmasked Wolverine in the Jubilee BAF from several years ago. I was going to suggest finding one of those to use for the head because they used to be a dime a dozen but it looks like you can't get them for very cheap anymore.

I think it's a slightly different head. I'm happy with the one I made. I just need to fix the hair a little bit and paint over the wrinkles, eyebrows, and hair.

Slave IV Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Wow, you're doing custom Marvel figures too @sh9000? Nice! I finally just watched Logan last night. Surprisingly good movie. I went to 4 Targets and a few Walgreen's over the weekend and saw 0 new ML or BS figures. I did find a TDKR Joker to pretty much complete my Batman collection. The only other figure I'd want is a shriveled Superman if someone ever made one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Rasp Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I got an awesome shipment from HLJ! And what is inside the box??? I am loving the Hi-Metal R Xabungle. I have not watched the show but it is an excellent figure. I got the gundam stuff on HLJ last sale and the re:edit iron man to continue with the growing collection. I need to find time tonight to open Guyver 3 and the Kshatriya. I don't own any other Robot Spirits but the Kashatrya looked too good to pass up.

I haven't picked up the Modular Iron Man yet mainly because I don't think it looks like the Modular Armor design from the comics and the look suits War Machine better to me. Still, it's a great looking figure and I see it's on sale currently...Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Congrats to the people who got the HMR Xabungle. It looks like a cool toy. I originally had it preordered but cancelled it to mainly collect HMR Macross and Dougram. If Bandai made HMR Dorvack toys I'd definitely buy them.

That box art is sweet though. I'm not even going to look at that Guyver 3 for fear of going down that road... After playing with the HMR Xabungle for a couple of days I feel it was worth it. For being close in price to the Dougram it has a lot more options and a transformation gimmick. If you like the HMR Dougram you will like the Xabungle. All the joints are perfectly tolerance, lots of weapon choices, and it can do any pose you want. The diecast is the feet make it really easy to pose, no worrying about it falling over. Plus they used diecast the armature for the cockpit of the lower half. I can't see that breaking during transformation by accident. And the Guyver 3 figma is a slippery slope. I picked up Guyver 1 for a reasonable price and was really impressed with figma. I have the three Guyvers and will pre-order the Bloodborne figma once that goes up (come on already!). Plus the Dark Souls knight and I have the Deadpool figma on pre-order. So very slippery slope, my more wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobytrap Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Seeing multiple people receive their Guyver III from HLJ prompted me to contact them to see why they hadn't charged me yet. Apparently they received a lot less than they expected and won't be able to fill their orders. They said they filled the orders in chronological order. So even though I pre-ordered on 1/6 I was still too late to the party. Wish they would have let me know without me having to follow up with them. Thankfully I was able to find a shop in the US with a reasonable price and free shipping. In the end I probably paid less so it worked out. If you haven't received your payment request better find one somewhere else while you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't received your payment request better find one somewhere else while you can. Is your order still sitting in the Open Orders section? Likely they've been trying to get more stock to fulfill more orders, thus why they didn't contact you just yet. Once they were reasonably sure they wouldn't be able to fulfill the order, then they would let you know they have to cancel your order. It's what they did for me when a model kit I ordered was discontinued. It's a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, I think. If they had let everyone know they were short on stock and were working on getting more, likely a lot of people would cancel their preorders and they would end up with more restock than they need to fulfill orders. At least this way they know exactly how many orders they need, though yeah it does result in some irritated customers. That said, kudos on it all working out in the end.

I didn't get in a preorder for the HMR, but then I found out that this one cost less AND includes a bonus model kit, so I opted for this one instead. I haven't had time to open it yet though. However, my personal favorite in the lot is the MOSPEADA doujinshi. Quite a few neat illustrations in it.

Boobytrap Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yes, it is still open and they said they are trying to fill it. My problem is that these things can sell out fast. If I sit around waiting for them to fill it I may miss out altogether (or have to pay inflated ebay prices). I just would have preferred that they let me know the situation up front so that I would know what is going on and decide how to address it ASAP. It's a minor irritation, but an irritation none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
