Mommar Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 While I would gladly recommend Wolverine and Spider-Gwen I'm not willing to go as far as to say they're the best comic versions. They're pretty hyper deformed and not that accurate in many instances, even if they are cool and fun to pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But so you know they're in great shape. There's no deformation or such. It's just that feeling when I used to play with it back there. Though now I'm planning on letting them go as a loose set via eBay. I just need to sort them out since I don't have any more space for everything. Hehehe. Good to know! I have some of the old Revo figures when they did the smaller scale and these new ones are significantly better in every way. To give an analogy, Bandai SHF and some of their other lines feel refined and precise and they do most things extremely well but conservatively, like a Mercedes. These Revo figures go all out with flair and style beyond what Bandai does but may feel a bit quirky in comparison, like a Ferarri. I appreciate both but one is a lot more fun.

Saburo Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 3 hours ago, Slave IV said: Looking good! I was close to ordering one myself but can't get sucked into Yamato. Its really nice, amazingly detailed for its size, the fuselage is diecast and has a bunch of parts to display it in hanger storage configuration. I only have one gripe about it, the tolerances on the pins to plug into the wing hard points is slightly off so they don't fit nicely. this very apparent on the 3 missile accessory. 1 hour ago, brouken said: Have one incoming with Amiami. That's a big box! Can't wait to get mine! Hehe, somehow I knew that Saburo would have one. Planning to do a reshoot of your Yamato girls with tthe Cosmo Zero? hehe I plan to do a reshoot with the Yamato Girls, but it will be interesting to compose the shots because the Cosmo Zero is smaller than I thought.

What's the scale like roughly, Saburo? 1/100? 1/60? I know the Cosmo Zero is smaller in size compared to a Valk in the same scale. Anyway, can't wait to see more of your pics of the Cosmo Zero, especially with your Yamato Girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolicon Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Some quick pics of my Cosmo Zero. Going by the size of the pilot figures (which I wish were painted) I'd say it's a little smaller than 1/72 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brouken Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Thanks for the size comparison Lolicon! Looks beautiful! Can’t wait to get mine. A little disappointed that it was’t in scale with our 1/60 valks. I guess that’s the closest we’re going to get to a “DX” quality Cosmo Zero.

I love the Poisedon, but not so much the Liger. If I get Poisedon, I'd be too tempted to get the whole set, and I am running out of storage space! So I'm sticking with just Dragon! It's soo much better than the mazingers and the Getter 1. I took my Getter 1 out last night and it frustrates me to no end! Besides, display space is reserved for Macross.

locidm Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Saburo your pics always amazes. Is that just one shot or a composite? How do all three stay in focus?

Xigfrid Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Saburo is a magician when it comes to focus with a 50mm.

As for how everything stays in focus its just as @Sanity is Optional said smaller aperture and lighting.

This was taken before I got my new gear (aka the anime Mecha Upgrade). I don't use a monitor to preview as I shoot, its all eyeball. I do take a few shots with slightly different settings and select the one I like the best for processing. 1 hour ago, Sanity is Optional said: Small aperture and good illumination? You got it!

No problem, that is very short class on photography though. I learned from friends, tutorials and lots of trial and error. Its a fun hobby and it works well with toy collecting.

Have to agree your pictures are so epic. Love 'em all. I did wish for the first batches of Fewture Getter back when it got released but I don't have the moolah yet. Seeing how expensive they are for sure they're all worth it. But I don't think I'll ever buy one down the line. If I'm shifting to Super Robots, I just want a good Voltes V and Daimos. 18 hours ago, Drad said: Grail piece. Indeed, he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's full body.) And if anyone wonders what's the small black piece on the top. It's for this: Special thanks to @Xigfrid for making one.

Those were the only 2 that I wanted from that wave. I saw the Hydra 2 pack online but I passed on it. The only one that I want from the vintage wave is Wolverine and I already have it preordered. I think that’s it so now I’m just waiting for the X-Men and Deadpool waves which I’ll happily buy as cases since I like all of the figures from them.
