I know right! Jipped! Funny though my Paudi Model Infiniti Syline has an opening fuel filler door and it cost 1/3 what the AUTOart Lexus did.. though the AUTOart model is vastly superior everywhere else!

jenius Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hlj hasn't shipped my VE1 yet... Sniffle. It went to PW which always causes a brief delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I just leave mine in the PW for a while so I can combine shipments. Saves me a bit of cash, which I can then spend on more Macross... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh9000 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Make sure to check for looseness on the HM VF-1S. The wings, feet, or other parts might come like that right out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Figuarts Joker looks more like some dude cosplaying as the Joker lol By the way, is Mafex scaled to Figuarts? Joker seems Mafex is better in picture.

Some of them looks good with each other. Some don't. But as for the Figuarts Bale Batman and Mafex Heath Joker. If you look closely again on the pic posted by Anubis. Joker's head is in-line with Batman's ear tip which means Joker is a little bit taller than Batman. But, for overall they look good together.

Original HM VF are all DYRL based so no TV style missiles. However, on the HM-R releases, the ones that came with the TV style missiles are the single VF-1J release, the GBP VF-1J, Messer's VF-1S, and the cannon fodder VF-1A. The rest are have the DYRL release including both Max's and Millia's VF-1J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I was thinking that you have spare Valks since you probably bought those sets only for the TV Missiles since most sets that comes with the Strike/Super Parts doesn't have the TV Missiles.

Good thinking, I ought to pull out the TV missiles from my Messer's and stick them on the Roy's VF-1S, since both the boxes and reaction missiles look silly without the super/strike packs.

Also put some 1/100 TV arm armor on it, put on some kite stickers on the Super Parts, and you get a TV Super VF-1S. 8 hours ago, no3Ljm said: No worries, man.

Yep plenty of spare TV missiles from the multiple HM VF-1J Max’s and HMR VF-1J Hikaru’s. I can equip the HM VF-1S and HMR VF-1J Max and Milia and still have extras.
