I can answer those questions as well @no3Ljm,  I'm also on the TFW2005 boards as well (Macross fix here, TFs on the other).

Note: This is what I read and understand so far - Zeta is reformat of Toyworld, due to the fact that some of the former employees of Toyworld (from the Design department) left due to the fact that the molds of Coolsville and (the upcoming?) Bruticus was used by Toyworld and didn't pay them for the rights. These employees found out and decided to leave, took the molds of Coolsville and Bruticus with them, formed their own company (now named Zeta). Zeta is doing another run of Coolsville (with tweeks from the former mold) later on under the brand Zeta-EX (?), ETA unsure.

Leia is their take on a MP version of Arcee and scales in-line with FT's Kup and MP-09 (I think that pics with Leia and Hot Rod might be in the MP-28 thread). Pic taken directly from the boards on page 59, post #1180 by member GR1ML0CK (I think that he replaced the head with the Wei Jang one).

Daimchoc has posted a vid of the Metallic version of her (post #1086)

Thanks for this @borgified. Really appreciate it. But based on this pic for me she's kind of too small for MP-09 Hot Rodimus. And looking at the pic below, she's kind of too tall for the recent MP-28 Hot Rod.

Some more shots of toy world Leia. She is in scale with the masterpiece line.

As Kup says from the '86 animated movie in regards to Hot Rod: "A Turbo Revvin young punk". <_<

Man I want one of those Skyfire's.....I know they aren't the best toy ever made, but MAN, he looks good just standing there!

I think you are refering to the old Daca Toys Skyfire that isn't the best toy ever. The one pictured, I'm pretty sure is the Fans Toys, which probably isn't the best toy ever either but should be a hell of a lot better than the one you were thinking of.

Yeah as Slave IV said, you're thinking of the old Daca Toys Chronos, which was garbage, and was widely panned as one of the worst figures ever made. Pictured above is indeed FansToys Phoenix/MP Skyfire, which is hands down one of their nicest figures, and easily one of the best MP figures ever made, official or third party.

How's it compare with the Figuarts version? I thought it was a better likeness of Heath Ledger in the promo pics. 

It’s infinitely better IMO. I’ll buy figuarts over anything but in this case the Mafex is superior. It goes well with the Figuarts Batman.

Damn yeah, still not a fan of the face, prefer Figuarts. Also, in general, I simply can't do Mafex anymore, I've been burned three out of four times. I told myself never again with them over and over, then I bought Force Awakens Rey and her arm fall off, and her face wasn't printed on straight. It's good to see they are still trying I guess? If it didn't bust out of the box that's an improvement for them overall. I heard Homecoming Spidey was nice, but I love Figuarts Homecoming Spidey so I had no reason to bother with the Mafex.

Eaglemoss Shuttlecraft Type 11 from Enterprise E came in today... nice little ship. No obvious QC issues aside from one little black mark that looks like a phaser blast on the bottom side of the cockpit... oh well..battle damage!

Actually she’s pretty spot on in size. Mp-28 is based really on hot rod and the old rodimus should be larger. She works pretty well. I did order the fanstoys as well so I’ll see how that one is.

 

as far as the sky fire, he is one of the best 3rd party mp out there. Fans toys is a better quality figure vs most others. I do like dx9 as well.

Nice! Yeah I meant the Mafex looked more like Heath Ledger than the Figuarts version. The Figuarts Joker looks more like some dude cosplaying as the Joker lol

Good grab! Congrats! :good:

I wish I hadn't sold off my duplicate 25A's... Having only one is not enough. 

Yap, really happy about this model ^_^ Just love it, and colors, best head in my opinion etc, so much fun!

Now i trying to decide want i superparts for 25a or better without it ^_^ And i have issues with 29 and heared about same issues on 25, but my model is really solid and i'm really enjoyed it ^_^

From what I understand, out of all the DX VF-25’s, the 25A is the solid one. And I don’t think it’s the worst. They already re-engineered recent DX releases so it’s very hard to compare with the old ones. ;)

2nd wave of KC SD Valks from HK..

Max 1J TV Super.. and Kakazaki TV 1A.. 

I just ordered the CF 1A TV w/fast packs to round out my collection of these beasties.. 

And BBTS apparently sent my Fokker Super 1S TV...  but getting to the east coast apparently takes longer then HK to the US..  :rolleyes:

New Haul 01/29/2018

 

I don't even have any DB Figuarts in my collection (mostly Kamen Riders), however I may actually get this. That's an interesting colour for Sheryl Nome, I wonder why that they didn't use either the Red or Blue as per the Megahouse version. :blink:

I wanted the blue version as well, they will probably release her as a web exclusive <_<

Pre-ordered this a while back at amiami and it just arrived. AUTOart Lexus LC500. Being resin (or composite as they call it) instead of diecast so it's a little lighter in weight but it's so beautifully built and the attention to detail is fantastic! The paintwork is just gorgeous! Very impressed and pleased with this purchase! And to think on several occasions I nearly cancelled this order! So glad I didn't!

Located a Voltron Classic Black Lion locally @ Target  these things are apparently sorta hard to locate right now, one of the employees told me someone came in and bought up most of what was put out.   Scalpers?   I just want 1  complete set... lol

And the Mailman was busy today!

BBTS Finally delivered my KC Hikaru TV Super 1S..  need to find a Fokker 1S now.. grr.

And my Hi-Metal R collection has finally caught up!  Fokker DYRL Strike,  Hikkaru DYRL Strike (duplicate), CF-1A (#3), and Regult (duplicate).
