Got two more packages in from NY, that is two SEPARATE packages, since I can't combine multiple TWE items after payment... I love the GM Sniper, the regular cannon fodder GM-79 ANIME figures are really nice themselves, so I knew there would be a great base for future variants. I actually really like the Home-Made Suit Spidey, I've seen some aren't too hot on hit but I think he's neat, he's really nicely articulated, kind of a shame Bandai decided to make him TWE. MK 47 is another nice Figuarts Iron-Man release, I really liked this look in the movie, I love all the extra silver throughout the body.

What shipping method did you go with? That seems like a long time if it was EMS or anything similar. Indeed very odd that Bandai has released almost two dozen Iron-Man figures in the Figuarts line, and then they make the MK 47 a TWE item only attainable when bundled with a Spider-Man figure. I personally can't really complain, I was going to get both either way, and I was more excited for the Spider-Man then another Iron-Man, not that MK 47 isn't cool, I just REALLY liked the home-made suit in Homecoming, and I already have a bunch of different Iron-Man Figuarts. Honestly, they're both cool figures, it's a nice set.

I don't know about anybody else but I'm the one who doesn't like that Spider-Man figure at all.

Damn that's a shame, I love mine to death, he is quickly becoming one of my favorite Figuarts figures in general. You haven't been too hot on a number of Figuarts lately, maybe dial back from the expensive TWE Figuarts and just do a handful of the regular release ones that you know you'll like, spend all that TWE money on something else.

Mine was SAL, seems they have gone on vacation now. I tried getting them to change it to EMS and refused saying it was not possible <_< If im lucky ill be seeing them at the end of the month.

Nice! I just got both of those in the mail today.

Thanks.  I already have Black Bolt from the SDCC Thanos Imperative set and I think that figure is darker so this will be a my second Black Bolt.  Either way sometimes it’s hard to resist buying cool figures when you see them just hanging on the pegs in stores.

Out of curiosity. What is this? Thanks!

Great hauls everyone!

It’s the Macross 35th Anniversary stamp set.  It comes with this inside.

I hear you on that about buying cool figures!

That stamp set looks fantastic!

Since you posted the 35th Anniversary DYRL stamp set @sh9000 (or to anyone that knows), there has been a question in regards to Max and Milla and their respective Q-Rau suits (in the bottom left hand corner 3rd shot) and it seems that is no definitive answer (if this isn't the correct thread I apologize in advance). 

My theory: Since that Max since was interested in Milla (in human form) and they started a relationship together, there is a possibility that Max has gotten interested in Zentradi/Meltrandi technology (through Milla), and that he wanted to experience to what is to be in Zentradi size. Milla had gotten a Q-Rau in the latter part of the movie for Max to use when macro-sized.

Sounds plausible?

Note: I definitely like the stamp homage of the OST cover albums. :wub:

Edit: Just found out that the model kit covers are from the deflunked Arii/Imii and some Bandai.

I don't have a definitive answer or source, but I always thought Max was "enlarged" to zendradi/meltrandi size.  Since what happens is basically the reverse of what happens in the SDFM tv series, I figured they went all the way and made him big.  There isn't much screen time of him after the fight, so I don't know if there is a real way to tell just from the movie.  One of the people involved in production would have to say something about it, I guess (or maybe they already have).

OMG just put mine together the DX Combattler is simply glorious and huge! Everything screams quality and the experience from unpacking to the final combination sequence is unequalled. Opening it was like opening five awesome toys plus accessories, after which follows the even better experience of combining the whole thing. It's like bang bang bang bang bang followed by a big bada booooom!

Combattler V is bigger than Voltus? Is it different from GX-03?

Yes. It’s a different line. New line called DX Chogokin Damashii. Combattler is the third figure to be release from that line. The first two were Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger. Hope they do Voltes V next. That’s an insta-buy for me. ^_^

For more info on the DX Chogokin Damashii line check this link:

Also here’s a comparison between the DX release and the previous Chogokin Danashii GX-50:

Holy sheet! Those are sized like the classic Godaikins! No wonder they cost Y 50,000 smackeroos! If it's Voltus I'd bite too!

Yeah. At 40cm, it's a centerpiece. ;)
