The Miria 1J I bought during the recent sales arrived this week. Do... do I really need more than one of these? :wacko:

Picked mine up from the post office on Monday, and the answer is yes. Need at least 1 more (than Milia and Roy) so I can have all 3 modes displayed.

"Ray, when someone asks you if you're a God you say YES!"  I feel like that applies to this question as well.

@aaajin   I just picked up the VF-103 tomcat as well..  question have you removed the model from the tray yet?   And if so does your front landing gear door just fall off as well?     I'm not sure how I am supposed to keep it in place.

 

The front landing gear covers are a little loose, they seem to be a tiny fraction too small to catch well on the inside of the well.  What I did was put a small strip of scotch tape around the front of the box, and the thickness of the tape was enough to make them stay in nicely.

The gap you see on the bottom is just the landing gear up replacement tab that is not all the way clicked in.  The missiles, pilots, Tampo, cockpit, this thing is solid.

even has clear and painted parts for the flir and TV pod on the nose

OMG that looks so beautiful! Is it just a trick of the light or is it panel washed too?

Finished up the windows and finally finished painting the horrible smokey black colored stand with Tamiya TS Gold and light gun metal spray cans.  Came out pretty good I guess for a desk toy. The stand plastic was horrible for paint, even after primer. oh well..  Off to work it goes tomorrow morning.

Looks great!  I never really even realized that the windows were blank, I never thought it looked out of place for some reason, I might have to do that as well.

I'm so torn over this.. I've already got a VF-84 Tomcat on my desk, but I'll probably wind up getting the Hik- er.. "Rick" version.  I'm surprised to see it out already though, did you order direct from Calibre?  I'm still waiting on their VF-142 scheme as well.

FedEx didnt bother to deliver my Metal Composite Wing Wero that has been about 30 mins away from me since Saturday but I got some other cool stuff today ^_^

New Haul 02/26/2018

 

Nice! I got my Bane today too. I'll have to pose him breaking the Figuarts Batman's back. :lol:

Maybe I can use Megatron to rob a bank to pay for all the upcoming expensive preorders...

Sanity is Optional, I am looking forward to your pics of Wing Zero and Gipsy Avenger.

My GFFMC Wing Zero arrived as well!

Well, I've only got a potato-phone, but here's some photos.

The stand for the Wing Zero, it disappoints me, the darn thing keeps canting off to one side between the stand and the crotch-attachment. The details and gimmicks, however, are pretty awesome.

But seriously, the stand attachment needs to be WAY more solid for something with that much hardware hanging off of it.

The Gipsy Danger rocks, though the armor and design restricts the articulation a bit, especially the shoulders and waist. It's HEAVY, lots of metal. Pretty much everything from the knees to the waist pivot is steel.

Mine does come loose, but Im displaying it with the landing gears on. Maybe double sided tape, or a layer of elmer glue on the edges would do? I did use a layer of elmer's glue for some of the missles points that were loose. I just dab some on the attachment points & let them partially dry for 2-3 minutes before attaching.

Uuuuuuuugh that thing looks too good. I'm really angry with myself now for never having gotten it.
