Technically you're not wrong. Though, I also plan to mix and match assorted parts across all the variants, in different modes. I've also got enough spare canopies to never use the tinted blue ones that came with the Hikaru 1Js. On the other hand, now I'm realizing I wish I had three each of the M&Ms so I could do plain and fast-packed fighter displays, along with a battroid pose.

Though yes it does.. 9 hours ago, Xigfrid said: @spanner that paint job on these cars are top notch, I wish someday we have metallic paint for our macross toys too They are indeed! Other than a small paint chip on the leading edge of the extendable rear wing which was only tiny anyways the paintwork is basically flawless. The metallic fleck is so uniform throughout and no signs of dirt or runs anywhere. My only real gripe with the model is the seat belts which are plastic rather than a fabric type material. Also the carbon weave on the roof panel is a single direction rather than converging on the center line but this does match the actual car so I'm not going to make a fuss about that. But it would have been nice if the weave met in the middle. Surprising that Lexus didn't do that..? Especially for the asking price of the car.

(Puts on engineer hat) It's stronger the way they have it, you want alternating uni- or bi- directional layers when laying composite. Doing a seam of two different directions meeting in the middle creates stress concentrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Nice, thanks for the answer, sourcing a joker now, lol can't really find a good one to date, think mafex did pretty well on joker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I needed a new desk something for my office.... Eaglemoss are just to small, So.. Diamond Select Toys Enterprise E with lights and sound. With Amazon points rewards, $35 out the door. Now.. let me say this.. there's no WAY I'd ever pay full asking price for this, but for half price, it's really not bad at all. I couldn't make a model look this good for $35. The tampo printing is 99%perfect. The lights and sound, well, they are what they are, bright LED's and the little speaker isn't terrible. I'm slowly filling in ALL the windows and some panel lines with Flory's to give it a little more detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabrielV Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I may post pics later. Right now I'm irritated. I got a Eaglemosss big scale TOS Enterprise. Directly out of the box the deflector dish fell off. Also, while examining it, I noticed the starboard bussard collector has something wrong with it. It looks slightly mismolded on the bottom and the color isn't consistent. I'm basically just bitching right now. I don't intend to return the ship. I don't want to deal with the hassle. I'm just going to take my lumps and move on. And I've already repaired the deflector with some superglue. Of course, that revealed the central spike of the deflector dish is molded crooked. I'm very disappointed. My first impression is that my little Corgi Enterprise is better. Crap. I just noticed something else. The starboard nacelle is ever so slightly tilted inboard. I'm glad now that I only ordered this ship. I had originally intended to order the D and the E along with it, but I reserved myself to only check out the TOS and go from there. I won't be ordering the D or E now. I also won't be ordering any of the smaller ships. I may give them another chance on a mega scale Constitution Refit, but otherwise I've been given a negative impression of the Eaglemoss product. Derex, maybe I should have just ordered a Diamond Select Nemesis Enterprise E. I'm not a fan of the E, but I bought the original release of the ship ages ago and it has sort of grown on me. In pics the Nemesis re-release looks like a good upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I totally hear you on Eaglemoss, I have almost pulled the trigger SOOO many times on the XL ships, but after watching reviews online and reading people's reactions, I'm not going down that road. Sorry to hear about your TOS Enterprise, that really sucks. I have been fortunate with most of the little ST ships, although QC is a huge problem with this company!! It's a shame! Could be SO good!

spanner Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I was having a look at these Starships on Amazon and ebay, they are very cool but what annoys me is they aren't to scale with each other. I wouldn't want to have an Enterprise A on display the same size as a Enterprise E or D.. it just wouldn't look right. So my next question is, are there any Enterprise starship models/toys that are to scale with each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tking22 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Got three packages in one day! Two from NY, and one from HLJ. Very excited to check out Chogokin Big O, I missed out on the initial release and the accessory set, so as soon as this went up for PO I snatched it. Dragonball Goku is a GREAT little figure, lots of articulation despite his squat and accurate proportions, plus he has a lot of accessories.

Xigfrid Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I did order and just recieved a few painted deck crew figures (Fujimi plastic set) to get them on my also new TSM carrier deck. The figures are really bigger than the stated 1:72 scale, between 1:60 and 1:55 I would say and the carrier deck was a bit warp, but that wasn’t a deal breaker. I am very happy with both and the new display perspectives ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabrielV Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Orindlt, your massive hoard inspired me to take some pictures of my new Eaglemoss XL Enterprise, so this flood of images is your fault! And, as I was handling it, the deflector dish fell off AGAIN! GRRRRR! Anyway, here we go. I'll spoiler most of these so those who don't want a flood of the Enterprise can avoid it. I took that picture and felt there needed to be a Klingon marauding around, so I took it again with extra bonus Klingon DLC! The Diamond Select Enterprise B is the same scale as the Eaglemoss XL Enterprise, so I had to do a couple of shots of that. It's pretty clear in the first shot, but you can REALLY see how crooked the deflector spike is here. All in all, I thought she was pretty photogenic.
